Oh hey there!

Vancouver, Washington photographer


I’m Jen—your resident goofball with a camera, master of making you laugh when you least expect it, and the reason your cheeks might hurt from smiling (sorry, not sorry). If you’re looking for stiff, awkward posing and forced smiles, I’m probably not your girl. But if you want to twirl, run, piggyback, dance like no one’s watching, or pretend you’re in a rom-com montage, then we’re about to be besties.
 
I specialize in weddings and portraits here in the breathtaking Pacific Northwest, where moody skies, towering trees, and the occasional Sasquatch sighting set the perfect backdrop. I thrive on capturing the real, unscripted, belly-laugh moments—the ones that make you say, “Wow, that’s so us.” Instead of rigid poses, I use prompts to bring out your most natural expressions (which may or may not involve terrible jokes, ridiculous dares, or me embarrassing myself for your entertainment).
 
When I’m not out chasing golden hour light or making my clients feel like models, I’m at home in the Portland metro area with my husband and our four dogs—who, let’s be honest, run the household. My life is a chaotic mix of dog hair, coffee, and an alarming number of camera batteries, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
 
So, if you’re ready to ditch the awkward and have a photography experience that feels like hanging out with an old friend (who just happens to have a fancy camera), let’s make some magic together. Just be warned—I will probably make you laugh.
