Families & Maternity

Silly, spontaneous, or sincere...


Capturing light, feelings & moments and all the things in between...


Whether you’re planning an adventurous family vacation or you’re a local excited to celebrate your family in your hometown, I’d love to document this beautiful chapter in your family’s history! And it doesn’t take a family of models to have an incredible photography experience. Discover how real families like yours have received galleries packed with spectacular photos! Below you'll see different family galleries that show what a session with me is like. I feel that this gives the best example of what you can expect from a session with me. You'll see a variance of posed and unposed families, which is my typical style. If you are inquiring about an extended family session and wish to see what an extended family session gallery looks like, please feel free to contact me vie email and I would be happy to send you one to view!

"Jen is the most amazing photographer! From engagements, wedding, to mini-sessions she has always made the experience and photos beyond perfect. She is so much fun, patient, and captures the perfect moments!"

Colette Braach, Google

Family sessions are all about documenting the sincere connection between those nearest and dearest to you! So, leash up the family dog, call up the grandparents and wrangle up the kiddos for a photo session packed with spontaneity and laughter. I have the pleasure of photographing 75+ families a year and over the years I've dealt with all the things that can arise during a family session. Whether it's fussy kids, a kiddo wetting their pants, or kids not smiling... I am a pro at handling the job. I am patient and understanding during our session together. I've got tricks up my sleeves to help generate smiles or laughter, and sometimes letting your kiddos run the show honestly produces some of the best images (believe it or not)!

So let me help capture your family in a true way that showcases your love, real-ness, and playfulness. I'm all about laughter and smiles, after all!
