If you're looking for an artistic maternity, newborn, and family photographer, I'm glad you found me! I'm an award-winning, published lifestyle photographer in the San Francisco Bay Area with over ten years of experience. Known for capturing families of all stages in my signature clean, bright style, my images reveal timeless love and connection with a clean, modern aesthetic.
My work has been described as heartfelt, in-depth, and infused with meaningful moments. What has influenced my style the most is my own experience of being a mother of five. At the core of my vision are the fleeting moments of sweetness, laughter, and deep connection sprinkled throughout the grind of family life.

Jen was such a delight to work with! We contacted her at the last minute, hoping she’d be available to take newborn photos of our one week old. We lucked out and she was able to fit us in a few days later. (Don’t count on this though, book her in advance!) She was super quick to respond and easy to communicate with, which this frenzied mom appreciated. When she came to our home to take the photos she was creative, efficient and willing to work with us to get a few heirloom items included in the images. The photos turned out stunning and our friends and family have raved. Would definitely recommend

This was our second time working with Jen as our family photographer, and we're so happy we got photos from her again. Jen's skill is apparent in her beautiful photos, but she also offers great opportunities for "mini" sessions in beautiful bay area locations. Definitely recommend her work and will most definitely be working with her again as the years go by to document these special moments with our family!

Jen is so talented! We hired her to take our family photos and she crushed it. Not only was she incredibly flexible in scheduling-- hard to get a 6 month old's nap schedule to cooperate with photos-- but the finished product was incredible. We couldn't be happier! I hope to use Jen year after year for our family photos.

Loved the beautiful family photos Jen captured for us! She has a great approach to understanding your preferences as a client and helping to choose the best location as well. She really captured the personalities of our daughters and our family. They will look beautiful in our home : ) Jen was great to work with as well and shared the edited photos with us quickly. I would definitely recommend Jen!

We have been going to Jen for our family photos for six years now, and there is a reason we keep choosing her year after year. We are a family with two very active boys that always want to run around or play. She is incredibly patient with them and is creative in coming up with ways to get them to participate in the process. It helps that she likes to capture real life! Jen is an extremely talented photographer and she always manages to frame our family in the most beautiful way. She is always on time and prepared for our session - in the past, she has even scouted the location out for great lighting

If you truly value your photos and wish to capture the most beautiful family moments, there is no better decision than to hire Jen.
The photography session with Jen was our first one as a family, and included a Cake Smash session for our daughter, who just turned 12 months old. This important milestone, along with being a very picky couple regarding our photos, made the photographer choice very important to us.
It was clear from the beginning that we made the right decision by hiring Jen, and we would strongly recommend her without hesitation. First, Jen chose the perfect location for our photoshoot

I honestly can't speak highly enough about Jen! We booked her for a family session (myself, husband and 9 month old daughter) and the entire experience was a dream. Jen was incredibly responsive during the initial booking; she took time to talk with me prior to get a sense of our family, what we were hoping for with our photo shoot and really trying to get to know us. She was also great in providing guidance in what would be best for a baby that age as well as help with opinions on clothing options. It was clear from just our early interactions that Jen truly has a passion and joy for what she

We have had Jen take all of our family pictures over the past 7 years, starting with our engagements! She took my all time favorite picture of my son and me, and we've received so many compliments on all of the pictures she's done for us. She has a way of capturing the emotion and candidness of the moment. She is easy to work with, has great suggestions and an eye for poses, and is up for anything. We look forward to working with her again and taking photos of our new addition!
