Hi, I'm Jen! For a long time, I admired the artistry of other photographers until one day I felt an urge to start capturing images on my own. As I embarked on this journey, I had many ups and downs, but one thing remained constant...I love what I see through the lens of my Canon.
I'm a Southern California lifestyle photographer with a passion for capturing special moments and memories. Please join me as I continue along this journey - my vision is to make each shoot not about me, but to capture your moments, joy, anticipation, love, commitment and laughter! Whether your needs are for family portraits documenting special milestones, engagements to celebrate, head shots for new business ventures, or weddings to capture, I'm confident that I can meet your needs in a way that expresses who you are. It may be my camera, but it's your story.
If you're interested in learning more, please feel free to contact me or click on the 'ABOUT JEN' tab. Thanks for stopping by!
Last weekend, I had the honor of “trading faces” with another photographer. We decided to try out a new location and get some shots of one another. Gina, from Monkey Moon Photography, is a total doll and I loved the way these shots turned out. She has a great smile and a fantastic southern accent!
June 9, 2009 - 8:55 am - I love these! She must've been so happy... the colors and the light are beautiful, nice job!
June 17, 2009 - 9:39 pm - Love the solar flare. Awesome tone and contrast of the hoop earrings against the straight fence. That mosaic wall is neat and those Leland cypress trees are ROCKIN'. She's a pretty lady and you did GREAT on the portraits!
June 23, 2009 - 6:22 pm - Pretty cool post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say that I have really liked browsing your blog posts. In any case I'll be subscribing to your blog and I hope you write again soon!
Clare and Matt’s precious baby boy arrived on May 20 and less than 24 hours later, I was able to visit the hospital and snap some pics. If you’re expecting a wee bundle of joy, please feel free to contact me about hospital images. Not only am I available to photograph the new one and the special hospital details to document your newest arrival, but also your delivery if you’re interested in capturing that most critical and beautiful moment!
Welcome Baby Derek…you were most wonderfully and perfectly made!
June 21, 2009 - 1:05 pm - From one former southern cal girl (I now live in AZ) to another (You) these pictures are fabulous. I just stumbled onto this website from iheartfaces.com. I am amazed at the clarity of your photos. I am just starting out. What are you using to get such clear and crisp pictures. These are great. Goodluck with your business.
Sara and Hector were married a short while ago, but decided to have a “Day After” shoot in order to capture some more relaxed portraits. Day After shoots are a fantastic option for brides and grooms who either don’t wish to see each other before the wedding, or have an accelerated day of wedding schedule.
Walking through the park in full wedding regalia was hilarious and this fabulous couple exchanged a few sheepish grins as people congratulated them, but it was the perfect opportunity to take some photos of the gorgeous bride in her gown and the happy groom looking studly.
Sara and Hector, I love your newlywed glow and how joyful you are just to be together. I know God will bless you with a lifetime of love and I’m so proud to have been asked to document your celebration of marriage through my camera. XOXO!
Caden recently turned four and is such a little man already! He likes to play rough, is already a video gamer, and rules the playground! It’s so fun to see little boys in their element…this little guy has so much energy and was just a joy to watch!
June 4, 2009 - 9:03 pm - JJ, I love them! Thanks soo much for taking them! You rock and I'm glad that we finally got to meet-up!!
I met up with the Scholtes down at Crystal Cove recently. Their daughter Ella just turned one and it was time to get some new family photos. It was a beautiful day and the beach was packed with young families playing catch, romping around in the waves, and enjoying their first tastes of summer. It was clear to me that Ella wanted to join right in on the fun…her crystal blue eyes caugh all of the activity!
Jen and Eric have a wonderful love story and it’s so awesome to see them as parents, too. Ella is a precious child and I just know she’ll grow up feeling an abundance of love.
This weekend, I met up with the Smith family. Timmy just turned one and it was time to document this family’s milestone!
It was immediately apparent to me that this boy is ALL BOY! He loved running through the trees, finding pinecones and sticks, and later couldn’t put down his baseball and bat. It was so fun to see his big smile break out when he played peekaboo around a tree with his daddy and how he loved snuggling up with his mama!
Shelley and Steve, it was a pleasure spending the morning with you guys! You have a precious family!
Engagement sessions might just be my favorite. The couple is usually very excited and giddy with anticipation for their big day. Lisa and Nate are getting married next month and I had the honor of taking their engagement photos last weekend. It was so fun to be with them and see the way they interact!
Lisa and Nate are a perfect pair. They truly compliment one another. Lisa smiles more since she’s been with Nate; he brings her joy and makes her giggle. Lisa does the same for Nate…and she certainly encourages him and builds him up. I can’t wait to watch them begin their life together!
On a totally separate note, I tried a new vignette on a couple of these pics to give it more of an old school flair. I think it suits them and I really like the way these pics turned out!
Matt loves Clare. Matt loves sports. Matt loves his ‘66 Fastback. Next month, he’ll get to meet his son and will fall in love all over again.
Because of Matt’s love for sports, we decided to take their maternity pics at the Tustin Sports Park. I’m thrilled with how they turned out and know that the joy they’re expressing in these photos will last forever!
This last weekend, I had the awesome pleasure of shooting the Seatons. Little Finley is right around 6 months old and they hadn’t had any professional photos done, yet, as a family. The Seatons are a lovely young family and Finley is just precious!
Enjoy!
June 1, 2009 - 5:19 pm - The crying shot is just amazing. I am loving all your work. A wanna be Michelle
My brother, Dan, and sister-in-law, Shannon, recently had their second child - a beautiful boy named Phoenix. He’s absolutely precious and unbelievably gorgeous! The only problem is: THEY LIVE IN COLORADO. However, I was able to visit them and spend some time helping out with darling Phoenix and my sweet niece Grey and this summer, they’ll come to CA for my brother’s 30th birthday. I just can’t wait to see them again.
