Kaitlin + Kyle chose a perfect location for their session.  Months ago in early summer when Kaitlin started planning their session, she emailed me a few photos and I fell in love with this place. Something I always try to get people to do for engagement sessions is to pick a location and season that is opposite your wedding. Kaitlin could not have done a more perfect job of just this. Their summer city wedding will without a doubt be a complete contrast to their fall engagement photos.

In addition to picking such a gorgeous location these two brought a very important and fun member of their family to their session, Ms. Marli! I always laugh a little when couples ask if it would be ok if they brought their dogs. My answer will ALWAYS be yes! As many of you know I love dogs, and have 2 of my own and I just love meeting my couple fur babies if the opportunity arises – it always gives a little more insight into their lives.

Kaitlin + Kyle, thank you so much for spending the day with me and treating me to a delicious dinner and drinks afterward! I absolutely can’t wait until your wedding next summer. These few months are going to fly by! XOXO-J

Hi, I'm Jen!

I'm a photographer, a guide, and a quiet calm in the middle of your most meaningful day.

I’ve always been drawn to emotion — to the joy in a father’s eyes during the first look, the soft nervous energy right before the ceremony, the tiny, fleeting in-between moments most people miss. Capturing those is what I do best.

My work is grounded in empathy, trust, and intention. I’ll support you through the planning, walk you through the timeline, and ensure that you feel seen and celebrated from start to finish.

This isn’t just about pretty pictures — it’s about preserving what matters, so you can return to it again and again.
