please call me jen

new adventures, new recipes, new craft beers, new historical fiction novels...but most days you can find me doing the same old thing - pretending to be an Uber driver. I’m a wife to my favorite adventure partner, mama to an incredible teen (this is where the Uber driver comes in - soooooo. many. sports practices), dog mom to two intensely spoiled pups, and organizer of all the things (except my kitchen cabinets...do NOT peek in there). 

Enneagram tells me I'm a type 3 wing 2 - a caring, enthusiastic, perfectionist. I'm also super competitive with my family. I love an intense family game night, My husband has actually banned my daughter and I from playing UNO together (she's just as competitive as I am). I can't beat her on the soccer field, but I slay at UNO! 

I’m obsessed with travel, and not just the actual thing, I love planning a trip just as much. I like to randomly pick a spot on the map and research the adventure we could have in that location. I’d rather be working while travelling than have a vacation day at home. I frequently make lists and sometimes I have a master list of all of my other lists. My best friends would tell you I’m always prepared for anything that could go wrong. When I don’t have a camera in my hand, I am typically holding a backpack.

I have a boundless appetite for trying new things

I never miss a deadline. If I tell you your images will be delivered in two weeks - you'll have them in two weeks or sooner. You won't find me complaining on Insta about how busy I am, or how I just need a self care day. In fact, if I have a deadline coming up, you probably won't find me on social media at all. I carefully plan my time to best serve you. I love the creative process, and will correspond with you up to your shoot date about wardrobe, locations, posing, & all the things. But, I believe the creativity happens before and during the shoot, and productivity happens after. When the shoot is over, it's time to get to work. I don't watch television or listen to podcasts when I edit because I want to get lost in your story. You can count on me to produce consistent, quality work with every detail in place. 

Let’s Cut to the Chase, lemme tell you why I'm different

I'm not your average kinda  gal
