Partners in Crime :: Jennifer K Photography

Part of my everyday routine is keeping a gratitude journal.  Each day, just like any mom or dad, my kiddos make it on that list.  I'm always thankful for their good health.  I'm always thankful that I'm their Mommy.  I'm always thankful for stuff like that.  In addition to those things, some days I'm grateful for a sweet gesture they made or I'm grateful they gave me really good naps.  On this particular day last week, not only was I thankful for having them in my life, my heart was happy that they also have each other.  

This image makes me smile for its sweetness and makes me laugh for its sillyness.  I love it when an image is like that.  Happy Monday to you!

Pretty in Pink :: {maryland newborn lifestyle photographer} :: Jennifer K Photography

Earlier this month, I shared a few of my favorites from my most recent maternity session.  Well... today, I'd like to introduce you to this pretty, little lady.  I was super excited to visit their home once again and meet their newest addition.  She was a sweetie and I always enjoy the calmness and tranquility of photographing a sleepy, warm newborn.  Just looking at these images brings me peace.

  Please enjoy a few of my favorites from our morning together.

Quotes Come Alive :: February 2013 :: {Jennifer K Photography}

 

 

Once again, I'm excited to be linking up with a group of photographers from all over the world on a new project we're calling "Quotes Come Alive."  Each month, a new quote will be chosen and I'll have the opportunity to post a photo that best represents that quote to me.  Please stop by on the 15th of every month to see the new quote and photo.

 

I have always been blown away by Maya Angelou's eloquence.  I've loved her books and poems since I was in high school.  I was fortunate enough to see her speak at the University of Maryland while I was a college student.  A couple of years later, I quickly bought tickets when the opportunity came up to see her again at the Meyerhoff here in Baltimore.  When I read this month's quote for this project, the above image immediately came to mind.  Every time I look at it, it reminds me to slow down and live in the moment.  To jump in with both feet and enjoy the moment in front of me.

A Fun and Relaxed Maternity Session At Home :: {maryland custom family photographer} :: Jennifer K Photography

 

As you know, I recently had the pleasure of photographing this expectant mama and her family.  I have here a few of my favorites from our session together.

 

It's such an honor to be asked to capture this pivotal time in their lives, as their family grows from three to four.  

 

Our session took place on a cold, winter morning.  Leading up to the shoot, we had opted to take pictures indoors rather than venture out into the windy, chilly weather.  I'm glad that we stayed inside.  I always love taking photos of my clients in their homes.  There's something so warm and cozy about it.  And the at-home sessions are always so relaxed and fun.

 

How sweet is that face?

 

 

 

I loved taking photos of this little cutie.  As I shoot, I'm always talking to my clients - giving them some direction as to what I'm looking for and helping them to feel more comfortable.  With children, I ask them questions to keep them engaged.  This cutie pie had the funniest and most unexpectant reponses to my questions!

 

 

Their baby girl is due any day now and I can hardly wait to meet her.  Stay tuned!  More images to come!

Quotes Come Alive :: January 2013 :: {Jennifer K Photography}

 

Today, I'm excited to be linking up with a group of photographers from all over the world on a new project we're calling "Quotes Come Alive."  Each month, a new quote will be chosen and I'll have the opportunity to post a photo that best represents that quote to me.  Please stop by on the 15th of every month to see the new quote and photo.

 

This month's quote immediately made me think of the birth of my son, my second child.  His arrival this past June marked the end of our family of three, but the beginning of our family of four.  These same thoughts came to mind when I captured this image from my recent portrait session with this dear family.  What a bittersweet moment this is for us parents, isn't it?

Relaxed and Ready :: Sneak Peek :: {maryland maternity photographer} :: Jennifer K Photography

 

If you follow me on Facebook, you'll know that I started the new year off by photographing this pretty lady and her family as they wait for baby # 2.  The session was fun and relaxed and I think her expressions in these two photos show that well.  I look forward to showing you more from our shoot very soon!  In the meantime, have a great week!
