Cake & Whiskey Magazine

A couple of months ago I had the pleasure of photographing Erin Brenneman of Brenneman Pork for Cake & Whiskey Magazine. This session was one of my favorites to date, not only because Erin is wonderful and fascinating, but also because while I was shooting I got to cuddle and even deliver a baby pig! It was such an amazing experience, and photographing people who are doing what they really are meant to do, is so inspiring to me. I am so blessed to have met Erin and to have been selected to photograph her doing what she loves.

Thank you to Megan at Cake & Whiskey Magazine for asking me to be a part of this, and for selecting one of my images for the cover. I can't tell you what this meant to me. xo - Jen

New Hardcover Books for Portrait Clients!

I recently changed the hardcover books that I offer to my portrait clients, and I just received my 5x5 sample yesterday! It is so gorgeous, these photos really do not do it justice. This one has grey linen on the spine and back, though there are a ton of color options in various finishes. I also offer this book in an 8 1/2 x 11 (sample for that coming soon!). Let me know if you would like to see this gorgeous book in person, and I'd be happy to bring it to your session!

Coelle, Chris, and Julian [Iowa City, IA Maternity and Family Photography]

This family....I don't even know where to begin. I met them when Julian was a newborn, and their session changed the direction of my business. When we got together again for Julian's 6 month session, we all went out for dinner after and have been friends ever since! My favorite thing about these three is how funny they are and how much they love to laugh.

Over the past year, Coelle has become such a great friend to me and also started working with me as an assistant/stylist. We've had so much fun working together, and she's become a fabulous photographer along the way - I can't wait to see what next year will bring!

Coelle and Chris are expecting baby #2 in mid-September (does she not look completely amazing?! I mean...) and I am personally dying to know if it's a boy or girl! Julian will be such a great big brother, and baby #2 is so very lucky to have such wonderful parents.

Speaking of Julian - this kid is my absolute favorite person on the planet. For real.

To sum it up - these three are gorgeous, funny, and some of the best people I know. I am so lucky to call them friends, and it was an honor to photograph this time in their lives! I hope you enjoy this preview...
