"the best decision we could have made!
We hired Jeanette after she was recommended to us by a family member, it was the best decision we could’ve made for our engagement and subsequent wedding. She was present and helpful in finding places to shoot our engagement, during our wedding planning she was happy to assist with the timeline and on the wedding day she was amazing! Our images turned out amazing and we are able to relive our wedding day anytime we want! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced photographer who will treat you like family!"

She encouraged us to be ourselves and I cannot get over how obsessed I am over my photos! She knocked it out of the park! We loved Jeanette!"
