Hey there! I’m Jen, a Cape Coral native, wife, mom of four, and a full-time photographer. My journey with photography has been more than just a career—it’s been a way to freeze time and create lasting memories for amazing families. Whether I’m capturing newborn snuggles, first birthdays, or big family milestones, my goal is always the same: to give you photos that make your heart happy every time you look at them.

Homegrown in Cape Coral
I’ve lived in Cape Coral my whole life, and I love this community. Watching it grow and change over the years has been incredible. I know all the hidden gems for photo sessions, from dreamy beaches to lush parks, and it’s so fun to share these beautiful spots with my clients.
My Artistic Roots
Before becoming a photographer, I studied interior design and photography in art school. It gave me such a great foundation for what I do now, blending creativity with attention to detail. Every session is like a blank canvas—I get to bring it to life with light, color, and all those little moments that make your family unique.
Life as a Mom (and Why I Get It)
Being a mom of four (two teenage boys and a 9-year-old daughter) means I totally understand the chaos and beauty of family life. I’ve been there—worrying about what everyone’s going to wear, making sure the kids behave, and just hoping to get one good picture. That’s why I make my sessions relaxed and fun. It’s not about perfection; it’s about capturing real, genuine moments that tell your story.
More Than Just a Job
Photography is my passion, but I’m also a businesswoman at heart. I’m always working on new projects, whether it’s creating guides for other photographers or brainstorming fun themed sessions. It keeps me inspired and helps me give my clients something fresh and exciting every time.
Why My Clients Rock
I’ve been lucky to work with the best clients who trust me to document their most special moments. People tell me I make them feel comfortable in front of the camera, which is such a compliment because I know how awkward it can feel at first! I live for those little in-between moments—the giggles, the hugs, the way your toddler looks at you—and I make sure those are the ones that shine in your gallery.
Outside the Studio
When I’m not behind the camera, I’m probably hanging out with my family, binge-watching something on Netflix, or planning our next little getaway (we aim for two trips a year). I’m also obsessed with Halloween—it’s hands down my favorite time of year—and I love experimenting with easy, creative recipes in the kitchen.
