Where You Can Be You
Where You Can Be You
Hello, my name is Jennifer (or Jen for short).
I am the business owner and operator of Fleetingtime Photography, which was created and opened in 2013. My business is my baby, and everything that happens within the business, from first contact, marketing, finances, photo-taking, and editing is all done by me.
I specialize in the following photography:
Maternity| Newborn| Family| Portraits| Milestones|Couples| Travel
Being a photographer is wonderful, difficult, rewarding, and many times just plain confusing. Many times, the photographer has an idea of what the photo should look like (in his/her head), but things don't always work out as planned. But perseverance and patience are key to getting the shot. So, never give up. Photography is a journey that takes a lifetime.

"We had the pleasure of having Jen take our pregnancy pictures as well as our newborn pictures. She did such an amazing job and we can not recommend her enough. She was very flexible and generous with her time. When the time came for our newborn pictures she spent so much quality time making sure the baby was full, warm, and just comfortable, she even let us include my mum in the pictures, which wasn't part of the plan, but she graciously allowed us to.
Jen is professional and passionate about her photography, and it shows in every single shot she takes. We will treasure those pictures forever, so thank you Jen for that you shall never be forgotten"
Esmeralda J. - Panama, C.Amer.
“Dear Jennifer
Thank you again for the beautiful photos you took of Emma. We really love it and it is something we can keep forever.
You found a way to capture every precious moment on camera. You truly have a special gift and we can't thank you enough for taking the time. I envy your skills and would like to thank you for doing such a great job for us. You are such a talented photographer, and we were thrilled with the results of your work.
Kind regards"

"I was grateful to be a part of Jennifer's photo shoot. At first, I was very hesitant to join because I didn't have any experience, but then I decided to give it a try and I don't regret it! I love how well our pictures were taken! Perfect click without any doubt. Jennifer was very kind to us during the photo shoot. During the shoot, she encouraged us with positive thoughts and made us feel at ease. She brought out all the right emotions for us. She is very professional in every way. Thank you Jennifer, for such a wonderful experience."

I wear many hats in my business, but every aspect is lovingly completed by me. Each client becomes part of my extended family and is treated with love, respect, and care during every aspect of the photography process. Photography has been in my blood since childhood, but eleven years ago I decided to study photography and started my life as a professional photographer, after spending a few decades in the corporate world. Although many photographers have influenced my work along the way, I have created my style which I consider to be more natural with minimal editing to remove blemishes.
I grew up in the Republic of South Africa, but have been very fortunate to be able to visit and live in different countries which has all added to my personal growth as well as allowed me to make friends in different corners of the globe. I currently live in Panama (Central America) with my wonderful husband, dog and cat.
I am also passionate about personal development, so I am continually learning new skills that all add to my life experience and knowledge.
Since I love yoga, I became a certified yoga teacher in 2017 and thus spend most evenings either doing my beloved yoga or giving yoga classes.
I received the calling for teaching and fell in love with

Since I love yoga, I became a certified yoga teacher in 2017 and thus spend most evenings either doing my beloved yoga or giving yoga classes.
I received the calling for teaching and fell in love with the teaching profession. So, I completed my Masters of Art in International Education in 2022. In September 2024, I start my second Masters in Education.
Nowadays, I spend my days being an English teacher and professional photographer, which brings me immense satisfaction and joy. In my spare time, I love to knit my photography props, embroider small projects, read, travel, or take long walks with my husband. I also love Christmas and coffee.
If you have any questions, please let me know, as I would love to hear from you.
