Omg!!! I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Jackson. I loved how, at ease, he made me feel during the shoot. I enjoyed the process. It didn't take as much time as I thought because he was quick thinking with shots and poses and all that fun stuff that makes the pictures great.
First, when Jackson walked in, I was expecting a whole lot of gear, but the magic that was created with just his camera and flash, omg. Need I say more? The pictures were worth the wait.
Communication was 100% because even though it took a week and a couple of days for me to get the pictures, he was quick with updates. He communicated well, so I knew what was going on.
Let me just say the final product is worth the wait.
Hire Jackson. He'll deliver. I found my personal photographer. I love my pictures, my best friend loves hers, and we wish we hadn't already booked a photographer for her party this weekend, but we will have a lot more projects together. Thank you, Jackson.

This is my second time around using Jackson’s Art Studio, and I am blown away at how Garrett keeps exceeding my expectations! I usually don’t write reviews, but I felt compelled to write a 2nd one, in this case. We used him for our maternity photos and they turned out great, so we called him back for the infant photos. First of all, appointment was at 9am and he rang the doorbell at exactly 8:59am. He was great with our daughter! Initially, she was fussy. He waited for us to feed her and he was able to get her calmed and proceeded with the shoot. We hadn’t done much tummy time before that, so I was shocked at how he was able to get her into different positions to make for some amazing shots. My in-laws were at our house at the time, and they were shocked at the personal touches that we were able to get with Garrett versus the experience that they had seen at the big box studios. We were even able to do a few outfit changes calm her back down, and resume the shoot. I was nervous, initially, because he was one of the first people outside of the family to come visit her, but he did a great job and will continue to be on the top of our list for all our projects requiring a photographer. You can tell he really finds joy and takes pride in his work, and that’s always a blessing to see and experience! I highly recommend using his services.

You won't be disappointed!
I am so pleased that I found Jacksons Art Studio on Thumbtack! I had family members traveling in town and we wanted to get family photos done with a professional (9 adults, 1 infant). I reached out pretty late notice and he was able to accommodate. VERY fast at corresponding with me about details for what I wanted done and at a great value. Garrett came on site to my grandmother's assistant living home for our photo shoot and was prompt and easy to work with. He captured great posed photos and priceless candid shots of both my 93 year old grandmother and 11 month old nephew. He worked quickly through my requested shot-list and we had plenty of time to get several more with his efficiency. I appreciated that he made an effort to create variety in all of our posed photo groupings and showed me some of the shots along the way to make sure I was happy with the outcomes. He worked hard at our shoot and was very experienced at working with babies too!
Garrett was fast to deliver our photo proofs and updating me along the way. The photos were beautiful and we went with purchasing the entire lot. Thank you for the wonderful and treasurable investment!

Garret was awesome. He made this experience for me and my fiance a great one. He made both of us feel extremely comfortable and he made it so fun. The price was great for our engagement photos and they look great.I can only imagine what they will look like once he is done editing them. If you are looking someone who cares about their customer and has a passion for what he does Garret is your man.
