Portraits by Jake was born from a love of capturing moments that matter. I first picked up a camera in 2019, just experimenting with whatever I could find around me. Over time, what began as a hobby quickly turned into a passion—especially for travel photography. Whether I was exploring new places or simply documenting life as it happened, I fell in love with telling stories through the lens.

Whether it’s your senior year or a special milestone, I’m honored to be part of your story.
