here for the ugly cries, the secret glances and all the shrimp at cocktail hour.

HI, I'M JEN.

I'M MADE UP OF

A LITTLE AWKWARDNESS,

A LOT OF HEART AND

TOO MANY CARBS.

I know what you're thinking -- and you're totally right, no such thing as too many carbs. But we can talk about bread later, you're probably here because you're looking for the right person to take your picture.

A bit about me -- I'm a queer wedding + elopement photographer based in the Catskills of New York. I live with my partner, Kimberlee, our two dogs and our two cats. I love the five of them very, very much. My interests range from kayaking to cooking to smutty romance novels to yoga to petting dogs to magic to buying records. I secretly wish I could be a dancer (spoiler: I am very clumsy) or a fly fisherwoman (am signed up for lessons, fingers crossed).

Photography is very personal to me -- it came into my life at a time when I was a bundle of anxiety and presented me with a new perspective -- seeing others in an intimate, sincere space allowed me to finally see myself. It's been a critical piece of my own healing, and really - it's just an honest piece of me, like my arms or the way I say 'melk' instead of milk. AND NOW - being the Cancer that I am, I will shimmy back into my hard crab shell and loop about oversharing.
