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

Megan reached out to me about something really special. Her whole family was coming together for the weekend, staying at a beach resort in Carlsbad, and they wanted to gift their mom updated family photos. It had been years since their last session.

The only day that worked for everyone was Saturday, and it had to be close to the resort. So we started planning (on a short window!).

She sent me videos of some beautiful beach spots from her morning walks, and I started checking tide charts. Sure enough, most of those areas would be underwater during our shoot time.

But when there’s a will, there’s a way.

Megan pulled together her family’s wardrobe so beautifully. It fit the beach setting perfectly, and it’s no surprise because she’s a talented female entrepreneur in the fashion world. Every detail came together.

I arrived early to scout and somehow found the perfect little pocket of empty beach. (Thank you, Jesus!) We had just enough space, the clouds came rolling in and out over the harsh sun, and somehow, it all worked out.😍

So grateful I got to document this moment for her and her lovely family. It deeply honors me when talented friends trust me with their photos. 💛

Just an average Sunday with my babies. Wouldn’t trade my time raising them for anything. 💛
