Jacklyn Loves: The great outdoors, traveling, music, family, good friends... and Chris.
Chris Brown
Chris approaches photography with a fresh adventurous spirit and a heart that stays wide open. He is always looking for new experiences and ways to make people feel special and look their best. His compassion was forged over two decades as a radiographer in Level 1 trauma centers across the U.S., bringing out true love and understanding of how vulnerability connects us and makes us all beautiful.
The artist in Chris combines with his love for science, pushing him forward to explore new techniques, angles, and ideas in photography, and his photographs are widely considered to be both trend-setting and timeless. His empathy allows him to stay connected and devoted to creating deeply personal and authentically beautiful work. For Chris, a photograph is like a song that you listen to over and over, evoking memory and new emotions as the years go by.
Chris finds his inspiration through relationships and his love for nature. Traveling with Jacklyn for work and pleasure, he has photographed the most stunning places on earth and spent months in the wilderness of North America, most recently traveling to Katmai in Alaska to photograph brown bears.
Chris loves: Making others feel special, cooking, laughing, getting off the beaten path... and Jacklyn.
