Hi, I’m Jen Serena — photographer, collaborator, and visual strategist.

I work at the intersection of brand storytelling, editorial polish, and commercial clarity. My focus is on capturing intentional imagery that feels honest, modern, and meaningful — always rooted in what your audience needs to see and feel.

Much of my commercial work is shot alongside a motion crew — a collaborative process that allows for streamlined production and stronger results across both video and stills. It’s a delicate but deliberate balance, designed to create cohesive, versatile content without doubling efforts.

What sets me apart? Efficiency without compromise. I know time is often the most limited resource on set, and I approach every project with preparation, intuition, and a commitment to making the most of every moment. Clients appreciate the calm, focused energy I bring — and the thoughtful, refined visuals we create together.

I love what I do.
With a background in nonprofits and documentaries, I deeply understand the power of a good story — and how to tell it in a way that feels both grounded and impactful. That experience taught me the value of a well-kept (but flexible) timeline, and how to create meaning on a streamlined budget — lessons I carry into every project, big or small.

A little more about me:
I’m a detail-oriented person — but only when it comes to my shoots. I grow a small food garden but still can’t pass up a Publix sub. I love to travel and experience new things, especially with my family. I’m incredibly grateful for all of life’s experiences, big and small. Also, I was named “Jazz Soloist of the Southeast” in high school — and while that was a really long time ago, it still makes me smile.

Let’s build something meaningful — one frame, one story, at a time.
