Simply Me: A Personality Portrait Experience for Kids Who Are Beautifully, Wonderfully Themselves.
I’m looking for a limited number of children to participate in a special black and white portrait project celebrating the expressions, quirks, giggles and personality that make them unforgettable.

Hi, I'm Jacie Shackelford
Hi, I'm Jacie Shackelford
Owner of Jacie Leigh Studios. I've been photographing luxury fine art heirloom portrait photography for children, families, branding, dancers, high school seniors and teams in Lubbock since 2014.
Do you have a child whose personality fills the room?
Maybe they are silly, serious, dramatic, shy, snuggly, wild, thoughtful or full of faces you never want to forget.
Simply Me is a limited-edition portrait experience designed to celebrate who your child is right now, not perfectly posed, not overly styled, just beautifully and honestly them.
These portraits are created in a simple, timeless black and white style so the focus stays completely on your child’s face, personality and expression.
A select image from each participating child may be considered for inclusion in a private curated Simply Me gallery project.
Participation in the gallery is optional, and your child’s image will never be used without your permission.
Whether or not you choose to have your child considered for the gallery, this is a beautiful opportunity to create meaningful artwork of your child at this age.

Who I'm Looking For
I’m currently looking for a small number of children who:
Have big personality, sweet expressions or a face their family never wants to forget.
Are comfortable being photographed in a simple, playful way.
Have parents who value finished artwork in their home.
Would love to create something timeless, meaningful and different from everyday snapshots.
Are available for a portrait session during this limited project window.
This is a wonderful fit for families who want portraits that feel personal, emotional and classic.

We’ll begin with a brief phone call so I can learn more about your child, answer your questions and make sure the Simply Me experience is the right fit for your family.

Before the portrait session, we’ll meet for a personal planning appointment to talk through your child’s personality, the details you never want to forget and the artwork you may want to create for your home.
This is where we’ll plan clothing, style, expression and the finished pieces that would be most meaningful for your family.
