{Gabe McClintock} of Perspective Eye Photography is a observer, a photographer, a dreamer, a traveler, a Canadian. He is a husband and most importantly he is a Dad. Because of this, Jackson’s Smile resonates deep within Gabe’s heart. His images capture the deep beauty and wild drama that this world and its people have to offer.

{Amelia + Justin Lyon} are some of the sweetest hip-est wedding and portrait photographers in all of Southern California. Wikipedia it; It’s a fact! Or… just take my word for it. ;)

Amelia has donated some beautiful images compiled of branches, leaves and sunlight. Images with so much serotonin they can put anyone in a good mood. Imagine waking every morning to a 20x30 bright and sunny canvas hanging on your wall of one of her tree-scapes… (close your eyes, imagine it) and then buy one! I’m positive the purchase will be life changing.

Justin has offered up some of his most excellent shots taken while traveling the country on his legendary Mammoth Men man-cations. These images capture the gritty backroads and allyways of America’s urban terrain through the adventurous spirit of Justin’s lens. His images should inspire you to get outside, pick up a camera, ride a bike or hop on a bus and explore your world.

{Lisa Lefkowitz} is a brilliant film photographer hailing from the San Francisco Bay. She has been photographing weddings for the past nine years and has earned national recognition for her luminous, lifestyle images. Lisa’s fresh, elegant photographs are featured regularly in magazines such as Martha Stewart, Elegant Bride, Bride’s and now on Jackson’s Smile! She has donated some beautiful city and landscapes; all taken with her holga film camera.

Sarah Rhoads {Featured Artist -Jackson's Smile}

So excited to introduce a couple of amazing photographers to Jackson’s Smile. Both of these artists have donated their beautiful images to raise support for baby Jackson who was born to one of my wedding couples with a cleft lip, palette and thus heaps of medical bills. Please check out Jackson’s Smile and buy a print to give the gift of smile.

{Sarah Rhoads} is a Seattle based wedding and lifestyle photographer that captures emotion and beauty in such a way that just makes the viewer immediately feel love and joy. Her husband Chris shoots with her when he isn’t recording music as a session bass player. They are perhaps one of the raddest artistic couples in all of the great northwest! If I didn’t think they were perfect for Seattle I would selfishly want them to live in California; closer to me. ;)






I am especially fond of this image because those are the words of a Ray Lamontagne song that my wife walked down the aisle too. We have this print proudly displayed in our home! I gave to my wife on our 2 year anniversary and she cried… well, almost.







*A portion of the proceeds will go directly to support more kids like Jackson at the Craniofacial Center at the {Children’s Medical Center Foundation of Central Texas}.
