Photographer, teacher, and lover of finding the beauty in the mundane.
Jennifer has been a Bend local for the past 25 years and has an immense love of this place and its natural beauty. Her passion is helping clients capture important memories and milestones by finding the perfect backdrop to tell their story. She specializes in senior portraits, family portraits, and branding photography.
She has been a high school teacher for over 20 years, making her uniquely qualified to work with seniors as they embark on their next chapter. She has over 5 years of professional senior portrait experience and finds it her favorite kind of portraiture. Connecting and building strong relationships with her students has always been her biggest strength as a professional educator, and she brings that warmth and openness to her senior portrait clients as well.
The name of this business, Jen Lee Photography, is inspired by her late grandfather, Lee, from whom she got her middle name. Jennifer loves building and being involved in community and, as a long-time Bendite, has strong connections throughout Central Oregon. She has worked not only with teens and tweens, but also various non-profits, businesses, and families in a multitude of ways.
Her photographic style is casual and documentary in nature. She strives to help her clients capture their authentic selves through her images and provides a laid-back and easy-going atmosphere to make everyone comfortable and ready for the session. She is also a bit of a self-proclaimed perfectionist and takes great pride in hand-editing each image by hand.
