Jennifer took beautiful photos of our large family at a 61 Year Family Anniversary gathering. Her genuine personality, abilities, and talents captured 56 people spanning 4 generations in one sitting. We are grateful for her work and will cherish these photos for many years to come!

Jennifer took newborn photos of my 2 week old daughter. She was so gentle and patient with her. My daughter was happy and comfortable during the entire shoot. The studio is warm and inviting with a nursing rocker for breastfeeding moms. The photos were just beautiful! Jennifer was professional, friendly and promptly responsive to all communications. I am very satisfied; it was well worth the investment. I would highly recommend!

We have been going to Jen for about 5 years now. Every single time I worry we won't get good pictures when the kids aren't cooperating. Every single time she proves me wrong and gets such amazing pictures! She is very go with the flow which helps with my kids.

Jen is awesome at what she does! She was willing to reschedule a session when my 5 year old decided to not cooperate when we tried the first session. I love how all the pictures turned out and have gotten a ton of compliments!
