Jamie Simpson, Owner and Photographer, J Simpson Photography
Jamie is wife, mother to three (two that are nearly Irish twins), daughter, sister and friend. She has been preserving lifetime memories for hundreds of families throughout Central Indiana and the Indianapolis area for 13 years now! She currently lives in Franklin on a horse farm with three dogs and two horses, and the kids usually have a goat or pig around for their current 4-h project.
Her love of photography began at the age of 8 when her grandmother gave her a “real” camera. After going to Purdue University for undergrad and Indiana University for her Master’s, then working as both a CMT and musician, she and Scott married and almost immediately started a family.
When she realized with her experience that she could photograph her own babies just as well as someone else, I started J Simpson Photography while home with her children. Jamie focused mainly on weddings whiled learning the intricacies of photographing newborns.
Now, she focuses on maternity, newborn and family sessions.
