Candid Family Portraits in the Sandia Mountains with Julia and Family

From Porsche photos to candid family portraits in the Sandias

Julia first contacted me about a year ago to make photos of her dad and his stunning new Porsche Taycan. This time it was photos for the whole family with a candid family portrait photo session in the Sandias in Albuquerque, New Mexico. You would not be able to believe it from the photos, but it snowed overnight and in the morning where we shot it would have been totally snow covered! By the late afternoon it melted and we had our candid family portrait session as scheduled. It was a fun time in the mountains making portraits. Thank you Julia for continuing to choose me as your family’s photographer!

Same Portrait Anniversary Tradition in Albuquerque New Mexico

An anniversary portrait tradition in Albuquerque

Skip contacted me about making a very special photo for him and his wife. They have the tradition of having a photo made on their anniversary in the same pose, with the same outfits too. This all started with a photo made on a cruise ship! So now about every 5 years they have a new portrait made like that. This is the exact kind of surprise photography shoot I love to have here at Jason Collin Photography. Thank you so much Skip for choosing me as your photographer for thiis special anniversary portrait photo!

Candid Family Portraits are the best in Albuquerque

A bit of history about Jason Collin Photography. I started this photography business in June of 2009, so now I am celebrating 12 years as a full-time professional photographer! Like many photographers, I started out as a lifestyle photographer (weddings and portraits). Due to a number of factors, around 2012 I made the transition to being a commercial photographer. I still enjoy, however, the opportunities I get like this one to photograph a very fun family for candid family portraits. We met in Altura Park and from the first shot it was go time for making my favorite kind of portrait, a candid one! Monica, Mary, and their whole family pretty much came up with all their own ideas for the photos and I just had to capture them! Thank you for a great shoot!

Creative Commercial Portraits Brick Wall Background in Albuquerque

Meeting client requests is what it means to be a professional commercial photographer in Albuquerque. Jason contacted me needing natural light portraits, with a brick wall background. So I began scouting locations in downtown Albuquerque that had a brick wall and would be in shade at midday to be able to shoot a natural light commercial portrait in. Having found the perfect location for the photoshoot, and done all the prep work ahead of time, and having 12 years experience as a pro, the shoot ended up taking less than 10 minutes of Jason’s time so he could get back quickly to his busy work day. That’s what it means to choose me as your commercial photographer. He also had his edited portraits delivered only 3 hours after the shoot!

Creative ideas for actor portfolio shots in Albuquerque

Local Albuquerque actor O’Brien visited the JCP Home Studio for a series of portfolio shots and headshots.

This was a really fun photo shoot with O’Brien being open to my ideas and bringing his own ideas as well. The result was a varied portfolio shoot with maximum creativity.

Headshots for Actors in Albuquerque New Mexico with Leslie

Covid-19 Safe Headshot Photoshoot of Actor in Albuquerque

Looking for a Covid-19 safe headshot shoot, Leslie visited the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico for the best headshots for actors in the city. We used three different background colors to create both serious and friendly actor headshots. Leslie said her nature is to be outgoing and friendly, so showing more serious expressions was not so natural to her. I helped her think of things to get the serious expression she wanted. Her agent loved the photos so we were able to get the expressions needed. Thank you Leslie for choosing me as your headshot photographer for your acting headshots.
