Our team & mission
Just like you, we are busy moms with a full plate, longing to freeze time while our kids are little, yet watching it all fly by in the blink of an eye! We get it.
Our specialty is in taking all the stress and worry out of your portrait session experience and finally get those digital images on your walls and in an album so you never lose them!
As soon as I booked my session, I immediately felt relieved. Everything was so organized, and she assured me that my session would be a blast. And she was right!
I had a great time from beginning to end!“

Ever since I was 15, I wanted Jennifer to do my senior pictures. I always looked online to see the latest pictures she posted. I loved them so much I just HAD to have her do my senior photos.
The day of my pictures, I was so excited! I could hardly wait. I was a little nervous about my makeup and hair not looking right, but she did a wonderful job! Once I met Jen, I knew it was going to be a stress-free environment with her around. I didn’t really know how to pose at first, but after a few shots, I got the hang of it. I never once felt awkward about anything. If something didn’t look right, Jennifer knew just how to fix it, which was great!
I really couldn’t have asked for anything better – it was perfect!

I take on a limited number of senior portrait sessions each month so I can give my clients the BEST experience. It is not uncommon for families to book 6+ months out, however there’s sometimes room left last minute. Don’t hesitate to reach out!

Hi! I’m Jen,
the girl behind the camera
that was def never popular
in high school…
Hi there!ย I’m Jen, and I’m a senior portrait photographer based in central Iowa, with a studio in Grinnell. I’m your hype-girl, and I will 100% get WAY over excited when we get that magazine-worthy shot of you (it will happen, promise). Trust me, I know that it is not always easy to be in front of a camera, but I’m here to make it easy, enjoyable, and memorable.
I was never the popular girl, never confident in photos, and was always unsure of myself (PS – this still kinda true) It is my mission to help senior girls (and guys too!) gain confidence & assurance, and recognize just how incredible they are through their senior photo experience.
With 10+ years photographing high school seniors, you’ve come to the right place!
