"Jenn is completely relatable. She made me feel so comfortable during my shoot. I truly had no idea how much we would LOVE my senior pictures. My mom and I both had an unforgettable day!"
"
Don’t you worry! I’m very good at what I do! I coach you every minute of your shoot. You’ll go from feeling awkward to wishing our shoot
would never end in about 2 minutes. How do I know this, you ask? Because I watch you transform, like every other young woman, right before my eyes. And sweet girl, THAT is why I do what I do.
“Am I pretty enough?” “Do I look fat?” “Do I look awkward?”
“Are these going to look good?” "I don't know how to pose myself."
“Am I pretty enough?”
“Do I look fat?”
“Do I look awkward?”
“Are these going to look good?”
"I don't know how to pose myself."
As soon as I lift my camera up I know what you're thinking, beautiful girl. Make no mistake, I see all of your questions and fears:
Give yourself permission to schedule a consult with me, so we can map out the most perfect photoshoot for your senior pictures. Give yourself permission to get hair & makeup done, you deserve it. The day of our shoot, give yourself permission to feel beautiful, because you are. Perfectly you. I can hardly wait to photograph you. xo
Ever wanted to know what it feels like to be a model? Jennifer Bates Photography shoots are just that - a pamper sesh and model-for-a-day experience. Upon arrival to my studio, you'll receive gorgeous hair & makeup artistry. Then we start your shoot with a bit of fashion-flair with your favorite formal gown or dress. Dresses aren't your thing? No problem! Let's go for the contemporary 'Calvin Klein' cover model look, with a simple tank top and jeans.
After your studio shoot, we head to our pre-determined locations to rock out the rest of your shoot! You’ll have unlimited clothing change options (and with my portable changing room, changing outfits is a breeze!) My studio is also known for the fun we have during our shoot. This isn’t your old-school boring cheesy pose crap. This is fashion-inspired, fashion-infused, high synergy, and creative photography at its finest.

Thinking back on our experience with Jenn, once my daughter's photoshoot started and I saw Jenn coach her into pose after pose, I realized I had found someone with a true gift for working with girls of ALL sizes, not just lean young women.
My fuller-figured daughter kept telling me over and over, "I just don't want to look FAT in my pictures!" She was so nervous that she would hate the whole experience, hate how she looked, but Jenn reassured her that she would coach her every step of the way, and she did!!!
My daughter ended up LOVING her senior pictures and I'm telling you right now, it was a tremendous confidence boost for her! To see my daughter's transformation from worrying about her body image to truly seeing her own beauty was priceless.

Thank you very much for all of your hard work with Emma’s pictures. You nailed it, Jenn! I never told you before her shoot, but she has a very poor self-image. Before we started this process she was really dreading having senior pictures taken.
I was hoping to use this experience as a bit of a self confidence boost for her and you 100% accomplished that for her.
Thank you for working so well with her and all of your prep & planning advice was perfect! We couldn't appreciate you more. xo
BEAUTIFUL &
PHOTOGENIC!"
"Emma never felt more
Watching the two of you work together, I just can't even put words to it. It was joy and awe. I saw a confidence surface in my daughter that brought tears to my eyes.
And I saw you both work together to create this timeless memory for her, commemorating such a huge milestone that I know we'll both cherish forever! How on earth do you quantify that?!
Jenn, we adore you. THANK YOU for telling Kelsey's story so poignantly in pictures, especially before she goes off to school (tear-fest!).
looking at them!"
"We can't stop
My experience with Jenn was unbelievably perfect. We mapped out my whole shoot during our first planning meeting, which really helped me feel way less stressed knowing exactly what to expect and what to plan for!
During my shoot, she made me feel confident, beautiful, and she had the best sound effects while telling me how to pose, which completely helped keep things fun! We were both cracking up, she made everything so easy!
I definitely recommend Jenn!!! I love my pictures - she is amazing!!!
perfect!"
"Unbelievably
Jennifer is absolutely fantastic to work with. She is so creative and insightful with her photographs- they are works of art. She really thinks outside the box to give you one of a kind photos and is so easy to work with.
She understands this generation of kids and they feel totally comfortable and at ease working with her.
She really is the best photographer I have ever worked with. Her passion, vision and energy is contagious - she really is amazing!!!!!!!
EXACTLY WHAT
WE WANTED?"
"How did you know
I did my senior pictures with Jenn during our family's vacation to Fort Myers Beach. I really wanted something different.
Since I wanted a tropical look, Jenn suggested several of her favorite locations. She helped us plan outfits for each location, giving color & style suggestions, which was a huge relief to me and my mom. She basically mapped out my entire shoot, starting in her studio then outdoors - she made sure I got the tropical look I wanted plus some beach shots. But my favorites, by far, were our studio shots. Ask for the tulle skirts - you won't regret it!!! It was an unforgettable way to start my senior year!!
FEEL BEAUTIFUL"
"Jenn made me
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 PASSIONS, TO LOVE FIERCELY, AND TO FIND GRATITUDE EVERY DAY.
MOST OF ALL, I HONESTLY, FURIOUSLY LOVE WHAT I DO.
