  • Hi, my name is Jen and I am a Natural Light Photographer based out of New Orleans! Welcome! I specialize in Engagement, Maternity, Family, Children, and Birth Photography.

Making my clients feel comfortable in front of the lens, photographing priceless memories and building relationships with people in the process are my main goals. There's always lots of fun couples, sweet families and precious babies gracing the presence of my site! Be sure to check back, I'm always posting new sessions! Click the "Information" tab above to email me if you're interested in scheduling a shoot :) I can't wait to hear from you!

The Areaux’s :: Family

The Areaux Family lives out of town, but they were here visiting family for a couple of weeks! They are related to recent client of mine who told them about me :) I love getting the opportunity to meet people from all over!! We headed to Audubon Park to take these and their little girl Ellie did amazing! She is such a happy baby, we had lots of fun! Here are a few of my favs from their session:

Giulianna :: 6 Months

Giulianna did great for her 6 month session last week! She has the sweetest little smile, I could just eat her up! What a DOLL! We took these at Rivertown Heritage Park, I like the pops of color there! Her outfits are always precious… Miss July, the Makeup & the Red Valentine’s outfit!! Can’t wait until her upcoming shoots!!

I mean seriously…. look at that face!!!! ;)

Momma… I think we are done…. :(

 

Adele :: Newborn

I have been friends with Adele’s parents, Bobby & Therese for years and years!! I was so happy when I found out they were having a baby! Many months went by and I didn’t see Therese again until about 2 days before she was headed the hospital to have Adele. Bobby and Therese are first time parents, so it was exciting to talk with them about how they expected it to go, what they were going to feel like when they saw Adele for the first time, etc! When we photographed her newborn session I saw how in love these 2 are with their baby girl! She is just the sweetest thing and I was so excited to photograph this special time for them! Adele has the most beautiful brown hair and eyes. Her hair is so long its ready for a pony or pigtails! I just love it and her!

Thank you Bobby & Therese for asking me to take these photos of your precious little girl. It was so much fun catching up with you guys and being able to enjoy your new addition! I can’t wait to watch her grow up, I can tell from our shoot that she is going to be one sassy, bright eyed, energetic little hot tamale ;) Love you guys!

Lily :: 6 Months

Seems like yesterday I was photographing Lily’s Newborn photos! Now she’s 6 months!! We had a little fun with this shoot and did a few inside before heading to City Park! Her mom, Ashley had some really precious outfits for her! Also, my sister in law, Jen helped to make some of the headpieces! Jen is currently in the middle of starting up a headpiece collection, I can’t wait to photograph those for her. I will definitely be sharing those with you guys, I know plenty of my ‘Grow With Me’ Mommy’s love ordering fun accessories for their shoots!

Here are some favs from Lily’s session:

Liam :: Newborn

It was such an honor to photograph this little Miracle Baby! Liam was so sweet and cute for our session that I could have taken him home! His mom, Mary emailed me about a session and briefly filled me in. Liam was born early at 27 weeks, weighing only 15 oz! His parents said he measured the length of a pencil. After being in the hospital for nearly 100 days, it was time for little man to come home! He is strong, healthy and full of life now. It’s days like this when I truly feel a connection with my career and the wonderful people I get to meet! Liam is a blessing and he reminds me of God’s power to heal. Thank you to his parents, Mary and Clint for giving me this opportunity. Your guys have a little piece of heaven here with you! Liam is precious and I was thrilled to be able to document just a tiny bit of his story! Thank you for sharing your miracle with me for one afternoon :)

Here are some of my favs from the day:
