“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
— Aaron Siskin
I'm Jaime...
And I am the heart behind the camera. I am a loving wife to an Air Force pilot and mother to two beautiful little girls Keira and Alivia. We recently arrived in Abilene, Texas from Germany and are so excited to be apart of a new community. I love coffee, dancing like a fool with my girls, singing the ABC song in the shower at the top of my lungs, middle of the night snuggles, and I am known to binge watch shows like Gilmore Girls and Friends over and over again. Most of all, I love my family and the love we share. The beautiful moments we share make up who I am today, which is the heart and soul of why I love to do what I do.
I have always been a lover of the arts. I danced my entire life, sang in multiple choirs, and I've even been caught on the set of a high school musical, but my true passion creating beautiful artwork that reflected my thoughts and feelings. I first picked up a Canon AE-1 about 10 years ago in a high school photography class. Honestly, I loved working with other mediums like watercolor to fuel my inner creative. It wasn't until I received my first DSLR that my passion for photography really developed. Holding a camera that can capture a special moment in a hundredth of a second is powerful. So I started capturing our own precious, fleeting moments: our first puppy, our first home, announcing our first pregnancy, the first signs of a baby bump, Keira's first breath, her first steps, the moment we met Alivia, sisterhood... All of these moments so very dear to us, and now everlasting because of photography.
In 2013, I launched Jaime Rogl Photography in hopes that I could provide the same for other families. With an abundant amount of love and tremendously hard work, I honed in my what sang to my heart and started specializing in natural light, modern maternity and newborn photography. I obtained my first national and international portrait awards in 2017 and now nationally recognized as one of the leading photographers in our industry. While a large part of Jaime Rogl Photography is focused on our wonderful clients, I continue to strive to be a large part of my community, donating my love for what I do and creating opportunities for non-profit organizations to provide funding towards bettering their reach to the community. Furthermore, I am recognized in many different organizations such as The Gold Hope Project , Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep, The Magic Hour, and Hearts Apart. I, along with multiple other photographers who have joined with JRP, also provide Military Homecoming sessions to our local military families complimentary, as a "Thank You" for the tremendous amount of sacrifice families go through for our great country.
My promise to you is that I will capture the essence of your family's moments so that they may be everlasting to you, as well. I strive to capture the love, the laughter, the happiness, and the strength that your family possesses. My passion is driven by the beautiful moments in life.
