Every delivered photo (digital & print) is MASTERFULLY RETOUCHED.
It means that all:
blemishes, razor burn, stray hairs, lint will be removed, fine lines will be softened, & any any unflattering bulges will be tucked in as requested (including slimming of face/chin/arm/tummy area)
* What does 'Masterfully Retouched' mean?
1. Be ready for the session – do not come feeling rushed.
2. Girls, most sessions include professional Hair & Makeup! Be thinking about the specific look you'd like to have for your shoot.
3. Since many of you are coming in from out-of-town for your photoshoot, try on EVERYTHING (including the respective bras) with every outfit. Try on and pack your outfits a few days in advance of your trip, to give you time to shop for any last minute undergarment or shoe, etc. The most forgotten items by far are bras (strapless) and shoes!
4. One word... Bodyshapers like Spanx. If you're a girl with a lil tummy, look into purchasing a pair of bodyshapers. You'll feel so much more confident and comfortable. I specialize in photographing girls of all shapes and sizes, and bodyshapers are one of my secrets. They help smooth out little tummy bumps and helps you feel more secure and confident during your shoot. ;)
5. For the girls... accessorize accessorize accessorize! Bring your favorite hat, and sunglasses. Bring your favorite jewelry to accent a few of your outfits.
6. Guys...head over to a local salon to get those brows cleaned up. It's so worth the modest fee to get a quick wax. You'll be in experienced, competent hands; totally worth it, trust me. (and don’t wait until the day before!)
7. Relax and just have fun. Your senior pictures express who you are, so just be yourself!
8. Pick colors and clothing styles that you know you look good in. Don’t bring anything that is either too big or too tight. Make sure to try on your complete outfit before you come for your session. (ie Try sitting, squatting, leaning forward, etc) ask an honest friend for their opinion. Don't pick outfits that are all the same color (this happens more than you think!!!) Text me pics of your selections and I'll offer my honest feedback.
9. Lay out outfits a few days before your session; make sure you have everything all good-to-go, with shoes, accessories, bras, etc. With unlimited clothing changes, have some FUN – go for any look you can dream of (think: casual/comfy, dressy/classy, formal, sports jerseys, etc – get creative)
10. Speak up! if there is a particular pose or look you want to achieve, please tell me; your ideas add to my energy and enthusiasm!
11. Take care to not tan or bask in the sun several days prior to your shoot; sunburns and tan lines to not photograph well.
12. Don’t forget your “props” – consider bringing anything that helps show off your personality or passion (football, artwork, running shoes, ballet shoes, surf board, saddle, team jersey, 4H ribbons, class ring, camera, dog, shotgun, bow, horse, makeup, paints) you get the idea!
13… Yes, you can bring a friend, and yes they can pose with you at no extra charge!
1. Be ready for the session – do not come feeling rushed.
2. If anyone in your family is not feeling well, please reach out to me ASAP to reschedule. Photos of sick children NEVER turn out.
3. Ladies, please talk to me about professional hair & makeup artistry – I can set up your appt right here at the studio or at your personal residence/vacation resort. You will NOT regret having professional hair & makeup done, trust me! You’ll feel more confident and beautiful, which translates to pictures you love!

5. My best kept secret are BODYSHAPERS like Spanx. I cannot stress this enough - they help tuck it all in. If you've never worn them, shop around for the best fit and order early so you have enough time in advance of your photoshoot. Trust me on this; you'll feel so much more confident and comfortable. I specialize in photographing women of all shapes and sizes, and bodyshapers are essential.
6. The more thought you put into outfits, the more you’ll love how your shoot turns out.
7. The big question: What do we wear? There are two schools of thought here, 1) matchy-matchy or 2) harmonious. There are pros and cons to both, but I personally prefer ‘harmonious’, which to me means picking a color palette you love and selecting outfits that fall within that color scheme. This tends to be the easiest for larger families to coordinate (which means one less thing to stress about). A few more thoughts:
BEACH: Over the years I’ve noticed that softer colors, more muted colors photograph so much prettier at the beach (vs reds, black, navy).
TROPICAL: If we are meeting in your neighborhood or at a tropical location, be careful of bolder patterns that will compete with the foliage in the background.
STUDIO: For the family shots, I’d love to get at least 2 looks in for everyone – casual and a bit more formal. We definitely go over this in great detail during your consultation!
8. Guys...head over to a local salon to get those brows cleaned up. It's so worth the modest fee to get a quick wax. You'll be in experienced, competent hands; totally worth it, trust me. (and don’t wait until the day before!)
9. Relax and just have fun. Your family pictures record YOUR perfectly imperfect family, so unless I ask you to step in to wrangle the kids, let them be crazy (they always are, it’s not just your kids!) and don’t please stress over it. The kids will pick up on any negative energy, and we don’t want that. Besides, some of our most cherished shots are candid’s of the kids being, well… kids!
10. Speak up! if there is a particular pose or look you want to achieve, please tell me; your ideas add to my energy and enthusiasm!
11. Take care to not tan or bask in the sun several days prior to your shoot; sunburns and tan lines to not photograph well.
"Jenn was fantastic! I was dreading our annual 'family pictures' and my stylist recommended Jenn. If I would have known how comfortable she was going to make us all feel (even my stubborn husband) I wouldn't have waited so long to book her. She made this so easy! SO easy!" - Beth S, Naples Florida

“Do I look fat?” “Do I look awkward?”
“Are these going to turn out?”
“Do I look fat?”
“Do I look awkward?”
“Are these going to look good?”
As soon as I lift my camera up I know what you're thinking. Make no mistake, I see all of your questions and fears:
I BELIEVE IN MEMORIES AND MOMENTS AND ALL THE TINY UNFORGETTABLE THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN BETWEEN.
WHEN PEOPLE REMEMBER ME, I WANT THEM TO SAY,
HOLY CRAP, SHE LIVED OUT LOUD.
BECAUSE, I BELIEVE THIS IS OUR ONE CHANCE TO LIVE COMPLETELY, TO SPRINT NOT WALK TOWARDS OUR DREAMS, TO LOVE FIERCELY, AND TO FIND GRATITUDE EVERY DAY.
MOST OF ALL, I HONESTLY, FURIOUSLY LOVE WHAT I DO.
