Artist Bio
“Art is taking a small piece of the infinite world inside us and bringing it to the outside world!”
Photography by Lisa Murphy Photography 2018
"I want my photographic work to take me all over the world, to push me to try new things, to meet new people, to have exciting interactions and experiences. I want to go on a quest for what is life, what it is to live and to be alive. I want my work to be a balance between the commercial and the artistic and to always be creative. To seek, question, learn, understand, share, to teach; I wish to inspire that in others. Life is a journey and it's not about the ending but the ride, the people you met, the places you've been, and the experiences you've had." - J. Pace
“If I'd observed all the rules I'd never have got anywhere.”
-Marylin Monroe
“Dear Diary, you have no idea, this is the life and times of J.Pace. Freelance artist and photographer.”
A little Artist Interview with J.Pace on the way to a shoot as well as some behind the scenes with J.Pace Photography during a on location boudoir shoot.
I go by J.Pace, but you are welcome to call me Jennifer.
Hi, I'm J.PACE– Your Creative Photo Bestie
My love affair with photography started early—my first camera was a disposable one my mom handed me on a family vacation when I was five. From that point on, every trip and school field trip became a chance to document the world around me. At eleven, I got my hands on a Minolta SRT 101 (35mm), and by thirteen, I was in the darkroom making my first prints. It was love at first exposure.
I have a deep-rooted background in film photography—it’s where my heart lives—but I also embrace the flexibility and immediacy of digital. I offer both, and even love blending them, like adding a roll of film to your digital session for that dreamy analog magic. (Heads up: full film shoots take a bit longer to process, but it’s always worth the wait.)
After earning my A.A. in Fine Art Photography from Shoreline Community College, I moved to Oakland in 2013 to pursue my B.A. in the same field at California College of the Arts. I graduated in 2016, spent some time in Portland, and eventually made my way back home to Seattle in 2017—where I’m currently based and always seeking new inspiration.
I'm not a niche photographer, and honestly, I don’t want to be. I love shooting it all. From intimate boudoir and fine art portraiture to weddings, couples, families, fashion, products, food, events—you name it. Photography, to me, is about creative freedom and deep connection. Each genre teaches me something new, and they all feed into one another.
Over the years, I’ve worked with mostly individuals but also vintage clothing stores, local restaurants, fitness studios, an adult sports league, and small businesses to create everything from styled shoots to social media content. I thrive on what I call the creative/photo challenge—you tell me your wildest photo dreams, and we’ll bring them to life together.
When you book a shoot with me, it’s more than just taking pictures. It’s a full experience. I want you to leave feeling inspired, empowered, and connected—not only with the art we create but with yourself. Whether we're capturing your love story, your business, your body, or a moment in time, I’m here to hype you up, make you laugh, and help you feel seen.
Let’s make art that feels like you.
