“ Embrace the chaos. It will be over too soon. ”
(Jennifer Shanley)
I’m Jen, a natural light, family and portrait photographer
I’m a photographer who loves capturing life’s joyful moments
As a mom of three, I’ve been taking photos of my kids from the sidelines at games to their wild personalities on "vacation". I don’t fear the chaos; I embrace it. Those moments are when our kids show themselves for who they really are – and as they grow and change, let’s freeze those moments and save them forever.
I want to meet you where you are – a screaming toddler? Kids are wrestling in the grass and covered in mud? Bring it on. Life isn’t perfect, and your photos should be unique to you.
Fact 1
I was born and raised in Maryland so I had to adjust to long, cold winters and learned to ski at 40.
Fact 2
I've had a camera in my hands since I was a kid. My first camera was a Canon A1 film camera and taking pictures has been a part of my life ever since.
Fact 3
I claim to be an introvert and I think that makes me a better photographer. I'm not creating the perfect shot, I'm watching and looking for it to happen.
Fact 4
I like making things look nice and for people to be happy so if I can give you that one photo, that makes your heart swell, you've made my day too.
