J.Pace Photography Photographer from Oakland, CA

I am photographer and Photography has helped me on so many different levels, it's helped me to love myself, get myself out of my comfort zone and to find something that I truly love and am passionate about, something I want to take seriously, something that I want to do for a living. Photography has also helped me realize my other passion such as portraits, fashion, beauty, glam and especially boudoir and pinup. I wish to help all women and men (if they are daring enough to get in front of camera) to learn to celebrate themselves and their unique beauty. I do see myself as a photographer but I see myself first and foremost as an artist and creative force. I have a love of Marilyn Monroe and old Hollywood glam. I want to help transform my future clients mainly women in all aspects, as well as my self. I want to build my confidence and help other people build theirs. I believe you can own your world if you live fearlessly, think audaciously and act spontaneously. I don't think wearing makeup and having your hair done is necessary to make a woman beautiful, however it is a ton of fun. We all know to look great is to feel great and I believe every woman and man should have the opportunity to feel that way about themselves. I wish to feel that way and live by example. I want clients to be excited for their session because I want them to realize not only are these kind of shoots a great gift to give to that special someone but also it can be a gift for themselves. They realize for the first time that they are sexy – and may have never thought of themselves in that way before. Not only will this experience transform the way they see themselves, but together we will create timeless and original pieces of art that they will love and enjoy. My focus is portraits, fashion, beauty, glam and especially boudoir and pinup. I love having a camera in my hand and being a part of something so if you have an event, a wedding, engagement, a product, or just need a photographer don't be afraid to ask me to help you out. “If I'd observed all the rules I'd never have gotten anywhere.” -Marilyn Monroe
