About Me


..
TailWind Imaging is a photographic services company owned and operated by Jamie Taylor and Jackie Litwin. We are based out of Merrill, Wisc. but available for shooting assignments throughout the upper Midwest. We specialize in Portraits, weddings, event photography, photojournalism, public relations, sports and ESPECIALLY photographing musicians in the act of making music.A few samples of our work is in the "pics" area.Contact us at [email protected] to inquire as to our services or to request rate information. Our portfolio website is at http://tradewindimaging.photoreflect.com.Thank you for considering us for your photographic needs.NOTE: I have been doing this for 32-plus years! I do NOT need "exposure" or the satisfaction of seeing my work credited online. What I want, is to be respected as the professional I am and paid for my work. My rates are reasonable and I am willing to negotiate to some extent. But FREE is not even on the table. What I bring is my skills and experience to make you look the best I possibly can. If you are a band hiring me, you also get my experience in the field of journalism and my eye for what editors are looking for in an image that rises above the rest on his or her desk and makes it into print.
