Hey! I'm the gal behind the camera. You can call me Jen, aka, your new bestie with a camera. I’m a photographer, creative soul, people loving, South African Born and USA raised, hopeless romantic, nature and landscape loving spirit.
My passion is creating meaningful relationships with others and using my artistic mind and gift to tell their story and give them an experience they will remember & cherish while laughing a lot & creating a new connection with you and your story.
Ever since I was young, you would always catch me drawing, painting, singing, or getting my hands on anything creative. I always drew, painted, and did anything creative with my hands. Not only that, but I had the love for creating connection with others and knowing people's stories.
In 2009 I picked up my first DSLR and Film camera, and I knew it was love at first sight. My camera brought my two greatest loves together and created an avenue for me to get to know others and use my art to get to know them and document moments in their life.
Ever since, I have been photographing everyone and everything until I transitioned full time into working with couples & weddings. 5 years into the wedding industry and 150 + weddings and elopements under my belt, I realized that while traditional weddings were great, it lacked a certain connection and authenticity through all the planning, stress, opinions of others, and money poured into it.
After capturing over 150 traditional weddings, I started to focus more on bringing my love of people, adventure, and photography that elopements & intimate weddings, and bringing my fine art painting history into my business. Photography & Art in a true story telling fashion are where I can serve my client's best in line with my strengths and desire to help serve them. An authentic, joyful, and fully present experience custom to your story and who you are, not what the industry, family, or society tells you it should be.
My goal is to be your dream creative bestie when it comes to photography & art
