About Jeff
As a self-taught photographer, I’ve cultivated a deep passion for capturing the most precious authentic moments in time and connecting with new people. With my unique editorial and airy photography style, infused with a journalistic touch, I create stunning visuals that tell the story of you.
Drawing from over 10 years of experience in photography, I can confidently say that there’s no other “job” that brings me greater joy. If you’re searching for a photographer who not only possesses a genuine love for his craft but also a meticulous attention to detail, look no further. My commitment to delivering high-quality images is unwavering, ensuring that your memories will be cherished forever.
Apart from my love for photography, I find immense admiration for the American Bulldog, considering them the perfect family pets. Born and raised in New Jersey, my East Coast roots run deep, having explored vibrant cities from Boston to Miami. However, it’s in the picturesque landscapes of Tampa Bay, Florida that I’ve found my true home. Now, I’m thrilled with the prospect of meeting new people and capturing their stories in this enchanting setting.

The Experience:
At the start of our session, we’ll spend time on setup. We’ll position the lights to flatter you best and decide how many to use. Then we’ll take many test shots to find your ideal body position and head angle, experimenting with tilts to the side and front to back to get the right shadow density and placement. After this, we’ll practice different poses to see what suits you best.
Many photographers fall into a routine of quick sessions: “come in, shoot, pay, leave.” This keeps the focus on the photographer. At Jeff Jansen Photography, I prefer to put the spotlight on you, the subject. My goal is to connect with every person who comes in front of my camera, capturing real, responsive expressions built on trust. . I don’t want to just give you a great headshot, I want you to have an experience, an experience you’ll never forget. The final image you use then becomes a result of the experience I had the opportunity to give you while you were in front of my lens.
When you’re in front of my camera, whatever’s happening in your life for those two hours fades away. I have your full attention, thoughts, and focus at that moment. As humans, we naturally want to look good when we’re being recorded, and we’re very aware of it. This does a couple of things. First, it makes things odd for the person being photographed. People act strangely, their faces change, their body language shifts, their whole demeaner changes – it changes everything! But you know what? That’s the best thing that could happen. If nothing changed, why would you need a photographer? Anyone could take that picture, even Uncle Ralph with his new DSLR camera. The difference is I have skills Uncle Ralph doesn’t. People change in front of cameras, and it’s my job to bring you back to yourself. That’s where I give you the experience, the Jeff Jansen Photography Experience…
