Photography is a stunning form of artistic expression. The art of photography becomes more sophisticated and appreciated with time.
We are grateful to have the highest level of photography talent contributing to Ridgefield Lifestyle Magazine. We are proud to feature five local photographers who have poured their time, effort and talent into each issue. Here are each of their takes on what makes their work unique.
Jennifer Barrett of New Light Creative Services
I specialize in providing businesses, brands, creatives, and entrepreneurs with premium, compelling imagery. I draw inspiration from all of my clients. I watch, I listen, I help my clients find what makes them unique. I have been behind a camera for 30 years now, allowing my technical skills to evolve along with my passion. Whether I'm working with a multinational brand like Hellmann's Mayonnaise or a brand new business owner, I give each client the attention they deserve. I look at every person, business and project through the lens of what differentiates them. I'm inspired every day by local business owners that pour everything into what they do, and I'm grateful that they entrust me to tell their stories.

Kristen Jensen of Kristen Jensen Photography, LLC
I officially became a photographer in the summer of 2003 when I started working from my
home/photo studio in Ridgefield. I specialize these days in “Lifestyle” photo and video
assignments for businesses, advertising, editorials, celebrities and entrepreneurs to help
increase their overall visual branding. What makes me unique is over two decades of being
on the other side of the lens modeling and acting. I basically grew up in the business. My
style that has been created is that I only see the best in people, places, and things. My
clients say “It doesn’t feel like they’re being photographed” when I’m happily snapping
away. I make them feel at ease, which is a huge compliment and blessing.

Kate Wark of Kate Wark Photography
I'm a lifestyle photographer who captures professionals and families in their natural element. My specialty is personal branding photography that sparks confidence and business growth. I've operated KWP in the community for five years. I love my style of photography because showing up for your business and audience builds trust, propels business growth, and brings clients who want to work with YOU. The transformative power of showing yourself as part of your business strategy cannot be underestimated.

Jennifer Zarine of Jennifer Zarine Photography
I specialize in maternity, newborns and baby milestone sessions with an artistic and editorial vibe. Formerly a NYC singer/actress in a past life, a flair for the dramatic often shows in my photos, whether I’m obsessing over a dramatic sky or a large flowy gown.
I especially love working with pregnant women, understanding how insecure they can feel during this stage of life and will become their biggest hype girl! I also offer a unique client closet with over 100 gorgeous maternity gowns and accessories to choose from, and have been known to stop mid-session and start cutting pieces of fabric to fashion my own dress for a client. I photograph love, genuine connections and real moments in hopes that someday, when you look at your images, you’ll be taken back to that moment in time.

Jennie Carr of Jennie Carr Photography
My photos and paintings are my response to what I see and feel. They are my attempt to share some of that magic, truth and emotion. I have been making art since the beginning. I have always been like this, but now am even more so.
