About
Blending "photojournalistic storytelling with romantic, well crafted portraiture plus a bit of photo ninja action" is the best compliment Jai Soots, owner of Love & Photography, has ever received from a bride and groom.
Jai (pronounced "Jay") was captured by the camera at an early age. Her great grandfather made the decision to forgo a career as an engineer to become a photographer, moving his wife and children to Oregon and forming a successful family photography business. Owning a few of her great grandfather's cameras and printing his 5X7" negatives continues to inspire Jai as she enjoys working in the digital age.
Jai attended the Art Institute of Seattle's Commercial Photography program on full scholarship. When she's not behind a camera, you can find her with a make up brush in hand, cooking up farm to table feasts, enjoying local wine and beer, getting lost in a good book, and spending too much time on Pinterest.
Jai's make up artistry and photography have been published in Portland Monthly and Portland Bride and Groom magazines. Her images have also been featured in a local TED talks conference on Portland's fresh food scene.

Jai is the BEST! We have photographed many brides that have used her for their make-up on the day of their wedding. She is an excellent artist with an intuitive ability to find the perfect look to make her clients look not only beautiful but natural. We would not hesitate in the least to give her name to all of our clients as our FIRST CHOICE for a make-up artist!
