I am a devoted mother of 2 beautiful children, I am Greek and Cypriot, and I grew up in Wantagh, NY where I reside today. I am a true creative by nature, an artist, a sensitive spirit. I see art and beauty all around me, all of the time. It's as if a lens is mounted to my face. I picked up a camera at a very young age, and never wanted to put it down. I loved freezing moments in time and capturing my visions of beauty. In 2007 I began studying and taking photography courses. With encouragement from mentors and instructors, I eventually created my first online portfolio, and named myself "Jenuine Photography". My dream ended shortly after, as life had other plans for me.
In 2015 I was given the chance to take a new journey, and start a new life. Creativity resurfaced in my soul more powerfully than ever before. After the birth of my beautiful daughter I was finally inspired to pick up the camera again, although with little confidence. To my surprise, I soon I found myself surrounded by hundreds of clients, who have given me so much love, assurance, and faith. I am eternally grateful for these beautiful connections.
My passion for photography developed alongside my love for art in every single one of its forms. Initially, I focused on abstract images, developing film in a darkroom. Today as a portrait photographer, my shooting style is primarily photojournalistic. My processing remains artistic in style. My intention is always to retain the integrity and mood of the original image, while enhancing it to align with my vision.
I am so grateful for the opportunity to do what I love, and love what I do. I appreciate connecting with others who share my vision and love for authenticity. I am unusually honest and open in every aspect of my life, including client relationships. I am a bit quirky, often full of energy, thrive in environments with children or animals, and will do almost anything to make you smile. If you think we're a good fit, I would love to hear from you! Thank you so much for taking the time to get to know me.
with gratitude always,
jennie
