About Jenn

We cherish meaningful connections and thrive in the beauty of authentic, unfiltered moments.

Whether you’re drawn to timeless design, the ease of simplicity, or the absolute need to celebrate big milestones surrounded by family and friends, we no doubt share a love for those things that matter most in life.

And while I take my work seriously, I’ll never take myself too seriously— you will always find me laughing at myself, and doing whatever it takes to ease people’s nerves in front of the camera.

Timeless, heartfelt images that feel as honest as they are beautiful.

BACKGROUND

I’m equal parts artist and problem-solver, blending artistic, editorial, technical, and logistics expertise gathered over the last 20 years in the hospitality industry.

Let’s just say, this isn’t my first rodeo.

I didn’t grab a camera on a whim, I’ve spent years honing my craft, building real-world experience, and working in the high-stakes luxury events, philanthropy, and culinary spaces. Along the way I’ve built a network of incredible creative partners around the globe who always have my back (and yours).

We work closely with your creative team to ensure a flawless experience for you and your guests. Always.

“…Jenn has a unique ability to make everyone feel beautiful, comfortable, and valued. She captures each moment with such artistry and precision, and she’s always timely, responsive, and down-to-earth. If you have the chance to work with Jenn, you’re in for a real treat!”
