I have been photographing this family since their oldest was in momma’s belly. It’s been so fun to capture them as they have grown as a family. Im so blessed with clients who were with me with my old style of photography and have stayed with me into the family film transition.

We have done 3 films for this family (one was extended family as well) and Momma just loves the memories they provide. After posting her film to social media, she shared it with the words “photographs only capture so much” – which is so true. I do take photographs during the film sessions too, but film is the primary target.
we had so much fun riding on the golf cart (it would have been fun to have behind the scenes video of me hanging off the side of a golf cart, trying to live and take stable video footage), making stores, and watching this family connect with one another for a few hours. Their bedtime routine was full of giggles and their dinner time had so much fun conversation.
This is the review Lauren (momma) left me on my google page: “
I don’t have enough good things to say about Jennie and her work. I found and fell in love with her work in 2016 when I was pregnant with our first child. She photographed my maternity thru our daughter’s first birthday. At that point she was dabbling in some film so we would be a very short highlight film from our sessions-which I loved! So when she announced she was doing family films in 2018, I knew we had to book one. Our first film was that year when our daughter was a little over a year and a half. Watching that film for the first time was so heartwarming. We were able to do an extended family film in 2020. It is so special to have, and I’m so thankful to have such a beautiful video to share with our children when they are older. We decided to do another family film this year (2021) cause we had added a second child to our family since our first film. To say I was touched is an understatement. I didn’t know if was possible, but Jennie has outdone herself with this film. The dedication and love she puts into her work is something special. She had such an amazing gift to share, and I’m so thankful for her passion. If you have ever had a thought of using Jennie for a film, actually even if you haven’t, just book one. You won’t regret having that season of your life captured, even if it’s messy or chaotic. When you watch it back, you will have tears of joy and mourning (oh how the time flies) and be filled with smiles and thankfulness that such beauty was captured. My heart is so grateful“![]()

While I was filming this family, it felt like a dream. The kids swinging on the swings – the giggles – the joy and love.
When I see a family interacting, I see the moments as memories, as precious snippets of time. The time we were on the golf cart was as amazing as it looks in the film (I was able to fully create that moment well) to show you how precious that time was. Mac, little brother, was obsessed with geese and repeated the word GEESE GEESE throughout the ride. Big sister – I just loved watching her enjoy catching the wind in her hair and she was just pure joy on that golf cart. These children don’t even know they are living moments they will hold dear in their hearts forever, and now those moments are in the film. For them to later see and recall. It’s too precious for words.
They’re going to remember their daddy spinning them in blankets before bed, they will remember their momma’s voice reading them a book by the fire. It makes me cry – and Im not in their family.
xoxo
