ABOUT ME
Hello, I'm
JENNA!
I’m a photographer, a wife, a mama, and someone who truly gets what it feels like to want to freeze time.
For years, I was all about the hustle—traveling, building my dream photography business, chasing goals, and loving every second of it. My work took me to breathtaking weddings, featured in Martha Stewart Weddings, Style Me Pretty, and alongside top planners like Kelsey Rae Designs. I worked with incredible venues like Temecula Creek Inn and Ponte Winery, capturing love stories in beautiful places.
But the greatest love story of my life? It’s this one—right here, in the middle of motherhood.
My husband Justin and I have built something strong together. Life has brought its challenges, but our love has only deepened through them. Now, with our three little ones (5, 2, and almost 1), we’re soaking up this season—exhausting and beautiful as it is. We believe in dating each other, cherishing our kids, and doing our best to love others the way Jesus did—imperfectly, but with a heart that’s always trying to grow.
And in our home, music is everywhere. Justin is a worship director, musician, and wedding DJ, and our boys are already following in his footsteps. Our oldest is a drumming prodigy, and their little “band practices” fill our house with constant energy (and a lot of noise!).
As overwhelming as it can be raising three boys, I know firsthand how fast this season will pass—the messy, loud, beautiful chaos of raising little ones.
And that’s why I do what I do.
I know how hard it is to get in the frame, to make the time, to invest in photos when life is already so full. But I also know how much it matters. These little hands, these belly laughs, the way your babies look at you—this is the good stuff. The fleeting, irreplaceable moments you’ll long to hold onto.
My photography is all about keeping it real, capturing love in its most natural form—whether that’s running barefoot on the beach (a little nod to my husband’s Caribbean roots) or snuggling up at home in the place where your family feels most like you.
Motherhood isn’t perfect. But it is beautiful. And I’d love to show you just how beautiful it really is.
Let’s create something timeless together.
LITTLE THINGS
I’m a homebody.
Slow mornings with coffee are my favorite.
Fresh air and sunshine reset my soul.
Plants are my love language.
my boys are my whole world.
INSTALOVE
Did my iPhone overexpose it a bit? Yes but you get the point.🤣😍
Photography is all about LIGHT!
If you trust your photographer you’ll want THEM to scope the best spots for you, not only for the backdrop but for so much more. It will serve you better than giving a shot list. 💛
When we photographers can have freedom to shoot what we see is best, we can put you in the most flattering light that illuminates your face+skin and hide any imperfections you might not want to document (and if you don’t care that’s fine too, but we all have insecurities so us photographers try our best to make you feel beautiful, however that looks to you!). We can get creative with composition, shadows, and all sorts of fun things to do our best work!
My best tip for the best photos is hiring a photographer you love and letting them do their magic, uninhibited.😍😍😍
Loved visiting @thecolonyhouse here in this video with @kiacassiah for her wedding. 😍
It’s already time to start thinking about Christmas cards! How?!
I’ve got you covered. Comment FALL to be the first to get info about my fall mini sessions.

Just a personal post to support my husband! I noticed from my Warped Tour post that a lot more friends like that genre, so I figured why not share this too!
My husband’s band @uponthewater dropped a new single! If you like some heavier music and want to support them, you can listen to them on Spotify or YouTube and share their reels! 💛

We’re not meant to build in isolation. Community changes EVERYTHING. Share this with a mom in business that inspires you. 💛
Things are shifting as I find my footing in work again, but I think it’s going to be something really good.
If you’re in a season of change too, building something as you raise tiny humans, I see you.
Looking forward to finding my people as I blossom into something new. 💛
