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
Action Figures—Family Edition 👌
This trend was too fun not to hop on immediately! Have you made yours yet? Justin’s had me DYING. 😂 💀
My favorite part?
The toddlers are always obsessed with sitting in the dirt/leaves by the end and WILL NOT BE STOPPED. 👏
But don’t worry Mom, that’s why I get all the good ones right when we start (or are the good ones them playing in that dirt?!).
We keep it fun. 🤗

“It’s adoption day! It’s adoption day!” Sweet little almost-five-year-old Durray was ecstatic as he ran around telling friends and family in the hallways of the courthouse.
Two-year-old Grace didn’t quite understand the day’s significance, but she cuddled into her favorite adults as they waited to meet the judge—the kindest one I’ve met.
As he read his lines and made their family official in the eyes of the court, he smiled and celebrated this life altering milestone they had stepped into.
Friends and family gathered to watch and followed them outside to give celebratory hugs before they went off to a nearby restaurant to share a joyous meal.
These precious little ones needed a home with parents to care for them and love them unconditionally, and Janine and Shawn stepped in to be that and so much more.
This was the first adoption I’ve had the honor of photographing, and it’s safe to say I’m eager to do more. What a special day to be a part of.

Did I say “Arabica” right? 😅 In the last several years, I’ve been more health-conscious and looking for ways to cut back on coffee while still getting my morning pick-me-up (because that sweet baby still wakes me up all night!).
I’ve heard so much about mushroom coffee and its gut health benefits, and since gut health is connected to everything—digestion, energy, mood, and immunity—I knew I had to give it a shot.
I’ll be honest, I was scared it would taste weird, but I finally tried @ryzesuperfoods, and I was so surprised at how good it is!
If you’re looking for a delicious, gut-friendly coffee alternative, you can get 15% off with my code: JENNAJOSEPH15. Be sure to follow @ryzesuperfoods for all their yummy drink options.
Justin and I are already planning to try the mushroom hot cocoa next to see if it helps us sleep better! 😴
