Hello! 

I'm Jenny Cummings, and I am married to the love of my life, Marty.  We have two grown boys and are getting ready to welcome our second grandson into the world any day now!  I have always loved photography.  I was that person.  You know the one who had the camera at every single family get-together and who annoyed everyone by taking pictures, and lots of them.  The person who had pictures of her kids 5th birthday, your kids 5th birthday, your friend's cousin's 5th birthday. . . well, you get the idea! 

I had a career in insurance sales for over 15 years and then two events changed my life. First, my husband bought me a Cannon T1i DSLR camera for Valentine's Day in 2009.  As I began to learn and scratch the surface of what I could do with this camera, a spark was lit within me to become a better photographer.  I continued to take pictures anytime I had the opportunity, mostly of family and friends. It was just the beginning.  

The second thing that happened was in August of 2011 when we found out the baby girl that we were expecting had a chromosomal disorder called Trisomy 18, a condition that doctor's said was "incompatible with life."  Unfortunately, just as doctors predicted I delivered beautiful Lorris Louise via c-section 28 weeks into my pregnancy, stillborn.

I was completely unconscious during my delivery so afterward my memories of Lorris are very sketchy.  I am so thankful that my brother-in-law, picked up my camera and began snapping photos in the recovery room. I look at those photos today, three years later and they are priceless.  Because photos capture more than images they are a catalyst to trigger our memories.  I see myself holding my daughter and I can remember what she looked like, her perfect eyebrows and ten wonderful fingers and toes. Her tiny beautiful huge existence and the love that filled that room the night she was born. A visual representation of the goodness of God. My boys, they see her too and they know that she was their sister, and they have those photos to look back on.  Someone picking up a camera was a blessing then, is a blessing now, and will continue to be a blessing for years to come as we look at those photos and remember Lorris. 

My heart's desire is to bless others by picking up my camera, just like someone did for me that night.  I want to capture moments that spark memories that will be shared with generations to come. You never know the impact these images can have on a person or a family.  

You just never know. . .
