About Me
Here's who I am beyond the camera
If you ask the people closest to me, they'd probably say I'm hardworking, caring, and funny in a dry, dark humor kind of way.
I'm thoughtful to a fault, quirky in ways I don't always recognize, and I'll drop everything for the people I love. I'm an ambivert who loves game nights and deep conversations but also needs quiet time with a book (paper copies when I can, audiobooks during busy season). I listen to everything from Lainey Wilson and Morgan Wallen to Nickelback and Godsmack. I show up to Super Bowl parties exclusively for the snacks, and my perfect day is a day that starts slow and ends with friends. I work hard, I care deeply, and I think life is better when you're genuinely invested in the people around you.
From senior photos to weddings and growing families, I’m here for every season of your story
What an honor it is to witness your life unfold
I fell in love with this work because of the people. The way a couple looks at each other when they think no one's watching. The way a child's hand fits perfectly in their mother’s, like it was always meant to. The way a senior lights up when they see themselves the way I see them: excited and ready for their next chapter. These moments are never overly posed. They're real, unfiltered, and so beautiful that I sometimes forget I'm working. Every session feels like a gift, and I never take that for granted! For me, it's about more than just photography. It's about creating an experience designed around you, your comfort, and your story. I want you to feel at home in your own skin during our time together. I want you to laugh easily, breathe deeply, and forget that there's a camera between us. And when you receive your gallery, I want you to see yourself the way the people who love you see you: wholly, beautifully, exactly as you are. So if you ask what really drives me, why I stay up late editing, obsess over the perfect lighting, and text you on your wedding morning just to say "I can’t wait to see you!", the answer is simple. I love what I do!
This isn't a job to me. It's a calling, a joy, and an honor!
"I could not recommend Jenna Gilmore enough."
I could not recommend Jenna Gilmore enough. She has been our photographer for couple photos, our wedding, and most recently our baby announcement. I truly can’t imagine trusting anyone else with these moments. She has an incredible way of making you feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera.
My husband hates getting his photo taken, and somehow Jenna always gets the most amazing photos of him. Every session feels relaxed and fun, and the photos always turn out even better than we could hope for. Jenna captures real emotion so beautifully, and we’ll continue to use her for every milestone ahead. Highly, highly recommend!

"Jenna by far exceeded all my expectations!"
Jenna by far exceeded all my expectations on our maternity shoot. She was clear and concise with directing photo positions, she got us on her schedule in a very timely manner, her communication was wonderful and she is fun to work with, she braved the freezing cold along side of us and got these beautiful photos. Highly recommend would definitely use her again!

"Highly recommend jenna to anyone!"
I am a Maine wedding planner and recently hired Jenna to do some headshots and a branding shoot for my wedding business rebrand! I found her through a mutual friend and was immediately drawn to the classic style of her editing -- not overly warm or bright, literally JUST right! She was so flexible with me during the booking process due to a full schedule, and on the day of the shoot was so ON THE BALL with my vision! I sent her some inspiration initially, and she absolutely nailed it -- not to mention she got me the final edits weeks before they were expected because she knew I wanted to market my new brand with them!!! Highly recommend her to anyone -- she is caring, flexible, and a total rockstar!!!
