Why You Should Hire a Professional Photographer for Your Event

I love photographing events. I weave the events together in a photographic storyboard that lets you relive the whole thing. Here are some reasons why hiring someone like me to capture your next event is to your advantage.

Let’s imagine it’s a family reunion. You want a big group photo with everyone included. You could try taking it yourself, but a few things can go wrong. You might ask a family member to step out and take the shot, which can be disappointing for the one left out, or you might set a timer on your camera. This often means taking multiple shots, resetting the timer over and over, hoping everyone has their eyes open in at least one. Hiring a professional means you can relax and enjoy the moment, knowing the shot will be taken quickly, stress-free, and beautifully.

Or, think about a birthday party. You want to be in the moment—helping your child cut the cake or opening presents with them—not caught up taking photos. With a professional handling the photography, you’re free to truly be there, making memories, instead of missing them from behind the camera.

Another huge benefit? After the event, you won’t be burdened with editing and distributing photos. A professional will handle all of this, delivering high-quality images you’ll cherish for years. These beautifully lit, professionally captured photos will keep those memories alive, creating keepsakes for everyone to look back on.

Hiring a photographer lets you be part of the experience while preserving it beautifully for everyone!

I've also had the privilege of working at fundraising and charitable events. These photos underscore the importance of the work that is being done and has been used in promotional and website material to further these organization's causes.

This is what a client had to say about my work at her father's 90th birthday celebration:

"Jen did a fantastic job, it's like she captured all the important moments that told a story. I'm so glad we hired her." -Judy

If you're planning an event, I would love to talk to you about how I can help record your most precious memories.
