Baby Eduardo

so…this post is officially ONE year late. A lot has happened in this year and I realized that I have dozens of sessions that have gone “unblogged”. I am on a mission to rectify this situation and am so excited to finally blog baby Eduardo because this family is among my favorites. Their little guy was such a perfect, beautiful baby. When you see mom and dad you will know why. Thank you Jorge and Georgina for you endless patience and kindness. I promise it will be worth it.

And just to show you how teeny tiny he was:

Little Lillian Grace

This was the second part of my favorite kind of session…the Belly to BABY! I’ve said it a hundred times but it doesn’t make it any less true…I love meeting mom’s to be and then meeting their little miracles a few weeks later. It is like magic. Once Lillian’s mama and I started talking we realized that we had quite a bit in common…we have lived almost parallel lives (along with having the same name)! Even without all of our “coincidences”, I would have felt connected to Jennifer anyway. She and her husband could not have been kinder or more open and excited to share their sweet Lillian. I loved meeting all of them and plan to stay in touch with this warm family. Thank you P 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.
