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.

{UT sessions…part 1}

I couldn’t believe the response I received when I mentioned I was going to be doing sessions while on my visit to UT this summer.  WHOA!!  I set out to do 11 families this year and I loved every minute of it.  Let me first say, all these families did SUCH an incredible job with their wardrobe choices.  It was just awesome.  I hardly had to add a thing.  Maybe a headband or an umbrella, but thats it.  So many awesome parents and so many darling kids.  My sessions mostly took place between 2 locations–for those that did not want urban we went to the historic Wheeler Farm.  It was great, and I as you will see, the main highlight for me was this killer old truck.  Loved it.   And then I did lots of urban, which is always fun for me.  The colors, the textures paired with cute, well-dressed kiddos….
The first family I shot was the Egan family.  Amy and I went to high school together, and we haven’t seen each other since.  She now has 2 of the most beautiful little girls.  It was so fun reconnecting with her and meeting her family.

okay, I’m officially baby hungry…isn’t she just beautiful?  Little Viv gave me a run for my money the first day I arrived.  She was a little spitfire–literally :)  So I came back a few days later and she was a princess.

Congrats to her awesome parents and her adorable older sisters!   She is loved.

Little baby Luke was seriously the most smiley baby I have met.  Gosh, if only ever one that walked thru that door was so happy to see me….:)

You’ve just gotta love that cute bald head and huge blue eyes.
