This expanding family is very close to my heart!  Michele first contacted me for family portraits last Fall.  (I blogged their session HERE)   I heard from her again at the beginning of the year when she asked me to take some professional yoga pictures for her.  Michele is an amazingly talented yoga instructor, it was […]

I LOVE my multi-family photoshoots.  I have tried to explain to my kids and husband why I love them so much but I know they just don’t quite get it.  So, on my last family reunion session I invited Regan to assist me for this session and she happily obliged.  Reg’s often assists me and […]

It’s been a pretty intense summer this year!  Lots of photoshoots, families, newborns, and SENIORS!  I know I’ve neglected my blog for months now, but I promise I will get caught up soon! This latest shoot is one of my ‘Year In The Life’ families.  Baby Ella is 4 months old now and cute-as-a-button!  We had a great […]

    Ella is so cute and looks like she’s always happy, great family pictures! I look forward to seeing more! I’ve had monthly pictures of my kids during their first year and annually thereafter, but we’ve never done an outdoor shoot, great concept, I love it!ReplyCancel

    I “super-like” the bird’s-eye shot showing Ella’s back. This is the first time I actually show that concept. The composition of the shows are awesome, but of course you need a good subject to accomplish that. Great shots!ReplyCancel

The unexpected bonus of my job is that I get to meet amazingly interesting people and Michele was one such client.  When she came over for her family portrait consultation, we hit it off instantly.  She is former military officer who currently works as a yoga instructor in Jackson.  We found that we share a […]

Go ahead.  Ask anyone that knows my parents and they will totally back me up.  I have the best parents ever.  And my kids have the best grandparents ever.  I literally struggle for words when it comes to describing how awesome they are.  And not, ‘awesome’, like, “Wow, that chocolate donut was awesome!” but rather […]

    We wish we could put into words what we felt while reading this, Jennifer. Unfortunately, you did not get your writing abilities from us. We can only hope that, as a parent, you know your heartfelt words touched us beyond belief. Your kind words will live in our hearts for the rest of our lives. You are, and always have been, a thoughtful, loving daughter.ReplyCancel

    Okay Jenn, so if the post wasn’t enough to evoke some tears, the pictures surely do!! I’ve never personally met either of your parents, but over the years of our friendship, I’ve heard SO much about them. These pictures are such a beautiful way to show all they’ve been through together as a couple, as parents, as grandparents, and as friends. You can see the love in their eyes, and that’s priceless. Great job capturing the emotion and story in each shot…it’s what so many strive to do in this business, but often fall short of.ReplyCancel

      Awww, thanks Dana!! xoxo That means so much to me!
