One where you can be yourself and walk away with photos you truly love? The families I work with are looking for timeless portraits that show authentic emotion and connection. I love to laugh and joke with the kids and let their personalities shine through while we capture a variety of posed and candid portraits. 

Searching for A Family photo experience
that’s relaxed, fun, and fully guided?

The Family PHotography Experience

The belly laughs, missing front teeth, shy cuddles, and the way your kids fit perfectly in your arms right now—these are the moments worth remembering.

Family sessions with me are relaxed, playful, and focused on connection over perfection. Whether I’m chasing giggles with your toddler or talking with your teens about their favorite things, my goal is to create an experience that feels easy, meaningful, and genuinely fun for everyone involved.

I know family photos can feel stressful beforehand, but you don’t have to worry about forcing smiles or getting your kids to sit perfectly still. I’ll guide you through the entire session naturally so you never have to wonder what to do, while still leaving space for the real moments to unfold.

These aren’t just photos for your wall or holiday card. They’re the images your children will look back on someday and remember what life felt like in this season with you.

Fill out my contact form below to start planning your session. I’d love to be your family photographer.


FAMILY PHOTOS YOU'LL LOVE FOR YEARS TO COME

This was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had with a photographer. Jen is knowledgeable and professional, but also personal and patient. She took the time to capture the best of us and make the whole process very natural. I’m thrilled with the moments she captured.

-Shellie W.

"One of the best experiences I've ever had with a photographer"

Jen is a rockstar at what she does! She knows what she’s doing, she knows how to frame a picture, pose people, she’s easy to get along with, and can get people off all ages to look amazing. Seeing our pictures made me cry—just more beautiful than I could ever imagine!! I’m turning my house into a portrait studio with all these pictures!! Worth every penny!!

-Kelly

"Seeing our pictures made me cry"

I absolutely love Jen and the beautiful photos she takes! Our family pictures with her are the best we’ve ever had and any picture she’s taken of our kids is displayed in our home. She does such a fantastic job with lighting and making you look your very best. Very natural and stunning photos. She’s also super great to work with, relaxed and fun which I think was key to get the genuine smiles from my kids and husband. I recommend Jen 100%

-Amanada

"Our family pictures are the best we've ever had"

Jen was amazing for my family shoot! She positioned both me and my husband perfectly to compliment our figures. My kids were young and she knew just what to say to make them smile and laugh. I get sooo many compliments on the beautiful family photo she took that is hanging on my wall

"I get so many compliments!"

-Trischelle C.

So fun and easy to work with! Really helped guide us and my girls had a blast!

-Jamie M.

"My girls had a blast!"

I have had multiple pictures taken by Jen and I love every single one of them. She is very kind and patient even with little kids.

-Mekdes A.

"She is very kind and patient with little kids"

Jen is fantastic to work with! She has done our family photos the last couple years and I am always happy with how they turn out. I’ve got 4 young kids, which can make photos difficult, but she is always great with my kids! She’s so patient with them, and always follows their lead so that my kids have fun and don’t get frustrated. She is efficient and moves quickly through shots which is great with squirrely kids. She always has great site suggestions based on the current season, and she has an impeccable eye for the little details that really makes her photography excellent!

-Makenna W

"She is always great with my kids!"

Jen has taken my family’s pictures three times now. She’s amazing, professional, and extremely talented. I recommend her to everyone.

"I recommend her to everyone"

-Julie W.

"She makes the experience peaceful and fun"

Jen White has taken our family photos the last two years and we absolutely love them. She knows what works and how to make you look good and get the pictures you want. We always end up with photos we love when she takes our pictures, even when our toddler isn't being cooperative. I 100% recommend Jen White.

-Clarissa P.

"We absolutely love them"

Jen was wonderful to work with and our pictures turned out beautifully!! I really don’t know how I’m going to choose which ones to frame because I love so many! Thanks Jen!

"Our pictures turned out beautifully!!"

-Diedre

My fiancé and I had our engagement photos done on the Oregon coast by Jennifer. Jennifer is amazing!! She made us feel so comfortable that we were having a blast. We were blown away by her vision and shots. It was a great experience from beginning to end, and I cannot thank Jennifer enough!!

-Staci

"She made us feel so comfortable that we were having a blast"

Jen did our daughter’s newborn pictures and they were so sweet! I loved them all. She came to our house and it was very calm and comfortable. Jen is a professional and she is worth every penny!

"She came to our house and it was very calm and comfortable"

-Aubri L.

I will forever be grateful for the amazing photos Jen has taken. I was 35 weeks pregnant and did not feel beautiful in my own skin (had that beached whale feeling, swollen and tired all the time) but Jen did an amazing job and I loved every single picture. The way she captured myself, along with the lighting literally made me cry.
Her location was beautiful, the guidance she provided for poses was amazing and the time she took to take these photos was admirable. I will most definitely use her services again and would highly recommend her to anyone.

-Tina S.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Jen's professionalism, creativity, and warm demeanor made the entire process enjoyable and memorable. Jen took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for in my senior portraits. What impressed me the most was Jen's ability to create a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere throughout the shoot.  She has a remarkable way of making you feel confident and natural in front of the camera, which ultimately resulted in stunning photographs.

"I couldn't have asked for a better experience"

Jen takes amazing photos. I've never felt more photogenic in my life, and everything felt so perfect when she took my photos. She picks the prettiest destinations too! Would recommend.

Jen has been talking my pictures since I was like 2. She is great at capturing my personality and is always so fun to work with! I am always super pleased with the results of the photos! She’s very good at coaching through poses which is good because I am super awkward lol.
