Advertising Photographer & Director | Denver + Seattle

Hey, I’m Jake!

​

I’m an advertising and editorial photographer and director working between Denver, Colorado and the Pacific Northwest. Originally from Ohio, I’ve built my career in the places that inspire me most — mountains, rivers, coastlines, and the communities connected to them.

​

With over a decade of experience and a BFA in Photography from Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design, I specialize in creating thoughtful, story-driven imagery for brands, agencies, and publications. My work spans product, food, and lifestyle, blending refined commercial execution with a natural, human feel.

​

Whether I’m working in a studio or chasing light in the field, my goal is always the same: to create images that feel honest, intentional, and aligned with your brand’s values. I believe the strongest visual work comes from collaboration, trust, and a clear point of view.

​

Outside of photography, you’ll usually find me growing food, working with sustainable farms, exploring the outdoors with my family, or getting overly competitive on a pickleball court.

​

If you’re looking to create meaningful visual work — or just want to grab a coffee and connect — I’d love to hear from you.
