I’m the face behind Jennifer Mary Collective - a brand rooted in soulful storytelling, intentional imagery, and empowering women to stand confidently in front of the lens. Whether you're launching a brand, scaling your business, or capturing the in-between, I’m here to reflect your brilliance back to you.
What began with a Polaroid sticker camera in elementary school became a lifelong passion for helping bold-hearted entrepreneurs feel seen. I split my time between Charleston, SC and Baltimore, MD - armed with Nerds candy, a deep love of black & white film, and the belief that visuals should feel as good as they look.
I'm Jen - Your brand & Wedding photographer, creative storyteller, and enneagram 6w7 with big reflector energy!
Hi friend!
Currently obsessed with: vintage pink glassware, coastal sunsets, anything lemon-flavored, and a solid Spotify playlist that fuels creative flow.
"I believe branding photography should reflect your soul - not just your service."
Before it was my career, photography was my creative refuge.
As a first-generation American-Lebanese girl growing up in Maryland, I found solace in storytelling; especially the in-between, unposed moments. I practically lived in the darkroom in high school and later minored in Photography at Shepherd University while majoring in Marketing.
After years in Corporate America, I felt creatively stifled. During the pandemic, I reignited my passion, applied for my LLC in March 2021, and took Jennifer Mary Photography full-time after a layoff that May.
Today, Jennifer Mary Collective is so much more than photos. It’s a mirror for creative women - reflecting back the magic that’s already inside you.

Secret Weapon
I’m a curly-haired, Old Bay-loving, American-Lebanese creative with one foot in Charleston and a heart rooted in Maryland. First-generation daughter of immigrant parents, not remotely Southern - but I will say y’all if the vibe is right. Just a girl trying to build a business, stay hydrated, and romanticize her life one iced coffee at a time.
