behind the lens
If you're here, we already have something in common – we both appreciate images that leave a lasting impact.
I'M JEN Parente
Let me catch you up.
My career in photography started 16 years ago with a dream job in media and journalism. I spent over 10 years as a photojournalist while furthering my education in off camera lighting, portraiture, headshots, lifestyle and event photography and landed myself in multiple publications and magazines such as People Magazine, Westchester Magazine, The Trade and Best Version Media.
I quickly became the go-to for dynamic lifestyle and branding photography. I’ve dedicated myself to expertly crafting images that elevate the visual identity of everyone I work with. My business has partnered with vetted production companies that serve the larger corporate arena and we continue to build and serve in bigger ways with bigger teams. When clients feel like they’ve known you forever after one session or event, it’s a testament to the genuine connections we create as professionals.
I’m the proud Mom of two incredible kids. My son, a United States Marine, (and a musician) and my 11 year old daughter who’s every bit of the free spirit I am. I love being a mother, a business owner and my studies in mindset coaching, personal development and wellness have been a highlight in my life.
Take your time to explore my portfolio, and I can't wait to connect with you!
