more than a photographer

Let go of perfect. Embrace the beauty in the hard. 

As an adoptive mom; I have been in your shoes. I understand the nerves, excitement, and joy. As an adoption photographer, I have attended all kinds of adoption hearings in many different courthouses. I’m at ease in that setting and more than anything I want to create for you a safe place to experience all of the pain and joy that day brings. I am here for you.


I know how monumental finalization day is… and how heartbreaking it is at the same time.

“Jenni’s amazing at capturing the precious moments we normally overlook. The moments nobody else sees or even thinks to photograph. Her photos tell a story and capture so much emotion and love.”

Jenni’s amazing at capturing the precious moments we normally overlook.

– Danielle

 "Jenni has captured the truth of what family has become for us because she comes from a place of lived experiences. From newborn pictures of our daughter, to keeping up with an energetic toddler and baby to capture family moments at White River Gardens, or the long-awaited and overwhelming adoption day of our son, to our forever family live action pictures that captured my childrens' true character! These are moments in time that she gave us."

These are moments in time that she gave us.
