i see you, now you see me! Hi there - I'm Jenny.  Just a couple things about me...

  • I have an unhealthy, but happy relationship with caffeine and ice cream.
  • I am a total insomniac and I get a ton of work done at 3 a.m.
  • I have the coolest 3 1/2 year-old on the planet.
  • One of my dogs sucks her thumb.
  • Your photos are not about me or my 'art'.  I believe my job is to show your awesomeness.
  • There isn't one aspect of my job that I don't like.  I even feel weird calling it a 'job' sometimes.

I think it's important that you not only like your photographer's work, but that you actually like your photographer.

Spending the day at Alderbrook Resort on the Hood Canal for Erin & Dustin's wedding was a huge treat for me.  I love Alderbrook - it is one of my most favorite wedding venues and Erin & Dustin are definitely one of my most favorite couples.  I arrived at Erin's suite to join her getting ready with her sisters and mom.  Her mother said some of the sweetest things to her - it was just the beginning of many happy tears throughout the day. Dustin was so excited to see her - his tears started even before he turned around at their first look.  We had so much fun together playing out on the grounds - they even dipped their toes off the dock for me!  The awesome Annemarie Juhlian was their officiant (and the reason I met E & D!) - she passed their rings around to all of the guests before the ceremony started so that their friends and family could put some good energy on them - so very cool.  After their beautiful ceremony, everyone gathered below the deck for a group photo and then headed in for the yummiest brunch (yes, bacon.  bacon good.)  There were touching toasts and a totally yummy cake.  A lot of couples chat during their 'first dance', but Dustin sang to Erin almost the whole time.  Erin's parents gave her a necklace right before her dad danced with her and I noticed another father dancing with his little girl over in the corner - that just about got me.  The whole day was just so sweet and I am so glad to have been part of it!

Hi, Jenny, Erin and Dustin made such a wonderful decision to have you photograph their wedding. The pictures are spectacular! One of my very favorites is the black and white photo of Erin and Dustin nose to nose and eye to eye with pure delight reflected in their faces. To capture such a intimate moment between two people is a lasting gift. Thank you so much Janelle

Halloween this year was extra sweet.  Lily maintained her desire to be Tinkerbell for over three months and was so excited to get her costume and makeup on...she even let me do her hair (a huge treat for mama).

Remember what Peter Pan said ~

"Think of the happiest things...it's the same as having wings...all it takes is faith and trust...and a little bit of pixie dust..."

Words can't describe the awesomeness that is Ashley, JJ & their wedding crew.  I'm going to let  the photos show it...  The day was great - Tibbets Creek Manor is really pretty - Ashley and her girls were ready to roll when I got there.  The colors Ashley chose were brilliant...orange shoes...all the fallen crunchy leaves...just fabulous.  We had bees continuously bugging us during photos so at the end we took time out to do a 'primal scream' - so much fun.  There was even a 2-point deer that showed up during photo time.  They had wood-fired pizza made right there at the manor (yum) and in addition to their cake from Kingsleys, JJ's grandmother made a super yummy coconut cake.  I totally love this couple - can't wait to hang out with them again and again!!

The pictures turned out so unique and beautiful!! I love the soft focusing (I think that's what it's called ;)) It's so hard to pick out a favorite, but I really liked the one with Ashley sitting on the curb with her bridesmaids and the one of Ashley and JJ kissing in the branches.
