About

June 21, 2009
I’m Jennifer Meng-Strawhorne (Jenny), a Seattle native living in Coleraine with my husband and two fantastic children.  You’re likely to see a lot of them around here!

Because I accept a limited number of wedding and portrait sessions each month I am able to provide each of my clients with highly personalised service.  I love learning about you and your family and capturing little details and genuine interactions. Before studying photography I was a pre-school teacher, so I truly enjoy working with young children and families.  I understand the need for playfulness and breaks.   I love it when a child wants to show off his favourite toy or her princess bedroom.  Their joy makes these everyday things as captivating to me as they are to the children.

In my digital darkroom, I will carefully enhance your photos to show them at their absolute best. I will not airbrush all the character out of your faces. If you (or your child) have a temporary blemish, scratch, bruise, etc you’d like touched up, consider it done. However, if you’re interested in ‘Photoshop makeovers’ that change eye colour, face shape and body size… well, it’s a pretty safe bet I’m not the right photographer for you.  I believe in the natural beauty of all my subjects, so let your true colours shine through. :)
