Community Partners: Why do we give away our portraits?

During their 20s and 30’s, J. Oates owners, Jerry and Jennifer, worked full-time for an international relief organization, so when they started out in the portrait business, they made a decision to center their studio around charitable and non-profit giving. It’s our “company culture” to care about our community and want to give back to our incredible Treasure Valley!

Our yearly goal involves donating $75,000 of goods and services to support local charities.

We want to help out our amazing local non-profits so they can keep doing what they do best—changing lives!!
