redtail began in 2011 as a project for husband and wife team Chris and Jenni Harlow.  The business is the combination of Jenni’s eye for photography and Chris’s mind for business.

 

Jenni is a graduate of Miami University where she studied photography and psychology. Yearning to establish a connection between art and behavioral science she integrated her love of people and art into her photography business. Intuitive and creative, Jenni uses cues from the client-camera interaction to direct the shoot, maintaining flexibility in her process and style. The produced result is a psychological connection to not only the image, but the memory of the experience captured on film.

 

The roots that were planted at Miami continue to hold Jenni in place as a photographer. From these roots emerge the founding principles of redtail photo:

  • Never be afraid to take a picture. It is fear that makes the image a success.

  • Consider every possible solution and capture the subject as a whole. Showcase every angle of a subject.

  • Connect with the subject. It is important to showcase this connection in film, and to understand the way a person views themselves in order to best capture that person.
