Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
Welcome to Raw Mxd Media, a female owned 5 star photography/videography company located in the PNW near the greater Portland/Vancouver area. Raw Mxd Media offers two professional published photographers, male & female (allowing for different perspectives) for photo and video projects & are fully invested in making our clients feel confident, strong, important and valued, we make sure our clients leave happy and feeling their best which truly separates us from the rest along with our dedication to our clients. We have a strong commitment to getting the shots you want! Raw Mxd Media doesn't limit skills to one style of photography, being capable of shooting many different styles and genres but specializing in startup companies/businesses, building portfolios, commercial and abstract work.
From the photos that required several steps and chemical baths to the instant images from pocketable iPhone and Android smartphones to powerful hdr cameras, the process behind the photograph has changed. But while the process has changed, the factors that make beautiful photography have not. Emotions are as much an essential element of photographs as composition so, we make sure to put feeling behind everything shot from behind our lens. Most people believe that Professional Photography is out of their reach when it comes to affordability but we strive to make it affordable.
Our Story
Hello! my name is Jade I was born in Sacramento CA & raised in the outskirts of South Lake Tahoe. I am a mix of all things co-disciplinary: a storyteller, photographer, Film maker, designer, model, artist, director, creative producer, editor and a girl with a slight obsession with creating. I’m passionate about creating experiences that bring attention to the mystery, wonder, and beauty of the in-betweens. I put my craft above everything else, when it comes to my work, I believe the best photos and videos portray and provoke feeling through them and tell a story.
I got into the life behind the lens when I was 12. I wanted a camera so badly being raised by two artists and having a grandfather who filmed for MGM (filming masterpieces such as the wizard of oz in his 20's.) and my uncle who creates documentaries in Sedona AZ being featured in The Sun Dance Film Festival and filming documentaries for Gaia and much more. I was given my first camera by someone who was very close to my heart who I tragically lost recently which only pushed me harder to do never stop creating. I have been developing my skills ever since. I worked on set with my first film experience called Finding Compas when I was 14 in San Francisco CA. I was published in my first magazine for photo work in 2019 and have been proudly published in five more since.
What most excites me about being a photographer and videographer is being able to see clients see their true beauty as I do through my eyes and to be able to create/capture memories clients have as they are made and then will live on, to be held onto & cherished forever. These moments captured are priceless and can be shared with family for lifetimes and generations to come.
What I have learned in my years on this planet is how important certain moments are and how you cannot get them back which makes my job that much more important and special to me. I believe strongly in my core values; reliability, dependability, loyalty, honesty, commitment, consistency, and efficiency which I reflect in this business.
Okay, enough about me! message us today and let me know about you & the special moments you need captured <3
As always, we look forward to hearing from you.
Hi! my name is John. I help manage Raw Mxd Media and assist Jade on her many photoshoots and other projects, so you'll typically see me by her side assisting her with a photoshoot or as a second shooter. Even though I wasn't born in the United States, I was raised and spent most of my life in Portland, Oregon. I am a skilled professional digital editor and my photographic and videographic content has been published in multiple publications and mediums.
I met Jade a few years back and started working for Raw Mxd Media in 2019. I got much more serious about shooting weddings when I saw the happiness it brought out of people during and after their events. Teaming up with Jade and working for Raw Mxd Media has been the best decision of my life. I love Jade's brand of photography and videography. She is a very talented individual and has been a total inspiration to me. I've seen Jade accomplish anything when she sets her mind to it and I have truly learned lots of things from her regarding photography, videography, and in the management and operations of her business. Our dynamic has made us a very strong, effective, dedicated, and balanced team.
