Meet the Photographer
Hi, I’m Jennifer — the heart behind Rare Rose Photography.
I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in the scenic heart of upstate New York, where I live with my two college-aged twin sons. Being a mom has taught me to value the small, in-between moments — the candid, unscripted pieces of life that are often the most meaningful.
I specialize in capturing those moments with heart and honesty, candids. Using natural prompts and relaxed posing, I help you feel completely at ease in front of the camera — because your story deserves to be told without awkwardness, and with all the real emotion intact.
Photography is more than a passion for me — it’s my love language.
As a national award winner with RAREARTIST, I’ve been honored for my work’s ability to connect, move, and inspire. That recognition reflects what I strive to bring to every session: storytelling that’s not only beautiful, but deeply personal.
If you’re looking for images that reflect your story — raw, real, and unforgettable — I’d love to create with you.
