Candid, lifestyle family photos in Banff National Park

First of all, there will be no awkward standing there and no “say cheese!” moments. Nobody likes that...

My style of family photo is a little different, and is probably what you have been searching for all along.

You don't love the idea of cheesy, stiff photos or forced smiles…

and honestly, I don't want that for you either.

For your lifestyle family photo session, the goal is to create photos that look like you just went out on an afternoon stroll in the mountains together — the kind where everyone looks naturally beautiful and has their own personality shining through.

Memorialize your trip to the mountains with

"Jena recently took some beautiful photos for my family. Not only are the photos so special, but the whole experience was very fun! She made every member of my family feel comfortable.

My toddler is an energetic little guy, but she was able to communicate so well with him, which in turn made him excited to jump right into the photos with his baby sister.

Thank you for your time & effort Jena, I’m so thankful for the memories captured.

To anyone looking for a photographer, I couldn’t recommend anyone more - her work speaks for itself, but the whole experience is amazing !"
