Hey there!
Jenn here -the J of J & Six-
Ever since I was little, I have loved pictures. I am that lady that will walk all around your house looking at all your photos,even if I don’t know the people in the photographs; those people & memories mean something to someone & I love that. I absolutely love seeing moments in time that people cherish & I love being someone that gets to be behind the camera!
Seriously, when I’m in the car I will look around at everything I can & think, ‘That would be a cool picture’ or ‘Omg, that’s so pretty!’ My husband can tell you that I probably say that the ‘Sky looks so cool’ almost every day. Literally that often, not even kidding.
Born & raised in Salem, Oregon, I am in love with the Pacific Northwest. It is my home & I talk about it whenever I can. I am silly & loud & have a huge smile! I love to laugh & have about a zillion expressions. I love LOVE, adventures, everything about babies, & all things life.
-MOM-
Five of the most important people in my life call me “Mom”. Yeah, you read it right, I have FIVE kiddos. The spread is one boy & FOUR girls, 11 years between the oldest to the youngest. Yup, we have our hands full -all the sports, music, church activities, & buying SO much food -but I wouldn’t have it any other way!
Honestly, I think God put me on this earth to be a mama. I longed for it & I love it, He gave me such beautiful, amazing kids to raise up. I love watching them grow & learn & holy cow do they make me laugh every. single. day! So I know how kids can be, from babies to teenagers, I have lived through *&* photographed every season of their awesomeness
(& let’s face it, not-so-awesome phases)
-Wife-
We met when we were 12 -in middle school- & I basically instantly fell in love with him. I knew from that point on I would marry him & have lots of kids & I know that sounds SO crazy, but that’s exactly what we did! I’ve been told before that our love story would make for a cute teenage rom-com lol
He is honestly the best thing that has happened to me & I don’t know what I would do without him. From making me coffee every. single. morning. to taking care of me when I’m sick, to being the only one working while I stayed at home with our babies; he is the man who has my whole entire heart!
My husband is my person & my soulmate.
Being a little weird is just a natural side-effect of being awesome. - Sue Fitzmaurice

You guys,
I am all about being real, like, the reeealist, & maybe a little bit weird -ok, a lot bit- but what you see is what you get! I wear my emotions on my face & if something pulls at my heart strings, I will most definitely cry. I’m sensitive, okay?!
I am a people watcher (really, it’s not creepy), I just love seeing how people do things; their quirks (Lord knows I have about a million of those), what makes their faces light up, & how they interact with others.
I am a sucker for desserts, dad jokes & puns, & allll the cheesy Christmas movies any time of year.
Oh & I call everyone dude - sorry, not sorry!
I hope you feel like you know me a little better, I can’t wait to get to know you!
