I’m Jen, and I grew up here- I’ve never really wanted to be anywhere else. I’m a dog and horse-lover, wildly sarcastic because it’s fun, an appreciator of cicadas, and I really belong in the country. I speak mostly in movie quotes and, for better or worse, have the heart of a creator, which is always scrabbling to make some new kind of art from nothing. You shouldn’t feel like you have to laugh at my jokes, but you probably will (because you’re a little uncomfortable). I can be found yelling, “That’s a myth!” around a mouthful of food when I hear someone across the room say they aren’t photogenic.

And I’m obsessed- not, not in a healthy way- with the kind of vibrant, true-to-life imagery that sticks with you all your life. Sharing it with others, in mediums that last- beautiful archival-quality prints and albums that you can pass on through your family through the ages- makes my weird little heart happy. I believe in the legacy of photographs.

You deserve to be photographed just as you are now: perfectly imperfect and absolutely beautiful.
