Oh hey there
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 awkwardness 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.
My forever goal is to capture the raw, the real, and the beautifully unscripted-whether it's the quiet joy of a senior stepping into a new chapter, the spark between two people in love, or the wild, whirlwind energy of a wedding day. My work is rooted in earthy, moody, and rich tones that reflect the spirit of this stunning corner of the world-from misty forest trails to golden meadows and rocky overlooks. I love bringing the rustic textures and raw beauty of the Columbia River Gorge, Mount Hood, or wherever your story takes us.
Photography, to me, is about connection-not just between you and your people, but between you and the moment itself. My sessions are laid back and full of laughter, designed to make you feel at ease so your truest self can shine through. No stiff poses or awkward angles here-just real emotion, genuine connection, and imagery that is uniquely Pacific Northwest. Whether you're planning a mountain top elopement, an engagement in the forest, or senior photos in a golden field, I'm here for the wild, romantic, perfectly imperfect moments that tell your story exactly as it is.
