Welcome to Olive & Acorn – Where Your Moments Stand Still

Time moves fast—too fast, if you ask me. One moment, you’re surrounded by laughter, love, and the people who mean the most to you… and before you know it, it’s all a memory. Life doesn’t slow down—but that doesn’t mean we can’t hold on to the pieces that matter most.
That’s where Olive & Acorn comes in. I am Jen, and as your Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington area photographer I am here to forever capture those moments with rich, moody photos and a fast turnaround (because you shouldn’t have to wait ages for your memories). Whether it is your wedding or elopement, senior photos, graduation, or engagement, I’ve got you covered.
This isn’t just photography. It’s storytelling. It’s soul work. It’s a way to press pause on the most meaningful chapters of your life and create something lasting—something you can return to, time and time again. Because those tiny, in-between moments? They’re the ones that shape who we are. The way your mother gently fixes your veil. The burst of joy when your child sees their birthday cake. The soft, knowing glance between you and your partner when no one else is watching.


At Olive & Acorn, I specialize in preserving the moments that often go unnoticed but are felt the most deeply. I believe in capturing the warmth of human connection, the quiet beauty of authenticity, and the kind of memories that make your heart swell years down the road.
Whether you’re getting married, welcoming new life, celebrating a milestone, or simply documenting the beauty of the everyday—I’m here to freeze time, to help you hold onto what matters, and to tell your story with care, heart, and intention.
Because your memories deserve to stand still. And your legacy deserves to be seen.
Let’s create something timeless together.

I’m Jen, your go-to Pacific Northwest photographer, here to freeze time with rich, earthy images that transport you right back to the moment. Whether it’s your wedding day, a golden-hour adventure, or a cozy in-home session, I believe photography isn’t just about pretty pictures—it’s about reliving the experience, feeling the emotions, and remembering exactly how it all felt.
The best part? No awkward poses here. I keep things fun, relaxed, and real. Think movement, laughter, and those in-between moments that make the best memories.

“Jen is a true gem. She did my daughters graduation photos and not only is she insanely talented with such a special eye with every photo well thought out, but she made the photo shoot fun with her genuine, bubbly personality. She will forever be my "go to" for future photos. You will not be disappointed! “

Allison 

"Jennifer did an amazing job getting beautiful photos of my children!! She was able to capture them being sweet together. She caught candid photos with their genuine smiles. The lighting and scene locations were stunning! The photos are so high quality that I can get them on large canvases without any distortion or blurring. The photos Jennifer took are the best that have ever been taken of my children and I will cherish them forever."

Stephanie

"Absolutely amazing photographer. Jen is incredibly personable and made my very shy senior come out of his shell. Pictures far exceeded my expectations as well as her professionalism, attention to detail and accommodating our ever changing schedule. I can not recommend Olive and Acorn Photography more. 20/10!!"

Tara

"Jen has done a couple different sessions for me and I just keep wanting to come back for more!! In fact, I’m trying to book her again for the birth of my baby as she is the only one I would trust to capture this. I am in love with her editing style and more than that, she is super comfortable to work with. No awkward moments and guessing what you are supposed to do which is always my least favorite part of committing to photos. Super kind, super fairly priced, and super talented! Thank you Jen!”
