Together we are creating, curating, and bringing your images to life with heirloom archive quality prints, canvas and albums. Look, touch and see your photos, in your home, as art on your walls that mark the milestones of your family's story.
I take the stress worry and confusion out of printing your images, providing you with the highest quality and convenient options for your time and investment. When taking the time to book a session, keep in mind that we wont be leaving your photos on your phone or computer, but instead bringing them to life and preserving them for your family for years to come.

Meet Jennifer
I'm a mom of two beautiful girls, a high school photography and art teacher, and photographer. I love everything to do with family, art, and running my own business. Photography lets me merge all of my favourite passions. From the time I could hold a paint brush I have been creating, and with photography I get to paint with light. Each session is treated like a work of art that is wall-worthy. Nothing makes me happier then meeting new families, couples and fellow entrepreneurs that value a family experience.

"My partner and I had a shoot with Jenn a few weekends ago and it was perfect! Before we even had the shoot her communication was outstanding, she gave us great outfit guidelines which had an amazing impact on our photos. (Seriously, take the wardrobe advice - it'll make all the difference!). The gallery for receiving and viewing our photos was also excellent, easy to maneuver and order from. She was vibrant, attentive and had a keen eye for details. Highly recommend!

"We had Jenn for our first couple photography session and I can’t say enough good things about her! I’m very awkward in front of the camera, but she made sure I felt relaxed and comfortable, her instructions were so easy to follow. She’s not only a professional, reliable photographer but a genuinely nice, fun person. Our pictures turned out beautiful, love her natural editing style. I’ll definitely hire her in the future for our engagement and wedding pictures."

“Jenn is seriously the best at what she does! She has taken our photos two years in a row now and it is something that we all look forward to - even my hubby. She has a way of making you feel relaxed in front of the camera so it's like you're having a visit with a great friend but you get some awesome photos out of the deal. I would recommend Jenn 100 times over to anybody and look forward to seeing her passion grow!”

I had my photos done by Jenn and she has amazing passion and energy for what she does. I had a few shoots with her already because I love her work and the experience so much. Each time she brings her all! I am shy at times around the camera but she just makes me feel so confident. Her photos and editing are beautiful. Thank you so much Jenn!

We had our engagement photos done with Jenn and it was an amazing experience! Though we are both quite unphotogenic, she was very communicative and put us at ease. A very professional and skilled photographer! Our photos turned out incredible and it is all thanks to her! Would highly recommend Family Archive Photography for all of your photoshoot needs!

This was such an amazing experience for me and my siblings first family shoot. Jenn was warm, kind and funny. She made us feel incredibly comfortable during the shoot and we left with so many great memories that day. I would highly recommend Jenn as your next photographer and I couldn’t be happier with how the pictures came out. Thank you so much Jenn!

I hired Jennifer photograph for some headshots. Not only did she do an amazing job, she made the whole process simple.I was a little nervous for the shoot, as the pictures meant a lot to me. The best thing she did was simplify things for me and allow me to be relaxed. Jennifer coached me through the whole process and even had some suggestions to help me be myself for the photos. It helped, and it showed in the end results. It was very convenient to book a time with her and she also had a few different options for locations where we could do the shoot. I highly recommend Family Archive.
