Hi, I'm Jenn!

San Francisco Bay Area Professional Photographer

 

I've been self-employed and self-taught for over 14 years in various disciplines—13 of those in photography—for me, this is a business, not a hobby. Like many other entrepreneurs, I set out to create the services I couldn't find, hoping others would resonate with them. To give you the best client experience, I work with a limited number of clients each month.


It doesn't matter if it's branding or your dog—everyone deserves to feel seen and heard.


I'm a high-touch, high-context photographer, which means working with me is an experience, not a "show up and take pretty photos" kind of shoot. I want to get to know you, your brand, your biggest dreams, your dog, so I can show up ready to take those pretty photos, AND you can relax knowing you're in good hands. The high-context portion shows up in environmental portraits and storytelling sets—backgrounds give essential info to the viewer, and I'm not going to blur them out to oblivion.


Throughout the process, I'm with you every step of the way. I book, shoot, and edit all my photos. I have no assistants, and I don't outsource work. My editing is done with a professional but realistic touch, and my turnaround is fast.


If you're wondering why there are so many words on a photographer's website...in my other work life, I'm a writer and photographer in the specialty coffee industry (for the last 13 years).

Working with people who love what they do is my inspiration

When someone is passionate about their work and interests, it's infectious. It makes you want to chase your own dreams and lift others along with you.

I've spent a decade working as a marketing consultant, photographer, and writer. In 2023, I realized that my career interests had changed and that I needed more hands-on creative work: I may have let go of marketing consulting, but I bring that perspective and eye to all my branding and event shoots (especially marketing activations!).

I am fired up about helping others build their small businesses in an authentic & strategic way.

You deserve to have the best parts of yourself reflected in the camera

I’m most excited when I work with historically marginalized people, including women, non-binary folks, and people of color. I’ve found that these groups are more likely to have been told that they’re not enough, to shrink themselves to fit some outdated expectation, to be quiet.

Also? Having an accurate, glowing skin tone is essential to me—too many photographers dull out melanated skin.

I aim to create a space of trust for my clients to feel safe, seen, and heard.

[Responsibly] adopt, don't shop

For over two decades, I've volunteered with animal shelters, rescues, and wildlife rehab centers. I'm a firm believer in adopting, using positive reinforcement, and treating pets like the treasured family members they are.

While I love dogs of all sizes, I'm most fond of medium to large breeds, pitbulls/pit-mixes, and those working through behavioral issues like reactivity and anxiety.

I've donated my photo services to California Bully Rescue with adoption & event photos and City Grazing for a calendar fundraiser.

A Little More About Me

Food is my love language

I'm an introvert and newly discovered Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), which I used to think would hinder my interests in writing and photography. But instead, it's become a superpower for drawing people and their stories out in a way that still feels true to them.
