Meet Jenn
Hi there! I am Jenn Martin and I am an accredited portrait photographer who specializes in helping women feel confident, comfortable, and beautiful in front of the camera. I would be honored to be your photographer.
First and foremost, this experience is about YOU, not me. However, sometimes it helps to know a little bit about who is behind the camera to feel comfy so here is a little bit about me…I love Jesus, my family, coffee, champagne, chocolate croissants, and HIIT Pilates. I am married to my bestie for the restie and we have five kiddos between us.
Some fun facts about me:
- I met my husband on e-harmony not realizing we both had the same last name!! (No, we are not related, LOL).
- Although I have loved photography since high school, it was when my girls were born that my hobby became a passion and developed into a business.
- I love fries on salads and if you have ever visited western PA (where I grew up) you will know what I am talking about.
- I love, love, love sunrises and sunsets – especially at the beach. It brings me joy and peace.
I hope this helps to get to get to know a little about me and I look forward to getting to know you!
I give you permission to have a day all about you. Relax, get your hair and makeup done, feel beautiful, and then go out and celebrate that night because you deserve it. You are beautiful now – let me show you.

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL NOW
I am a woman so I understand the fear of sitting in front of the camera. It is not easy but I am here to help you feel comfortable.
Have you ever told anyone you are not photogenic? There is no such thing, my dear. You are, you just have not seen it yet. All you need to do is show up, get your hair and makeup done, feel pampered and beautiful and listen to my directions.
It is my job to direct you and to take the most beautiful pictures you have ever seen of yourself. You just be you.
EXIST IN PICTURES
There are so many reasons that we don’t get in front of the camera and I have heard many of them.
“I need to lose 20 pounds, I am not photogenic, I just want pictures of my kiddos…”
But I am here to tell you to stop waiting. We will never be perfect and there will always be something we want to improve or change – such is human nature. When your family looks at you, they see your true beauty shine through. Let me show you.
When your children and your family are searching for photos of you in the future, what will they find?
