Jerz Photography

Hi everyone! It's been a long time!

Throughout the last few months, I have been focusing on other things, but I want to get back to photography on a deeper level.

I am looking for people who are in need of photography and I am willing to offer deeply discounted rates for any type of work; Families, headshots, events, business promotion, anything really. They say the best way to learn and get better is to work more often.

I have been a professional photographer for 9 years and have a wide range of experience outside of live music and nightclubs including modeling, weddings, cars, and lots more.

Please reach out with any questions and I hope we can work together soon!

When I am not running around with a camera, I am at the Zoo, running around with a camera.

My regular job is as Marketing Coordinator for the Utica Zoo, which regularly affords me the opportunity to work closely with animals. This is one of our Arctic Fox who has recently finished her winter coat transformation; she has a brown and slate-gray color during the summer.

Did you know Arctic Fox change color to adapt to their habitat? During the winter months, their coats turn a bright white color to help them blend in with the snow. During the summer, they are a brown and gray color to help them blend in with the rocky areas that they hunt.

One of the main problems with climate change in the Arctic is that the snowy areas could become less prevalent, changing its habitat, which would then change the effectiveness of their cold weather adaptation.

Climate change is not always a direct effect but can have domino effects down the line.

I met Brian and Shawna through a previous wedding client. They really enjoyed seeing wedding photos that weren't perfectly crisp and clean and wanted something different. Along with their helpful pup, they are both wild and fun loving and are big fans of the outdoors.

This was the second of two engagement sessions we scheduled. When we met last year, they both expressed their interest in doing engagement photos during the autumn season, but were also eager to make an engagement announcement. I suggested doing two sessions that were uniquely different from one another to compliment their February wedding. One spring set, one fall set, and one winter set is perfectly paving the way for Summer family photos down the road.

"Times, they are a changing..."

You may have noticed my recent business name change. I have been "Dirty Jerz" for 8 amazing years. This past year has been full of growth, personally and professionally, and while I have been thinking about this change for a few months, it was time for my business to reflect the growth I have experienced.

You can still count on me to be there to take the photos of the moments you won't remember, but I will be pursuing new work for a majority of my business. I hope you continue to follow along and join me for my new pursuits.

Got up early and took some photos with the Utica Zoo Squad.

The Utica Zoo staff was on hand for Boilermaker Sunday! Not only were we a hydration stop, but we brought a few of our animals out to visit with the runners.
