Hello, I am Jen.

Living in a small tourist town along Lake Michigan, there are abundant opportunities for photo sessions at beautiful locations in any season. The Silver Lake Sand Dune area offers beaches, farms, orchards, and small-town charm, a perfect backdrop for your family photos. Up and down the shoreline, I photograph sessions in Mears, Silver Lake Sand Dunes, Hart, Pentwater, Ludington, and Muskegon.

Everyday, old-fashioned kind of love for hearth and home, wild weather and roaming the hills, and finding beauty in your family all inspire me. It brings me joy to help you recall these moments.

I bring with me years of photography and editing skills to bless you with artistically edited photos consistent with my style. You'll receive a gallery full of images that are ALL yours! Not only do you get to download and keep these images, but every full session will also receive a short family film and a gallery app to place right on your digital devices to keep these photos with you wherever you go.

Jen, the mama behind the lens

As a mama of a half-dozen babies, it took no time at all for me to realize that time with these precious ones is fleeting. Oh, if it were possible to freeze time! It’s true: they grow up so fast. It is my joy to help families capture moments and milestones, the ordinary days and the extraordinary days in life. Whether your season is hectic or smooth, sleepless and messy, or joyful and lovely, these photos will draw back to the cherished moments with your loved ones. Time is a thief, but I can help you capture these precious people before these fleeting moments change. You'll be so thankful when you see your beautiful images.

I am a natural light photographer, capitalizing on all the sunlight that floods into our sessions. My goal is to help you savor forever your family’s unique authentic connections as a relaxed lifestyle photographer. All of those genuine emotions and joys of being together need to be documented with mama in the photos using natural prompts and interactions. What mama wouldn’t want that? Instead of being stressful, photo sessions should be viewed as an adventure and a shared experience with your loved ones.

I serve the Almighty King, I know the love of a good man, and I'm a homeschooling mama to 6 rambunctious children. I believe in building families and legacies, reclaiming feminity, and embracing simpler ways.
