Jen gives a new experience for children and family photography in the Flower Mound area. Rather than traditional posed portraits, Jen will photograph your family how they are in every day life. She will capture the beauty in daily routine, family relationships, and special times together in a visual storytelling style. Whether in home or at a location that best represents your family, you will treasure your photographs of your loved ones as they are in this moment in time. 

Jen offers two types of sessions: Family Documentary Sessions & Bringing Home Baby: Newborn Sessions. 

Family Documentary
​Photo Session

Let's capture natural moments of your family with a documentary photo session. These are 1-hour sessions that are candid in nature. No posing, no props, no fuss. Sessions may be in-home or at your favorite family location. 

Bringing Home Baby:
Newborn Photo Session

Bringing home a new baby is such an exciting time! Sometimes it a little hectic too. So let's take photos where you are most comfortable: in your own home. Bringing Home Baby sessions are in-home photos focusing on the new baby in your family. Siblings and other family members welcome! Photos are candid in nature: no posing, no props, no fuss.

What to Expect

Children and Family photography sessions with Jen are laid back and relaxed. No need to get matchy matchy outfits. Simply plan to wear clothes as you would on any given day. Think of this as a 'Day In the Life', but in a shorter period of time. Jen will follow along and photograph your family as you play and interact in the chosen setting. Do you want to document your family at home? Perhaps you might think of a simple typical activity your family does together (play in the yard, read books, bake, eat snacks, etc). Do you want to photograph a location that is meaningful to you? Perhaps the lake, hiking trails, a favorite candy shop? A vacation or stay-cation? Let Jen know and she can do her best to make that happen! Most importantly, your photographs will not be staged or posed. Jen will capture the real and perfect moments in the every day interactions with the most important people in your life.  For investment costs, please view the pricing link. 

FAQs
1. Where will we take our photos? Location spots are a personal choice. I suggest either taking photos in your home or finding a location that best suits your family. You might think of something you usually do as a family and incorporate that into your photos. A home session (like THIS one) is equally as beautiful as a session with the lake as a backdrop. Together we can come up with the perfect location for your photos. 
2. What does a documentary family session look like? Family sessions will all look different because every family is different! Go to my blog to view sample of sessions HERE.
3. Will my photos be edited? Yes, your photos will be edited slightly to correct colors, white balance, and cropping. However, will I make mom look 20 pounds lighter or take grandma's wrinkles away or give grandpa a full head of hair? Nope. Sorry. I am all about documenting who you are now and how you look in real life, which is perfect in every way. 
4. Will my photos be in color or black & white? If you have taken a peek at my galleries you will notice many of my photos are in black and white. I love black and white photos and am almost obsessed with them! Therefore, there will be several of your photos in black and white.
5. How long does it take to receive my photos? I aim to send over your online gallery within 3 weeks of your session. Please note that life happens and sometimes that is not always possible. From there we will discuss book options and work on the book layout. That timeline varies from client to client.
6. Do you offer mini sessions? Typically, no, I do not offer mini sessions. This kind of photography is harder to do in a short time frame. I will announce any special mini sessions on Facebook and Instagram so be sure to follow me to stay in the loop!
7. How far in advance should I book a session? Booking about a month in advance is suggested to ensure you get your preferred time and date.
8. Can I order prints from you? Yes, you may order prints from a pro lab through me. Prices and sizes are available upon request.
