She's done our yearly family photos; not only does she find a way to make it a fun photo event for all of us (including 5 kids and a dog), but she helps to bring out our individual personalities.Not only was she the videographer and photographer for my father's Celebration of Life, she also created a beautiful memorial CD that I will cherish for the rest of my life. She's a one-stop-shop for video and photography needs, both personally and professionally! Thank you, Jennie!
