“Having your photo taken should be an experience that is fun, easy, and what you want.”
Hi, I’m Jen
Most days you’ll find me watering house plants, filling my bird feeder, crafting with my kids, or watching Shark Tank with my husband. My IG stories usually consist of good food, memes, and whatever instrument or dance moves my kids are into that week.
I love taking photos. You wanna know what I don’t love? Having my photo taken. Maybe you can relate? Because of my love of being behind the camera and my discomfort being in front of it, I’ve made it my passion to make sure every person in front of my camera feels their absolute best. I’m not above throwing out some Andy Dwyer slapstick or some dad jokes to break the ice. Those smiles you see in the photos on this page? Yeah, they’re from clients that feel comfortable, relaxed, and dare I say enjoying their time! I absolutely LOVE spending time out on a shoot with you! I come back to my minivan so filled up and ecstatic that I get to do this thing for a living.
First things first. I promise never to make you stand out in a field and tell you to “act natural.” I never feel natural in front of a camera; maybe you don’t either. That’s OK! My favorite part of our time together is creating connections, making things fun and relaxing, and coaching you through the whole thing. Seriously, I expect you to show up and enjoy yourselves, I got ya covered. You don’t even have to worry about trying to get the kids to smile, I got that, too. I love candids that capture authentic moments, but I also work hard to make sure those candids are created in a space where you feel comfortable and don’t have to ask “What do I do with my hands?” I do things a little differently to make sure the experience is as valuable as your photographs.
