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!

I had the honor of photographing B&J’s wedding at Magnolia Hall in Piedmont Park in Atlanta a couple of weeks ago. Despite the rain (and wind and lightning) that threw a wrench in their plan for an outdoor wedding, they managed to pull off a beautiful celebration. I have been to a lot of weddings, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a couple that was any happier than these two clearly are. I am going to break this event up into a few different posts. This one will focus on the bride…

and groom.

I love to look for the little telling moments of interaction. These two did not let me down. Lots of hand holding, kissing, and…ahhhh…the way they look at each other.

Did I mention there was a lot of kissing going on between the happy couple? And every time that I saw them, whether I had my camera pointed at them or not, he would break into a smile mid-kiss.

Congratulations, bibi and yoyo!! More to come here in the coming days and, I promise, you’ll have all of them just as soon as Abbey and I can get them edited!

    Jenny, these photos are amazing! Thank you so much for catching the beauty and happiness of our wedding. You are truly talented. I’m looking forward to booking a ‘mommy’ session with you (that is not a hint it will be in the near future;) Love always, Bibi
