about
my story
Yes- like "I love you, Jen-nay" Jenny.
I am super grateful to be living in Colorado - the only place that's ever truly felt like "home" to me. I'm married to my favorite person, Bobby, and together we have a son named Bryce. He's a ginger toddler who has a knack for continuously impressing us with his weirdness.
As a family, we like to hop in our camper van and hit the road in search of adventures in the mountains. I like to climb, Bobby likes to bike, and Bryce is currently learning to do both.
OTHER (RANDOM) THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME:
✦ I totally believe in past lives, and am convinced that I was a lizard at one point. I really like basking.
✦ I think I'm equal parts introvert & extrovert, but can best be explained by the Type 4 Enneagram.
✦ I made the best friends I've ever had climbing. I am so grateful for that sport.
✦ I'm an open book. Seriously - I sometimes over-share. If you have any questions, just ask!

Hey, new friend!
My name is Jennifer, but most people call me Jenny.
Specifically the deserts of Southern Utah get all of the creative gears in my head turning. I can always tap into a different part of myself when I'm there.
The Desert
Surfing CreativeMarket, MyFonts, and Etsy could keep me busy for hours. I like to look at a font and try to analyze what story it's telling me or what vibe it represents.
Pretty Fonts
Super chill couples who love the outdoors and being weird together. And who are not opposed to spraying champagne in each other's faces at the end of the session.

What Inspires Me
my Jam
Aa
Becoming a
Swanson.
Embarrassing fact :
I actually met Bobby at a wedding I was shooting. The groom set us up, and just over 4 years later we're married, have a baby and a house together in the mountains.
We're kinda made for each other (even though sometimes I kind of want to roundhouse kick him.)
My little dude,
my patronus.
If there's one thing light and perfect in this world, it's this constantly-covered-in-yogurt ginger baby.
He loves to dance to Bowie, climb every rock in site, find the biggest puddles to flop down in, and give us the best hugs.
The music I dig...
I'm one of those people who really believe that the music you love says a lot about who you are. Check out my "Top Songs of 2019" on Spotify to see which tunes I've been into lately. (Essentially folk music, Queen, and movie scores.)
My Favorites on Spotify
I love traveling
as often as I can.
Whether it be into town for some urban exploration, or across the world to the tops of mountains - my goal is just to see and do as much as I can in this life.
Politics matter to me. A lot.
For better or worse, I'm a bit of a political junkie. I deeply care about the prevalent issues we're facing in our country, and am continuously learning how to be a better ally, activist, and human. Progressive liberal right here!

Climbing all the
rocks.
I've been so passionate about this sport, the community it provides, the peace it brings me, and the calluses it causes for the last 10 years.
I truly don't know where I'd be without it.
Two words.
Harry. Potter.
100% Harry Potter nerd, and 100% proud of it.
"Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all, those who live without love.
- Albus Dumbledore
Beautiful cinematography and messages
aka, movies. I can safely say that certain movies have literally changed my life, and the combination of beautiful cinematography, an epic score, and a meaningful message leave me in absolute awe.
My favorites : Big Fish, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Captain Fantastic, Atonement & Anna Karenina.
The place I love,
the place I live.
I never felt like I really understood the concept of "home" until we found a home in this little hippie town in the mountains. It's where I've always belonged, and where I hope to always stay.
Telling the stories of
small businesses.
When I'm not taking photos of couples & families, I'm super passionate about helping small business owners develop quality imagery for their websites & social media.

Waking up in a tent
is a magical feeling.
I don't know if it really gets much better than waking up to the sun shining through your tent walls, a breeze blowing through the vents. and an adventurous day ahead.
*Not to be confused with :
1) waking up at night because you have to pee.
2) waking up in a puddle because you camped on rocks.
3) waking up to a skunk outside of your tent.
"The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun."
