Meet the Crew
Your local edgy, silly, photo obsessed besties. At your service.
The artist behind the lens
Nice to meet ya! I go by Jas (they/them)! I’m a non-binary photographer, creative director, pet parent, library card holder, Nintendo switch gamer, snowboarder, and reality show binger. I’ve always been a huge cheerleader for a good love/hero story, and if it defies all of society’s expectations, even better!
It’s been over a decade of documenting, and I’m still beaming at every new connection, confidence boost, and memory captured. My Leo sun wants you to bask in that spotlight, please!
What else? One time, as I feared for my life in the middle of the desert, I whispered to my partner, “What if we die, and I can’t get these clients their photos?” After an annoyed chuckle, she told me I was born for this. I think so too.
Now, let’s be queer…
Jas K Productions has always been a reflection of who I am. And that is a queer Vietnamese-Ecuadorian person from the South. I know what it’s like to feel rejected and undesirable. I know what it’s like to look in the mirror and think you’ll never feel right in your skin. And now I know what’s it like to find healing in photography.
I’m on a journey to spread radical self love and tell powerful untold stories. I hope yours will be next!

The Squad
-
Lauren (she/her)
ASSOCIATE PHOTO + VIDEO
Lauren is a creative and multi-talented photographer, trailblazing what it means to be an inclusive wedding photographer. Her authentic positivity is as admirable as her shuffling skills on the dance floor.
-
Ayla (she/her)
SECOND SHOOTER + PORTRAITS
Ayla embodies all the best traits of an Aquarius. Her eccentric charm will rub off on you as she boosts your confidence to bring out the bad bitch you are! But don’t get it twisted, she’d love nothing more than to do a cozy shoot with your corgi.
-
Samantha (she/her)
PRODUCTION ASSISTANT
Samantha is the life of the party and will quickly make friends with your mom if you need a beat. Her attention to detail and passion for people create a stable force in our production team. A quick way to her heart: spill the tea, hunty!
“I am not sure mere words can express how perfectly Jas and their team captured the day…”
Carrie Stier (she/her)
Friendly, competent, inclusive, and stunning images. I love working with Jas!

Features We Love
Reflecting On Growth In 2023// Bould Journey
As I meet and work more with the community, I feel better equipped to provide the best curated photo experiences– the kind that heal your inner child. This year I focused on growing my skills with inclusive posing, diverse editing, fashion and editorial projects, and creative direction. I’m looking forward to learning more about producing larger commercial photoshoots!
Mary & Richard Pham//Jas K Productions on Zola
“It’s hard to describe the happiness you feel on your wedding day but somehow Jas K Productions was able to capture it in way that was absolutely beautiful and magical. Beyond the amazing photos and video, they are great to work with. Everything was professional, friendly, and straightforward.”
Meet Jas Kitterman// Voyage Denver
“My work often reflects my own identity as a queer person of color. I aim to showcase diversity and celebrate equality through an artistic lens. Most weekends, I’m photographing a wedding and on weekdays I’m shooting branding and editorial sessions. I love to blend my two passions for creative portraits and unique stories. I’m grateful that I often work with people in the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities to showcase underrepresented communities.”
Take Gender Of The Menu// AHP Indie Stylist
“The idea of community is an essential part of life. If we put ourselves in a situation where we feel supported by those around us, we’re immediately more at ease.”
Inclusive Artist: Jas Kitterman// Canvas Rebel
“It’s ok for you to have your own style, to set your own boundaries, and to take life at your own pace. The right people will value your time and work, and most importantly show respect to your craft.
I used to be so afraid and sought everyone’s approval but unlearning that narrative has only elevated my life and artistry. I lead with my heart and intertwine that into my business whenever I can.”
Let’s have a kiki!
My team and I are stoked to bring your vision to life. We’re happy to answer any questions and brainstorm how we can slay your next shoot!
