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, and more recently on Pinterest. 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!

100 Years

Posted on April 7, 2009

I’m just back from vacation and still playing catch up. Until I get around to posting pictures from T&B’s wedding and our vacation that followed, here’s a quote from a bumper sticker I recently saw that has stuck with me.

This is why I opted NOT to stress about impending work and business decisions that are looming for our family,  and not to work while on vacation even though I was dying to edit the wedding photos.

100 years from now, it will not matter how big your house was or what kind of car you drove. But it will matter how you raised your kids.
