Jennifer Skinner Portraits
An award-winning portrait photographer, with 20 years as a professional photographer (and as a parent myself). I bring a calm, easygoing approach to every session. I’ve photographed hundreds of people in Marin County, the Bay Area, and beyond. I photograph families, seniors, professionals, and brands in natural light, using candid moments and beautiful locations to create classic, honest portraits.
Whether we shoot at your home, workplace, or outdoors, I aim to capture the spirit of who you are. I know being in front of the camera can feel awkward—that’s why I focus on creating a relaxed, connected experience that’s often more fun than expected. I still get excited about each photo session; every experience is unique, and every outcome matters to me.
The Bay Area has been my home for over 33 years, and I never tire of our beautiful surroundings. I was awarded Marin Magazine’s Best Photographer of the Year in 2022, 2023, & 2024, and my work has been featured in many publications. Along with my photography education, my background includes corporate marketing, entrepreneurship, and working in schools.
My husband, Sam, and I live in Marin and have two children, who are young adults. I never tire of discovering new locations & meeting the fascinating people who live in our area. When I’m not creating photographs, I enjoy hiking with friends, traveling, volunteering, and being with family. I donate regularly to community schools and nonprofits.
My photography work includes family portraits, high school seniors, professional headshots, and brand/lifestyle photography.
