One of my favorite types of sessions to photograph are extended family sessions, and these extended family photos in Estes Park are no exception! There’s something so special about having the whole family together, and getting to document this small space in time of having everyone together, and the joy and love that exists for your family in this season.

The H family was staying at YMCA of the Rockies to celebrate a milestone birthday for the matriarch of the family, and reached out about having photos to document this sweet time with the incredible views of the Rockies. We documented the entire family together, their different family groups, the sweet relationship of grandmother and grandkids, and of course, mom with her adult children–all set against the gorgeous backdrop of mountains.

“Couldn’t recommend Jen more! She was very professional, well prepared, friendly, and efficient both beforehand and during the shoot. She remembered the names of who was going to be in the photos, memorized our shot list, and was able to quickly and calmly direct our large group through each pose while keeping everyone happy and comfortable for the full hour. She went beyond the shots we had discussed and helped capture photos we hadn’t thought of. Even with having to work through some rain showers and tricky lighting, the photos are absolutely beautiful and so much more than what we’d hoped for; the whole family will cherish them forever. Jen’s outstanding customer service and final product are more than well worth it! We would absolutely use her again.” –Kait, family session client

Thank you for inviting me to document and create with you, H family! You all have the sweetest energy together, and it was such an honor!

BEHIND THE LENS

A note from Jen

Purpose and passion and the lessons of over 17 years of weddings...

I'm writing this today staring out at the bright blue Colorado sky, near Boulder, CO where I live with my husband of nearly 17 years and our 8 year old son. We moved here to chase the mountains and adventure and a life fully lived, after over a decade in Nashville, TN. 

It might seem silly to say that I believe part of my purpose here on this earth is creating photos at people’s weddings. But here’s the thing. Life is absolutely going to life. There are going to be days and seasons that are freaking hard and awful and the world feels like it’s burning down (literally, metaphorically, in all the ways). And there are going to be days full of so much love and joy and bliss and peace that you wish you could just bottle it up for all time.

And I feel so strongly that that’s WHY a wedding matters. And why your photos matter. And why making it so intentional and purposeful to you matters. To create the space to intentionally create beautiful new memories together. Because it’s a weekend to say that this love (yes, all love) and these people (yes, all people) MATTER. It exists. It is real. And it’s worth celebrating the f*** out of. In a radical defiance of everything telling us to be scared and wall up our hearts.



And it’s worth documenting. My purpose in this is to be present with what’s there on your wedding day—all the joy, love, and whatever else is showing up—and creating the record of it. A record of what is true to you. So that when the days hit hard, you can point back at this anchor of joy and love, and know that it exists. It is real. It is worth celebrating.

Sending all the love, wherever this journey of life is meeting you today. xoxo, Jen
