Photographer & Artist

Hello, my name is Jesse Yeakle and I‘m a photographer, videographer, and artist living in Minnesota. In 2018, I came back from being overseas with the military, where I was trained to work on explosives, and such. After being back from my travels and taking pictures as a joyful hobby, I went to University for Film and graduated in 2021. Then, working in Social Media Agencies, Marketing departments, and communications, and absolutely hating it, in January 2025, I quit the 9-5 job to start my own creative business. I love it! Why didn’t I do this sooner?! Call it naive. Yes – but worth it. My plan is to continue to create for other’s as well as myself. We all know that feeling, “when the stars align”. It feels like all the doors are open to me and I need to see what’s behind each one! On this website I share my passion and work as well as the products that I create.

Currently freelancing for lifestyle brands and products, motor vehicles, documentary, portraiture, and award-winning publications. And of course, making and selling photography prints!
