Jennifer Brindley

Jennifer Brindley was born on August 15th, 1982 in Northglenn, CO. She is a professional photographer and storm chaser based out of Milwaukee, WI. She is known for her appearances in The Road to El Reno (2013) and Storm Chasing: The Anthology (Post Production.) Jennifer operates a private boutique portrait studio in Milwaukee, WI. When she is not photographing people, she is photographing supercells. Jennifer saw her first supercell thunderstorm in 2006, and since then has traveled almost 200,000 miles across the United States in search of severe weather and tornadoes. She has documented almost 50 tornadoes including the largest tornado on record - the El Reno tornado - at 2.6 miles wide with wind speeds topping out at 301mph. Each year between March and June, Jennifer puts in around 20,000 miles storm chasing with her long-time chase partner, Skip Talbot. Jennifer has spoken at several severe weather and storm chasing conventions across the country, and has had her work published in a number of newspapers and magazines both nationally and internationally. She has appeared in two documentary film productions and has been interviewed in several radio interviews and podcasts. She also served as a consultant and art contributor for a short film about a female storm chaser. Additionally, Jennifer works hard to connect with others in the industry and give back to the communities she sees devastated by severe weather through programs that mean something to her - including co-founding a tornado victim charity organization, and working as support crew on an IMAX documentary film. These projects have led her to tornado science research.
