My goal as your photographer is that you LOVE your photo session. Whether you are with your family or having professional headshots taken, I strive for a fun, relaxed environment, capturing natural expressions and authentic connections. Jennifer captured my children so beautifully! I love how natural they look, not in any formal pose or forced smile.

She let them be little children and caught the most magical shots of them giggling and being exactly who they are. Her attention to lighting was amazing as well. I am going to treasure our images! Jennifer is lovely and very professional. My whole family felt at ease and had so much fun during our photo session.

At the age of 14, I convinced my parents to convert a little-used closet in their basement into a darkroom. There began a lifelong love of photography-a pursuit that would, unbeknownst to anyone, shape my future. I love my work because I have a passion for people and the beauty in the world around us.
A family session can include up to 6 people, and is held at your home or on location. I happily travel to San Francisco, Sonoma County, or the SF Peninsula for a nominal travel fee. Jennifer is the reason our holiday card turned out great! Thanks so much for making our photo shoot so much fun. Your ability to make all of us relax and smile is amazing!
Private, fully-edited online proof gallery of at least 50 images, delivered within one week. Senior photos are a rite of passage and mark a unique time of life! Besides being treasured family keepsakes, your senior can use his/her photos for graduation announcements, applications, social media, sorority rush, and whenever a headshot is needed.
Jennifer was fantastic to work with! She related to every person and was able to get shots that were just what we were hoping for. Jennifer was professional, flexible and had very high standards. We continue to work with her as we add employees. Working with Jennifer was delightful. Jennifer was able to put each of our employees at ease and take some of the best photos they have ever had taken.

Working with Jennifer was truly an enjoyable experience. From the moment we met her, she made our family feel relaxed and comfortable, creating an environment that caputired our true personalities. We absolutely loved the pictures she took, so much so that it was important to just choose a few. All the pictures were unique and beautiful, and she expertly choose locations at our selected sight that added to the photo shoot and the overall experience. We had so much fun and our so happy with the results that we are already planning our next session with Jen.

I am thrilled to endorse Jennifer Skinner's portrait services. She's wonderful to work with, professional and so talented. The photos she made of our family are treasures, we are so grateful to her for capturing our son's graduation experience so beautifully. From our initial conversation to her assistance with ordering prints, our experience with Jennifer was super.

We treasure the photos and she did a beautiful job capturing our children in a very authentic way. She is also very efficient and helpful, plus her turnaround was very fast!

Jen did an amazing job getting my camera shy teen to get super comfortable and relaxed. She made the whole shoot really fun, she chose a beautiful location, and the resulting shots were gorgeous! She is so easy to work with, super responsive, and her work is fantastic! I’m so happy to have these beautiful, professional photos of my daughter. Even better, my daughter loves them too!! Highly recommend Jen!

Jen recently took our team photo and individual headshots. We gave her no guidance whatsoever, and we changed the location at the last moment. Jen handled it all like a total pro and made the process easy and fun for all of us. And, of course, her pictures look great! We’ll definitely look forward to working with her again. Thank you, Jen!

We used Jennifer for our corporate photos and extremely happy with the results. Jennifer managed the whole process for us, from picking a great location, managing the schedule for people to attend and produced a lot of great photos. I highly recommend Jennifer and will definitely use her services again.
