For passionate people with a story to tell
These are family portraits that capture your deep connection to one another, that portray the way your lives intertwine and the ease you feel around one another. I tailor the itinerary, activities, locations and wardrobe to suit your family’s favourite ways to spend time together, creating memories that match the beauty of the photographs.
1. You don’t have to plan a thing, I do that for you!
I have all the tricks to get to know your favourite things about each family member and then capture those feelings in captivating photographs.
That moment when you pause to reflect on all the specific things you love about each soul in your family, how you all intertwine, is transformative!
I’ll send you a plan for the shoot, including personalized ideas for everything from location to itinerary.
2. no-stress wardrobe
You’ve got us, experts at coordinating colours, styles, and textures for whatever season we’re in.
We help you choose your colours with seasonal Mood Boards that contain outfit inspiration. We’re even be available by text to send photos to so we can help you select final wardrobe choices or be your virtual shopping buddy.
We’ll take care of you!
3. Memories with you in them!
You want to remember each fleeting phase of your beautiful children, and you want your children to remember you!
We make sure everyone feels incredibly comfortable and that we create a memory-making experience for the most meaningful, intimate portraits of your relationship with your children.
4. Digital Photos for Download
Because it’s exactly what I would want, I give you all of the final, edited images from your shoots (even the mini-sessions!) to download to your hard drive. They’ll be delivered to you in an online gallery from which you can even order fine art prints.
While we only spent a short amount of time with Jennie during our spring blossom mini session, she made us feel comfortable, got us laughing, and brought out a joyful energy in our photo shoot.
While having a photo shoot isn't something we normally do, the pictures turned out wonderful and we are so pleased! I highly recommend Jennie for all your photography needs. She will make your photos come alive!
We wanted family photos done before our daughter’s first birthday to capture our favourite things about her. Working with Jennie was a great experience, she helped us with choosing outfits and chose a perfect location that was nice and shady since it was a hot day.
The shoot itself was great, Jennie caught our organic interactions with our daughter, and some adorable solo moments.
The result was a gallery of photos we love to look at and share with family and friends! We are so glad to have photos that capture our favourite faces and overall personality of our little girl. Jennie has been a pleasure to work with, so helpful and accommodating!
I can't speak highly enough about how much Jennie put everyone at ease getting our spring family photos done. From helping us choose outfits we would all be comfortable in, to being so accommodating to our shift working schedule, it was all so smooth.
The communication leading to the photos was above and beyond. Jennie really took the time to answer any and all my questions, even last minute ones. She showed she truly cared and set the photos up for success from first contact. The background and evening were just perfect. We will cherish these photos for years to come.
Jennie was absolutely amazing to work with. She took the time to get to know my family and was very helpful with outfit selection and planning before the shoot.
On the day of the shoot, my son was not in the greatest mood and did not want to have his picture taken. Jennie was so patient and encouraging and just allowed my family to be us while she took pictures of us in the moment. The photos I received were all amazing and I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. I can’t wait to have Jennie take more of our family photos in the future!
Photos can show the sweet memories that I want to remember and cherish later on, and instead of trying to force the kids to stand still and smile, Jennie made this shoot about interacting and having fun. The kids all had so much fun, they said they wanted to do it again!
We had a great experience with the motherhood shoot, and I would recommend it to anyone. The photos turned out amazing and I will cherish them forever and ever! If I had to use one word to describe the experience it would be love. I felt the love Jennie had for our family and how much she enjoyed photographing us, and the photos show the love that I have for my kids and the love they have for me.
Jennie was so incredibly patient with us and was attentive to all the sweet little details and magical moments we shared that night. We had so much fun adventuring with her and felt so at ease, it was like we were catching up with an old friend.
She is a wonderfully kind and genuine woman and we were so blessed to have her immortalize this beautiful night for us in photographs. It was relaxing, uplifting and fun! We were so blessed to share this magical night together. Thank you so much for bringing our vision into fruition so beautifully and for your incredible talent.
Jennie is an incredibly humble, kind, easy going and patient person and she always brings her best qualities when taking and editing your photos. Working with her is a blessing and you know your pictures are going to reflect the true and natural moments in your life that you are hoping to capture.
I am so grateful to Jennie for capturing what I believe to be a true reflection of our personalities and family, and can't wait to work with her again in the years to come. I have always said she is our photographer for life and we continue to come back and book her for all of our life events. I am all too happy to invest in a photographer that I know and loves to capture these moments in time for us.
What a blessing that I was able to find Jennie! I knew she was the one and the day we met was the most amazing day, Jennie was so wonderful in helping us get the feel that I wanted in the pictures.
She made us and my boys feel sooo comfortable. We actually had the best time taking the pictures and laughing together. The moments she captured are just priceless, I can’t believe she was able to capture exactly how we feel about each other and each personality of our boys. I will treasure these beautiful pictures for the rest of my life!

HELLO, I’m JENNIE
YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR
Nothing is more important than the love and acceptance we create for our children, even as we are creating that space for our own tender hearts.
Being a parent has cracked my soul wide open. We are wholly transformed by our children’s tender and mighty love, and because you’re here, I know you believe this too.
I see every facet that makes up who you are. We are and feel so many things, our story is made up of all these threads, woven together, and I capture it all.
Let’s create breathtaking, messy, stunning portraits of sincere devotion.
We absolutely love our family photos by Jennie, she is truly a talented photographer & artist. She is very professional & makes you feel comfortable, and is genuinely the nicest person. Our family has had family photos done twice by her, and they are the best photos we have ever had taken! We will be back for more in the future, we are very happy clients!
