JB Photography
About
I've been in customer service for over 18 years in a wide variety of settings; when I fell in love with photography I knew I had a cutting edge that not many others do. I relate, I joke I make my clients comfortable and calm to establish trust and security all while having some fun and putting an artistic spin on the shot at the same time!
What's Up Guys!!
Thank you for visiting JB Photography!
My name is Jennifer, I am the owner and #1 eye behind the lenses of JB Photography.
Eleven years back, a friend of mine was getting married and asked me If I would take her wedding pictures for her... I agreed, fell in love with taking pictures professionally and decided to go legit.
I am now 31 years old and a mom of a three year old, with this incredible business of my very own that I built from the ground up with some help from friends and family. Now that I have discovered my true passion in life, I can't ever picture myself doing anything else.
The most rewarding part of what I do, other than sharing what I see through my lens, is the simple fact that every picture tells a story. I get the privilege of being the person who captures every one of the unforgettable moments at someone's wedding, the glow of a young adult making their way into the adult world, the preciousness of a child, and most of all the candid pictures that my clients never even know I take. It blows my mind that 50 years from now my clients will share and pass down these pictures through out their families and they will be the sole root of some amazing stories.
Am I passionate about what I do?
Absolutely, Passion is the driving force behind my business from which I insist on getting to know my clients' on a personal level. Building that element of trust and somewhat friendship is how I learn what your style is, your likes, your dislikes, things that matter most to you; so that when I hold my camera I don't need to think, I don't need to plan, I just shoot what that moment feels like.

How did you get started in this business?
I've always loved photography. I never saw myself as a professional until a friend conned me into photographing her wedding with no prior experience. I borrowed a professional camera for the day did it super cheap to help my friend out and fell in love with Wedding Photography. From that day forward I knew that's what I was meant to do and made it happen.
What types of customers have you worked with?
All kinds.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Becoming a bride myself May 2020, not only did I get married during the COVID-19 pandemic, I also hired a photographer so I now have 11 years of experience as a photographer and first hand experience at what it's like to be a Bride during a pandemic and that gave me so much insight to what brides really look for in their pictures.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Pick a photographer whose work makes you say wow!, meet with them first to see what kind of vibe you get from them and sometimes the most expensive photographer is not always the best. Quality of work is in the eye of the photographer not the equipment, you can have the best camera in the world and still take a terrible picture.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
What type of session you're looking for, family portraits Wedding kids maternity etc. photographers are always willing to help pick out outfits locations themes etc. don't be afraid to ask questions.
