Jeff Mayne

As an avid outdoorsman, Jeff has always loved the fresh air and rolling country sides. The breathtaking views from a tree stand 20 feet above ground. Soaring eagles and animals trusting their instincts as they slowly enter his sight. Jeff takes all of this in, breathing deeply…and feels like he is home. His camera is like his lifeline; he is not whole without it. He becomes one with the camera, taking it all in, with the hopes of "capturing a memory, one frame at a time." Jeff has loved photography from as far back as he can remember, sometimes using it as an escape, while other times using it to express himself. Being born in a small town with not much to do, he was driven to express himself through music and art.
Jeff believes his greatest talents are his ability to mix with all different personalities and to get nervous subjects to relax in front of his camera. He can handle any technical difficulty you could throw at him. He once heard that a photographer’s job description is “problem solver”. He would have to agree with that. This has led him to his current life with a never ending passion for great photography, music and art…that along with the love for has beautiful and talented wife Jackie, their five wonderful children, Tait–19, Austin -18, Adrianna-17, Autumn-13 and Aidan-12 and of course their four other children, Max, their Hungarian Vizsla, Mickey their German Shorthair, Yiago, their Long Haired Chihuahua and LACIE who is a Teacup Chihuahua and Jeff’s best friend.
