I'm a wedding, adventure, and lifestyle photographer from northern California, with my BFA in Photography. My passion has always been capturing the world in a new light, documenting memories that will last a lifetime, and sharing my enthusiasm for life as I go. I have a deep desire to tell people's stories, and that is what drives me to create art, and capture love and light wherever I can.
My second love, in addition to photography, is traveling and I take my camera with me wherever I go. In the past few years I've been lucky enough to incorporate travel into my business more than ever before, and I hope to make that a trend for years to come. I spend more time on the road than at home these days, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
If you would like to shoot with me or let me capture your love story, whether you're down the street or across the ocean, feel free to reach out! Send me an email at whitneyjustesenphoto@gmail.com, or fill out a contact form on my website. I'd love to hear from you!

I am in love with the tender and happy moments that Whitney captured on our wedding day! The bridals she took of us are stunning and we love all the photos we have with our families! She was a dream to work with! Could not recommend her more!

Beautiful pictures, great experience!
We hired Whitney for our Marin elopement and could not be happier with her service! First, she was incredibly helpful in helping us plan the day and was flexible to adjust her service to what we wanted. Second, she is absolutely lovely! We were apprehensive that taking pictures alone with a "stranger" would be uncomfortable but she was just great - hyping us up and making us feel like models. Lastly, our pictures are GORGEOUS! Our friends and family (and we!) keep swooning over them and saying how they look taken from a magazine. 10/10 !

Amazing photographer and awesome person!
We hired Whitney to shoot our maternity and newborn photos during COVID 19. Not only was she incredibly responsive (and flexible!) but she worked to get us beautiful photos while maintaining a social distance. Her personality so fun and easy to be around, making my usually husband (who hates getting his photo taken) very comfortable. We are obsessed with our photos and will treasure them always. I can't wait to use Whitney for our next baby!

Whitney is truly one of a kind!
I had been wanting to book with Whitney ever since she took photos for my manager's wedding, and I had already been sending people her way even before booking with her just because I thought her photos were stunning. A family occasion (non-wedding) came up and I was so glad we were finally able to work together. Whitney is so professional, approachable, and really makes the session all about you. She takes the time to learn your story and make you feel at ease within the first seconds of meeting her. It really feels like we're just being ourselves in the photos—quirkiness & all—and it's embraced and welcomed instead of feeling super stage-directed and not like us at all. Whitney was incredible with setting expectations of when we would receive our photos, and, DANG, was it worth the (short) wait! She's such a gem and I would absolutely send people her way/work with her again in a heartbeat.

Whitney is incredible!
Whitney shot my small family only wedding in November 2020 and was an absolute joy to work with. We had only spoken once through video early in the year and closer to our date we communicated via e-mail to nail down specifics and ask any questions that came up. She is extremely professional, has amazing energy, and her work speaks for itself. Stunning and AMAZING!!! We loved all of our images as well as the quick turnaround time and layout/presentation viewable on the web. I look forward to working with her again in the future and would give her the highest recommendation.

Highly recommend
Whitney was brilliant to with with. We were scheduled to take our engagement photos in Italy and then covid happened. When I described to her my very specific non tradition or cliche engagement photos she immediately got it. She knew the location in and out and was able to make the most out of our time shooting together. What is also really important is she was afraid to give good direction. We had to change outfits during the shoot and she was super helpful and really efficient trying to capture the best lighting. I adored our photos! Very classy and beautiful quality.

Wonderful, professional and awesome!
Whitney has great energy and an eye for capturing all of the precious moments. She was upbeat and gave us a good mix of posed photos and candids. She is a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her talents.

Master of her craft
Whitney is a goddess and captured our wedding day in ways that absolutely exceeded expectations. We were blown away by the photos but also by her warmth, sincerity, and professionalism. We’ll definitely be working with Whitney in the future and cannot recommend her enough.

Exceptional photographer
We found Whitney through some of our friends (she shot their wedding) and we hired her to do a family and newborn shoot. It was quick, efficient, totally worth the money and she wasn't freaked out by the chaos that is two kids under 18 months. Love her!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
Incredibly kind and talented photographer. Rarely do you ever meet someone who is as sweet as they are talented and Whitney absolutely fits the bill! We will absolutely recommend Whitney for your wedding because she will take care of you and leave you with the most incredible photos!
