About PBJ

My name is Jean Martin, photographer and owner of PBJ Photography By Jean LLC. I have lived in the Mechanicsburg - Carlisle area my whole life. I love to read, travel, and of course I love to photograph...just about everything.


I truly believe in small business, my family had a small business in Mechanicsburg PA for decades. I know how hard it is to keep your best face forward. With social media and the internet, it is very important that we keep your business and the faces of your business with positive scroll stopping images. I can help you!! Together we will map out your Branding Session and goals. I'll spend as much time as needed to capture the essence of your business to share on social media and print.


Would you like to update your family portrait? If you like to be outdoors, on the street, in the woods, by a barn, in a tree farm, I can make that happen for you and yours.

Casual or dressed-up? You choose, I'll help you via text, email, zoom or in person. I will go over your wardrobe choices, make suggestions and pull accessories to make your portrait spot on. I think it is extra special when families bring something that they treasure to their session. I can incorporate that treasure whether it is a quilt, game, book, instrument, tea cup, just let me know what you are bringing so I can brain storm before hand.

Digital Files or print, up to you.

The wardrobe consult and the gallery wall consult are included with each FULL session.

“From Katie, Olivia's Mother:
Jean does an amazing job! I'm so glad we chose her to photograph Olivia's senior pictures. She thought of everything from start to finish, including a welcome tray of healthy(but still yummy) treats, a hair and makeup vanity setup, and a gift bag just for Olivia. Highly recommend
Katie”

“Jean was amazing to work with. From the beginning she had excellent communication and really wanted to capture our needs/wants. On picture day, Jean traveled to our home and was incredibly kind. She worked so well with our toddler and our photos of your newborn and our family came out amazing! The process for selecting photos was easy and Jean was quick with returning photos. We would recommend Jean to anyone!”

“Always a pleasure to work with Jean. She has a way of capturing moment/memories/lives in her photos. I've used her for years now and I'm always thrilled with the results!! Recently she photographed our brand new home at Christmas time and I can't say enough how much I absolutely LOVE the pictures. The coffee table book she made for us is something I will cherish forever. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!”

“I found Jean by word of mouth and first used her photography services in Nov. 2021 for a mini session with my whole family. I've never enjoyed getting photos taken, but had such a great experience and the pictures turned out to well! I used her for my daughters Senior pictures in June 2022 and again, the whole experience was fabulous. Next, she did corporate headshots and team photos for my company and they were so spectacular! Needless to say, I'm a fan and I highly recommend.”
