Hi there! My name is Jennifer (Jen), and I'm the girl behind the camera! I am currently based out of Farmington, MN but grew up North of the cities. I work with clients to achieve one-of-a-kind photos that they can cherish for a lifetime. Due to the flexibility of this job, I am able to stay at home with my four kids which means the world to me. When your world revolves around littles, there are so many everyday worries-family photos shouldn't be one of them! Let's chat :)


meet jen. mama of 4, dog-lover, and your #1 hype girl!

"We had the most amazing experience with our family photos! It can be very challenging to keep young kids engaged for an entire session, but Jennifer is so engaging and fun that our kids loved every minute. The photos are beautiful and capture the essence of us as a family. We highly recommend Jennifer Grace Portraits!"

"THE PHOTOS ARE BEAUTIFUL AND CAPTURE THE ESSENCE OF US AS A FAMILY."

HELENA J.

"Jen is the sweetest person ever and she captured beautiful summer and fall engagement photos for my finacé and I with such ease! Jen made us feel so natural in front of the camera with her direction and words of encouragement and the photos really show that. She's even mastered taking great photos of our dog that capture so much personality! Jen's turnaround time of sneak peaks and gallery deliveries is very efficient, which we love. Overall, after each meeting we have left feeling so happy with the experience, excited to see the galleries, and like we just got to hang out with a close friend. We cannot wait for Jen to capture our wedding day next June!

"Jennifer has been absolutely amazing to work with. She photographed our engagement session, our wedding, maternity and newborn sessions, and most recently 1 year family photos. she has the ability to bring out the best in all of us. I will continue to have Jen photograph all of our family memories for years to come."
