Welcome!

Welcome!

With over 10 years of experience as a professional photographer, I’m an expert at capturing candid smiles and I know all the great spots for epic backgrounds.

I’m proud to be a part of Alaska’s small-business economy as a licensed and insured entrepenuer. I am also a life-long student, and am always improving my knowledge and skills to better serve you.

If you think I might be the photographer for you, don't hesitate to reach out. I hope to see you in front of my lens soon, so I can capture your story! – Jenna

Sometimes the admin of running a business can feel Sometimes the admin of running a business can feel overwhelming - responding to emails, updating the budget, cleaning the studio, etc. But it’s all worth it when I can look back and say “I created that!” 

I’m so grateful for all of you who trust me with your memories and allow me to make a living capturing moments like these!
What if instead of just frolicking around a pretty What if instead of just frolicking around a pretty location I recommend, we plan your couples session around an activity you and your partner love doing together? 📸✨

🌊 A swim at the lake
🧺 A truck-bed picnic with all your favorite snacks
🏍️ 4-wheeling or horseback riding on your go-to trail
🍦 Enjoying an ice cream treat at your fave local spot
✈️ Even flying out somewhere (if one of you is a pilot!)

Let’s make it fun, authentic and YOU! I’ll capture all the adorable moments while we’re at it.

If that sounds like your dream, drop me a message and we’ll get it on the calendar!
Beyond the furniture, rugs, and throws I source fo Beyond the furniture, rugs, and throws I source for studio setups while scrolling Marketplace and thrifting, I’m always watching for those special items that will make a session extra fun. 

While the thrill of the find is addictive, the best part is imagining the memories each piece will be part of. Birthdays, holidays, senior year, new babies, milestones I haven’t even dreamed up yet. That’s what keeps me 🔎 Marketplace and 🛻 to the thrift shop, just to browse.

These are just some of the treasures I’ve scored for my prop inventory, which is included in my session rates. No upcharges, no “prop fees” — just another way I aim to make your experience with me a little more special. 💜

Drop an emoji to say which is your favorite or something I should be watching for!
Not every session goes according to plan — and tha Not every session goes according to plan — and that’s okay. 🌧️

The weather wasn’t cooperating, and their schedules didn’t leave much room to reschedule. So we went for it anyway. Muddy shoes, a muddy bum, one very unbothered little guy who handled it like a true Alaskan. 😄

Years from now, when he’s a teenager rolling his eyes at old photos, these are the ones his parents will smile about, because they chose to embrace the moment of him as a 2-year-old boy ready to play in the rain instead of waiting for everything to be perfect.

The secret to a good life is realizing you already The secret to a good life is realizing you already have it! Lucky for me, I truly do! 📸

Some days I’m crouched in the mud chasing the perfect angle, other days I’m dancing like a monkey to make the little ones laugh (the adults too — no shame here!). 

It’s truly a gift to be invited into your lives and document your milestones — big and small. Weddings, baby bumps, graduations, family portraits, and “just because” sessions — thank you for choosing me to capture your best moments.

Your support means I get to do what I love every day (and show off my questionable dance moves out in nature 🕺). I don’t take it for granted, not for one second. 

Here’s to more sweet moments, more laughter, and many more memories to come! 💜

My camera roll after ONE session 😅 Yes, that’s a My camera roll after ONE session 😅 

Yes, that’s a LOT of photos. I’m a proud over-shooter because I’d rather have 100 extra shots than miss one perfect candid moment.  More shots = more chances to catch the good stuff — the giggles, the candid glances, the moments you didn’t even know happened. 

That’s also why your gallery takes a couple of weeks to be delivered: I’m combing through allll of these to hand-pick THE BEST ones just for you. Good things take time (and a lot of scrolling) 💕

I know I’m not the only overachiever out here! Tell me what you always “overdo”! 👇
If I were a high school senior again, this is what If I were a high school senior again, this is what I’d want my senior portraits to look like! 

An alpine lake + wildflowers meadows, and snow capped mountains standing tall in the background. 🏔️ 

This pretty lady planned her senior photos while visiting friends here in AK because she wanted portraits that looked nothing like everyone else’s back home in Iowa. Smart move, honestly — there’s only so many cornfield backdrops one yearbook needs. 🌽

Class of 2027, if you want 🎓📸 that look like an adventure, you know where to find me. Slide into my DMs and let’s get you on a mountain before winter returns!

Alaska will test you — 8+ months of winter, golden Alaska will test you — 8+ months of winter, golden hour at 2 am, and no consideration for your aesthetic mood board. But it has my heart and is pure magic when the sunshine hits the mountains.

Alaskans: what’s the one thing that keeps you here despite it all?
The #1 reason you should plan a family session... The #1 reason you should plan a family session... is because one day, your children will hold onto photos the way you once held them. 

You don’t have to be at your goal weight. Everyone’s outfits don’t have to be perfectly coordinated. And it doesn’t have to be all stiff poses. I love to capture the little interactions between family members - the secret handshake between the oldest siblings, the pure giggle and squeal the youngest makes when daddy tickles them, and the goofy grins that show your kids real personalities. 

DM me to set a date before this season slips by — let’s create the memories your children will cherish when they’re grown.
Behind every sweet candid image I deliver is a lit Behind every sweet candid image I deliver is a little problem solving: I shift angles, coach posing, and edit out distracting elements that can’t be avoided so nothing steals the spotlight from you. 

The result: photos that feel like a relaxed memory focused on the people and the joy between them.

This location has a large radio antenna tower in the background, but I use my experience and skill to hide it behind my subjects or remove it in editing, while also touching up skin imperfections. Both are included on every image delivered as part my session rates, so you look like the best you throughout your gallery.
