Your story is worth telling and you are worth celebrating - right now, just as you are. If you march to the beat of your own drum, challenge tradition, and are learning to unconditionally love yourself, you belong in front of my camera.
All genders, sexual orientations, ethnicities, sizes, and abilities are welcome here!
Let me tell you a little of my own story. I’m queer, nonbinary, and neurodivergent. I have an eye for detail, an empathetic heart, and a love for connecting with people. I’ve been on a self-love journey for many years as I discovered my most authentic self, and it makes my heart so happy when I get to watch people leave their time with me loving themselves a little more. All my services are intentionally designed to build trust and eliminate any nerves so you feel as comfortable and confident as possible throughout our time together.
I have a wide range of customizable offers to fit every need. Whether you’re in the market for couples or engagement photography, family photography, elopement and wedding photography, or creative portrait photography, we can collaborate to build a package that fits YOU perfectly.
Your heart, your experiences, and the people you love have molded you into someone utterly singular… and I can’t wait to meet you.
Your search for an affirming photographer who gives you a major confidence boost is over.
Hey, I’m Jenni!
Becca (they/them) & Kirat (she/her)
As a queer couple, when my Spouse and I started our search for a photographer we were very clear about two things - that it was important to us to utilize local, LGBTQ+ vendors as much as possible, and that we wanted to have someone on our team that would help up create (and capture) the vision for our event and ceremony that was still being fleshed out. Jenni was such a perfect fit for us! Our ceremony was semi-elopement and a little complex with many parts and Jenni did such an incredible job of understanding our vision and capturing the moments so beautifully. Jenni even put together our photo backdrop for our celebration dinner later that evening and it was so perfect. These are the priceless things you can’t quite anticipate when you choose a photographer, but Jenni really came through for us in so many ways.
When I look at the photos they are so alive, little moments we could have forgotten immortalized in the photos and we will treasure them forever.”

Working with Jenni was so much fun! If it wasn't already clear from the photos on their website and socials - their enthusiasm, and passion for the work they do shines through in every interaction from the initial email, to the day of shooting! Not only do my husband and I have gorgeous photos, but Jenni made it such a fun process! I hate having photos taken of me - especially full body, but Jenni was able to capture my husband, and my personalities and, dare I say make me feel BEAUTIFUL in front of the camera. If you're looking for an inclusive, creative, and truly genuine person to work with, then look no further! My only wish is that I had found Jenni sooner so I could've had them photograph our wedding!
I've never laughed more, and have never felt so instantly comfortable.

Jenni was truly amazing. Our communication was super open and she answered my 1,000,000 questions so I was prepared for anything. We did a very relaxed and casual couples photo session (which turned into a surprise proposal!!!!).
My partner and I are both neurodivergent so having to take photo after photo usually is an unpleasant experience for us, but truly Jenni made it an experience that we both enjoyed.
Our friends and family have raved about our gallery, and I will be singing Jenni’s praises for as long as I walk this earth.
My partner and I are neurodivergent - Jenni made [our session] an experience that we both enjoyed!”

For our wedding, it was important for my wife and I to have queer owned businesses with strong organization skills, human first approaches and professionalism as vendors. Jenni gave us everything we wanted and more. From our first call, they were super responsive to all emails, shared timelines and followed up exactly as they said they would. What really was amazing was how much Jenni became part of the celebration and put people at ease so we got very real and genuine photos of our guests having a good time. We got so many compliments from our guests about how awesome Jenni is.

It was one of the most affirming things I've ever done! Getting pictures taken is often a stressful experience because feel pressure to show up as either masculine or feminine without much room between. With Jenni, I had a chance to design the shoot from the ground up with her.
The result was a set of photos that felt truly and uniquely like me instead of a forced, constricted version of me. And on TOP of all of that, Jenni is a FANTASTIC person to spend an afternoon with!
