  • 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. As a wife and mom of 5, I understand how important capturing those fleeting moments are. 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.

Kendle :: Bridals

Kendle was such a stunning bride! Her Wedding was my last one of 2011 and it was just beautiful! I hope to have her Wedding photos blogged soon! We took her Bridals back in September and I’ve been waiting to share these since then! These were taken at City Park and it was a gorgeous day – the camera loved Kendle! Looking forward to sharing her Wedding images with you guys soon :)

Here are some that I loved!!

The Henderson’s :: Family

The Henderson’s were such an adorable family, look how sweet the kids outfits were! We took these at Audubon Park which seems to be one of the hot spots lately for all the family sessions. I love this time of year because I get to meet to lots of familiar faces and also some new ones! :) Thank you Jeff, Melanie, Austin & Carlie for a great shoot- you guys were so fun!!

Here are some favs:

Christa :: Bridals

I photographed Christa’s Bridals back in October of this year, and she married last month! I’ve been meaning to share these with you guys for a while, but honestly kept forgetting to post since I couldn’t share until after her Wedding. It’s been so busy lately with all the family and kids shoots! This was another client that previously booked a Wedding photographer, but came to me to have her Bridals taken. I always love meeting new people regardless if I am shooting their Wedding or not. Every bride is welcome :)

Well, I have 3 more sessions this week and then I’ll be enjoying some time off from shooting. However, there will be lots of editing to do this week! Did I mention how much Christmas shopping I have left to do? Geeze!

Hope you guys are enjoying your Christmas Holidays so far! Here are some of my favs from Christa’s Bridal Session:

The Leingang’s :: Family

I photographed the Leingang Family last year as well, so it was great to see them again! Little Jovie is cute as can be! Full of smiles, serious faces and silly ones too! We took these at Audubon Park, I love the color of the trees this time of year. My photos always seem to take a warmer tone in the Fall because the green leaves turn to brown and red.

I hope everyone is enjoying their Holidays! I am so excited to have the weekend off to spend time with my family and friends. I’ve been so busy shooting and editing lately, I’ve barely started Christmas shopping! Geeze! haha!

Here’s some of my favs from The Leingang’s Family session:

Josie :: 1 Year

I can’t believe sweet Josie is now ONE! Where did the time go? We had 5 awesome sessions this past year and she did great! I always joke with Josie’s Mom because she has this little lizard tongue that she sticks out all the time. It’s so funny! This time around we added her parents in for some shots. I know I say this all the time, but I get so attached to my Grow With Me clients. Their kids become a familiar face and always brighten my day! Josie’s Mom, Nicole even had a gift for me when I finished up with their session. A thoughtful note and a tranquility spa candle. I left their shoot thinking about how fortunate I am to have people like this in my life! Here are some of my favs from the day:

Josie’s laughing in the below photos because I had a dog puppet on my head. HAHA!
