Building long term relationships is our top priority. We listen to the clients' needs and work to achieve the project goals; all on deadline and within budget. We can manage the whole project, from concept to completion, or we can handle whichever parts of the process you are currently lacking.

Our post-production staff know how to optimize your files, so that the content we deliver is vibrant, clean, consistent, and ready to post. The New West team is fast, and our rates are very competitive.


Jess Kugler   Photographer/Owner...

Jess has been wrangling pixels since the dawn of digital photography. His technical prowess is second only to his creative vision. Jess was born into a family of artists and discovered his passion for photography at an early age. His father gave him his first camera when he was 8 years old, and by the fifth grade he was already making his own prints in the darkroom. 

After earning his degree from RIT's acclaimed School of Photographic Arts and Sciences, Jess started his career at studios in Philadelphia and New York. Since 2000, he has managed a team of photographers, retouchers, and designers in Colorado.  

Jess has always believed in making (not taking) great photographs, and is adept at manipulating environments, cameras, lights, models, props and pixels to achieve the desired final image. Jess also enjoys conquering some single track or hitting the slopes, and cooling off with a cold craft beer afterwards.
