Jen Chanyi Photography

As you may have guessed, I am a photographer. “But to know who you are, could take a lifetime.” (If this quote sounds familiar, it’s from The Knight’s Tale, a favorite of mine!) Here's the short version - I am also a friend, a wife, a daughter, an aunt, an adventurer, an animal lover, a Guinness drinker (...and a wine drinker...and a whiskey drinker...) I love blueberries more than any other food - make me a blueberry pie and you'll never get rid of me. I am a sympathetic crier, a Taurus (and a night owl), a crafter, a backpacker, a nature-lover (from the beaches to the mountains). I can make an awesome campfire anywhere outside but not in our own fireplace. I'm a cosmopolitan hippie (I'm still not sure what this means but it's how one of my best friends describes me), a documentarian.

I began my photography career in 2011 and have moved from NYC to Oregon to Boston, capturing moments for couples and small business brands. I let stories unfold before my camera, taking the candid and non-choreographed and delivering a complete narrative of images that can be treasured for generations or for just a short while on social media.
