Jennifer Shore Photography

Bigs and Littles of the H family

When I read Micki’s client information form I knew that I was going to like her immediately. She included details about each of her 4 children that could only come from a mom who has taken the time to really notice who they are. I hope she doesn’t mind but I am going to quote her from the client form. When talking about the type of session she would like she said, “We’re probably more reserved than some of your families, but we have fun together, and I’d be thrilled if you can somehow capture some of the dynamics among the kids. It’s all changing so fast, and I know that’s the memory that will mean the most to us in the future.”. This is exactly why I believe you should never wait to get photos done. You are capturing moments in time that go too quickly. Thank you H family for allowing me to help with this! It was such a pleasure.

  • 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.
