Hi! I'm Jeni Derrick, a mama, coffee lover, PNW native and a maternity, newborn, and motherhood photographer in the greater Seattle area. Becoming a mom is hands down the best thing that has ever happened to me. It is a dream come true and motherhood has reshaped me in ways I never knew possible, truly teaching me to slow down and notice the moments that truly matter. I have a deep appreciation for the quiet details that often go unnoticed, yet end up meaning the most. I’m walking this path right alongside you, and I know firsthand how quickly these days pass.
I’ve always had a passion for photography and once dreamed of becoming a photographer, my dad bought me my first camera when I turned 13 years old. When I had my son, I remember hearing “the newborn phase flies by" and thinking, yeah right. The sleepless nights felt endless. But now I look back and wonder how it went so fast and find myself missing all the tiny details and moments with him. Time moves differently in those early days. That’s why capturing them matters so much. Because photos become the memories you don’t realize you’ll miss until they’re already gone. I have always loved taking photos but it wasn’t until I became a mother myself that I finally felt called to document these fleeting seasons for other mothers in the Seattle area. This shared experience allows me to approach your story with intention and emotion, thoughtfully preserving the in-between moments, love, and connection that make it uniquely yours.
When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me snuggling my sweet baby, enjoying an iced latte with my husband, exploring the Pacific Northwest or dreaming of our next travel adventure. I’m so glad you’re here and I can’t wait to tell your story and turn these fleeting moments into images you’ll treasure for a lifetime!
I am Here to ensure your motherhood story is documented with the intention it deserves.
