About Me - Jamie Burns

Hi there! I'm Jamie, a passionate photographer who loves capturing life's most unforgettable moments! With over 20 years of experience in event planning, marketing, and communications, I know how to blend creativity with exceptional attention to detail to make every photo pop.

My journey with photography started as a fun hobby and quickly grew into a full-blown passion. I have a B.A. in Communication and a minor in Tourism Management from Texas A&M University, giving me the perfect mix of skills to communicate visually and connect with my subjects.

My professional background includes roles as Assistant Manager, Manager, and Marketing Manager at the Annenberg Presidential Conference Center, where I have worked since 2014. I’m also a dedicated teacher, sharing my knowledge and enthusiasm with freshmen at Texas A&M University through the Hullabaloo U Course.

When I'm not behind the camera or teaching, I love to give back. I volunteer with nonprofits including Still Creek Ranch, Voices For Children, and Elizabeth House Maternity Home. I'm also on the board for 100 Women of BCS. In my downtime, you'll find me spending time with my dog, enjoying Aggie sports, traveling, dancing, and listening to live music with friends and family.

For me, photography isn’t just about taking pictures – it’s about capturing the magic of the moment and creating lasting memories. Whether it's a spontaneous candid shot or a beautifully posed portrait, my photos are all about fun, authenticity, and heart. So, let’s make some memories together!

Photography is more than just a profession for me; it's a passion that brings joy to my heart and a smile to my face. With over 15 years of experience in event planning, marketing, and communications, I've always had a knack for blending creativity with exceptional attention to detail. But it's through photography that I've truly found my calling.

One of the aspects I love most about photography is the opportunity to work with families and children. Capturing genuine smiles and laughter is incredibly rewarding. There's something magical about freezing a moment in time, especially when it’s filled with joy and love. Whether it's a child's playful grin or a family's warm embrace, these moments are precious, and being able to preserve them is a privilege.

My background in event planning has given me a unique perspective when it comes to photography. I understand the importance of capturing the essence of an event – the excitement, the emotions, and the interactions that make it special. I love being a part of these celebrations, enjoying the day alongside my clients, and ensuring that every significant moment is captured beautifully.

Building relationships is another reason why I enjoy photography. Every photoshoot is an opportunity to connect with new people, hear their stories, and share in their happiness. These connections often extend beyond a single session, leading to lasting relationships. Seeing familiar faces return for more photo sessions is one of the most gratifying aspects of my job.

For me, photography is about more than just taking pictures. It's about capturing a moment in time, creating lasting memories, and celebrating the beauty of everyday life. It's about making people feel comfortable and happy, allowing their true selves to shine through in every shot.

So, whether it's a family portrait, an event, or a candid moment, I pour my heart into every click of the shutter. Photography allows me to blend my love for planning, my joy in working with people, and my passion for capturing life's most beautiful moments. And that’s why I love what I do.
