Elopement and lifestyle family photography that captures real love, real life, and everything in between.

The Best Moments
Are the Ones
You Didn’t Plan For.

I believe in storytelling over staging and the beauty of a connection. Whether you’re eloping in the most gorgeous landscape, or chasing toddlers at golden hour, your story deserves to be remembered—exactly as it is.

Hey, I’m Jen—wife, mama,

and the heart behind

J. Nicotri Photography.

If you’re here, you’re not just after pretty pictures—you want to feel something when you look back. The quiet before baby arrives. The blur of newborn days. The beautiful mess of family life. Or that wild love that made you say yes on a mountaintop. I get it—because I’ve lived it. I missed documenting my daughter’s newborn stage, and it still aches. When my son was born, I made a promise: never again. That promise turned into a calling—leaving behind 15 years in business to capture stories that matter. This isn’t just photography. It’s a full experience—crafted with care, curated with intention, and built to help you slow down and hold on. From luxury heirloom albums to a client wardrobe and session prep that feels effortless, every detail is handled. Licensed, insured, CPR certified—and deeply human. I'm here to help you feel seen, celebrated, and wrapped in something real.

The Client Wardrobe — Thoughtfully Styled, Effortlessly You

Worried about what to wear? Don’t be.
My curated client wardrobe is filled with soft, timeless pieces for mamas, babies, and growing families—so you can stop stressing about outfits and start feeling fully present.

From flowing dresses to the coziest newborn knits, every piece photographs like a dream and was hand-selected to make you feel beautiful, comfortable, and completely you.

It’s just one of the ways I take care of the details—so you can focus on the moments.
