"Your energy introduces you before you even speak."

MEL ROBBINS

i'm already dreaming of our session. YOU MAY THINK I'M JOKING, BUT I'M NOT. 


MY NAME IS JENN WILSON, AND I'M A MICHIGAN-BASED LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHER IN THE DOWNRIVER & METRO DETROIT AREA. I SPECIALIZE IN AT-HOME NEWBORN SESSIONS & MATERNITY SESSIONS.


I'M A WIFE & MAMA TO TWO GIRLS. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN DRAWN TO LIVE A CREATIVE, IMPERFECTLY PERFECT LIFE. i'm in love with photography and capturing real, authentic moments. as my girls grow i can now recognize how important these fleeting moments truly are. they're beautiful and bittersweet.


the cool thing about photography is the ability to stop time, just for a bit. these photos become our memories, and heirlooms. our story. and for that reason i feel it's important to keep them true-to-life but vibrant in color. what drew me to photography was the ability to create art using natural light. emotive b&w images speak to my soul.


i get to meet new people, and be invited in to their personal space. i try to make it a relaxed experience so you can just enjoy yourself while i capture the beauty and connection. so if any of this resonates with you i'd love to chat.

TRUST ME, I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU WANT TO HOLD ON TO EVERY SECOND.

BECAUSE I WANT TO ALSO. MY GIRLS KIERNAN & ABIGAIL ARE MY WORLD. AND I STARTED TO REALIZE, THIS WON'T BE FOREVER. IT'S A SINKING FEELING TO KNOW THAT ONE DAY MY HOUSE WILL BE QUIET, AND THEY WILL BE OFF ON THEIR OWN.

IT GIVES YOU A WHOLE NEW APPRECIATION FOR THOSE LITTLE MOMENTS, THE ONES YOU DESPERATELY HOPE YOU'LL NEVER FORGET.

Life is made up of all the tiny moments & adventures.


HERE ARE SOME OF MINE.
