Blue eyed baby Bobby

The other day I had the pleasure of photographing this amazing family. It was one of those feelings where I knew that I was going to love photographing them from the minute I stepped in through the front door. Not only was their home beautiful, but they were beautiful both inside and out as well. Bobby has those amazing, giant blue eyes that you usually only see in a baby commercial. He wasn’t too happy to see me and my camera at first but he warmed up to me before I left.

Bobby’s mom and dad are obviously so in love with him which of course made for an easy time for me. It was wonderful meeting them and I can’t wait for the weather to be nicer so we can do some photographing outside!

  • About Jennifer Shore Photography

  • As long as I can remember, I have loved being connected to kids. I always knew that I would have a life working with children in some form. Since my other big interest has been human behavior, I ended up with a formal education in Child Development / Family Relations and a master's degree in clinical social work. As a school therapist for children with emotional and behavioral special needs, it was still possible for me to see beauty in even the most difficult and disturbed child. Luckily right around the time I was doing this work, I was also exploring my other favorite interest, photography.

    One day I decided to bring a camera into work. The results were amazing. The children loved to see themselves in photographs and I LOVED to take pictures of them. With the help of my photography teacher and best friend, photographer Andrew Xenios, I ended up having an exhibition of the kids I worked with. The pictures seemed to capture the essence of each person; even the most troubled child was still beautiful. From there, it was just a natural progression to become a portrait photographer.

    The fact that I am just a big kid myself has helped me gain a wonderful perspective on children and their families. Photographing children provides me with the opportunity to show others the joy I see inside every one of them. This is what I want for my clients, to capture the moments when they feel most childlike, most at ease; as these are the moments when our true beauty is revealed.
