Love Notes from families all over:
Leah Clark:
This girl right here is amazing at what she does! I’m not just saying that because she takes great photos, but because she takes the time to talk with us and makes everyone feel comfortable. She makes it fun! Getting your photo taken shouldn’t be awkward or rushed. I give her an idea or tell her what I’m thinking when it doesn’t make much sense and she brings it all together in a photo. I’m always pleased with the end result! Thank you so much Jennifer for capturing these special moments for our family!
Lacey Dougherty:
Jennifer is absolutely amazing! Cannot recommend or thank her enough! She was so sweet and gentle with my newborn and the pictures turned out far better than I could have even dreamed! 10/10 stars and will definitely be using her for more family photos
Emily Wetzel:
I loved working with Jennifer. I wanted a witchy vibe to my photos and she understood me perfectly. She got great props which added something extra to my photos. During the photoshoot she was so sweet and was treating me like a model. She helped me with the poses and kept telling me how beautiful I looked and that the photos were going to turn out wonderful. It was those encouragements that made the session special and made me feel special. The photos ended up looking wonderful and I am beyond happy with them. They are my senior photos and I wanted something different from the regular school photos that everyone gets. My photos are unique and fit me so well. I would recommend Jennifer to all my friends for any occasion.
Karina Garcia:
The session was awesome, she made it really fun. She has a lot of great ideas and is very creative. She made us feel very comfortable. My pictures came out beautiful. Absolutely worth it

FAQ’s
Everything you need to know prior to your session!
FAQ’S
I want to do a session, but how much does it cost?
To give you the full investment menu prior to your session can be overwhelming. With that, our investment packages start at $375.00 and go up from there. I am packaged based but offer a la carte items as well.
How long will it take to get my photographs?
I have the fastest turnaround time in Eastern North Carolina. I typically schedule ordering appointments for one week after the session date to give clients time to decide which package their want to go with. However, I have and do disperse images to paid in full clients as early as 2 days after the session date.
What if I need to make payments?
Your memories are an investment and I totally understand that! I offer in house payment plans that allow you to make payments on any investment package you chose. You can select from 2, 4, or 6 months to split up your total. A minimum of $200.00 is due at the time of ordering appointment if starting payment plan. PayPal credit is also another option you can pursue if the in-house payment plan doesn’t work for you. Once your total is paid in full, your products will be ordered and delivered between 2-3 weeks after. *Ordering times vary on companies demands and time of year*
Where will my session take place?
We offer in home studio sessions and outdoor sessions. Depending on the session you are looking for will determine where your session will be. With the current events of the world, the in-home studio is fully sanitized at all times and all precautions are in place as they always have been. We ask that you and/or anyone else attending the photo session is free from fever, coughing and stomach bugs more than 48 hours prior to your session date. We do the same on our end to prevent any illnesses from spreading. I travel all over Eastern North Carolina for sessions.
How long does a session take?
My average session times are 1-1.5 hours for most. With small children, the average session is 1 hour. If you are needing more time, that will be discussed when we have your free phone consultation.
I want family photos done, but I am worried about how my kids will behave.
Part of my job is making sure everyone attending the shoot feels comfortable and safe. Most kids, especially 5 and under typically cooperate for 20 minutes before wanting to run and be a kid again, and that is totally okay! During that time, I take advantage of this and take shots of mom and dad alone, older children, or if one child is staying close, I'll do some one on ones. I can also attest that most children will behave in front of someone they don't know!
