She studied psychology, sociology, and anthropology at York University in Toronto and graduated with an English degree. A closer look at genealogy indicated ethnic ties to China, The Philippines, and the Pacific Islands. Being born in one country but growing up in another allowed her to become immersed in and identify with the cultures and traditions of both. In the early 2000s, Jeni moved to Nashville, TN. Jeni is a portrait photographer, specializing in capturing families at their most natural and beautiful. She currently works in the public school system in an elementary school that, because of its socio-economical, cultural, and racial diversity, allows her to see the importance of representation. Raising a child of mixed race to be proud of all of the elements that make up his heritage has always been of high importance; that means making sure that minority cultures are accurately represented proudly for all readers.view less
