WHAT MAKES REDWOOD PHOTOGRAPHY DIFFERENT

Jennifer articulates:

FLEXIBILITY

I try to be flexible in all aspects of my work from appointment times and pricing structures to session locations and photographic style. I find that being flexible opens me up to trying new things and keeps my work exciting.

EXPERIENCE

I am able to use my past experiences to help me in my current work. I enjoyed my work as a tutor and preschool teacher. I am excited to continue my work and play with children while capturing their little personalities for friends and families to cherish for years to come. For a number of years I worked as a banquet waitress catering to many brides and grooms and their families. I truly enjoy continuing my service in the wedding industry in a more personal fashion.

EASYGOING PERSONALITY

I enjoy working with people and find it easy to get along with them. I take the time to discuss each individual's needs before their sitting to make sure that we have the same vision for the final portrait.

SKILLS

I have studied with some the best photographers in the world and continue to educate myself and update my skills through seminars and workshops nationwide. I enjoy challenging myself by trying new ideas and thinking outside the box. I have the ability to make people look natural in front of the camera, while capturing them at their personal best.

GOALS

Outside of you having the best photography experience possible (and thus telling your friends), Jennifer's goal is "to balance my love for photography and my love for my family!" Being a Southeast Michigan native and resident, Jennifer strives to establish herself in her Grosse Pointe community by providing "photography for life".
