Hi!I'm Jenni.
Look no further, because I'm here: the queer photographer of your dreams! Growing up, I never really saw people like me in mainstream media. I'll be real with you - that's the main reason why I didn't end up coming out of the closet and meeting my fiancée Ali until my senior year of college. With no representation it can be easy to wonder, "is the amazing life I dream of for myself even a possibility?" Believe me, as a nonbinary femme lesbian marrying a femme lesbian I know how important it is to create the representation I never saw growing up.
I’m here to tell you that you DESERVE that amazing life, and that it's beyond important to capture the chapters of your story. Photography is an incredible medium that has the power to freeze a moment in time – finally feeling comfortable in your body and identity, getting engaged to the love of your life, the day you say I Do, or your growing family. I'm here to tell your incredible story through emotive, colorful, looks-like-it-felt-to-be-there photos.
All genders, orientations, ethnicities, sizes, and abilities are celebrated here!
Let me tell you a little of my own story. I’m a queer, neurodivergent artist born and raised in San Jose with an eye for detail, an empathetic heart, and a love for connecting with wonderful people. I’m both a homebody and an adventurer. I've been on a self-love journey for many years as I discovered my true self and it makes my heart so happy when I am able to guide others to being truly confident and loving themselves unconditionally - especially LGBTQ+ people. To be honest, nothing makes me happier than making people feel like the gorgeous badasses they are.
Your heart, your experiences, and the people you love have molded you into someone utterly singular… and I can’t wait to meet you!
- Jenni

The Experience
"My partner and I are neurodivergent... Jenni made [our session] an experience that we both enjoyed."
Jenni was truly amazing.
Our communication was super open and she answered my 1,000,000 questions so I was prepared for anything. We did a very relaxed and casual couples photo session (which turned into a surprise proposal!!!!).
My partner and I are both neurodivergent so having to take photo after photo usually is an unpleasant experience for us, but truly Jenni made the time we spent with her fly by, and made it an experience that we both enjoyed.
The photos came out beautiful!
Our friends and family have raved about our gallery, and I will be singing Jenni's praises for as long as I walk this earth.

"Both of us felt so comfortable"
We absolutely loved working with Jenni for our engagement photos! She made the entire experience so much fun. Both of us felt so comfortable and like we were given so much to work with. She is amazing with communication! The planning process was great, and she was super helpful with choosing a location.
We can’t wait to work with her again!

"Her photos brought out elements in us we didn't even know were there!"
My wife and I are so grateful for the amazing photos from our wedding. She brought everything we wanted to the experience - excitement, professionalism, creativity, and quality. Her photos brought out elements in us that we didn’t even know were there. She was so active during the day, and constantly moving around to catch the best moments. Those who didn’t attend could look at the gallery and get a full experience of the day! We very much look forward to working with Jenni again in the future and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a memorable photography experience.
