Eamon

It was so nice to meet brand new Eamon and his parents. We ended up practically having our whole session outside and Eamon slept away with the sound of birds, the humidity of the day and the patience of his mom and dad. I could feel the love for their new baby. I am so lucky (I know this is going to sound corny but please bear with me!) because you can just feel the joy and the coming together of family when a new baby arrives. It’s like everyone remembers what matters in life and this is what I felt with Eamon’s family. Certainly I’m not immune to it! Newborn sessions leave for a lot of time to talk to parents and new grandparents, and it was a pleasure getting to know and photographing this family. Thank you for your patience waiting for your sneak peek!

  • 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.
