Thanks for stopping by!
I'm Jen, a Southern California based photographer and it's my honor to create portraits that celebrate some of the most important seasons of life.
have fun browsing!
I am not high tech. Not at all! But one thing I get asked about a lot, and I have to admit I’m proud of, is my custom stationary for my emails. I think it looks really professional and it stands out in a sea of emails. I have several templates, one for weddings, one […]
Sometimes I can go quite a while without picking up my camera. Don’t get me wrong…. I love to shoot. And I love to create. With many different mediums, not just photography. But what I love more than anything is people. And I love when I get to create beautiful images along with my wonderful […]
I love to discover new little hang-outs. So when I came across Max Blooms on a jog one day, I couldn’t help but poke my head in and check it out. I was all sweaty, but was lured in by the vintage music and decor. Kevin, one of the owners politely asked, “Can I help […]
Last Spring, just a few months after moving in, I found little surprises in my backyard. There were little daffodils popping up. An Iris decided to show itself as if to tell me, “Spring is here! It’s time for me to shine!” Along with those were these other little magical flowers. I don’t know what […]
It’s no secret that I love where I live. When I was looking to buy a house I wanted it to be old (built pre 1930’s) and I wanted it to be within walking distance to a cute downtown area. How blessed am I!?! So over the past year I’ve been exploring my new neighborhood […]
A few months ago, Dane asked me if I would be interested in leading a group in Orange County for photographers. It would be based on some of the Fast Track principles, mostly that we would be committed to creating a community of creatives who are “For Each Other”. At first we called it a […]
Last week I was in New York! My friend Eddie, that I’ve known since first grade, lives in Manhattan and was kind enough to let me stay with him. We had so much fun reminiscing about elementary school and LAUGHING. SO. HARD! He had a few days off work so we were able to go […]
One of my favorite things about my house is the way the light shines through the front windows in the afternoon. This time of year it happens from about 4:00 to 4:30. If I’m in the front room I make a point of stopping to notice. AND I make whoever happens to be here do […]
So I have often mentioned over the past year that I love many things about where I live. Now don’t get me wrong. There are a bunch of things I don’t like, like the drunk college kids that walk by yelling at night and break my fence. But I don’t like to focus on those […]
This afternoon I am privileged to have the opportunity of facilitating a really cool event! My friend Dane emailed me the other day to see if I would be interested in facilitating a panel discussion about community between some of the industry greats, Becker, Scott Bourne, and Dane. Of course I said yes! So if […]
