Hi, I'm Jennifer but most know me as Tia Jen.

I’ve been pursuing my passion for photography since 2010. Completely self-taught, my journey has been filled with trial and error, alongside workshops and countless YouTube tutorials. I was born and raised in the Central Valley as a first-generation American, with both of my parents hailing from the Azores islands. 

I’ve been happily married for 20 years, and we have two wonderful kids. In our family, God, family, and traditions are our core values, and we live by the golden rule: treat others how you want to be treated. I’m incredibly close to my sisters and their kids, and I love hosting gatherings, whether it’s a birthday, our annual Christmas party, or a simple get-together just because.

Photography has been a passion of mine over the years, and I love meeting new people and capturing moments that they’ll treasure for a lifetime—especially since our time here on earth is short. I’m excited to help you create cherished memories through my lens. Thanks for stopping by, and I look forward to capturing special moments for you soon! 

– Jen
