Some moments make you stop and take it in. I first met Jesse working a basketball game back in FEB 2022. By JUN that year, he was helping me on a commercial shoot on the beach with tons of gear. Today, Jesse officially becomes the first full-time hire at Matt Pendleton Photography. From building experience across sports, music, and comedy to spending three years touring worldwide with Michael Blaustein, Jesse brings a rare mix of trust, talent, work ethic, and creative perspective to every project. He’ll play a key role in growing our grad photos, headshots, and commercial work, and an even bigger role in where this company is headed. This is the kind of growth you dream about. Proud of how far we’ve come and excited for what’s next. Huge congrats, Jesse. Show him some love jgannphotos
