Foundations & Service

The Journey: From High School in 1973 to the NYPD

My name is Jaime Ortiz. I started my passion for photography in 1973 while I was in high school, discovering the magic of capturing moments in time and learning the discipline of the visual medium.

I eventually put my photography on hold for a 20-year career with the New York City Police Department. That service instilled in me a deep commitment to patience, integrity, and making every person feel completely at ease and respected in any setting.

A Second Calling

Pursuing Photography Full Time Across Florida

Now that I am retired from the NYPD, I am pursuing my photography full time. Based in Port St. Lucie, I travel across South and Central Florida, serving clients throughout Port St. Lucie, down to Miami, and up to Orlando.

Whether capturing an emotional proposal on the beach, a generational family reunion, or an executive headshot, I take the time to listen, provide gentle direction, and craft timeless imagery you will treasure for years.

Versatile Craftsmanship

An All-Around Approach to Every Milestone

Rather than limiting my craft to a single niche, I do a little bit of everything: weddings, family portraits, surprise engagements, maternity, boudoir, professional headshots, and corporate events.

Every client and celebration is unique. I prefer talking directly by phone so we can discuss what you are looking to do and create an experience tailored specifically to your expectations.
