Her pre-shoot questionnaire asked about the little things we actually do every day, and then she built the whole session around them. Puzzles. Trains. Dancing. Singing. The regular stuff that makes up our life, and she turned it into something I get to keep forever. My favorite part was how natural it all felt. My kids weren't performing for a camera. They were just playing, and I got to be in it with them instead of standing off to the side saying "smile." Honestly, when we finished I wasn't even sure she'd gotten that many "good" moments. Then the gallery came and I was floored. She'd caught all of it. She even made us a little video, and watching it together as a family was one of the most special things. Something shifted for me seeing those photos. I don't just see a mom who got everyone dressed and out the door. I see how much love is actually living in our house on a random Tuesday. If you're on the fence, book it. You will not regret having proof of who your family is right now.

From the moment we started, she felt comfortable, relaxed, and genuinely had fun. Jen has such a natural way of making the session feel effortless. Nothing felt forced or awkward, there were no stiff poses. My daughter said it felt more like hanging out with friends and taking fun pictures together, which made all the difference in how confident and happy she felt during the shoot. We got to choose various locations, and the curated choices Jen proposed to us for a reason...they were stunning. Jen's team assisting her was also wonderful... so sweet, positive, and incredibly helpful to both my daughter and me. The entire process was seamless and honestly better than we ever imagined. We were even able to sneak a peek at a couple of the photos on Jen's camera and they already look amazing. We cannot wait for the final reveal! We give JenRenPro five stars all the way around. Highly recommend!

Overall: Melanie has a wonderful eye for location and keeping you comfortable during the session…read more Her communication is wonderful and any questions around timeline for photos/sneak peek photos are answered in a timely manner. She is very sweet, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a stress free maternity session! I found Melanie through IG. I actually was looking through a few photographer IG accounts but my eye just kept coming back to her profile. Her light and airy photo style looked so beautiful! Another thing I kept in mind was looking for a photographer that also offers family photo sessions in the future. Scheduling: Scheduling and reaching out to Melanie, from the first contact was a great and smooth experience. She replies in a timely manner and gets to know you to ensure you both are a good fit. Once you set a date, you will get more information around her clients closet (which I was EXTREMELY happy she offers) and a list of possible locations to choose from. She also listens to your ideas and may have other additional ideas of her own closer to the date. She also can give recommendations for hair and makeup on request. Price: Pricewise, when I was looking at pricing for photographers and styles, maternity sessions tend to be on the pricier end, while her pricing was not as steep as the others I looked at. Her prices are very worth her expertise, time, and experience. I have had some not so great experiences, and my experience with Melanie was just so smooth and caused me no stress at all (important to me while being pregnant). Photo Style: She focuses on locations with nature and flowers. Honestly, because it was a very hot summer, I thought we would not have any pictures with flowers. Our original pick of location had no flowers, but she reached out and mentioned a new location a few days before the shoot. We decided to trust the change and switch to the new location. She will also ask about your insecurities (in case there are poses you really don't want to do), any poses you would like to incorporate, etc. She is very thorough and follows up with you throughout the process. As someone who asks a lot of questions, this made me very happy lol. Actual session: I wanted to incorporate some cultural pieces but was not sure if it would work with the dresses I picked from her clients closet. Thankfully, when trying the dresses on at the site, 1 was PERFECT for my bolero! During the session, it was so cool to see her thought process since she can look at an area and see the different photos we can do there. There were flowers! So happy about that! She made sure to ask me questions along the way, be aware of the poses I don't like, and the requests I had during the initial communication with her. This interaction showed me how organized she is, and she focuses on you and your session to be perfect. We ended up taking photos with 2 different dresses and a "3rd" with the same 2nd dress but with my cultural piece over it. It was perfect. There was also a more personal portion where she asked my husband to tell me why I would make a good mom. I ended up crying and the photos ended up to be part of my favorites from the shoot! Of course I don't think the intention was to make me cry haha I just was very emotional. We ended with the cultural outfit portion of the shoot and even though we had no idea how to pose, she helped us each step of the way. None of the poses felt awkward or forced, and we were able to just be ourselves and the photos reflect that. I loved the session so much that I initially wanted the middle package and ended up deciding on the highest tier package because, how can I just choose a set amount of images after that session! I want it all haha. I am so thankful for her as she made the session fun, comfortable, and memorable for us.
