"Jennie is FANTASTIC! My then fiance was NOT into taking photos, and Jennie made him feel so comfortable.
For the wedding, she was SO easily tuned in to what my husband and I wanted. She NEVER missed a beat, but I swear I never even noticed her there for the really sentimental moments (like during the ceremony). In fact, the times I did notice Jennie, it was because she was literally having as much fun as me! The following day, so many guests told me they kept wondering how someone could be working so hard, and at the same time having SO much fun. She was dancing along with us and having a blast!
I never got nervous before my wedding until 5 minutes before my first look, and let me tell you, it hit me like a ton of bricks. Jennie looks me right in the eyes, tells me to take a deep breath, and then encourages me to visualize how fun my special day it going to be. So....I did just that, and then it was like, "Ok, let's do this!" That moment, on top of Jennie literally having to tie my father's bow-tie and teach my husband and I how to cut our cake (the little things you forget to research), is what makes me think that Jennie is awesome. She goes above and beyond just being a photographer. She becomes a friend. :)"

"Jennie was incredible!! Her upbeat personality and winning smile just brought new life and energy to every moment of our wedding! ...she was thoughtful, responsive, and above all creative!! ...It was like having another family member there - but one with a ton of experience and knowledge on how to get the right shot - or create it! Her skill is far beyond just taking pictures...She becomes an integral part of each moment and records it forever in her pictures! "
-Stephen T., San Diego Wedding

"Jennie is a great person to work with. I do not like to get my picture taken and Jennie made me feel at ease through the process. It was an adventure as well as we went to Balboa Park and walked around to Jennie's favorite spots for pictures. I felt kind of like a celebrity as Jennie was taking my shots... she will make you look awesome."

-Nick V., London Unique Photo Adventure
"What an amazing day; highly recommended! It's so nice not to have to remember my camera and then forget to use it! Thanks, Jennie, we had a great time and great fun!"
-Nikki H., London Unique Photo Adventure
"An awesome day in London! Thanks, Jennie, for making the day so special. It was such fun that you made us feel so relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. I so recommend getting your own Unique Photo Adventure to others!"
-Sas H., London Unique Photo Adventure
"Oh sweet Jennie! Thank you for everything! The pictures are amazing and a lovely memory of a beautiful day..."
-Jennifer N., San Diego Wedding
"As the song goes, "You Get What You Give", and that is the best description for the photographic experience I had with Jennie. The pictures show a beautiful, vivacious, and completely comfortable woman (yes me!)...who is not generally comfortable in front of a camera. She produced an environment completely freeing (it helps that she modeled in her past, and could give me tips for photography posture), fun, and full of creativity.
As an adult there are far fewer reasons to schedule time to have your picture taken. I intended to only order 'a picture' for my parents. I now find myself so happy with the portfolio that Jennie provided and cannot resist ordering some for myself... I mean, if Heidi Klum can hang amazing pictures of herself in her bedroom, I can hang one too!
At least I know I have found a photographer who can keep up with me, and make sure I still look good!"

"I've used Jennie's services now for over 7 years, and love it! She's done our yearly family photos; not only does she find a way to make it a fun photo event for all of us (including 5 kids and a dog), but she helps to bring out our individual personalities.
Not only was she the videographer and photographer for my father's Celebration of Life, she also created a beautiful memorial CD that I will cherish for the rest of my life. She's a one-stop-shop for video and photography needs, both personally and professionally! Thank you, Jennie!"
-Dr. Karen Kramer, San Diego Unique Photo Adventure and Videography
"When it came time to hire a photographer for a new portrait I selected Jennie because of the ease of working with her and her professionalism. Normally I hate having my photograph taken, but with Jennie I was not only relaxed, but enjoyed the entire experience as though I was on an outing with a very dear friend."
-Michele E., San Diego Empowered You Portrait
"I met Jennifer at a networking event earlier this year. I immediately liked her energy. She has a way of making people feel relaxed and bringing out the best in them.
I am very impressed on my photos and have had many compliments on my business cards. Thank you Jennie!"
