PhotoJenic Photography [blog] bio picture

About Jen...

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.   

 

In the bag...

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.

Wow! Apparently it’s time for a new post…

I didn’t realize it’s been 2 weeks since I last posted…apparently it’s time for a new post…so here goes…

Scott and Lindsay were married 2 months ago, but since I’ve only shared their sneak peek, here’s some more from their special day.

Scott is SO ANIMATED…I couldn’t help but share their “first look” series…

Lindsay looked GORGEOUS…

Steve and Jody Wedding

Steve and Jody were married at the beautiful Phoenix Zoo overlooking the lake and had the reception up in the Stone House Pavilion which overlooks the Papago Mountains and is beautiful at sunset. I love shooting at this location because there is so much landscape, rainforests, rustic walls, bamboo trees etc…you don’t feel like you’re in Arizona at all!  I was privileged to have Marnee of Marriott Photography shoot with me as well, here’s some of my favorites from their special day…

Sorry…Jody gets an extra long post since she was so patient this past month which consisted of being out of town for a conference, a charity event and limited nanny time since she also got married! Thanks Jody!

Gerry and Tiffany – Maryland Wedding Photos

Ok, I’m here and I finally got to do a little work this afternoon! Here’s some images I’ve been dying to post. Last month I went back to the East Coast for the first time to photograph Gerry and Tiffany’s wedding. I had never met the couple, but from the interactions with them, I knew they would be so fun to work with, and they did NOT disappoint! And to make the trip even more amazing, I got to bring along Marnee Marriott to second shoot with me! We had an amazing time with the gorgeous green of the East Coast and despite the sweltering humidity, we could have easily photographed these two for a few more hours around town. Here are some of my favorites from the day.

You can see more images from this wedding here, on Marnee’s blog. Thanks so much Marnee for coming and doing this on YOUR anniversary! It was so much fun, let’s do it again =)

And a special thanks to Gerry and Tiffany for trusting us with your special day; and for being super patient while I went through TONS of photos to get the images online!

John and Linette – Gainey Golf Club Wedding

WOW, I hope this huge post makes up for my lack of posts lately. I can’t say enough GOOD about this incredible wedding! It was FUN, the bride and groom LOVE pictures which makes my job so much easier to begin with and of course they look awesome in pictures too! We just had a blast working with these two. I was so glad they chose to see each other before hand, as we got SO many more pictures because we weren’t pressed for time and events. Linette has the best personality, she is constantly laughing and is always happy! I’m so grateful to have worked this wedding, I feel blessed to get to be a part of such an intimate day with such an AMAZING group of people.

Enjoy the gallery of images!
