Hi, I'm Jen

The photographer behind Mad Violet Photography

I photograph people doing the things that matter to them. Running a business. Finishing senior year. Playing the game they love.
We shoot where you live, work, and play. Outdoors, at your office, or right there on the field.
My job is to make you comfortable. Your job is to show up as you. Great photos come from there.

Photography for every season of life and business.

Sport Portraits & Team Media Days

Picture your athlete with that pro, game-poster look. I do solo sessions with posed and action shots, plus media days for whole teams. Everyone gets social-ready photos they'll actually want to share.

Live Game Coverage

You're busy cheering. Let me catch the big moments. I photograph live games for specific player(s) or the whole team, so you can stay in the stands and still get the shots.

Senior

Portraits

High school senior or college grad, this milestone deserves photos that feel like you. We'll pick a spot that fits your style and have some fun with it. No stiff poses required.

Professional Headshots

Let's be real, most people dread headshots. I'll walk you through every pose, so you end up with a photo that looks like you on a good day. Great for LinkedIn, your website, or your next listing.

Personal Branding

Your business and your life are part of the same story. Branding photos show both, from you at work to the moments in between. Made for solo business owners who want their marketing to feel real.

Commercial & Product Photography

Got a team, a storefront, or products to sell? I'll photograph your space, your people, and what you make, right at your location. Help customers know what to expect before they ever walk in.
