My mom was an avid book reader, she could read 3-4 books a week. From her I learned to love reading. I spent my summers on Cape Cod and watched Jacques Cousteau and fell in love with the ocean-became a marine biologist. I have always loved the beach, hiking, being on the water, or outdoors. Always love a good story, better yet a great story. My dad could spin a yarn better than most. Combining these influences with my many many travels, I am spinning a few yarns myself. Coupled with my photography of God’s beauty, I hope you enjoy both my photography and my writing.

I am working on a fiction book that’s expected to be out in early 2018; sign up for my blog and I’ll keep you updated. In the meantime, you can also go to my photography website (http://www.jaschmidtphotos.com) to see the images I’ve managed to capture over the past 30 years.
