Anyone can stand and say cheese for a photo; it’s my goal to go beyond superficial, canned portraits for you.
My expertise is in creating family portraiture that dives deeper into your relationships to showcase the personalities of your people.
Every year evolves us: we will photograph your family just as they are to preserve these special moments for years to come.
Let’s create honest, visual representations of who we love; and why we love them.
"Jena is great at creating a "not forced" family setting. It was great just to walk in a field and play with our daughter and dogs. She definitely takes the time to get a good feel for what you're hoping to have as an end product. I'm grateful to have special moments with our little girl captured."
We can do your family photos indoors our outdoors.
Simple areas in your home such as the kitchen table or favourite corner are perfect for family photos. Otherwise I always have a list of great outdoor locations on hand for you to choose from.
Yes! My business is located in the Golden BC Rocky Mountains and lots of families opt to travel here for their photos since it's so beautiful.
Otherwise, I frequently work in the surrounding communities such as Banff, Canmore, Invermere and Revelstoke too. Or if you want to travel somewhere special for your portraits, I will pack my bags!
I am detail oriented, super organized and like to have everything pre-planned... all so that our time together and photo day can be very laid back.
This means that you can expect lots of communication at first and then smooth sailing for the rest of our time together.
You will find that during a photo session I give you gentle guidance to get started and then am pretty hands off. I will direct you a little bit, keep a casual conversation going, and let your real life moments unfold naturally.
My goal is to photograph you just as you are and to document your real life, candid moments.
Since everyone wants something a little different, a custom package is created for each family I work with. The overall price depends on a lot of things and we will chat lots about this in detail at your pre-consultation.
The family session fee is $200 with digital and printed photos sold separately. Most families invest around $1500+ in a variety of albums, wall artwork and digital galleries. There is no minimum purchase.
You bet, this is one of my favourite things to help families with.
Most families fall in love with my printed albums and artwork options. I have samples to show you and we will go over everything at your pre-consultation.
