I am a friend, mom, wife and artist. I am happiest doing things that require creativity and working with people, that's where you come in! Capturing individuals' unqiue personalities and expressive moments is my passion. I have been on this path since 2001 and love every minute of it. When we were looking to hire a photographer for our son's bar mitzvah, Jamie Collin's name was shared by many. After working with her over the course of our celebratory weekend, it was easy to see why she is so highly recommended.

I needed to have an author photo taken for my debut novel for 9-12 year olds, Honey and Me, and I cannot recommend Jamie highly enough. From the moment I spoke to her on the phone she was already thinking of ideas, wardrobe colors and sending me pictures to use as inspiration as we discussed what I needed. I am not someone who normally feels comfortable in front of the camera or posing, but Jamie's assured and warm style, confidence in her abilities, patience, good humor and creativity quickly erased all my anxiety and the whole photo shoot was actually really fun, not to mention the whole experience being positive. My goal was to have one or two decent head shots to use as my author photo, and in the end it was so hard to choose because she got so many great ones!

Jamie is one of the most talented photographers I've ever worked with. She has an amazing eye and also the ability to bring out the personalities of everyone in front of the lense in such an authentic way. I have had dozens of clients hire her for their celebrations and everyone has been blown away. I would recommend Jamie for any celebration - you can't find better.

Absolutely fantastic! Hired for newborn shoot after researching a ton of local photographers and SO glad I landed on Jamie. She was a breeze to work with, so accommodating, thoughtful and very talented. Went above and beyond throughout the session to get the best shots and was so supportive (extra appreciated as a first time new mom!). Will be using for all family shoots moving forward :)

Jamie is the most amazing photographer. I absolutely adore working with her. Her eye is magical! She is able to capture joy and love in her pictures. Jamie photographs seamlessly. She doesn't interfere with the celebration, she adds to it! I would always use Jamie to photograph any life events. Jamie has become a friend and I feel so blessed that she came into my life! She is a wise old soul. Anyone who has the pleasure to work with her and get to know her will be better because of it!

Jamie captured so many amazing moments at my son's bar mitzvah! She was warm, fun, enthusiastic and made us all at ease taking photos. We are not a family who does yearly professional photos so this was new to us and we couldn't be happier with the outcome of this special day. Jamie is a true professional in every way, utilizing the space for photo backdrops, lighting, capturing each moment/family member. She is a true gem! We can't wait to celebrate again with her at another event.

I've been using Jamie for a bunch of our corporate events. She's always been polite, punctual, and energetic. She has a great eye and has captured some unforgettable moments. She somehow gets all the important pictures done in a tight timeframe and always captures at least a handful of pictures of everyone that attends our events. The turn around time for the photos is immediate and we're always pleased with the quality. We always look forward to having her at our events!

We've had the absolute pleasure of having Jamie document several of our large family celebrations over the years. There is no one better we could think of to help us create memories. Jamie is a photo fairy! Her warmth, kindness and enthusiasm are unmatched. Somehow she's able to get even the most reluctant guests to loosen up and pose for the photos without them ever feeling pressured.
She always appears at the best possible moments during an event, and somehow manages to capture it all - the large scale happenings and the small intimate ones. Jamie possesses a set of skills and problem solving abilities that she shares generously - like knowing exactly what to do when a bunch of kids get stung by a swarm of bees during a Bar Mitzvah celebration! We love Jamie and would wholeheartedly and unequivocally recommend her for any type of event. 5 stars!

Jaime is the photographer you've been looking for! She really knows her stuff! Jaime was professional, out going, fun and creative! She produces top quality photos with a keen eye for detail. She worked with us every step of the way for our daughters bat mitzvah. Jaime developed a great relationship with our daughter and made her feel comfortable and confident enough to be able to shine in her pictures! Thank you Jaime!

Jamie photographed our daughter's Bat Mitzvah in March 2021. We couldn't have been happier. She is easy to work with, friendly and extremely accommodating. We had a last minute change of plans and she figured out how to make it work without hesitation. She went above and beyond and captured everything perfectly. She truly wants everyone to be happy.

Jamie is an amazingly talented photographer. She made our family pictures look so gorgeous, and somehow managed to get all of us looking in the same direction at the same time. This is no small feat for a family with four children and two dogs! So many of our friends commented on how much they loved these pictures when we put them on our Christmas card. In fact, we have already booked Jamie to do our family photos for this year.

Absolutely superb. Jamie was the photographer at my daughter's wedding, and she was the best. At first, she did a photo shoot for the bride and groom. Then she took pictures at the wedding. She organized photo shoots, making something like a small theatrical show. It was unobtrusive and professional. All the guests were delighted with Jamie. The photos exceeded all expectations. Absolutely all more then 1500 photos are of excellent quality. If you want to like how you look in your photos, invite Jamie to the celebration. I highly recommend it.

I interned forJamie Collins Photography this summer. I networked with so many great people that I can refer to when I have my own business. She is so easy going and will make sure that she is providing the best experience for you as well. She is someone that I will always keep in contact with, and she is more than just a boss, she is a friend, supporter, and most of all a go getter!
