When people ask me how long I have been a photographer, my answer is "I have always been a photographer." From a little girl, I have always seen the world through the eye of a viewfinder. My Dad was a photographer, so cameras were always around me growing up, and I learned from the best. The magic of the camera never ceases to amaze me—how it captures moments in time, light, and feelings. It's a powerful tool, and I am grateful to witness so many of these human connections.
I may not be that little girl anymore, but I approach my wedding and portraits with the same excitement and wonder as I did back then.
Some things you should know about me. I will probably cry at your wedding. I cry at all of them. I will make all sorts of OOOH’s and AHHHH’s (only when appropriate of course) behind the camera. What can I say – I LOVE MY JOB AND IT’S MY PASSION.
I am a Dog Mom to Ollie the sweetest rescue ever. When I am not working a wedding you'll find me running or lifting at the gym. Weddings are an endurance sport, so training is important.

“CALM, COOL & CREATIVE are just some of the first things I think of working with Jen on our engagement shoot and wedding celebration. She was able to capture me and my now husband in the best light possible when we were being camera-shy.”
WORD ON THE STREET
The heart of photography is not captured in a camera's mechanics or the lens's precision but in the deeper act of seeing and feeling. At its core, photography is about interpreting the world through a unique lens—literally and metaphorically. It's an art form that melds technical skills with a profound sense of observation and emotion. It expertly combines technical skills with a profound sense of observation and emotion.
Mastering exposure, composition, and lighting is crucial, but it is the vision and intent behind the lens that truly makes photography compelling. It involves capturing moments that might otherwise go unnoticed, evoking feelings, telling stories, and capturing universal experiences. Photography is a powerful tool for expression and communication, merging art and technology, intuition and skill.
