Jenny Krantz

Jenny fell in love with photography because it’s one of the most powerful ways to freeze time—capturing the real, everyday moments that might otherwise be forgotten. Her style leans into the beautifully unscripted—those crooked toddler smiles, natural laughter, and leg-clinging hugs that say more than words ever could. Whether she’s photographing families, events, or her own four children (who have millions of photos to prove it), her goal is always the same—to preserve the messy, beautiful in-between and help you remember life exactly as it is, before it changes again.
