MEET JEN
ME
As a mother to two adventurous boys and a wife to an incredibly supportive husband, I know the importance of capturing life’s fleeting moments. I grew up on a horse farm in Fauquier County, Virginia, where we’re now raising our own family, immersed in the natural beauty and history of this unique region. My journey into photography has been anything but ordinary. Before embracing photography full-time, I channeled my creativity as the co-owner of a clothing line and served as the Editor-in-Chief of Middleburg Life magazine, experiences that honed my eye for style, storytelling, and detail.
When I’m not behind the lens, you can find me hiking, kayaking, catching live music, or traveling to new destinations around the globe. Having lived in Rome, Italy, I developed a love for experiencing and documenting the world’s beauty, a passion that I bring to every session. My goal is to create images that feel as genuine and timeless as the memories they capture, preserving the stories you’ll want to tell for a lifetime.
INSPIRED BY...
I’m drawn to the whimsy of wide-open fields with overgrown grass, the enchantment of English-style gardens, and the faded blue peaks of distant mountains. Endless farm fencing, old stone walls on rolling hills, and sunlit reflections on the water captivate me. I find beauty in capturing people within these historic hunt country landscapes, styling them as though each scene were lifted from a timeless film.
Most importantly I have a love for others and I genuinely care about making them happy and I aim to accomplish this through my creative work.
TYPES OF SESSIONS...
Jennifer Gail Photography offers sessions for Couples, Weddings, Families, Motherhood, Maternity, and Newborns. I also offer studio-style headshots, and small business brand photography packages.

"We absolutely loved working with Jennifer Gray! She was amazing. Very patient and understanding with the kids, and very eager to get my input and utilize any ideas I had for the photos. She knows how to work the natural light and the gorgeous scenery VA has to offer. We love how our photos turned out and it was just an absolute pleasure working with her."

"Jen took our summer portraits this past season. It was so much fun working with her. She is professional and a natural in the field. My kids were anything but cooperative. Jen’s patience, kind words, and keen ability to grab the perfect shot in the midst of utter chaos, is beautifully and naturally captured in each final photo provided. She is a dream to work with and so talented. I highly recommend her work for your future endeavors.”

"I had so much fun at our maternity shoot! All we had to do was show up. Jen picked out a beautiful spot and helped give this fashion novice some tips on what to wear. We brought our dog and were able to get some fun pictures with her as well as some sweet ones together with baby to be. The pictures came out natural and not posed looking which is what I wanted."
