It just so happened that their family was bringing home a new puppy the day before we had planned this family session. What better way to celebrate a new furry family member than with a family session?

This 7 lb. 8 oz. bundle of love came into the studio with his proud family. It is essential that you, as my clients, get any combination of family images you wish for. These, and many other newborn features, are the details you will want to remember exactly how they are in their first few weeks.

Anything for Mom!! That's what this blog's title should be. You know you’re doing something right as a parent when your kids offer to carry a couch into the middle of an open field for your photographer, which was much appreciated and 100% worth it.

The Chanda Family planned to have their family session at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., which was unique and fitting for them. My assistant and I like to arrive slightly early to sessions on location to get an idea of the best places to photograph, keeping lighting in mind.

Whether for your resume, a new business venture, social media, or even a dating profile (no judgment here), updating your professional headshots is always a good idea. These mini-sessions are designed to meet your unique needs and showcase your best self. If you have a vision, I would like to hear about it. I love working closely with my clients to achieve the exact look they are going for.

We kicked off 2024 at JNP with an exceptional guest. Everyone, meet Zeus. I enjoy photographing your pets so much that I made it a permanent, year-round, mini-session option. When it comes to animals, I typically photograph dogs. However, when Kylie reached out asking if I would do a session with her cat, I said absolutely, 100% yes!

There is no lack of confidence or personality regarding Ms. Simone! Whenever the Watts family books a family session, I know their gallery will be filled with beautiful, exciting, and unique images of their little girl. One of the many things I love about this family’s sessions is that they ALWAYS recreate the same image yearly!

Talk about a show-stopper! Look at that beautiful golden hour glow! I have photographed this family on many occasions, ranging from family sessions to headshots for their business practice. I love taking a moment to get individual images of the kids in your family. It lets their light shine and personality come through.

When the Kellinger family reached out to me for another maternity session, I knew we had to take advantage of all the Fall colors outdoors! Because Karley’s arrival was so close to Christmas, Mom thought the idea of a Christmas-themed newborn session sounded perfect!

With these smiling faces, would you believe me if I told you that this family session was in cold and rainy weather? We couldn’t let the last of the fall-colored leaves on the trees go to waste, so this family session was happening, rain or shine and these little ladies understood the assignment!

I’m so glad the Obrien family chose to update their family images at this beautiful location. We even snuck in a couple of images of just Mom and Dad together! And the lighting was *chefs kiss*!

The beauty of Personality mini-sessions is that there is no posing. If your child wants to dance, we turn the music louder! If your child wants to lie down, go for it! If they want to stick out their tongue, I won’t be the one to stop them! Letting your kiddo be authentically themselves and letting their true personality shine, made for some beautiful and unique images.
