O1. about me

my faves

The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
-Chris McCandless

I totally have "the stoke".
"What is that?" you might ask. Well, it's essentially enthusiasm for living.
I never like to be idle, unless I'm really tired or a new Stranger Things season has just come out. Happiness to me comes from expanding; traveling to new places, meeting new people, and sharing experiences.
Photography has given me this awesome way to harness my stoke — to transmit it through images, to remind myself (and hopefully others) that life is BEAUTIFUL! We can't waste it, ignore it, or — worst of all — forget it.

thanks for stopping by

hola FRIENDS!

Changing scenery is key. The desert feels other-worldly to me- and I like to remove myself from what I'm used to as often as possible.

preferably in the desert...

Probably the nicest person you'll ever meet... He might be goofier than me, has a mad sweet tooth, and makes a mean French Toast. Bear.

Holy moly- this little dude is a ton of work but he's oh-so worth it. I love watching him watch the world.
We named him Bryce after that magical canyon.

O1. about me

I simply cannot say enough about Jenny. The photos that she has given us are priceless.
They tell a story, our story.
We can look at them and vividly remember every moment, every detail, and every feeling. You can get photos from anyone, but what you get from Jenny is a chance to relive the best day of your life.

married

Randy + Jenna

Jenny genuinely loves what she does and you can see it in her photos. My wife and I got married in Costa Rica and we can't imagine our wedding day (or that whole trip!) without Jenny there to capture it so perfectly like she did. Jenny makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera and she's excellent at catching special fleeting moments. Safe to say we would recommend Jenny over and over again.

married

ALEX & MARY

Jennifer put all of us at ease, including my husband and she captured the complete essence of our day. We did not have a videographer for our wedding, something initially I thought I would regret, but upon seeing our completed photos there was no need for a videographer. Jennifer captured every moment, every emotion, it’s truly incredible. Looking back on our photos makes me feel like we are there again on our special day. Her professionalism and her talent are truly out of this world. It was such a joy working with her, I only hope I have a reason to call on her services again someday to document a special moment so I can relive it whenever I want.

NICOLE & NAThan

Jennifer worked with us to create unique, visually stunning, and creative engagement photos at Joshua Tree. Her climbing experience and love for the outdoors was a unique benefit as that allowed her to get some unique shots, many of which required class 5 rock climbing and ascending fixed lines.
My (now) wife and I are pretty camera shy (we barely hold hands in public!), but she was able to get romantic shots that never expected us to look good in!
Great job Jenny!

Steven & Jarling

If your considering Jennifer, DO IT. It will be the easiest decision of your whole wedding planning. She was diligent, on time, and easy to be around. Not only did my husband and I LOVE Jennifer but all of our friends and family are raving about our wedding pictures. There isn't a bad one in the bunch. BEST and easiest decision we made for our WHOLE wedding!!!!

married

madison & Brian

Of all the wedding vendors we worked with, Jenny was far and away one of the best. From our first meeting with her, I knew that she was the one we would end up hiring to capture our big day. She is young and energetic, yet mature and talented. She shares a love of adventure with my husband and I, which made her incredibly fun to work with. She totally "got" us and I feel like she captured our personalities and our relationship perfectly.

FAQ

My home base is in the magical little town of Nederland, CO- but for me, traveling is the name of the game! I will go anywhere for a wedding as long as I have the availability for it! Depending on the location, a travel fee may apply.

+ where are you based out of?

+ what's your favorite type of session?

Engagement sessions- hands down. It makes my heart seriously happy to photograph two love birds without the wedding day chaos. It gives me a chance to get to know the couple, hear their story, and form a friendship that will carry over to the big day and beyond!

I LOVE photojournalism. I love real moments between people, and being there to document it. I try to be the stealthiest paparazzi ninja ever. However I know not everyone is comfortable in front of the camera, so I'm happy to provide direction whenever it's needed! :)

+ what's your philosophy/photography style?

+ do you work alone?

For the most part, yes! Second photographers can always be added on to any package, but I am super confident in my solo abilities! I typically carry two cameras on my person at all times, so that I can get those overall environmental shots, as well as close-up candids within just seconds of each other!

+ what are your favorite locations for photos?

If I were getting portraits of myself, I'd want them taken in Moab or Bryce Canyon. Those two places mean the world to me and give me so much life energy. What is your Moab? Location should say something about the person/people in the photo, whether it be something general or specific. It's different for everybody!
If you aren't the super sentimental type and just want some great shots at an epic location, I would be more than happy to pick a place out for you!

I've got answers!

| NEXT

+ what should i expect after the session?

After the session I will do a quick scan-thru and get some previews up for you within 2-4 days! This gives you something to share with your friends & get excited about! With most family/engagement/senior sessions, photos are ready in 2-3 weeks! Weddings can take anywhere from 6-8 weeks to complete.
All images will be available for viewing & instant high-res download online, and family & friends can also order professional quality prints through the gallery site for convenience-sake if they so choose.

+ So do you edit all of the images?

Heck yeah!! Cameras definitely are getting better and better at capturing a huge range of light & color, but there's always room for improvement with a little tweaking. Not only do I want you to be happy with your images, but I also take great personal pride in putting out the best work I can!

I've got answers!

you've got questions

| NEXT

+ how does the booking process work?

With portrait & engagement sessions, we simply would just find a date/time/place that works for both parties and that's that!
With weddings a contract and a 30% retainer are required to hold the date! Upon signing the contract, a client page will be made for you where you will be able to access the contract at any time, fill out a questionnaire with wedding day details as they come along, and view payment info/receipts.
