"What greater thing is there for human souls than to feel that they are joined for life - to be with each other in silent unspeakable memories."
George Eliot

My name is Jennifer Mendoza Stanelle. I photograph families, from newborns to great, great grandparents.
My goal is to create a portrait with you that captures where your family is in this moment in time, whether that is diapers, little league, braces, or beyond. My photographs are about you.
Visit my Portfolio pages for samples of my work. Keep in mind that if you choose to work with me, your photos will not be reproductions of what you see there. Your portraits will be as unique as your family. Just like you, my work is always evolving.
Follow me here on the blog (posts are below). You can also join me on Facebook or Twitter. In addition to photography, I am interested in being the best wife, mom, sister, friend, daughter and member of my community - locally and globally - I can be. I don't claim to be superwoman, by any means. It's a crazy juggling act in which I'm doing the best I can. Occasionally, I will blog about things that relate to those topics as well.
And to answer one of the questions I get asked most: You can call me Jen, Jenny, Jennifer, Mendoza or Stanelle. I get and respond to them all!

It’s often lamented that kids don’t come with owners manuals. I recently found this website when my friend Elena sent me this great video of auther Kelly Corrigan. The video is mostly about women and sisterhood, but it lead me to this website and blog that is about parenting and looks very interesting from what I’ve gathered in just a few minutes of decompressing after the girls are in bed (one still screaming…at T, God bless him).
The site is http://greatergood.berkeley.edu/tools.php
You can find a link that will lead you to podcasts of conversations with Kelly Corrigan, among lots of other interesting articles and links. I wanted to share this since I have remarked to myself and T a few times lately, when our beloved CM is acting in ways that I can only think of as payback for my own bad behavior as a child and teenager, that I wish we had some professional guidance. If not a psychologist, then at least Super Nanny.
