FAMILIES IN THEIR TRUE ELEMENT
The Process
Whether it's your first or fifteenth time having professional photos done, not to worry: I'll walk you through the whole thing from start to finish.
Step 1: Book a Free Consultation
We'll have a quick phone consultation to talk about your expectations and go over any questions or concerns you might have before we decide whether to make your session official. I'll cover my process and all the pricing details (no surprises later), along with answering any questions you have. If we decide to work together, you'll pay a session fee to hold your date and time.
Book a Call
Step 2: Preview Your Images
Within 2 weeks of your session, I'll reach out to schedule your viewing appointment. You will be invited back to the studio to view your brand-new, fully-edited images - hooray! Then, once you've seen exactly what we got, you'll be ready to choose what you want to purchase.
Step 3: Choose Your Collection
Along with a virtual stack of digital images, each collection option comes with a print credit, so you can get your favorite pictures where they belong: in print, where you can see them each and every day.
The collection options range between $650 and $1500, depending on the number of digital images you need. All told, my clients typically invest over $1200 on images and artwork.
heirloom artwork • priceless
family portrait sessions from only $600
Whether you are looking for a large statement piece to bring a smile to your face every day, or an heirloom album to preserve these moments, you can be rest assured that you will receive only the highest quality artwork from professional, highly-rated labs across the United States.
The Investment Details
We hired Jennifer for a Fresh 48 session, where she was able to capture one of the most special moments of my husband's and my life - big brother meeting little brother for the first time! To say these photos are our favorite photos of all time is an understatement. We loved them so much, we quickly booked a newborn session with her. She once again blew us away with some of the most beautiful, precious photos of our son (& family). We would highly recommend her!

Hands down THE BEST!!!!!
Jen is the most wonderful person and photographer. She is so kind, warm and welcoming. Her beautiful studio and collection of props and outfits make sessions seamless, which is so appreciated when you're a tired new parent. She has an amazing way with newborns; soothing and calming throughout, while being SO patient with them.
Not only is the experience amazing but the final product is breathtaking! We did maternity and newborn photos and were speechless with the results! Such precious memories we will cherish forever.
There is no better option than Jennifer Brandes Photography!

Jennifer photographed both of my last 2 babies and did family pictures for our large family of 8. Here are some of the things I loved about Jennifer Brandes Photography:
1) Jennifer is very professional and made the sessions feel very relaxed. It can be stressful getting out the door with a newborn or getting a large family ready and cooperating for family pictures; but Jennifer made everyone feel relaxed and the sessions were fun!
2) The images she captures are stunning! I was confident we would have pictures we would love when we booked with her.
3) She was flexible with rescheduling when my toddler had hand foot and mouth when we were supposed to have family pictures taken.
4) She worked within my budget and ensured I got what I was hoping for.
I would recommend her 100%!

Working with Jennifer truly was a dream. She is so remarkably talented and our photos turned out amazing. As a first time mom, things like taking your newborn out can be nerve-racking, but Jennifer made it so relaxed and comfortable. She didn't make me feel rushed or bad when E didn't want to go to sleep. She took her time and let E lead the appointment. 100/10 recommend and will be coming back with any future babies.

Jennifer took newborn photos of my 2 week old daughter. She was so gentle and patient with her. My daughter was happy and comfortable during the entire session.
The studio is warm and inviting with a nursing rocker for breastfeeding moms. The photos were just beautiful! Jennifer was professional, friendly and promptly responsive to all communications. I am very satisfied; it was well worth the investment.
I would highly recommend!
