Jennifer Vera's Photography

What Photography Is To Jennifer Vera-

When a button is pressed on a camera, are you taking a picture or creating a lifetime of stories?  For me the answer would be creating a lifetime of stories.  Well that is what I do, I create a lifetime of stories with my camera.  Like a artist with a paintbrush, I see myself as an artist with a camera.  Our world is based on photos of storytelling.  Photos tell us about far distant places that we may never see, they tell us about Mother Nature and her babies, which we often can not touch.  Photos tell us about our ancestors who we will never meet.  Stories are what interest us and what I create through my camera.  When I photograph a baby, I am showing the details of that child.  The details their mother and father will forever hold in their minds, but what people can see on paper.  When a man and woman say "I Do", that is captured forever with the push of my button.  When a mother holds her unborn child in her womb, those are images that will be shown for generations too come.

Who We Are

I started this photography business in October of 2005.  My son's are my biggest inspiration.  I am a self taught photographer born and raised in Joliet, IL.  I am always researching and keeping up with the latest photography trends, along with utilizing my own style.  Yes it is true, I do not have any fancy photography degrees hanging on my wall, but what I do have is my passion and longtime memories captured through photographs.  I love being able to offer couples an affordable way to capture their special day.  As well as offering them a personal relationship with their photographer, which you can't always get from the bigger chained photography businesses.
