About Me:
Hey there, I’m Jay. The man behind the lens of Bluejayink.
I am a stay at home dad with a marketing degree.
I fell in love with photography growing up and took every photography class I could while I was in school. I have been doing professional photography for the past 10 years. My goal is to make photography available and affordable to everyone. I love lifestyle photography, capturing those candid moments and memories. Those unexpected, unposed moments are my favorite to capture. Now booking in Abilene, Texas and surrounding areas.

One of the most beautiful churches I have ever had the privilege to photograph a wedding in! I love Christmas weddings, they’re always so beautiful 📸🎄⛪️

Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you who is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger. Glory to God in the highest! Merry Christmas everyone!

Part 2 of Conner’s senior session, because a motorcycle session is always fun for me. And because he let his mom ride on the back 🤩

Cruising thru the weekend like Conner on his motorcycle in these senior pictures. Wish my senior pictures were this cool 😎

Time to eat cake and party, it’s the weekend!

Ps- this was about 6 mos ago… can’t believe Cora is already 18 los + old. She’s growing up fast.
We’ve been photographing her since before she was born!

Beautiful sunshine and flowers are perfect for a family session!

Because first birthdays are a time to celebrate 🎉

A fun extended family session! Photographer win, when everyone looks at the camera 📸

Morning smiles. Because who can look at this cutie pie and not smile 🥰
Happy Tuesday ya’ll.

Senior sessions are one of my favorite. So fun to celebrate the people they have become and the accomplishments!

A June wedding. The one where Alyce gets married!
One of my dearest friends got married, of course I had to take her pictures.

Big Announcement:
No we didn’t have a baby.

First off, Sorry Blue Jay Ink has been missing in action for a while… we had a busy summer of photo shoots from some of our favorite clients. Updated posts to follow.

At the end of summer, we made a cross country move!!!
Blue Jay ink. is now located in Abilene, TX.

This is a picture I did this summer.
And since my wife is a midwife and we moved for her job. I thought it was a great new beginnings picture.

Anyway….

Now that we are settled, we are accepting new clients in Abilene, TX. Message us for our new location specials!

We plan to be back to visit Central IL next summer and will keep the page posted, in case any of our previous clients want to sneak in a session. We will miss watching our families grow and would love to catch up.

These warmer springlike temperatures got me like… 📸let’s get ready to photograph!!! 📸😁🍀💐🦋
Photo season is about to heat up… get your session booked today!!! 📸🌷☀️🕶
🍂🍁

Finally posting these from an amazing wedding last year. When your bride says I want 20s you say “Great, Gatsby!” 😂😂😂😂 This ‘20s themed was so fun!!

Denise Shaw and Steve, after rescheduling and waiting an entire year I am so happy to have been apart of your beautiful and amazing day!

I love fall sessions! Thanks Gaydos family.

The Wedding
