Hi, I am Jen Yancey

I am a wife and mom of three crazy and beautiful children. I was born and raised in Greensboro, North Carolina. After studying Interior Architecture at UNC-Greensboro my husband, my oldest and I moved to Baltimore, MD where I worked for an architecture firm. Although it was my dream job we didn't stay in Baltimore long. 

We moved to Belmont, NC with dreams of working at a firm there and my husband working for a race car team building cars. Unfortunately these dreams were over shadowed by the crash of the 2008 economy. My husband and I were unable to find job in our fields. Therefore I spend three years as a stay at home mom, giving birth to baby #2 in 2008 and baby #3 in 2011. 

We moved back to Greensboro in the spring of 2011 and we were happy to be home. Around the time my youngest turned one I started to want to go back to work, but I knew there was no way we could afford that with three kids. Before becoming a "professional" photographer I had always loved photography even at a young age. My dad was a cinema photographer and also did work in still photography. I certainly didn't plan to become a photographer it kind of just found me. 

​My favorite part about being a photographer is capturing personalities and building friendships with my clients. Outside of photographer I spend most of my time in the school pick up line. Balancing family and photography is certainly challenging, but I wouldn't change it for anything. My family is very active in our church, where I serve on the Elementary team.

Thank you so much for stopping by to learn about me and I hope that I will get the opportunity to work with you and capture something amazing. 

Cheers, Jen
