New Hampshire & South Central Colorado Family Photographer
Specialized in creating heartfelt images of your family’s unique
Connection, Joy and Beauty
Lets keep it easy and fun while wrapping it up by including both digitals and prints to hold onto for years to come.
Family Sessions
Family sessions are the perfect way to capture where your family is at this moment in time. We will make sure to capture that classic smile at the camera portrait as well as have some fun with candids!
I love to have your session feel like family time playing and exploring together. I’ll help you choose one of the many amazing locations options based on the style you are hoping for. Don’t worry about the kids behaving (or your significant other) I’ll take care of all of that – just enjoy your time together.
These sessions are always done during the best light of the day. Outdoor sessions are the first 2 hours after sunrise or before sunset and indoor sessions are done any time of the day.
The Process
Booking your session
Contact me and we can go over everything! Fill out my quick form so I know where you are in this process. I will want to know your special requests, how we can make them happen and offer suggestions as well. I will check in with you along the way for any updates and guidance.
The day of the session
The day is here! If you are coming to the NH lakes region studio or if I am meeting you on location, please try to arrive 10 to 15 minutes early. Especially if little ones are joining us so we can all get comfortable with each other as well as any dressing or last minute prep. Most importantly, after rushing to get out of your house, its a time to just breath and lets have some fun!
Gallery review & ordering
After your session we will review your gallery of finished images and I’ll guide you through choosing your products for printing to be sure they don’t get pushed to the side for later. Everyone will walk away with digitals AND prints. (This takes place typically about 7-10 days after your session).
Pricing & Information
$175 Retainer fee at booking
The $175 Retainer Fee covers Jen’s time and talent and is required to reserve your session date and time.
Prints and digital products are purchased separately after you receive your gallery and have viewed your images. All Collections include both digital images and print credit starting at $350. This allows you the opportunity to view your images first and select what best suits your family.
Testimonial
“Jen was fantastic to work with. We were hesitant with little ones and weren't sure if any pictures would come out. Jen was absolutely amazing and very patient with them (even made them laugh with a little shuffle she did) we ended up getting WAY more pictures then expected. From beginning to end the communication and process working with Jen was very smooth and we look forward to working with her again in the future..“

“Jen was fantastic!! We had my family come up from Philadelphia and with my little niece and nephew plus my 5 month old taking pictures isn't easy. Jen was patient and made the kiddos laugh and made us feel welcomed. it didn't feel like a cookie cutter photoshoot but more of a party. She was very talented in the work she did and involved us in every detail along the way. I know I will call her for any photoshoots in the future. Give them a call check them out I guarantee you won't be disappointed!.“

Booking a photography session is easy. Simply reach out to me through my website, email, or phone. I will guide you through the process, discuss your requirements, and find a convenient date and time for your session.
Can we choose the location for our photo shoot?
Absolutely! I believe that the location plays a significant role in capturing unique and personalized photographs. Whether it's at your home, a scenic outdoor location, or at my NH studio, I am open to capturing your portraits in a place that holds meaning to you.
How long does a typical photo session last?
The duration of a photo session varies depending on the scope of the project. Family sessions range from 45-90 minutes, I strive to provide ample time to capture all the important moments and ensure you all feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the session.
How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?
I understand the anticipation of seeing your final portraits. My editing process typically takes 7-10 days, depending on the volume of images and the complexity of editing required. I prioritize quality and attention to detail to deliver exceptional images that exceed your expectations. Once they are complete, I will reach out to schedule your viewing appointment with me either in person or via zoom/teams.
What happens if the weather is unfavorable on the day of an outdoor shoot?
If the weather doesn't cooperate on the day of an outdoor shoot, we can discuss alternatives such as rescheduling the session or finding an indoor location. I want to ensure the best possible outcome for your portraits, and I am flexible in adapting to unforeseen circumstances.
Hi - I'm Jen!
Documenting your treasured life moments since 2008!
Welcome! I am so happy you are here and taking the first steps of looking for a professional photographer. Whether it be for your growing family, the beginning of your love story, or even to update your headshots, I hope to be the one to help you!
I started this journey rather haphazardly right out of high school in 1993 simply looking for a seasonal job to help pay for rent and that quickly lead me to a career in managing busy portrait studios. After starting my own family and quickly realizing working 10 and 12 hour shifts, missing so many treasured life moments of my own kids, I decided to break out and start my own business in 2008.
Decades later, with a ton of online, in person classes, certifications and self training, I am still here, loving every part of this. Meeting so many unique and beautiful people and helping to tell their stories is what keeps me coming back for more!
Let me help you transform life’s sweetest moments into both digital images to come back to forever and also tangible heirlooms to treasure in your hands (or on your walls) for a lifetime.
