Welcome to my blog!

Just in case you landed here first, let me introduce myself…Hi, I’m Jen! Wedding, Portrait, and Real Estate Photographer based in Northern California (Redding, California to be precise!).

I photograph beautiful destination weddings all over California and beyond. I also photograph families each year which is so special to me, being able to watch each family grow year by year! And in between portraits and weddings…I photograph gorgeous North State homes showcasing amazing craftsmanship, stunning views, and modern home designs.

I’m so glad you’re here! Hope you enjoy browsing the blog!
