Photography By Jennifer bio picture

Welcome to my blog!

Thanks for stopping by to check out my latest work and inspirations.   I am an on-location photographer who lives in Northern Virginia and loves natural light.  I am a mother of 3 and most of what I do is inspired by my own children.  I like to think that my job is to photograph what childhood is made...the miracle of a newborn, the innocence of a baby, the curiosity of a toddler, and the ever-changing ways of a child.  I love every expression that a child gives and everything in between.  I love alleyways and open fields, tricycles and buggies, curls and freckles.  

This blog will showcase recent sessions, wonderful clothing designers, special occasion products, and also a peek into my daily life as both a mother and photographer.

It was so much fun seeing the “P” family again. I took Sofia’s newborn photos and now she is 2! She is full of spunk and smiles and will soon be a big sister.
Enjoy your sneak peek!

Jennifer O. - Beautiful shots!

Kristy - oh. my. gosh. that purple/lavender is so wonderful :O)

mindy young - Jen! I have not been here in awhile! I have been m.i.a as most of us are this time of year! Your work always takes my breath away! It is so beautiful, the color, the shots, the locations! Perfection! I always love peeking in!

{the Lake family}

these guys are no strangers. Michele is my oldest sister and she’s the crazy one with 5 kids. Ha! We always have the pleasure of having them come stay with us for Thanksgiving. Wait…my sister doesn’t even turkey or the infamous rainbow jell-o salad. I just now figured out why they come. Family photo session on Jen! No really, how could I pass up the oppurtunity to photograph this beautiful family who means so much to me. Our kids are best friends with each other and this year, Michele vacuumed my whole house before she left. Totally worth it :)

Jennifer O. - She has such a gorgeous family!

{the “L” kids}

Remember that blizzard last Saturday? Yep, this is when we did the “L” kids session in the studio. I was really hoping to get some fun shots outside, but I think these turned out great. The family was traveling to NYC later this day for their mom’s segment on the Today Show. Woohoo!
Wait until you see their holiday card—-awesome.
