Connected as Jennifer Schwartz (1697 friends)

I am a lot of things. I am a mother, a photographer, a business woman and a good friend. I love hard, I care deeply, and I speak my mind. Two years ago I opened a photography gallery as a way to support artists, promote photography and engage people in art.
