Tahoe Queen Wedding | Gena & Joel

Friday, September 3, 2010 Posted in Wedding

Gena and Joel have been together for 10 years, and this July I had the opportunity to document their beautiful wedding in Lake Tahoe. The ceremony and reception took place on board the Tahoe Queen. Such a neat idea! There were gorgeous, ever changing views of the lake and surrounding mountains the entire time.

Desert Botanical Gardens Engagement | Erika & Mike

Saturday, February 13, 2010 Posted in Engagement

Recently, I met up with Erika & Mike at the Desert Botanical Gardens. Erika and Mike enjoy the gardens a lot, so we thought it would be a perfect place for their engagement session. These two never stop laughing. They are such a fun couple to be around. I look forward to their wedding in May at the Scottsdale Marriot!

Remembering to be Thankful

Thursday, November 26, 2009 Posted in Personal

This time of year is hard for me, the consummate deal-finder.  The onslaught of emails, ads, and twitters offering promotions are so tempting, it makes it hard to remember what this holiday is really all about.

I am thankful for so much: my husband and two wonderful kids, my health, my friends, clients, and the country in which I live.

Wishing you and your loved ones a very happy day of thanks,
Jen

San Pedro Chapel Wedding | Courtney & Rich

Friday, October 9, 2009 Posted in Wedding

Last weekend I packed up the family and headed down to Tucson to photograph Courtney and Rich’s wedding.  Tucson is such a great city.  It just feels so authentic and not so ‘city’ like Phoenix.  Courtney picked the cutest chapel to get married in.  The San Pedro Chapel is a newly restored quaint mission style chapel in the heart of Tucson.  Let’s just say it inspired me.  Every nook and cranny of the place was beautifully rustic.  I had so much fun shooting there!

One thing was apparent to me as the day went on, Courtney and Rich are truly meant to be with one another. And everyone at the wedding will attest to that.

Courtney loves gelato, so why not have it at the reception?

Malaga Cove Plaza Portraits | Yenne Family

Wednesday, September 23, 2009 Posted in Portraits

While in California recently, I met up with the Yenne family. The weather was beautiful and we headed to the Malaga Cove Plaza for a fun family portrait session. Andrew was a doll! He loved being in front of the camera and playing with his parents. Thanks to the Yenne’s for a great portrait session!

September 28, 2009 - 10:20 pm Kristi Riley - Love the pictures!

September 24, 2009 - 9:23 am glenn fletcher - Great photos, but my reason for writing is the family name,Yenne. My grandmother was a Yenne, and the name is uncommon, so we must be related. If the Yenne family would see this they could check out my web site. They may have old family photos for me and I may have some for them. Glenn

September 23, 2009 - 9:39 pm Rena - Love the pictures, especially the smiles & 3 pairs of big brown eyes in the last shot.

September 23, 2009 - 7:01 pm Ruth Meyer - The pictures are magnificent.

September 23, 2009 - 5:48 pm Nicole - Can't thank you enough! These are so beautiful!

Another Year Older, Another Year Wiser

Thursday, August 27, 2009 Posted in Personal

Or at least I hope I am. Every year I feel like I am learning more and more, and then I will forget how to spell the word ‘the’ or the three things I need to buy at the supermarket. Age is kind of funny that way. What do you do? All I know is that I love my life more and more every day and am so thankful that I have such wonderful people to share it with!

I will leave you with a picture from my first birthday party. I am the one in the wooden highchair hoarding all the chocolate cake. Thirty-two years later it is still my favorite. Happy birthday to me.
