“Jamie Borland is a consummate professional in the field of narrative and portrait photography. She’s gifted with a gentle and insightful persona that complements her expert skill and experience to help someone like me, shy in front of the camera, “let loose” in order to capture a part of my “essence.”  She caught me in multi-faceted looks and scenes that communicate the complexity of who I am while making me accessible to those who search my new author website; even I find them appealing and I don’t often like photos of myself! Also, there is an honesty in the photos that without her ability to draw me out, I might not have explored. I believe the photos enhance my media presence significantly—they both keep someone on the site (“I’d like to know HER!) and help break down the inherent distance between me, the author, and readers who want to know me. The photos make the site welcoming, evocative, and honest: I am that interesting person she captured so beautifully! “
