Thanks for checking in to learn more about me. I love my life and seriously feel really blessed! Photography is a passion of mine and it definitely continues to challenge me to push the envelope more and more. I have been photographing weddings and families for more than 10 years and feel incredibly blessed to do what I love surrounded by those that I love!! I am a mom to three and married to the love of my life. I've chosen to work from home and while often challenging, I wouldn't trade it for the world.
I have 2 boys and one little girl. Brennan is almost 7 and is my little red head. People LOVE his red hair. Though he started out with the fiery personality I carried as a youngster, he's grown up to be quite the respectful child who has a love of learning. Dawson is a middle child...need I say more? He's a tender hearted almost 4 year old whose main method of communication is the perpetual whine. He has an infectious smile that sure makes it hard to put the camera down around him. Emery is our little girl who is 1 year old. She's super laid back and easily entertained...the complete opposite of both her brothers. She is loved by all the boys in our house but wants only to be with Mommy...and after a couple of Daddy's boys, I'm really ok with that! My husband and I will be married 10 years this year. I can hardly believe it's been that long. He too has a job that he loves in Real Estate Development. He's very supportive of me in my business and really helpful with the technical side of things (he insists he's even taught me a little Photoshop here and there...I beg to differ). If there's anything he'd change about my job...it's all the romance I'm around that he has to compete with!! I'm a hopeless romantic for sure! But he has some of that in him too, it just tends to go into hiding sometimes!
My family is the most important thing to me and is definitely the reason I love photography so much. I can't describe the satisfaction I get in capturing wonderful moments for people who are be able to keep them as memories forever. I truly am grateful that I can have a career working for so many amazing people during some of their most intimate life moments.
I use only the highest quality cameras and lenses! My main camera is the Canon 5d Mark II. It is a full frame camera with over 21 megapixels and an expanded ISO range from 50 up to 25,600. WOW!! This is cutting edge camera technology...at least for the moment! I also use only Canon "L" series lenses. The "L" stand for luxury and man does it ever live up to its name! Aside from giving me a good arm workout, these lenses have low dispersion glass and are some of the fastest lenses available. While I typically prefer the wide aperture and great depth of field offered by the 70-200 f 2.8 lens, I also have a handful of other great lenses...
17-40mm f 4.0 USM 28-70mm f 2.8 USM 35mm f 1.4 USM I also have a Canon 580EX and 580EXII Speedlight.
For Editing I use Adobe Lightroom 2.0 and Adobe Photoshop CS4.
This girl was seriously SO gorgeous and easy to photograph I could have been shooting all day. The real challenge this presents is narrowing down her photo selection because as you can see, she doesn’t take a bad shot.
Here’s a little sneak peek of her session we did on Saturday.
Thanks Autumn more to come.
A couple of weeks ago I did this amazing maternity session including a little “Maternity Boudoir” for this mom on her last baby. She was carrying child #4, 36 weeks and looks absolutely STUNNING! Yes…we can all hate her now! =)
I’ve included a few of the images in this post but I’ve added a password protected post below for those who would like to see more images. All of the images are done very tastefully with absolutely gorgeous light, (thanks for your help Marnee). I love how the images show off her beautiful belly. I think that pregnancy is so beautiful and I really love how these images turned out. I think they are artistic, unique, sexy and yet tasteful. What do you think?
If you’d like to view the images enter the password boudoir.
There are so many of these images that just make me happy. These two little boys are SO LOVED and it’s evident by the interactions we caught during their session…not to mention the sweet smiles and innocence on the faces of these boys.
I absolutely love this first shot!
He’s two…quick to run around…quick to fall, both of which happened the whole session a LOT. But I love this shot, he has a mind of his own, don’t all 2yr olds!
And his 4yr old big brother was just too handsome…
A little love from Mom…
And a little love from Dad…
And of course…a little brotherly love
And last but not least…one of my favorites…makes me miss my boys being so little.
Aren’t they sweet?
March 3, 2010 - 4:33 pm - What a great job Jen. I love them, both the family and pictures. grammy
March 4, 2010 - 6:49 pm - Each one of these pictures is so special. I love the comments too. It is clear that this is a very loving family. It's just wonderful to see you all so happy. Love, Jackie P.S. Hope to see you soon.
I can not think of a more moving, emotional and spiritual moment than watching/photographing a new life come into this world! Today Tatum made her grand entrance and here is just a sampling of her beautiful birth story…Congratulations, Happy Birthday Tatum!
Yes, we can all hate her now…it’s not fair to look this good when in labor! And just wait until I share her maternity photos taken last week…this girl is gorgeous!
Can I get a round of applause for EPIDURALS! This was now party time!
Tommy was so dang sweet with her…had a hard time selecting which ones to show…
Some first looks when baby came…
And the moment of truth…Momma sees her baby girl for the very first time…PRICELESS!
Congratulations you guys and HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! What a way to CELEBRATE your love and commitment to each other!

March 6, 2010 - 7:29 pm - Ok so you don't know me but that hotty mom is my cousin! :) She got all the good looks I tell ya. I know she worked super super hard to get that way. I also know that she fought hard to bring that little Tatum into the world. I just wanted to tell you I LOVE your photos and you do amazing work! Thanks for showcasing it. And seriously I do hate her for looking so good in her maternity shots too but awesome work. I am so glad I checked this out! Jana
It’s back…we’re busy prepping for our 2nd Annual Spring for Charity Event! This year will not disappoint with multiple locations, dates and not one, but two great charities to support local children. This event was so successful last year and the photos captured of kids with baby chicks were to die for, see for yourself…
This year we need your help to make these events successful. Please share this info with anyone who may be interested and post it on facebook or your personal blogs. We want to get the word out and help out two wonderful charities! Keep in mind these prices are well below our normal session fees and we are donating $50 from each session to the charity.
Marnee, with Marriott Photography has put together 3 separate times to take place on March 3rd and March 4th in Scottsdale. The donations from these sessions will benefit New Covenant Church and Preschool for educational and playground improvements.
We will also be hosting another event at a wonderful Children’s Boutique at the Biltmore. This Little Piggy Wears Cotton is a great store with adorable, unique clothing for kids. You’ll want to come just to see all the totally cute kids clothes they offer…many of which you could get for your Spring photo session! This event will take place on Friday, March 12th at 3pm. Sessions are limited so you’ll need to call and make an appointment to guarantee your session.
There are so many more ADORABLE photos to share…here’s a few more from last year!
What better way can you get unique Easter/Spring photos AND help out local charities in the process?
February 24, 2010 - 10:50 am - You forgot to leave the information for your Mansfield, Texas session! I am so jealous!
This newborn session was so much fun! Little Mr. T and Miss D were only one week old at this session and were such great little babies! I was also blessed to have Marnee come and assist this session…with two photographers on two babies we got some great stuff!
AWE…she’s giving him kisses!
Thanks to the parents of these two for hanging out with us for a few hours so soon after bringing them home…I hope it was worth the effort in the early sleepless days, well who am I kidding, those days are STILL sleepless I’m sure! And thanks Marnee for coming to help us out!
February 23, 2010 - 8:39 am - OK the last photo is TO DIE FOR! I also just realized that I totally know the mommy. Jacky your babies are beautiful!
February 23, 2010 - 9:39 am - Perfect! These make me wish you had taken my twins newborn pictures. If only . . .
February 23, 2010 - 9:47 am - I'm constantly amazed that the newborns sleep through all of the torture that you and Marnee put them through. At least it is worth it! The pictures are beautiful!
February 23, 2010 - 3:05 pm - What sweet little twinners! I love how tiny and fragile they look in their daddy's hands :) precious!!!
February 23, 2010 - 6:27 pm - Ahhh... so excited to see these! They turned out great! Good work, Jen! :) Thanks for having me come and watch and learn from the best!
February 26, 2010 - 6:40 am - Jen you did a great job .. Thanks so much for sharing your talent with our family .. We can't wait to see the final proofs and such to narrow down which ones we are going to get some prints of ..
Recently as we came upon Valentine’s Day I remembered how blessed I am that I have my Valentine right here and that his job is here, near our home. My cousin is serving in Iraq and he has the most AMAZING wife who deals with the distance quite well despite having 3 young children…but I’m always thinking about her and grateful for his service and their families sacrifice! I think we too often forget about our wonderful military whose jobs take them to other countries for months and sometimes years at a time! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Today kiss your spouse a little longer…
and love on your kids more…
because too many of them out there are without their mom or dad, all to serve and protect us!
Thanks Ryan…and too many others deployed out there…WE ARE GRATEFUL!!!!!!
February 20, 2010 - 1:13 pm - OK---clear the teary eyes! Thank you for taking these. Thank you for posting these and the sweet message that accompanies them. Thank you for sending them to Mary and giving she and the kids a beautiful gift! Thank you for sharing your talent and kindness with others! Love you, Aunt Dede and Uncle Jeff
February 20, 2010 - 2:12 pm - I cannot stop crying, Jen!!! This is beautiful!!! What a wonderful tribute to Ryan, Mary, and all the other troops deployed!! You are a wonderful person to share this and so very talented too! I am very proud of you...and Ryan...and Mary and the kids! Love you, Aunt Kim and Uncle Bob
Proof that for one moment…a second…or maybe just a millasecond…they all loved each other!
I love Valentine’s Day because I just love “LOVE” and the excuse to do something extra special for these people who I love so much! Tonight we had candlelight dinner, the 5 of us and we tried to teach the boys what Valentine’s is all about. While discussing with them what love is and all the different ways we show love, we enjoyed intermittent songs from Emery of “Happy Birthday to You” every time she noticed the candle was still lit at our table. =)
Here are the valentine cards we made for the kids classes…I should have taken a photo with the candy attached, but hey, that was more work than I cared to do…Brennan’s had “fun dip” attached to the right
and Dawson gave Hershey “Kisses” to his classmates!
Of course one of the best parts of this holiday is a date night and one on one time with my honey…that always makes me very happy! As does these photos courtesy of the fabulous Marnee Marriott.
He makes me HAPPY and I am so blessed.
