When was the last time you actually felt good about a photo of yourself? For many people, having their photo taken can feel awkward or stressful — but it doesn’t have to be that way. My goal with every headshot session at my Pacific Grove photo studio is to make it a relaxed, fun, and empowering experience that leaves you not only with professional photos, but with a real confidence boost too.
Here’s how I make sure you’ll feel good during your headshot session:
5 Reasons Why You Need Professional Photography for Your Airbnb, VRBO, and Vacation Rental Property
If you own an Airbnb, VRBO, or vacation rental property in the Monterey Peninsula—whether in Pebble Beach, Carmel, Big Sur, Pacific Grove, or Seaside—you already know how competitive the market is. Guests are scrolling through dozens of listings at once, and first impressions are everything. That’s where professional photography makes all the difference.
5 Reasons Why You Need a Modern Professional Headshot
If you’re in Monterey, Pacific Grove, Carmel, Pebble Beach or Seaside, and you haven’t updated your headshot in a few years—or ever—it might be time to invest in a modern professional headshot. Whether you're advancing your career, building your personal brand, or launching a new business, a high-quality headshot is more important now than ever. Here are five reasons why getting a professional headshot is one of the smartest and most impactful things you can do.
Always interesting to think and talk about photography
I was contacted by Bold Journey to share some of my thoughts about different aspects of becoming and being a professional photographer. Like, how does one get the confidence to be a professional photographer? What qualities are the most important to develop? It was a fun challenge to think on these questions and answer them in some detail. Thank you to the team at Bold Journey for this opportunity!

Thank you for making 2021 the best year ever for Jason Collin Photography
I am very fortunate to be able to say 2021 was the best year ever, by far, for Jason Collin Photography. Thank you so much to all the new clients in 2021, and a really big thank you to all the returning clients in 2021. I truly appreciate you choosing me as your photographer and drone pilot! For 2022 I have an all new, more capable drone (DJI Mavic 3 Cine) to produce even better aerial drone photos and video, and for photography clients, new lenses and improved editing techniques will make photos in 2022 better than ever.
Well, somehow I have made it 12 years as a full-time professional photographer. Like most businesses, it has not been a smooth, linear progression going ever upward, but rather a roller coaster. Jason Collin Photography as an official licensed business started in June 2009. However, I was first paid for photography in 2008 when I still lived in Tokyo, Japan. In 2009, having returned to Florida, circumstances convinced me I needed to create my own job, and I made the bold leap into being a full-time photographer immediately, no keeping a part-time job or anything.
