Happy Venessa

It was so much fun meeting Venessa for her mini-maternity that was included in the newborn session we will have in just a few weeks! Not only does she look so happy, she has the most contagious laugh ever! I mean, she really laughs with her head back and all. When she starts, you can’t help but laugh too. I have a feeling she makes a lot of people feel happy to be around her. She and her husband are keeping the sex of the baby a surprise and I can’t wait to find out what they have! Here is kind of a large sneak peek of her getting more comfortable in front of the camera and laughing away as if she has been being photographed forever. Thank you Venessa!

Gonzalo, Elsi, Gonzalito and Marsela

I have had the priveledge of photographing this beautiful family each year for four years.  They live in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico where my husband has a house and I have been coming for 8 years. Little Marsela who is six is getting more stunning every time I see her. Noah fell in love with her and had so much fun dragging her up and down steps and through the sand at the beach. She was so patient with him!   This is just a small sneak peek but there will be way more to come later!  Gracias Gonzalo y Elsi!!!!!

  • 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.
