We had SUCH a great experience with Jen and Everlasting Memories Photography!  Now that we are Grandparents we of course want everything perfect for our Granddaughter and could not have had a better experience!  Jen is personable, TALENTED, CREATIVE, warm, great with people!  She kept assuring us to take time to ensure our Granddaughter was fed, changed and happy , no preassure to "get on with the session" and as a result the pictures were stunning, heartwarming and...as perfect as our Granddaughter!  And SUCH a good value!!! She even incorporated the family dog into the pictures without batting an eye! --Cannot recommend highly enough to use Everlasting Memories Photography and to feel confident in referring friends and family to her!!!

My firstborn graduates this year and I asked her to research as many local photographers as she could muster. Obviously, there were a lot of quality candidates. But Jen really stuck out to her because of some of her natural shots and her photos really seemed to pop. Interacting with Jen to prepare for her senior shoot couldn't have been easier and more pleasant. And then we got to actually meet her on the day of the shoot. What a kind soul that made us feel like our shoot; our project was the most important thing to her. I could tell she was super intentional with her shots but tried some ideas that were outside of the box. And my daughter had so much fun! She truly felt special for her shoot. We were blessed with a fantastic autumn afternoon. Jen made sure we got the good light before we retired for the evening. We couldn't wait to see the results. What we got was way better than we could have imagined. My daughter was just stunning. Jen really captured her beautiful smile and soul - blending perfectly with the canvas/environment. I couldn't recommend Jen more. We had such a positive experience. She is awesome!

Jen does such great work! I got pictures done with her twice, and I bought my parents a photo session with her for a present, too. The photos all turned out so nice. She makes you feel comfortable during the shoot, and she has a great eye for helping capture amazing shots. I highly recommend her for any photos that you need!
