Chris approaches photography with a fresh adventurous spirit and a heart that stays wide open. He is always looking for new experiences and ways to make people feel special and look their best. His compassion was forged over two decades as a radiographer in Level 1 trauma centers across the U.S., bringing out true love and understanding of how vulnerability connects us and makes us all beautiful.
The artist in Chris combines with his love for science, pushing him forward to explore new techniques, angles, and ideas in photography, and his photographs are widely considered to be both trend-setting and timeless. His empathy allows him to stay connected and devoted to creating deeply personal and authentically beautiful work. For Chris, a photograph is like a song that you listen to over and over, evoking memory and new emotions as the years go by.
Chris finds his inspiration through relationships and his love for nature. Traveling with Jacklyn for work and pleasure, he has photographed the most stunning places on earth and spent months in the wilderness of North America, most recently traveling to Katmai in Alaska to photograph brown bears.
Chris loves: Making others feel special, cooking, laughing, fine whiskey, getting off the beaten path... and Jacklyn. (And Koda too, of course!)

Love Jacklyn and Chris. Not only did our photos come out STUNNING, but they made our wedding day so special. We felt so comfortable with them and will recommend them to anyone who wants amazing photos.

“There are no words to describe my experience with JAGstudios. Aside from the very obvious fact that they are, quite simply, the best photographers around, your pictures will be breathtaking, and everyone will constantly rave about them months and years later, and the essence and feel of your day will be perfectly captured, no... ASIDE from all of that, Jacklyn and Chris are consummate professionals. And to me, even more importantly, they become your friends. They genuinely care, and it is very clear that this isn't just a job for them. They are passionate about what they do. At the end of the

day, all you have are these photos and your own memories to rekindle the feelings of your wedding day, and I cannot imagine anyone doing it better than Jacklyn and Chris. They did our engagement photographs in Paris, France as well, and there was so much personality in them - they were able to capture both of us, our spirits, how we are with each other, and our unique personalities, because we were so comfortable with them. Their humor and positive attitudes are infectious. On your wedding day, you want everyone around you to be your friend, including the people working. It adds to the mood of the event, and everyone feels inspired. I truly felt like they were guests at my wedding and we were so thankful to have them there. They are FUN, thoughtful, caring, kind, friendly, hilarious, and extraordinarily talented. What more could you ask for? THE. BEST. PERIOD. Honestly, you will be lucky to have them."

Jacklyn and Chris are absolutely amazing, they truly care about their clients as friends and are obviously incredibly talented as you will know if you review examples of their work. We could not have had a better experience working with them for our wedding at Winvian Farm!
