hi, i am jennifer.
i am a finlandia university graduate and while i was a student there i took a digital photography course and fell in love with the emotions images can create. i have always been interested in photography, but i didn't get started shooting until 2015.
i specialize in documenting the authentic moments of life including, but not limited to, city hall elopements, engagements, event, family, landscape, nature, portrait, newborn, pregnancy, and senior. i'm based in the upper peninsula of michigan in a small yooper town called toivola; which is located 21 minutes from houghton.

“i loved working with jenny! it does help that I know her on a more personal level, but she does not disappoint. she makes you feel comfortable around the camera, and doesn’t deliver anything but the best.”
—natalie stockel
“it felt very comfortable taking pictures with you, didn’t make me feel like the awkward person i am! i also love that the pictures look like me and not super edited.”
—shelby gulpker
