Jarett Mutts grew up with a camera in his hands, while pushing the limits of photography, combining art and a passion for dark room editing, digital editing and journalistic photography. Jarett has the patience and people skills to photograph any age, while making his clients feel comfortable and entertained. Although 21 years ago, as a high school student Jarett was well known for quickly jumping in classmates faces to take what he called the perfect sanp shoot.

As a native to South Jersey, Jarett has always found himself to be a leader of the pack, an innovator, and a person dedicated to perseverance and excellence.

Jarett graduated from Cumberland County College with an Associate in Arts degree in Business Administration. He was inducted into numerous honors organizations such as, Phi Theta Kappa (National Junior College Honors Society), Who’s Who Among American Junior College Students and was a founding initiate of Alpha Beta Gamma (National Business Fraternity). Among many other awards, he was also named to the National Dean’s Lists and received the National Collegiate Business Award from the United States Achievement Academy. Jarett also served Cumberland County College with distinction as the Chairperson of the Student Senate, an EOF Para-Professional Peer Counselor, President of the Student Activities Board, and as Duke’s Men’s Basketball Team Captain. Upon graduating, he represented the student body as the Commencement Speaker for the graduating Class of 2003.

Jarett then attended Rutgers University’s School of Business in Camden, NJ on a full academic scholarship, where he continued to be a scholar, mentor, leader and athlete. He was the Men's Basketball Captain, inducted into Cambridge’s Who’s Who Among America’s Top Professionals and Business Executives, and was awarded the Rutgers University’s EOF Program’s highest honor; The William Smith Memorial Fund. In 2006, Jarett graduated from Rutgers University with a Bachelors of Science degree in Business Administration (Marketing and Management concentrations).

As a student, Jarett took his love for entertainment and hosted various comedy shows. He would gather the participaton of classmates who had class projects and front the money to host actual events instead of virtual events and use it for class credits. With a desire to know and understand every aspect of the business he learned from classmates who were studying accounting, graphic design, lawyers, and developed a broad understanding of how to mange various functions of what he at first called 3rd Eye Concepts. 3rd Eye Concepts was all about advertising until he introduced photography, which immediately became 75% of the business.

Jarett offers so much more than just style, charisma, and class. He has made a positive name for himself with a successful education, his personal entrepreneurial ventures and his dedication to his community as a community leader. As a community leader, Jarett has served the community for years as an Executive Board Member for Martin Luther King Outreach and Development for HIV & AIDS Awareness & Research, a youth league athletics coach (basketball, baseball and football) for more than 12 years, as an innovator by providing some of the best entertainment to hit the Southern New Jersey region and working with some of the nations most premier entertainment artisans and industry personalities.
