About Me

My name is Jeff and I'm a self-taught photographer based in Chicago. I developed a passion for photography after discovering my grandfather's old 35mm Nikon buried in my basement over a decade ago. Today I shoot in both film and digital to provide my clients with exceptional artistic images for any occasion.

I've included a few client comments below for good measure. Prices are available upon request. I want to personally thank you for visiting my website!

Jeff is a truly gifted photographer. He is able to capture emotions and special moments with clarity and depth. Jeff's energy and innovative style make him a rare and emerging talent.
-Maggie & DJ Stewart, 2009

Jeff went above and beyond my expectations with travel to several locations when he shot pictures of me and my cousin. He presented me with so many quality images that it was hard to choose those to print. Not only was his raw work outstanding, but his digital work on the images really enhanced the final product. Also, I have to say, his printer produced fantastic prints with crisp, exquisite colors on thick paper.
-Kelly Conolly, 2008

Both my husband and I loved our experience with J-Harley Photography! Jeff immediately put us at ease, and he came prepared with a detailed, focus plan for our shoot. We spent a fun afternoon shooting at gorgeous locations. Jeff had a way of capturing the emotion between my fiance and me, showing our playful, romantic side, without anything staged or artificial. I was impressed by both the high artistic quality as well as Jeff's professional delivery. The pictures that Jeff took are the only photos hanging in our house.
