ABOUT JS PHOTOGRAPHY - JEFF & SABRINA WILLIAMS

OK, so you want an explaination about the picture to the left. Sometimes a family portrait session doesn't go exactly as planned. Out of all the family photos we made this is our favorite for 2012. Sabrina wanted just me and the boys on the website so she stayed behind the camera on this shoot.

Owners Jeff and Sabrina Williams have been photographing weddings, portraits and commercial photography since 1996. After graduating from the University of Florida with a Master of Fine Arts degree in photography Jeff and Sabrina decided to open their own commercial photography business, JS Photography.
