Hello Darling,

A long while ago I used to do photography and absolutely loved it. Capturing all those sweet life moments for clients was such a joy. But life got wild and crazy so I made the decision to take some time off (7 years) and focus on my family and myself. While life is still crazy, (especially when you have 4 kids) I am back. Doing what I love to help others capture forever while filling my cup.

I absolutely love the art of photography but also love the beauty in people. So I love to consider myself a light-editor photographer. I personally do not photoshop or remove things that make you "you". I am raising littles of my own who see my work. They literally .love to look at every session I do. I want them to know they are perfect just as they are and that starts with my work. Plus, I too find each of my clients beautiful.

Now, just for fun, 10 things about the lady behind the camera:

- My name is Jena Bonebrake-Black (hence the JB3 for short). I am a 25 year old (forever)wife and mother x's 4. W also have 3 dogs, chickens and a hamster so I operate extremely well in chaos. Never hesitate to book a session because of it - I am your girl.

- I pour my heart into my kids so if I can't do a session it's often because I am at their sports, dance, school, fundraising or just being a taxi for them in some way. I wouldnt have it any other way though.

- I am addicted to lifting really heavy weights. To me it's one of the most empowering things as a woman and a form of therapy.

- I am a huge advocate for breastfeeding. I nursed all my babies, donated thousands of ounces of milk and helped feed 27 ish babies. Which means nursing photos are beyond beautiful to me.

- I am a recovering people pleaser and have learned to just be me. I am big and extra and absolutely okay with that.

- Clearly I have a favorite side, so I will often ask my clients if they do too - I get it and want you confident during our sessions.

- I am a canon girly and was able to buy my baby a year ago - A Canon R6. But it's not the camera that creates the magic, I worked hard at my skill.

- I opened a studio in 2024 and am still in awe that's it's mine. Big reason I did this session in it. Dream BIG.

- I loveeeeeee tattoos and whenever I get one, I get three. Just my thing. That's all

- Starburst, unsweet tea, seltzers, Zaxby's House Zalads, froyo, cheesecake, my planner, the star, clothes, going to football or baseball games, dancing, Nsync for life, music, babies. Some favs - outside of taking pictures and everything I already listed.

Thank you for making my dream here come true - Y'all are the best and I am forever grateful. can't wait to capture more beautiful faces!
