Hello
I've always been an artist at heart, though I don't have the typical stories of growing up with a camera in hand or learning photography from my grandpa. While I did snap plenty of pictures of friends and my travels as a student ambassador, for me, it wasn't about the photography—it was about capturing memories and documenting life.
My passion for photography truly began in college at Biola University. I started out pursuing a degree in graphic design, seeking an art career that felt practical. However, the long hours spent in a dark room in front of a computer drained the joy from my creative process. Everything changed during my sophomore year, when I took my first photography class. It opened my eyes to a new world, and by the end of that semester, I switched my focus to photography. In 2006, I graduated with a BFA in Studio Art with an emphasis in photography (and a minor in biblical studies), and I’ve never regretted that decision.
In the summer of 2004, I was blessed with an internship at Hume Lake Christian Camps, where my journey in event and marketing photography truly began. Every day presented a new challenge, as I captured everything from journalism to product photography. That experience ignited my love for dynamic and diverse photographic work.
In 2009, I decided to further hone my craft by completing an intensive six-month career program at the Rocky Mountain School of Photography in Missoula, Montana. What an incredible experience that was! It brought out the true joy of seeing the world and life through a lens. After returning to Palm Desert, California, I launched Jennifer Yount Photography.
My dad always told me to make my hobby a career so that I don't have to work. I am truly blessed to do what I love every day.
a glimpse behind the camera
Portraits that bring tears of joy. Sessions filled with laughter. Forging bonds, both momentary and lifelong. These are the moments I love as a photographer! We were created for connection with God and with others, and photography is our catalyst for connection.
For us, it all starts with faith. We believe that God made each and every one of us to be unique, valuable, and filled with purpose. And as photographers, it’s our mission both to display that spark of authenticity in our work as well as to find the spark of authenticity in the faces, moments, and settings we photograph.
AUTHENTICITY

Our commitment to see the genuine spark in everyone leads straight to a calling toward excellence. It’s a responsibility and an honor to capture life’s meaningful moments, and we take that very seriously. We always strive to provide the highest service to our clients, from planning to photography to presentation.
Professionalism
2.
NO.
Our desire to capture authentic moments with excellence drives our passion for creativity. Only by continually pushing to try new things, look at life from new angles, and connect with people in new ways can we truly discover the richness of life we long to share with the world. The result is a zeal to glorify God through creative expression!
