Photography
I am available to hire in and around the Bay Area for all sorts of photography, including event photography, engagement/wedding photography, family portraits, and small business marketing photoshoots.
I especially love capturing special milestones for queer people and their beloveds!
With over a decade of experience behind the lens, I feel well-equipped to coax out moments of true comfort and confidence from even the most camera-shy of clients.
The most recent examples of my work are on Instagram @jaqcieslak.photography, and a fuller portfolio is available here.
Sample rates & terms
These are some examples to show what I offer for different types of bookings at different rates. Please note that I always offer discounted rates for QTBIPOC clients and that I am always open to trades. Some things I would currently love to trade for photography: tattoos, haircuts, ceramics, clothing, art of all kinds!
