Jen is a portrait photographer and has been in the industry for 16 years. She started with High School Seniors, and quickly branched out to family, including children and babies, maternity, & engagements.
Jen started really focusing on photography when she was in high school, working as an editor of her school's yearbook, and an editor with her journalism class. What started off as a simple hobby quickly became a passion. She began apprenticing with a local photographer after college, along with working as a dance teacher at a local studio.
Jen's love and enthusiasm for both dance and photography quickly earned her a job with a dance competition & convention. She began traveling nationwide and selling her photos to dance moms.
Fueled by music of all genres, Starbucks, Disney, and sports, Jen is always ready for anything. Not to mention she is filled with Wanderlust, and readily available to travel, passport at the ready.
✮ Jen Likes ✮
Sports • I am a big sports girl, having grown up in an active sports family. My favorite sport is football, although I watch a little of everything. On Saturdays and Sundays you'll always find me either at a game, in the stands rooting for my team, or in front of the tv ... unless I am working of course
Chocolate • Yes, I have a chocolate addiction. What can I say? It's a weakness
Sushi • Who doesn't though right?!
Disney • ...everything about Disney. I can never get enough Disney in my life. I am officially a DisNerd.
Music • Music is literally my therapy. I listen to everything, depending on my mood. I sometimes just put my music on shuffle mode, and let the next song surprise me. I always have music playing. It helps me concentrate, and work through everything.
Purple • Purple is my signature color
The Fall • It's my all time favorite time of the year. My favorite holiday is Halloween, and the colors during that time of the year are just magical.

My Kids • I am a mom of 2 beautiful daughters, and nothing means more to me than them. They are my world.
Family • I was always taught that Family is so important. I am very close to them, and I am a firm believer in 'Family First'.
God • I grew up in a Catholic family, and I do have to say without God in my life, nothing would be possible. I am not the type to preach to others, but I do know I owe everything to Him.
Photography • Being a photographer, and meeting new people. I have always been a creative person, and being able to create something that's customized toward each of my clients is something I strive for. I am always challenging myself to do and try new things. From everyday life to behind the lens.
Traveling • I am a total jet-setter. I love to be able to travel anywhere. Whether it's a road trip out of town, a quick getaway for a weekend, or even traveling internationally, for work or pleasure, I am always the first one to say YES... LET'S GO!
Animals • I am a huge animal lover. I do have 1 fur baby, and if I could, I'd have a fur baby plantation.
