WHAT IS A CERTIFIED BOUTIQUE PHOTOGRAPHER?
A CBP Certified Boutique Photographer™ is a professional photographer who has passed the rigorous testing and qualification process to be among the best of all boutique portrait photographers in the world.
Unlike other certifications,, the CBP Certified Boutique Photographer™ goes beyond measuring their knowledge of the craft of photography. The CBP Certified Boutique Photographer™ is a thorough evaluation of your business practices, client experience, and marketing. It distinguishes those photographers who have invested in themselves and provide a superior client experience from those who are merely passionate about photography.
ABOUT JACKIE HIRD
I’m excited to share some news—I've officially earned the title of Certified Boutique Photographer from the Photography Business Institute! It’s a big honor (held by fewer than 50 photographers worldwide), but more importantly, it’s a reflection of how I’ve always chosen to work: with care, intention, and a focus on giving each client a truly personal experience.
This certification isn’t just a badge—it means I meet high professional standards that ensure you’ll receive not only beautiful images, but also the kind of service that takes the stress out of planning and celebrates what makes your family unique. From our first chat to the moment your artwork is hanging on your wall, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
Because this isn’t just about photography—it’s about telling your story and making sure your children grow up surrounded by images that remind them how loved they are.
GIVING BACK
Charitable giving is woven into the certification process, and I truly love that. Growing up, I was taught the importance of giving—whether it’s time, money, or simply showing up for others. When I restructured my business in 2020, I realized I had an opportunity to give my work even more purpose. Since 2021, I’ve been able to donate over $12,000 to local organizations through my portrait photography. It’s such a gift to know that while I’m helping families create a legacy through their images, I’m also building a legacy of my own right here in the community that helped shape me.
