jamie lang photography bio picture
  • who is jamie lang?

    a picture speaks a thousand words and I believe that the more i photograph people.

    let me tell you what i love: the art of photography, warm sandy beaches, the warmth of sunshine in a tropical climate, good literature, traveling, sailing, bull-breed dogs, and of course, my family & friends.

    i am: an artist and a dreamer.

    during college i figured out that i loved photography about as much as i loved reading, so after finishing my literature degree, i became passionate about learning the art photography.

    my goal and passion is to create memories for you and your family – memories that will be happy snippets of your lives together, for you to cherish and look back fondly on - whether it's one or several images, one or several family members.

    my style is very much in the fashion of photojournalism - i aim to capture the events as they unfold -- i'm not much into formal posing and all that. weddings are the best examples of extremes of emotions and they are always fun and exciting to capture. recently, a friend told me weddings are "theatre" for the average person. i think that captures the excitement of wedding perfectly!

    Passionate about capturing your most precious moments.

rainy afternoon photo shoot with my baby

she’s growing up – has lost eight teeth and has new ones … i always think losing baby teeth make a child grown up, somehow.

alaska theatre of youth

this past few weeks i’ve been photographing the children at ATY – behind the scenes and during their performances. all images from these events can be found in this folder. the first shoot i did for them was midsummer’s night dream – the musical – for publicity in the local newspapers and i pretty much adore them.

totem pole carvers

i had the most excellent time shooting the totem pole carvers at alaska native heritage center last week. it was an amazing process to watch and i spent a lot of time (too much time?) talking with the extremely talented & kind master carver israel shotridge. all of the master carvers who were carving were amazing. i feel so special being able to be part of documenting this process. images here are of israel shotridge and bothers: joe and tj young. israel is carving eyak and tlingit house posts; joe and tj young are carving the haida house post.

boston terrier puppies!

jon and the girls brought all the boston terrier puppies over – their first car ride and their first new place to explore. they were super hyper and hard to photograph – they ran all over the studio and wouldn’t chill out. there are a few of the “ok” photos we ended up with.

ryan turns 33

we had a super fun time at ryan’s 33rd birthday party — of course it sounds like we left way too early because all the craziness happened after we left.

new toys

i finally treated myself to some new lights — three of them to be exact. i thought they would all be way too big to use in my studio, but they’re perfect. i might have been able to buy a few bigger ones too. oh, well, i’ll have to save that for the next time i go on a shopping spree for lights.

models: my daughters.
