I'm so happy because I finally reached 2K✌🏼 followers ▪︎ It's so encouraging to see how much people like my photos. I like to use Instagram as a creative outlet and as a way to share the beauty of the world with others. Hopefully I do a good job at it!😊 Thanks so much for following me and my adventures! Maybe one of these days I'll plan a giveaway so I can give back to my awesome followers🙏🏼 ▪︎ SWIPE to see the before and after of this pic. How did my edit turn out?

Be a ray of sunshine in someone's cloudy sky☀️☁️ ▪︎ Full transparency: editing this photo was a lot of work! I spent hours trying to get it just right and I still feel like I could improve it more. Even though editing is a long process, I always edit my photos because the end results are so worth it. Check out my stories to see the before and after of this pic! ▪︎ I've also been getting lots of questions about my editing process. I always use Adobe Lightroom to edit my pics but I also used Photoshop for this one (but am not an expert there). Would anyone be interested if I made Lightroom tutorials or sold presets? It's something I've been thinking about for a while now. ▪︎ Also, thank you to @get.casely for gifting me this beautiful case. If you're interested in getting your own case, use the code JEN30 for 30% off your order!

A picnic sounds like a good idea until the ants invade😖🐜 ▪︎ I still can't believe it felt like the middle of summer a few days ago and now we're in full-blown sweater weather. I'm so ready for pumpkin patches and apple cider🍎 who else is excited for fall? ▪︎ Shop this dress in my @poshmark closet! @jxnniferalvarez ❤ #poshaffiliate #ad

A little known fact about me is that I took a film photography course two years ago. It was my first time learning about photography and how to properly operate a manual camera. I learned how to develop negatives and create my own pictures in a darkroom. This was the beginning of my journey as a photographer and I am still learning every day. After finishing this class, I actually purchased my first DSLR because I could not stand being without a camera😂 To me, photographing the world is about being able to capture the world's beauty. It's also a way for me to show others how I view the world. ▪︎ What are you passionate about?

《Live for moments you cannot put into words》 I've been so fortunate to have been able to travel to some of the prettiest places in the world. It's not every day when you get to marvel at the incredible beauty our world has to offer. This waterfall is located in Ecuador and is over 150 meters high! It's so hard to imagine the scale of that but it's about as tall as a 40-story building! I think it's amazing that places like this occur naturally. Speaking about beautiful places, I just wrote a new blog post on some amazing places to visit in Costa Rica! Check it out if you're planning a trip to this gorgeous country. Link in bio!

A year ago today, I left for a semester abroad in Ecuador. It was my first time leaving the U.S. and the beginning of a journey that would challenge me in ways I never imagined. I learned about how truly magnificent our world is and it inspired me to continue to seek out opportunities to explore this beautiful place we call home. I'm so fortunate to have been able to go on this trip. It was a life-changing experience that I'll never forget❤ • Also shoutout to @kylaminster for taking this pic☺️

What's the craziest thing I did in Costa Rica? It was ziplining over the cloud forest in Monteverde. It was my first time ziplining so I was really anxious but the ziplining itself was not scary at all. The real killer was the Tarzan swing that they saved for last. They take you to this platform 100 meters high before they drop you! It feels like you're in free fall for a few seconds before you start swinging. SWIPE RIGHT➡️ to see a video of my (very scared) reaction during the swing. Warning: there are a lot of swear words🤷🏽‍♀️ • I also wrote a blog post on my experience ziplining and gave advice for those who are interested in trying it out for themselves. ☆Link in bio!☆

《Collect moments, not things》 I'd much rather try something new and visit interesting places than buy a new purse or shoes. I'm trying to battle the heavy consumerism culture that I've grown accustomed to. Being able to travel has shown me that the things that really matter in life are not material; it's all about the experiences you are able to have.
