hi, my name is Jenn

My favorite thing about existing is getting to know other humans. Their joy, their grief, their complexity.

The thing that makes me most anxious about existing is the passage of time. The inevitability of it, the lack of control... the anxiety can feel overwhelming at times.

Photography has a way of slowing down the clock for me. It makes me feel more present — providing heightened awareness to the extraordinary beauty that surrounds me as I focus each shot. Photos provide a way to step back in time. To remember. To hold near and dear what once was in that fleeting moment. Not here any longer, but in photographs, it stays with us unchanged. It is the most powerful tool that I have for combating fear and making time my friend. Photos are how I process the world and how I cherish my own life. It is the greatest honor to spend my life doing the same for others. Time is a finite resource. But in photos, we have abundance.

We have our favorite day to hold onto, for always.

We have memories.

We have clarity.

I love it
so so much.

Why photography?
