My love of photography began as a child. I would constantly borrow my older sister’s digital camera and refuse to give it back. I loved capturing those little details in the backyard that I thought other people would never notice. Throughout school I developed a love for both art and science. Equal parts logical and creative. So, driven by my curiosity, I gravitated towards photographing animals, plants, and the rest of the natural world.
In high school, I got the travel bug when I had the opportunity to take a 2-week language immersion trip to Germany. I later went on to study Communication Design at Texas State University where I studied abroad in Italy for a semester and further fueled my love of travel.
After college, I longed for flexibility in time and mobility so I left the retail management world after eight years and set off on a 6-month journey around the U.S. where I reaffirmed my passion for photography and subsequently learned some unexpected skills along the way like social media management and video editing. A product of this journey is Jenn & Mark, a photography and videography brand centered around my and my partner’s travel and our personal growth along the way. Feel free to follow along!

As an infinitely curious person who is always looking for new opportunities and ways to grow, I hope that my photography can instill some curiosity in you as well.
