"Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart." -Kahlil Gibran(SCROLL DOWN FOR BLOG)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! Photos of me by Elle Photography. |

You captured the event beautifully! I, too, admire the whole family. Well done.

!!!! What a great day!

I am a teary mess–what wonderful pictures to remember such a happy day. You guys are truly an inspiration–thanks, Patrick family, for all your sacrifice.
Great pictures Jenny! I got all choked up just looking at all of them. You captured some wonderful moments.
Great work! JP, you gave me a wonderful idea for when Mike comes home from deployment. This is a wonderful way of capturing those precious moments without having to be the one to do it! (if you’re anything like me, WE’RE usually the photographers). Enjoy each other!
Jenny, these pictures are amazing! Your work always brings tears to my eyes, but these ones especially. Beautiful, honest, and touching in the most sincere way. Thanks for sharing!
To the P Family -
CONGRATS! and WELCOME HOME!!!!!
What great pictures and wonderful memories!
Everyone looks FABULOUS!!
Love and miss you all!!

jenn … these are amazing!! you captured the moment so beautifully … what a treasure …
Dear Jennifer, you captured with extraordinary talent the emotions we felt that day at the hangar… There is nothing more precious than being able to relive, over and over again, such wonderful moments as your spouse’s home coming through pictures..
Unbelievable photographs that I’m certain don’t do justice to an even more amazing journey. Thanks to your family for your sacrifice for us! Like the shirt says “Daddy does ROCK”!!
I am not a member of Rob’s immediate family of wife and children, but he has been my cousin in a tight Irish/Italian family since he was born into the Tedeschi/Patrick clan. We have ALL said prayers for him to come home safely to his beautiful family and brother, sisters, and Mom. This is a beautiful tribute. Debbie Tedeschi Maher, 1st cousin and fan
Wow! What an amazing story. She is truly an amazing woman. It is great to hear of such inspirational people. Thanks for sharing!
