About.

Jessica Welton -

Owner/Jack of all trades

Hi, I’m Jessica Welton, and I launched Welton Media in 2022 with a clear mission: to provide high-quality real estate photography and media that help West Michigan agents stand out.

Today, I’m proud to be a trusted partner for agents who understand that professional marketing doesn’t just attract more buyers—it also reflects their dedication to their clients. Quality comes before everything else, and with so many listings competing for attention, it’s easy to recognize a Welton Media shoot when the property is on full display.

Welton Media will never be a photo mill or a large, impersonal company and that’s intentional. Staying small allows me to protect the quality, consistency, and personal service my clients have come to expect. In addition to photographing properties myself, I work with a small group of trusted contract photographers who help Welton Media serve clients throughout West Michigan while maintaining the quality and consistency associated with our brand.

Not every agent invests in eye-catching visuals, but the ones who do elevate both their listings and their professional reputation- something that matters in today’s competitive market. Every photo and video I deliver is thoughtfully captured using a blend of natural and controlled light, professionally edited, and held to a consistent standard.

From vacant land to million-dollar estates, I’ve photographed a wide variety of properties throughout West Michigan. That experience has helped me build a versatile portfolio and confidently approach each home with the care and attention it deserves.

My favorite room to photograph is, without a doubt, the kitchen, but whenever I encounter a dark, moody bar, I can’t help snapping a few extra photos for myself. I also love old houses.

Outside of real estate media, I create stained-glass suncatchers, lamps, and ornaments through Blondie Glassworks, my latest creative venture based in a backyard studio. I also spend plenty of time caring for my 14-year-old dog and traveling with my husband whenever we get the chance.

Nikki Coughlin -

Contract Photographer

Nikki has been a photographer for 7 years, specializing in portrait photography, where she’s built a reputation for creating meaningful images and helping people feel comfortable in front of the camera. She’s now bringing that same creativity and eye for detail into the world of real estate photography.

When I asked what her favorite room to photograph is, her answer told me everything I needed to know:“The living room. It’s where families gather, memories are made, and a house truly feels like a home. I love capturing that warm, inviting feeling that helps buyers picture themselves living there.”

Three words that describe Nikki?

🤍 Patient

🤍 Caring

🤍 Kind

When she’s not behind the camera, she’s spending time with her husband and four kids, working around their farm, horseback riding, or enjoying the outdoors with their animals.

In addition to real estate photography, Nikki also continues to offer portrait and personal branding photography, bringing years of experience helping people look and feel their best in front of the camera. I’m incredibly grateful to have her on the team, and I can’t wait for many of you to meet her in person.

Zach Elmblad -

Contract Photographer/Videographer/Drone Pilot

Zach has been a multimedia wizard and working artist since the late 1990s, when an early fascination with computers, analog recording technology, and the music industry first set his creative career in motion. He later found his niche in architectural and real estate photography and, since 2016, has photographed more than 12,000 homes. Zach graduated with honors from KVCC’s Center for New Media in 2014 with a degree in Time-Based Media. He is also a five-time published author, an award-winning documentary filmmaker, and the drummer for The Konrad Twitty Band. In his spare time, he can usually be found cleaning up after his cat, Rand al’Thor, or fixing his vintage motorcycle.

Zach’s favorite features to photograph are secret rooms and wine cellars, and he has a particular appreciation for Norman Carver homes in Oshtemo’s Twelve Oaks neighborhood and mid-century modern architecture. He’s a Michigan boy for life, hatched in the forest with a Vernors in hand.

Fun fact: Zach photographed the house pictured here three different times, for three different Realtors, across three different seasons. Talk about a unique (!) client! And they were happy with all three photo albums! Probably just appreciated the friendly service.

Zach is hitting the ground running and you’ll most likely be blessed by his presence if you book a shoot in the Kalamazoo County and greater Kzoo areas!
