Jamie Rakes Photography

So senior photos anyone?? These are some photos I took back in 2022! Would you believe me if I told you there were actually no clouds in the sky? I love going to different festivals and taking pictures! However sunflower festivals in Utah might just be my favorite!

There is just something about at home newborn shots that I can’t get over! The love that are captured in these photos are the reason that I offer newborn photography!

Here is another newborn photoshoot I did a couple of years ago! I love how these ones turned out.

I haven’t posted in a couple of years now, but I’m still doing photography! The next couple of days are going to be filled with some updated photos I’ve taken over the past couple of years! So stay tuned!

Here are some photos I took last year! I love doing newborn photography! There is just something about capturing these sweet little faces!

Let’s talk about Post Production! I love the idea of blending different photos together to tell a story or convey a message! These photos are both photos I have taken this semester at school. I used a LUT to edit the ballerina!

Can we just talk about RGB lights real quick??? I love how these lights add more color to the shots in a way that doesn’t overpower the subject but adds depth and emotion to the shot.

I have always been a fan of landscape photography because it has always just come naturally to me. However I really like portraits especially themed portraits. So when my class had the opportunity to go and take pictures at The Venue Studios in Rigby Idaho I was really excited. These are some of the shots I was able to get and love how they turned out!

Hey everyone sorry I’ve been MIA on here for a while. But I am back and I’m so excited to share some amazing shots I’ve captured for a trip I took last month to the Tetons!

Do you have a picture you wish was edited? An iPhone/Android picture, a professional photo, or really just any photo you have? I want to try something! Send me your pictures that you want edited and I’ll edit them for free! You heard that correctly, I want to edit your pictures! So send them my way!

Remember those pictures my sister posted of me in my natural habitat?? Well here is the result! As a photographer you won’t imagine everything I do to capture THE image. If I have to lay in the floor I will, have to climb a tree? Hold my camera real quick. Would the picture look better if I stood in that thorn bush? Brb.

I love being able to bring ideas to life with a camera and unique lighting! Sometimes difficulties arise like bad lighting that makes for a low quality image, or weather that’s not cooperating with us, or even not being able to find a good camera setting, but these are all things photographers have to deal with. We work with what we are given and we will do anything to capture THE image for our clients.

Thank you Brook for letting me take these pictures for you and capture this moment for you! Also thank you for picking the American Sign Museum in Cincinnati for a shoot as well, it was the perfect location to get these amazing pictures!

Is it bad for someone to miss something but not at the same time? I love Idaho and miss it dearly and I can't believe I am about to say this but I also sure do miss the snow, but as far as I am concerned it can stay in Idaho for the time being. Isn't there just something magical about the snow??
I am so happy my roommates agreed to let me take pictures of them in the freezing cold Idaho weather before I left to come back home! I am pretty sure there are going to be plenty more snow pictures to come in the near future!
