Eliza :: 1 Year

Wednesday, January 25, 2012 Posted in Children

I’ve had the pleasure of photographing The Palmisano kiddos for several years now. Eliza is the youngest of 3 and she is now ONE! We had a great time at Audubon Park, the weather was so nice! I am really starting to love these random crying photos that I get every now and then from the kids that I photograph. When you get older, those are the photos that bring back lots of memories. You’ll see what I’m talking about towards the end ;) Gotta love it!

Here are some of my favs from Eliza’s session:

Priceless….

Addison :: 9 Months

Tuesday, January 24, 2012 Posted in Children

It’s been so much fun watching Addison grow, we had a great time at her shoot the other day! I was in love with the Fleurty Girl onesie and tutu that her Mom had for her! Mardi Gras themes are always precious! It was a beautiful day at Audubon Park! I can’t wait until her ONE year session!

Here are some favs!

I put a teaser photo on my Facebook page yesterday. Addison was famous within a few minutes! Honored that Fleurty Girl reposted my photo!! :)

Amy & Tim :: Maternity

Monday, January 23, 2012 Posted in Maternity

I had a great time photographing Amy & Tim last week for their Maternity session! Amy came with lots of cute ideas! They both had such a fun-loving, carefree attitude! We headed to one of my favorite locations in City Park to take these. Overgrown, rustic looking areas are always pretty! Looking forward to photographing their new addition once he/she gets here! It’s a surprise… love when couples do that!

A shot with a few of Amy’s cravings………. LOVE THAT IDEA!! :)

Hey yall! I put a post up on my Jen Amato Photography facebook page today, but I figured I would post here as well. Right now, I only have a few spots left from now until the end of April. (This is giving myself a few days off for Mardi Gras and then a few for Easter) I am currently booking for May 2012, I will be taking a good bit of June off to do some traveling. Please don’t wait until it’s too late to contact me about a session. I am only taking 4 shoots per week now. When they are filled, they are filled :) In order for clients to get photos back in a reasonable amount of time, I have to limit myself. Customer service is very very important to me. As always, my “Grow With Me” kiddos get first priority! I have reserved certain days for you guys when your 3, 6, 9, or 12 month shoots roll around. Thank you for the continued support :) I hope you all are having a great week so far!

By the way…. a few months back, my hubby and I took Anniversary photos by Courtney Dellafiora from Baton Rouge. I really need to work on a post to share those with you guys! More on that later… but here’s a couple of photos from our shoot. I promise I’ll post more when I get caught up!

Sweet Madison just turned 6 months! Last week I photographed her session here in River Ridge, and big brother Mason jumped in for a few, too! Always nice to see the Curtis crew! Loved her little outfits and those big brown eyes!! Here are some of my favs:

This photo tells the story about how our session ended, it makes me smile. You have to have one of these every now and then, too cute!!!! Both of them were done! HAHA love it!
