Jaimie Birtel Photography - Mercer Island, Washington

As a brand strategist, I know firsthand how essential it is to have branding and lifestyle photos that truly reflect the level and quality of your business. I also hate having my picture taken—so when it came time to level up my own brand, I knew I needed a photographer who could not only deliver exceptional images, but also make me feel at ease behind the camera.

Jaimie absolutely delivered in every possible way. She took my scrappy startup marketing house and helped transform it into a polished, legacy-level brand. Her eye for detail, her ability to capture the feeling of a moment, and her deep understanding of my brand made all the difference. The quality of her work is unmatched, and in my opinion, Jaimie is one of the best brand photographers in the Pacific Northwest.

We did a maternity and newborn photo shoot with Jaimie and we are absolutely floored at how beautiful the photos are! From start to finish, Jaimie takes care of you. Having a client closet of beautiful dresses to pick from and makeup/hair done in your own home really takes the stress away. She takes the time to listen to what your vision is, and if you're not sure, she helps navigate that for you. She's great at communicating and will work with you and your schedule. Jaimie is incredibly personable and fun to be around and will put you at ease right away. I can't say enough wonderful things about her and her work. We will treasure these photos forever. We will be looking to hire her for family photo shoots in the future!

Jaimie is an incredibly gifted photographer! She is so friendly and welcoming - I was put at ease the moment I arrived at her studio. She gave great guidance before the photo shoot so I felt prepared, and her follow-up was incredibly quick! I am so pleased with my photos and couldn't recommend her more!

Update: for my pregnancy, I got the privilege of working with Jaimie again! She stunned us with the photos from our in studio session. My daughter joined some of the photos as well which made the session incredibly special and memorable. Jaimie was so professional yet personal which was the perfect combo to help me feel so comfortable in my pregnancy body. Her client closet is a must v purchasing items for a one time photo use! Thank you Jaimie!

We did a maternity session with Jaimie and really enjoyed ourselves and the final photos! She helped us feel and look comfortable in front of the camera and captured genuine moments between my husband and I. She had a vision for the session and her idea did not steer us wrong. It was the perfect day for the sunset session and she did a great job using the natural light. We loved the photos and her editing style! I wore two dresses from her client closet during the session which was super convenient when it came to outfit decisions. My husband even commented on how “pretty” I looked during it. Hard to feel beautiful when you are 30wks pregnant but these photos really do it!

Whether you need a formal headshot or a fun branding shoot (pink tutu, anyone?), Jaimié has you covered. I was lucky to grab a spot during a recent mini marathon day, which was a fantastic experience. It started with a full face of makeup with a professional makeup artist who made sure it was tailored to my style. It was such a treat to just show up and have someone else take care of my makeup and flyaways. By the time we moved into the photoshoot itself, I felt relaxed and camera-ready.
Jaimié curated a variety of backdrops that were ideal for my brand aesthetic and captured the playful, professional vibe I was going for.
Not only is Jaimié incredibly talented, but she's also a joy to work with. She's warm and encouraging, and she offered helpful posing suggestions that made me feel comfortable in front of the camera. She also helped me choose outfits that photographed well. The mini marathon day was efficient and a great value; instead of waiting days to see the images, we chose the winners right after the shoot, and I have the fully-edited photos in hand just days later. I have a diverse collection of photos I can use anywhere from LinkedIn to Instagram. If you have the chance to get a spot on Jaimié’s calendar, grab it; you won’t regret it!

First time pregnant lady here! I knew I need to capture these memories so I immediately searched for a maternity photographer on instagram and found an extremely powerful photo Jaimie took and that’s when I knew I found my photographer. Not only does her service come with professional hair and makeup that take the load of you but her vision and direction make even the most shy girl like me feel empowered and beautiful. She was a complete joy the entire process! I got my photos back today and I could just cry I’ve been so happy. Book with her and you’ll see this is exactly what she was put on this Earth to do. THANK YOU SO MUCH JAIMIE!

I’m so glad we chose Jaimié to do our newborn photos. She made the whole experience stress free and handled everything including hair/makeup, provided a warm meal for my husband and I, fed our baby, etc. She was also amazing with our toddler. We got our online gallery quickly and are in love with the photos. Worth every penny!
