Camilla….

Don’t you love the name? She’s going to be called “Millie” which makes it even cuter…just like her family and of course her beautiful self. Millie was sleepy and warm and squishy and a total love for this session. Her big brother helped me hold blankets and stayed patient even though he just wanted to go play on the playground. I hope my little guy will be as sweet when his new little brother comes around! Thank you so much Lori, Chris and Graeme for sharing your little Millie with me for a few hours. It was a pleasure to meet all of you! And without further ado…introducing Camilla….

baby Gabriella

Introducing sweet Gabriella! She was such a little sweetheart…and just like a baby out of a magazine. I mean she had perfect skin, hair and her lips were to die for! It was such a pleasure and honor to photograph her in her first weeks of being in this world. Her mom and grandmom were glowing and happy and this baby is already so incredibly loved. Check out the stork announcing her arrival! So funny. Here she is in all her beauty….

Olive

I loved this session. This 8 month old lasted over 2 hours as happy as can be. And I LOVE her name. Olive. It’s so perfect. This little one has something special and I am sure it has a lot to do with her kind, calm and patient mom and dad. The day was chilly but beautiful and I so enjoyed meeting this wonderful family.

Maternity and then baby Sydney!

I have been so behind on blogging…I moved recently and I underestimated the disruption it would be. Dina M. has been so patient for this sneak peek…so patient that in fact we already have met to go over all of her images! I figured I better get this “sneak peek” up and start catching up around here. I was so fortunate to meet Dina in the last week of her pregnancy. We quickly set up a mini-maternity session and she was glowing. This is her third baby and she was so beautiful pregnant. She and her husband decided to be surprised and didn’t know if the baby was a boy or girl…and then they had Sydney! She is beautiful, chunky, squishy, sweet and calm….everything you think of when you think of a newborn (well, newborns not late at night). We are going to make a plan to get the whole family in a photo session in the next few weeks (sister, brother and dad!). Here is a little collage of maternity/newborn images. It was such a pleasure meeting Dina as I feel like she is a friend already. She even shared her maternity clothes and newborn boy clothes with me! Thank you and congratulations to you and your beautiful family.

  • 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.
