NAMED A TOP NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER IN ORANGE COUNTY
Before I became a mother, I learned to be a photographer. Of course I am still growing and learning in both areas of my life. People never stop changing and growing.
A little bit of luck and a lot of hard work has enabled me to create this business. It is a business that I love because I am able to tell your stories through my images; stories that grow with each new milestone from birth to crawling, sitting, walking and beyond.
I understand, from my own walk through motherhood, what my clients are experiencing in this journey and I am right here with you. Embrace this time of change and allow me to capture the essence of what makes your experience unique.
From a very young age, I have viewed my world through the lens of a camera. My great-grandmother did the same and used her photos to tell me stories of my ancestry, stories I continue to unfold long after she has passed on.
The value of these images was far more than anything she owned. Though she may not have realized at the time, she was writing a story for her children and grandchildren, and also for me, my children, and grandchildren. My passion lives in the art of capturing these moments and helping tell your stories for future generations.

Since beginning her journey into professional photography in 2005, Jenn has helped thousands of families tell their story through the portrait sessions they share together. Whether elegant posed settings or casual romps spilling over with laughter, these maternity, newborn and family portraits capture what’s important to her clients. They also reflect what’s most important to Jenn: family.
Great images tell family stories. It’s those stories that hooked her on working with families, and crafting the photographic legacy that family photos provide. These tangible pieces of history record the family’s ancestry as priceless gifts for future generations. That has inspired Jennifer to create artistic images of many milestones in their lives. Poring over her grandmother’s copious bins of photographs helped her understand the story of her own family in a compelling way, unmatched by any other means. These printed moments shared times, places and people otherwise inaccessible.
Jennifer’s mother also loved photography. She piqued her young interest in creating her own images and let her borrow her camera on several occasions. If it weren’t for her mom’s encouragement over the years, Jennifer might be doing something entirely different with her life!
From 2006, her husband, Jeff, and Jennifer traveled together and conquered the world, just the two of them. Now they have two beautiful children! Their kids brings new joy and meaning to their lives every day. When they as a couple bloomed into a family, Jennifer more fully understood how important family photos are to preserving family history. All too soon, little ones grow, showing Mommy’s eyes, Daddy’s dimples, Grandpa’s laugh and Great Grandma’s smile, yet all those familiar traits make up an entirely new person, all their own and always changing.
Jennifer strives to preserve these moments through photography and help other families cultivate their legacy with beautiful images they can enjoy and pass down to their children.
