“I cannot say enough about our experience with Jen. From the minute she walked in our house until the moment she left, we felt comfortable, ourselves and had fun! Jen provided just the right amount of direction but her style was to hang in the background and really let us go about our day. That worked so well for us. The end product was something beyond anything we could have imagined. She captured our family dynamic perfectly. This is something we will treasure for the rest of our lives and could not be happier with our decision to work with Jen!”

“Jen has shot our engagement and wedding photos, newborn portraits, and has captured important family moments in both still and video. She is incredibly talented, but what’s more, she is beyond professional, flexible, and has a wonderful skill working with small children (who aren’t always so easy to catch smiling in photos!) Her family films have brought tears to our eyes and I’m always taken aback seeing the small, intimate moments she captures when I don’t even realize that she is doing so. We highly recommend films and already have our next film shoot with Jen scheduled!”

“We had the pleasure of working with Jen for a family fall session this year.  She was able to capture so many fun candid moments.  Jen was so patient taking photos of our four year old and was very understanding that preschoolers will sometimes get a bit distracted.  One thing that sets Jen apart are her lifestyle videos/moving portraits.  We love the video she created and know that in the future we will love seeing what our family life was like back in 2018.  Thank you Jen!  We can’t recommend your work highly enough.”

“JEN! Oh my gosh – we are so in love with this (video)! I didn’t even know how much we’d love to have this!! Totally need to do this for Edison’s 1 year photos too. Thank you!”
