About Us
Hello
We are Jenni, Chris, Jaxon, Juneau, Charlie and Caden; and our love for newborn and family portraiture began right here in our own family life.
Our Story
After meeting in the military, getting married and starting a family Chris and I soon found ourselves surrounded by four incredible kids who are full of life, but growing way too fast. As a photography enthusiast my entire life, I quickly pulled Chris into my world of photography while studying as a crime scene photographer. I had always wanted to be an investigator but as it usually happens, life quickly takes us in different directions than we planned for. My passion behind the lens soon turned to families after having our first baby. I found that my focus naturally changed to documenting my own family and a new love for newborn and family portraiture was born. As I’ve watched my family grow over the years it has truly become my passion to help other families create little moments in time they can pass down through generations, essentially documenting their Life, Love, and Legacy through portrait art.
Life. Love. Legacy
Documenting family life, love and legacy has been our passion since we began our own family, but a love for portrait and imagery has been a huge part of my family since I was child myself.
