JL Dearman Photography bio picture
  • A Little About Me

    Hi, how ya doin’? My name is Jack and you have found the right photographer to capture your special occasion. I promise you will be more than satisfied and have a great time to boot! My goal is to give you images that will invoke a feeling within you. I always remember how something or someone made me feel long after I’ve forgotten all the details. The creative side of me let’s me see an image in my minds eye before I take it and the Virgo part of me assures you that I have taken every step possible to provide you with a high quality product.

    I’m located in historical Salisbury, NC and just love the rich southern history this area offers. The choices are endless for location portrait sessions. My passion is senior pictures, wedding photography and family portraits. I’ve been involved in some type of racing before I could legally drive, so you’ll see a lot of pictures of races on here too. By choosing JL Dearman Photography, you will be guaranteed a session you will remember.

     

     

     

     

  • When choosing JL Dearman Photography, you not only get exactly what you want and have seen examples or picked yours out from a catalog before the wedding. By not setting a package price your photographer can switch things around a little – perhaps by letting my photography assistant go home a little early during the reception and then give you back the difference on an upgrade. Package pricing is NOT designed for most clients! Prepare for at least a few extra meetings with your photographer the closer you get to the date. There are many things JL Dearman Photography will do for you that other photographers don’t think of or just don’t know to do. Just fill out the information request above and I will get back to you within 24 hours. Read about what JL Dearman Photography will do for you during the wedding in my posts under the category "A Wedding Guide for the Bride."

Your Getting Married So where do we start?

OMG now what!! That would be the reaction of most brides. The first thoughts might be we need invitations, we need…..we need….and so the list goes on. This would apply to the smallest wedding where Mom coordinates the show to weddings that have several planners to do every ones thinking…….

Best of 2009 Drag Racing Shots

Todd Howard's JW Motorsports Ford Probe

I want to share a few of my favorite shots from this past season at Mooresville Dragway. I am intrigued with pictures that tell a story and start you thinking about what the photographer is trying to tell you through the picture. I always try to include something into a shot that will hold the viewers attention. In the shot below, Chris Rini and his crew chief go through this ritual before every run. This shot reminds me of a matador teasing the bull. They are in the arena with the spectators watching the dialog unfold to see who will be the final victor. I especially like the way his crew chief is posed with his hands on his hips and tapping his foot impatiently.

I met this fellow a couple of months ago. He stands 6′ 9″ tall so I couldn’t help but notice him. A short ways into our conversation I popped the dumb question “You play basketball?” DUH !! I asked him his name – “Bama. I was thinkin’ it fits ’cause he would do a good...

Sophie in the Studio

Today Andy and Licy brought little Sophie up from Charlotte for another photo session. She sure is growing up fast. It’s been 9 months since I took her newborn photos and it seems like yesterday! I thought I’d try a little something different today switching to a high-key backdrop. Here’s a couple of my favorites...
