So I was very on the fence about having a maternity shoot. I wasn't feeling pretty and my long awaited pregnancy was more stressful than I thought it would be. I just didn't think I'd feel up to it. My friends convinced me that I'd regret it if I didn't take at least some photos so I hired Jen for a low key shoot out in Cherry Valley. Jen made it SO easy. She was upbeat and professional and somehow managed to take photos that made me feel like I finally had that maternity glow I was promised! She is professional, talented and her attitude is amazing. She made us feel great the whole time. She kept the shoot simple and low key for me (per my request due to stress levels) and somehow managed to get some really Pinterest worthy shots. Now I can't wait to add these to my baby book. THANK YOU JENNIFER! read more
