Ciao!
west coastie, now baby new yorker. Dreamer, doer, Window Seater
Hello there! I’m Jena - really glad you're here. Part-time photog, fulI time friend. I see the world in light and colours and motions and moments. I have a spirit of curiousity and play, and see stories in everything. People and places stir me the most (the biggest inspirations for my art). I believe the humans we encounter and get to know are what shape us.
I’m fixated on the purpose, and that people are worth knowing. I value authenticity in action, staying grounded, and the art of conversation.
some simple loves
delicious morning light that seeps in - fresh brews - an impromptu adventure - good company - a new experience - coastal bluffs - gatherings around a table or a fire - fresh cut flowers - a killer backyard dinner party - dining al fresco - words that make you pause and think - a witty bit - a smashing book
photography : a philosophy

pausing & paying attention
pausing & paying attention
Photos carry a lot of meaning: it's more than trends and perfection; it's about the core of humanity - momentos for a lifetime. I consider it a highest honour to simply be a documentarian and witness, having your trust in capturing some of the best of life's moments or the people that mean the most to you.
a vow to you
I will always stay true to capturing what is emotive, joyful, and honest. I vow to always approach your photos thoughtfully and deliberately - To put my heart and soul into my work , to give you my absolute best. You have my full attention and focus; my highest regard and attention. i promise to honour beauty, celebrate legacy, and capture the best of humanity's core. I'll be a calm, encouraging presence that equally makes sure we have a little bit of fun. I recognize the weight photos carry, and don't take that lightly!
I am also a designer (and a sort of jill-of-all-trades maker). You can check out my design work here. Let me know if I can help you with any of your editorial, illustration, branding, or visual direction needs.
