Photography you can feel
It engages all the senses in a way that traditional portraits cannot. It evokes emotions with its time machine-like quality. They capture not just the visual details but also encapsulate the atmosphere, emotions, and sensory experiences that were present in that fleeting instant.
These photos gain even more significance over time. As memories naturally fade or blur around the edges, a candid photograph serves as a tangible anchor to a specific moment in your cherished history.
We encourage documentary-style photography for a reason.
With packages crafted to capture and celebrate your unique story, we specialize in preserving the precious moments that define your journey. Whether you are celebrating the joy of a new arrival, capturing the bustling energy of childhood, or commemorating the wisdom and grace of elder years, we are committed to embracing diverse families at every stage of life.

The Family Story
When it comes to family photos, organizing it all can be overwhelming. Where do we start? Who do we hire? Where should we shoot? What if our kids are total terrors that day? We know the drill and will help you calm the chaos. That being said, some of the best photos come from keeping things real. Isn’t that what this is all about? Capturing the reality of this wild, yet amazing time in your lives?
With our Family Story package, we assist families in planning the right location, keeping things light and fun, and ensuring that this experience is as simple and stress free as possible.
Our kids grow up so quickly, and capturing these passing moments is such a beautiful way to preserve these sweet moments forever.

This package is perfect for families and connected individuals who value their relationships above all else.
The Companion Story
The Companion Story was created to celebrate the life and deep connection you share with your pet, not just a farewell. This story was made for those who view their pet as a true family member. We capture families enjoying walks to their favorite spots, sharing kisses on cheeks, and playing with their favorite toys. You do not have to wait until your pets are in their final days to capture these precious moments together.

“What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes a part of us.”
Named in honor of Jenni’s mom and inspired by our deeply personal experiences, the Donna Story chronicles the journey of a loved one nearing the end of life.
As life moves forward and circumstances change, these photographs become touchstones of our personal history. They evoke a sense of continuity and connection with our past selves and dearest family members.
Every family is unique and has different needs in this circumstance, and we are highly sensitive to this. Our role is not to intrude, but rather to respectfully bear witness to the profound connection you share.
We quietly observe your natural interactions and capture these precious moments together. Prior to the stories, we will discuss all the details so that when we're together, you can simply cherish moments with your loved one.
Each individual holds value, and their story is significant. These photographs serve as a tool for remembering, honoring, and creating a sense of peace and joy surrounding a season that feels impossible.

“Forever grateful for the gentleness Jenni showed us.”
"Jenni documented my oldest daughter's very last story, and the most important story to us. The images Jenni captured will forever be cherished and displayed. One day you may have nothing but those pictures and memories, and I guarantee they will be your most prized possession. We are forever grateful for the gentleness Jenni showed us during the session and she truly has a talent for what she does. If you haven't already, regardless of the story, book it."
