Timeless Portraits Crafted With Light, Story, and Heart

I’m JB Lee — a third-generation photographer, storyteller, and lifelong student of light. My work blends classic portrait craftsmanship with a warm, film-inspired aesthetic that makes every image feel natural, honest, and emotionally true.

For more than 30 years, I’ve photographed people, families, weddings, seniors, and the natural world with a simple philosophy:

Photographs should feel the way moments felt — warm, real, and unforgettable.

I use a mix of sculpted natural light, cinematic tones, and gentle guidance to create portraits that capture personality, connection, and story. Whether we’re shooting in the Sierra foothills, a quiet forest, your favorite place, or in beautiful California light, your session will be relaxed, fun, and focused on bringing out the real you.

Every final image is edited with my signature filmic style — warm highlights, soft shadows, true skin tones, and refined detail — so your portraits look timeless today and decades from now.

If you want images that feel personal, handcrafted, and alive… you’re in the right place.

Let’s create something unforgettable together.
