About me
My name is Jake Moreland and I am a professional photographer and artist based in Downers Grove, IL. I own Two Birds Photography and I've been photographing weddings and couples for about 20 years. Im a sensitive nature guy who loves to talk to trees, pick up rocks, and put my hands in running water. I'm good natured, goofy in my own way, introspective, and intuitive. My sun is Taurus, rising sign is Cancer and I have a Gemini moon. I'm a father to three kids and I have a cat who chose me to be his human. I like to create art, make things with my hands, work with plants in a garden, go on hikes, explore the world, talk one-on-one with people (no small talk!), and I like to laugh. I also own Acorn and Snake and do intuitive readings and energy work.
