Authentic, unposed, in-between moments.
the gal behind the camera
I have a passion for documenting love in all its purest forms - from the moment one hears those much anticipated words “will you marry me?” to the first time a mother meets her new baby. Memories are powerful enough to carry us through tough times, and having those moments captured in time through photography can bring unexplainable joy. I’m honored to be a part of creating these memories with you.
GET TO KNOW ME
hello, I'm JENNIFER
"Jenn. I cried because I've never had a vision come to life. You're phenomenal in your work and how you carry yourself and your vision. It truly shows."

"We turned to Jen when we really wanted a wedding photographer who matched our personalities and vibe. She made sure to constantly check in pre-wedding, asked me to make a vision board with photos that matched what we were looking for- and she hit the nail on the head 10000% with our photos. We received our photos back ahead of schedule, and I don’t have 1 photo I dislike- which is pretty rare for me! She made sure to photograph the most important friends and family in ways that captured their authentic self & were more candid than posed which is what we asked for. My husband loves them all, and the way we can feel the emotions through the photos- it makes me so thankful that we trusted her with our special day. We will be going back to Jen for our future photography needs!"
"Jennifer was amazing from start to finish. I have admired her work for awhile and finally got to work with her for our maternity photos. She helped me come up with the mood/vibe of the photoshoot and gave her opinion on our families outfits and props. She helped find a location and was always super responsive when I had questions beforehand. During the shoot, she had so much patience with my two toddlers since family photos aren’t always the easiest. Her turn around time for editing was also very quick!! I am obsessed with all of the images in the gallery she delivered. If you ever get the chance to work with Jennifer, I would highly recommend her!"
-LORI
"Jen is the best. She's so patient and literally the best hype girl during your shoot. She's done our 2 maternity and so far 1 newborn photos. We love her. Her photos always come out so stunning, and she's so passionate about her work. You can see her love of photogrpahy in the way she takes her photos. Just the way she captures real moments in time, not just structured, posed, and smile photos. I will be forever grateful for the stolen moments she's caught on camera. Getting to relive those moments with my family every time I look at all of the beautiful pictures she's given us over the past 3 years makes my soul happy."
-SHAWNA
"My husband and I recently got married and Jennifer did our photos. Not only were the engagement photos amazing but the wedding photos came out absolutely incredible. She made our day so special and captured all the wonderful amazing moments perfectly. Not only is she an amazing photographer but she is really easy and very nice to work with. She has an eye for capturing just the right angles and moments, and she knows how to get the background just right. If you are looking for someone to capture your special day I would highly recoomend Jennifer. We are so glad we did and we will have these amazing photos to look at and share for the rest of our lives! Thanks again Jennifer you were amazing!"

Your photos will be securely stored in a full-resolution cloud gallery, easily accessible for one year.
We live in a culture that loves instant gratification, and I have you covered! You'll have 40+ wedding previews sent to you within 48 hours.
Polaroids provide a nostalgic, one-of-a-kind view of your wedding day. You’ll get to wrap up your wedding photography with tangible, instant memories in your hands!
We will have our initial consultation meeting where you can tell me all about your vision and what's important to you. When it gets closer to your wedding day, we will have another meeting and create a thorough wedding day photo timeline to ensure you can stress less and enjoy your day more.
Including an outfit and location guide (if your package includes an engagement session OR if you add one on) and a 34 page wedding guide filled with tips and recommendations.
This is one of the most valuable add on I offer! Having a second skilled photographer to get different angles, as well as capture additional unseen moments, is priceless. If you put a high value on your wedding photographer, I could not recommend a second shooter more.
A 2 hour engagement shoot is not only a great way to celebrate your love, but also a fantastic way to get comfortable in front of the camera before your big day.
There's usually a bit of a warm-up period when it comes to feeling comfortable, and getting that out of the way before your wedding day makes a huge difference!
If you want to fully enjoy every moment of your wedding day, this add-on is perfect for you! Instead of squeezing in a bridal or couple photoshoot on the big day, we can do it on a separate day, giving you the freedom to savor every part of your wedding without any stress.
Some of the most meaningful moments take place at the rehearsal dinner, surrounded by your closest friends and family. Don’t miss the chance to capture those memories.
Imagine flipping through a custom-designed, fine art wedding album and reliving your special day whenever you wish. My albums are not just beautiful; they’re timeless treasures, crafted to be passed down through the generations.
Can't wait to see your wedding photos? I got you! I can get your entire wedding gallery edited and delivered within only one week!
If your coverage time is up but the celebration is still going strong, I’d be more than happy to stay! I offer add-on hours on the day of your wedding, so you can keep the party going and capture every moment.
