ABOUT JEN:
Named “best for outdoor family photography” in DC, I am a photographer specializing in on-location headshots, family portraits and events.
I am originally from California and am currently based in the DC Metro area.
I am someone who has an eye not only for detail but for capturing moments that are often overlooked. I value discretion, as well as connect beyond the surface with my clients. I find intricate patterns and mesmerizing detail in objects that we walk by every day without a second glance; my work brings a consciousness to the invisible, yet amazing landscape that surrounds us.
Some of my clients include: Curiosity Stream, FIA, Woodmont Country Club, plus many family portraits, mitzvahs, and celebrations.
I have been featured multiple times in Inspired Magazine and my custom designed paper goods have been included in the Hirshhorn Museum in one of their pop-up stores. My photographs of DC’s Call Boxes have been featured in Politics and Prose’s in-house journal, District Lines.
