About

Hi, I'm Jennifer

My love for photography started long before I ever thought of it as a business. I took my first photography class in high school and fell in love with the darkroom. Around the same time, I was a nanny for a photographer who taught me more than she probably realized. I went on to study photography in college, and through all of it, photographing people, especially in natural light, was always what I loved most.

I don’t believe every senior, child or family needs to fit the same look. Bring me the inspiration you’ve saved and tell me what you’re hoping for. I’ll give you direction when you need it, help you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and leave room for the moments that happen naturally. Whether you’re quiet, confident, a little awkward, completely at ease, or somewhere in between, I want your photos to look beautiful without losing what makes them yours.

Sometimes the best photo is the one we never planned.
