There are not enough words to describe how amazing Jen is. Her pictures turn out absolutely fabulous, and working with her is just an amazing experience. She is incredibly sweet, personable, and professional and allows you to feel incredibly comfortable in front of the camera so that your pictures turn out natural and candid. We have used Jen for both a Fall mini session for family photos as well as our wedding photographer. She was incredibly communicative to ensure our Fall photos were at the exact right location, and her flexibility to jump around to different houses on the day of our wedding was so incredibly appreciated. All of our photos are fantastic, and we would trust her again and again to capture memories for our family. Book Jen Schmidt! You won't regret it!

My wife and I could not give Jen a higher rating! Where to start....she was professional and a blast to work with! We hired Jen to be our wedding photographer last July at Mitchell's Meadow (also highly recommended) just north of Truckee. From the very start of the process Jen was amazing! She was very approachable and easy to work with. We met with her a few months prior to our wedding and she was SO nice, easy going and a lot of fun. Jen just radiates good energy and positivity. We had our 4 dogs in our wedding, and was so excited to find out that Jen was as much of a dog lover as we are. Jen volunteers her time at the local animal shelter, taking photos of the dogs and cats to help them get adopted. Jen also does photo shoots with pets that are at the end of their life to make lasting memories for their family. Jen is a good soul. Her photography skills are just as amazing! Our outdoor venue could have been a tricky place to get good shots (with difficult lighting), but Jen knew what she was doing, and got amazing photos! We had a big wedding (250+) guests and Jen (by herself) captured everyone! She was literally running around the venue to get all the great shots! Our wedding party said; "normally wedding party photo sessions are very exhausting. Jen made it so easy and we all had a blast!" During the wedding and reception Jen was working so hard and got SO many good shots! Later in the evening she was on the dance floor with everyone getting some really fun party photos! She really captured the energy of our group. Jen made sure to get the kind of photos we wanted. We told her we loved aspen trees so she did a whole photo shoot of my wife and I in a aspen grove. Jen quickly became not just our photographer, but our friend. If you want a phenomenal photographer at a fair price, hire Jen. You wont regret it.

Jen was recommended to us by the owners of our wedding venue as a photographer that really stood out to them in weddings they have had. Starting on paper Jen looked great, she is very reasonable in her prices and the photos we saw looked beautiful. From the very first call to Jen ( we were planning our wedding from a different state) we knew Jen was unique! She couldn't wait to meet us and our dogs, which we just HAD to have in the wedding. Jen immediately felt like a friend to us, making our engagement and wedding photos feel so natural and fun. Not to mention how great all the photos turned out!

As my dad and I were waiting to go down the aisle all my dad could talk about was how impressed he was with our photographer. This coming from a man who loves photography himself and our wedding was the last of his kids so he has seen the good and the bad .

Thank you Jen for being an amazing photographer and friend! We are so thankful for the beautiful memories you captured!
