I am Jamie Delaney, portrait photographer in Manhattan, Kansas!

  • I am also a Jesus follower, Wife, Mom and Marriage Cheerleader.
  • My husband, Cody, and I met because of a photograph I took at a concert. My Dad likes to joke that I stalked Cody. I like to believe God had us planned all along.
  • On my free Saturday mornings you can find me at garage sales. Saturday nights I’m playing a board game with family and friends.
  • At any given time I am reading 3-5 books. (My love for learning started after college. Whoops!)
  • I admit, between the homemade laundry detergent, organic produce and grass fed beef, natural living is important to me. (Let me know if you would like some of my water kefir grains!)
  • I enjoy fishing, but refuse to touch the fish. (What can I say, I’m a suburban girl who married a country boy!)
  • I believe a woman’s beauty is defined by her character.
  • Hand-written notes never go out of style. (Thank you, Great Grandma, for teaching me this lesson.)
  • I desire starry nights over city lights.
  • Buying Christmas gifts in July is a-okay in my book. (Gift giving is my love language.)
  • I believe a personal walk with God is the key to a healthy marriage.

 

My Photography Journey:

I graduated college with a Business Leadership degree with a plan to work at a University. During my season of counseling students on degree and career choices, I purchased my first “big kid” camera. It was then my fine arts background (dance lessons, cheerleading, and show choir!), and love of business, combined to created Jamie K! Photography. In a short time I was able to quit my ‘day job’ and became a full time, professional photographer. My life saw many changes in that season, including my very own wedding. With a new last time, it felt only right to rebrand as me, Jamie Delaney.

It has been many years since I began on this adventure, but I continue to be truly in awe of the people I get to work with…Teachers, Mothers, Doctors, Brides, Engineers, Children, Artists, Babies, Doulas, Midwives…
