“We hired Jen to capture my mother’s 75th birthday celebration, and I can honestly say the photos are absolutely stunning. Every image radiates warmth, joy, and love—exactly what we felt that day. She managed to document not just moments, but emotions, and did so with such an artistic eye.”

“Jen Davis allows you to live in the moment while she captures it. She's very receptive, accommodating and attentive. If you're having an event and you want to be able to look back on the day while still being a part of it have Jen there!”

Birthday Portraits

Portraits for any birthday (think 1st, 2nd, 16th, 18th, 50th!) are all about freezing that personality in time.  Just think how much growth happens every year, babies grow so fast, your child's smile changes, and these photos capture all the little details — chubby hands, wobbly steps, and those big curious eyes. They show who your little one is right at this exact moment, before it’s gone in a blink. Years from now, these pictures will be a sweet reminder that incredible first year.

As they grew they lose teeth, get taller, change up their style until the next thing you know - they are driving and getting ready to fly.  All of these milestones are worth capturing and I'd love to help you do that.

Cake Smash Photography

Cake smash sessions are messy, silly, and so much fun. Frosting-covered fingers, big reactions, and curious little expressions make moments you could never plan if you tried. With a few simple props and a celebratory setup, you get photos that show your infant's personality starting to shine...just in time to become a toddler!

Need ideas?  I can help you!  These sessions are a happy, lighthearted way to celebrate a first birthday — and the kind of images you’ll smile at for years.
