From Belly to Baby and Beyond: The Love Family’s Story

There’s something incredibly special about being invited back again and again to capture the milestones of a family. The Love family has trusted me with some of their biggest moments, starting with their maternity portraits, then newborn, one year, and most recently two year portraits of their little girl. Watching her grow has been an honor, and seeing how their love as a family has only deepened makes sessions like these so meaningful.

When we first met, the Loves told me they wanted their maternity photos to feel full of love. Every time they look back at those images, they remember the anticipation and joy of waiting for their daughter to arrive.

Then came their newborn session, where we celebrated the first precious weeks of life at home. Their little one was snuggly, tiny, and oh-so-loved, and I was able to capture both the quiet in-between moments and those timeless portraits that every parent cherishes.

A year later, we celebrated her first birthday with family portraits full of giggles, snack breaks, and playtime. Now, at two years old, her personality shines even brighter. She’s curious, joyful, and already showing the sweet, independent spirit that makes her uniquely her.


Client Words

Here’s what the Love family had to say about their experience:

“Jennifer has captured memories for our family three times now (maternity, newborn, and one year/family photos)! She has a special talent for capturing candid moments while making sure there are still standard portraits with everyone looking at the camera! There’s always a perfect balance of both types of photos.

Before our maternity session, Jennifer asked us how we wanted to feel when we looked back on this time in our lives and I answered that I wanted to feel in love. She really delivered and I thought it was absolutely amazing that she was able to capture our love so that any time we see our photos we remember that special time in our lives before our baby arrived!

During our newborn & one year pictures, Jennifer was also absolutely amazing with our daughter as well. She was so patient when we had to take some snack breaks and make sure we didn’t have a meltdown!

Her website is super easy to use, she’s very responsive if you have questions, and she’s super helpful with choosing locations. Her website is also packed with great information on choosing outfits, feeling comfortable during the shoot, and filled with so much love you can tell she is so passionate about what she does.

I could go on and on about how amazing Jennifer is and how much I appreciate her being there for all our special moments. She’s the best!”


Why These Stories Matter

For me, the greatest joy is getting to walk alongside families through the seasons of their lives. The Love family’s story is a reminder that photos aren’t just for marking milestones, they’re for telling the bigger story of connection, growth, and love.
