I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE
Hi there, thank you for taking a look at what I have to offer! I am a Metro Detroit and destination wedding & portrait photographer with a deep love for all things pretty. I am a true believer that your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime, over the moon, grand-slam event that deserves to be treasured and documented with a fine appreciation for all of the details that you have lovingly dreamt into reality. You should be able to truly enjoy every second of your special day. After all, it's a masterpiece that celebrates the official union of your heart and your partner's... which is why I strive to provide not just photos, but an experience.
I love working with joyful couples who laugh freely, binge-watch Netflix together, read a book cover-to-cover in one sitting, and share a love that's deep in kindness & respect. I know that there are so many choices to make when it comes to your wedding, so I genuinely appreciate your consideration. When the time comes for you to choose your wedding & portrait photographer, I'm sure you'll find the right fit.. just like you did when you said 'Yes!'
I work hard to deliver joyful, fresh, natural images of your once-in-a-lifetime event that you will treasure always and share for generations to come. I can't wait to hear from you!
My philosophy is simple. I take beautiful photos of your special day. The precious moments and looks that you'll want to cherish for always. The ones that you'll frame in your home for years to come.
about Jennifer
Hi there! I'm Jennifer, a Metro Detroit, Michigan & destination portrait and wedding photographer. I grew up in Alaska and was based in Northern Michigan, covering mostly Traverse City and Grand Rapids area for 9 years until our recent move to Metro Detroit! I have traveled throughout the country to document once-in-a-lifetime moments with timeless images & I always love a new adventure!
My goal is always to capture your story with some romance, some spice, and all of the little details that come together to make the experience nothing short of magical.
I'm a raised-on-an-island type of adventurous, fearless, sweet-hearted soul with some serious passion for love and family above all else.

My Work
First and foremost, let's be friends. I believe that in getting to know you both, we can work together seamlessly on your big day and feel comfortable in a time that can bring some nervous excitement.
The best way to achieve wrinkle-free is a plan - the process, the experience, the memories that will be made that you can re-live every time you flip through your wedding day album or admire that photo on your living room wall.
It all starts with a hello.
Oh my gosh, I'm so excited! Whether your wedding is grand and luxurious or small and intimate, it's all about YOU. Your day should authentically and genuinely reflect exactly that!
You love pretty things.
You are full of spirit.
You crave a meaningful experience.
You value time, energy & effort.
You want your photos to reflect who you are.

"Our photos are STUNNING! Jennifer is truly talented! We are SO thankful for the generosity and the love she put into our day. We are so grateful."
Matt & Maria

"Our photos were done super last minute and we didn't really have a plan for the shoot, but Jen was able to find the perfect location and poses to make the entire thing flawless. We have showed these photos off endlessly, and are so happy with how well they represented our relationship! I wouldn't hesitate to have photos done with her again."

"Jen's personality is one in a million. We gained a forever friend. The weather was hot & our son was impatient but he loved her! At the end of our session he didn't hesitate to have her pick him up and laid his head on her shoulder like he'd known her forever. Our photos turned out beautifully. I now have a gallery of pictures to cherish with our Rainbow Baby. I highly recommend Jen! She is patient, kind and so funny. We are so grateful to have her be a part of our journey for a lifetime."
