Hi, I'm Jen...dog lover, sarcasm enthusiast, workout junkie, and whiskey aficionado.  What am I doing right now you ask?  I'm probably cooking, listening to Jason Aldean, sipping on a Crown and Coke, while laughing at clips of Sebastian Maniscalco on my phone.

I am happily married to my husband Eric, have 2 beautiful stepdaughters (Sienna 10, Vivienne 7), and am a proud fur mama to my pups Henry and Mike.  I am a Chicagoland girl, but my heart will always belong to Arizona...I swear it will be my home one day!  My favorite hobbies include working out, enjoying all kinds of music, watching funny movies, cooking, and of course, never being on time for anything...evvvvver.  I absolutely love a clean house, clean car, jumping on FaceTime with my hilarious 3-yr old Goddaughter, and a scalding hot shower that isn't rushed.  Word to the slow drivers out there...move TF over!  Lol.  Keep scrolling to read more about me and my approach to photography.

ABOUT

I believe in celebrating the moments that you feel the
most like yourself.

I have been a high school math teacher for 16 years and have been extremely fortunate to work with amazing colleagues and students.  But since I have been very young, I have had such a profound passion for photography.  Yet as much as I love to shoot, edit, and bring my photos to life, it is truly the people that make me love it as much as I do.  Whether it's getting to meet new people, growing with families over time, or having a blast and laughing with clients of all walks of life, it's always been the people that make me strive to be the best version of me.  Delivering genuine, timeless, authentic photographs...well, that's just the icing on the cake!

a few OTHER FAMILY FUN FACTS: 

My husband was a former NCAA Champion Wrestler at the University of Illinois.  I'm pretty sure I can still beat him in a pull-up contest though ;)

He used to be kinda tough.

Sienna and Vivienne continue to blow me away...girls, please stop growing up so fast!

I am lucky to be a stepmom to these 2 beautiful girls.

What mix of breeds are my 2 rescue pups Henry and Mike?  Great question.  All I know is that they seemingly look identical, but one happens to be almost double the size as the other.  Love these boys!

Pawtners in Crime.

Your photos do not just belong on your phone.

 I believe

As a photographer, nothing is more gratifying than seeing the inside of a client's home displaying the memories that we've made together.

Almost any wine is good so long as it’s open.
