family photos... but make it fun!

from tiny toes to stories you'll tell forever

You have enough on your plate right now, and family photos don't need to add to that! I'll keep things super simple so once you book you're date, I'll walk you through everything else, from choosing location and wardrobe to the day of your session!

I'm a family photographer in the Walnut Creek area. With over 10 years of experience photographing families (and 2 young girls of my own) I am dedicated to guiding families through their photography experience. I specialize in working with toddlers (and sympathizing with their tired moms). I truly love the joy and chaos they bring to sessions!

welcome!

"Jenn has a magical way with littles and her patience with our little enabled the most fun, most precious moments to be captured for us. We cannot say enough about how wonderful it is to work with Jenn and her photography speaks more than a thousand words each time!"

I work with families from the time they find out they are having their first baby, through the newborn stage and first year milestones, and for yearly photos after that! It's such an honor to see your family grow each year through my lens.

Choose a session in a beautiful East Bay outdoors location, from the comfort of your own home, or in my new Martinez studio! I'm here to guide you through the process.

All you have to do to start is reach out to me!
