ABOUT ME
If You have made it all the way here it means that You want to know a little bit about Your Photographer, so here are Five Facts "About Me":
1. I am a full time photographer, kind human, peanut butter addict, Jesus Follower and part time make-up artist & stylist;
2. I am married to the love of my life and best friend, Alwyn, who happens to be an exceptionally talented surf photographer aka AFV Photography and You will possibly have the pleasure of meeting him if You book with me (I'm a huge fan, can You tell?);
3. We are the parents to five (we have adoption issues, what can I say?) equally unique and naughty rescue kattens and just love living our chilled life, in our little home called "Vrede", by the ocean in Cape Town;
4. I believe that the only way to do great work is to love what you do and I am blessed enough to be living my art, appreciating each and every opportunity to record Precious Memories in time;
5. ... I also happen to be the Biggest Hopeless Romantic and cannot get through a wedding without a tissue.
...But what does this mean Jen?
I will take care of Your Special Moments with the utmost care, because I love People, I appreciate "the little things", I'm a sucker for LOVE and I LOVE WHAT I DO!

PARTNER - HOPE ART AFRICA
Impoverished women in Zambia & South Africa lovingly craft beautiful items by hand. The women earn an income and all profits are invested in caring for orphaned and vulnerable children in Zambia.
Hope Art started in July 2009, when the need to help orphans in Western Zambia became apparent. A group of impoverished and mainly HIV positive Zambian widows came together to uplift local orphans and rise above their own circumstances through creating beautiful, hand-made paper beads.
Hope Art has grown and expanded beyond paper beads to fashion bags and stuffed animals, hand stitched from socks. In August 2016, Hope Art launched a second location in South Africa. Most of the Hope Art artists are the sole providers for their families and through earning an income now, their live’s have changed dramatically with a new sense of self worth and purpose.
These unique products are sold worldwide with 100% of the profits being invested into the lives of vulnerable and orphaned children in Western Zambia. To date, Hope Art has been able to invest over three million into the Zambia Project providing clean drinking water, food, shelter, education, and healthcare to these children. Many orphans are now being cared for and their extended families uplifted, thereby benefiting the community as a whole.
I have the privilege of selling these incredible, one of a kind, made with love products on behalf of Hope Art and so doing making sure that YOU, get to make a difference with Ease!

MEMBER - CHRISTIAN SURFERS CAPE TOWN & SOUTH AFRICA
As the mission expanded and more clubs were formed, larger outreach projects were taken on such as hosting some of the largest contests on the local circuit (even with live Christian rock bands!) This led to youth camps with hundreds of wild groms, which led to the formation of more local clubs. From early days Sonsurf started to network with similar missions around the globe, and eventually around the turn of the millennium it was decided to form one international organisation and so the name was changed to Christian Surfers. A national office was established in Jeffreys Bay, along with an internship programme called CSALT to equip young people for surf ministry. A surf school in Strand was established and surf chaplaincy and service team ministries were birthed when CS was asked to serve at the ASP WCT event at J-Bay (Billabong Pro). And so our story continues as we share the Good News with our surf tribe and trust our God that every surfer and every surf community in South Africa will have an opportunity to know and follow Jesus.
