  • JEN AMATO PHOTOGRAPHY BLOG

    Hi, my name is Jen Amato and I am a Wedding & Portrait Photographer based out of New Orleans, LA. Welcome to my Blog! This is where you will find my most recent work, I update after each shoot. I think it is very important to get to know the photographer behind the lens, so I often post personal entries. I hope to share a little bit of my life with you! Photographing people has been so rewarding, that's why I LOVE what I do! My goal is for my photography to keep life's irreplaceable moments alive forever. Creating friendships with each person I photograph has been the best part! I hope you enjoy viewing my work and learning just a little bit about myself and my clients. Thanks for visiting and be sure to check back soon!

Dustin & Tiffany :: Wedding

Thursday, May 17, 2012 Posted in Weddings

Dustin and Tiffany married on May 4, 2012 at Nottoway Plantation -  prep, ceremony and reception were all held at this beautiful southern venue. I’ve known Tiffany for a while since we both have mutual friends from High School – I was so excited when she asked me to photograph her BIG DAY! I had a blast seeing lots of people I knew at the Wedding, this crew surely knows how to have a good time. I think the guests danced from the minute the first dances were over – all the way until midnight when it ended. I found myself dancing and cracking up several times behind the camera, you couldn’t help but just smile and have a good time!

Thank you Dustin and Tiffany for allowing me to capture your Wedding, it truly was an honor. You guys are adorable together, the Wedding was beautiful! Here are some that I loved from the day:

The white room at Nottoway is GORGEOUS!Photobooth fun!

Jordan & Jordan :: Engagement

Wednesday, May 16, 2012 Posted in Engagements

YES! You read that right – Jordan and Jordan! I had a great time photographing this sweet couple with the same name :) When assisting them with posing, I referred to them as Guy Jordan and Girl Jordan. That’s what they said their friends call them! We took these in the Botanical Gardens at City Park and then a few in the more traditional parts of the park. It was a beautiful day – not too hot and slightly breezy. I’ve really been enjoying the weather lately and I always love an excuse to be outside soaking up some sun and fresh air!

Here are some that I loved from their session:

This is where Jordan proposed to Jordan, so we did a little reenactment as a keepsake :)

Cami :: 5 Years

Tuesday, May 15, 2012 Posted in Children

I’ve been photographing Cami’s cousins Cooper and Olivia for quite some time now! I was excited when I was asked to photograph Cami’s 5 Year session :) We took these in Rivertown and the cousins also jumped in for a few. I think we were able to sneak a few cute smiling ones in there for their grandmother! I loved the girls dresses!

Here are some of my favs!

The Olwell’s :: Family

Monday, May 14, 2012 Posted in Family

You guys get to view more of my family today! This is my cousin Erin and her family. Justin, Ryan and new baby Reed! These were taken at Audubon Park, we did a few more of Reed a couple of days later to make sure we got enough of him at 6 months! He is getting so big, so fast!! My favorites are the ones of him with the tie on in the basket. Love those rolls! Reed is my godchild, so this session is very special to me.

Here are some that I loved:

Mother’s Day 2012

Sunday, May 13, 2012 Posted in Personal

I am so fortunate to have such wonderful Mom’s in my life. I only hope to one day be HALF the Mom that my Mom and Mother-in-law have been! Even though I don’t say it enough, they mean so much to me! I am truly blessed and I thank God everyday for giving me this life. Sometimes I wonder how I got so lucky?

This past Thursday, I gathered my 3 Brothers, my Husband Randy, my sister-in-law Jen, and my brother-in-law Dustin! We headed to City Park at 7pm for some family portraits for our Mama’s! My grandmother took us all out to dinner afterwards, which was such a treat!! Although none of of us have children yet, it’s never too late to do something special like this.

Many of you might wonder why people spend so much time, effort and money on pictures. THEY ARE PRICELESS!!! I believe it’s one of the best gifts that you can give. I loved seeing their reactions, it’s the best feeling in the world! I hope one day that my photography allows you to feel this way. Loved, appreciated and celebrated!! Life is short – embrace it!

My Mom said this afternoon….. “JEN! I look at your pictures every day! Finally a shoot of my own children!!” Then…..I melted….

Please enjoy these pictures of my family! For this session, we played PASS THE CAMERA! I set all the camera settings and we just took turns photographing each other :)

Amy Milam - These pictures are so great! I know your mom must have been so excited to receive them. We gave a few framed pictures from Ben’s session to our mothers/grandmothers today and they were a big hit! Thank you for all you do.
