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!

iphone

I am no gadget geek. I lived for many years without a television. My phone is as basic as it can get. My car doesn’t even have a cd player. Other than my entire life being organized by Google, I consider myself to be pretty low tech. But when the iPhone came out, I was in tech lust. Every week it seems I hear about some new application that I am positive will enrich my life and make it run more smoothly. I have declared that for the first year or two, instead of drawing a salary from my business, all I want is an iPhone. I don’t have one yet. I’m setting a goal for myself and the coveted gizmo will be my reward.

Here is the latest thing that’s making me salivate – iSketch. I found it on a blog/site that I love called 20×200 where you can purchase great original contemporary art for as little as $20.

What are your favorite apps? Any iPhone haters out there?
