ATHENA
I'm a Jesus loving, song singing Mama, wife and photographer. There is a constant struggle in me to hold onto all the yesterdays while deeply longing to jumpstart the next adventure. Whoever said "the days are long but the years are short" is a freaking genius. As my children grow older, the truth in those words becomes haunting. I look at my children and want to turn back the hands of time while still fully enjoying the people they are becoming and the life we are living today. I strive to be present while holding onto nostalgia. I want to remember all the stories. And I want to help you do the same.
I can and will travel to mountains and beaches, deserts and farms to soak in all the beauty that this world and your story holds. Whether it be in the walls of your home, my studio or God's wonderful creation... come with me... let's go find the place that speaks to your heart. Let's capture this season on your life on our next adventure before it becomes a yesterday as well.
I'm Jen
Jen Jacobowitz Photography is based out of Richmond, VA but wanderlust will carry me anywhere you want to go. I long to capture authentic moments through soulful imagery whether they be of love or healing. Whatever season of life you are in is the want I want to document. That place where love connects the broken pieces of the past and shows up in the intimate transparency of self, family or new life is where I will meet you.
Every session I engage in is designed to be an experience. One where you show me all the colors of your beautiful heart and I create the art for you. Whether you are venturing into a new relationship, growing your family, going on an adventure or simply want to honor your uniqueness I want to tell your story through my lens.
JJP offers Couples, Engagement, Elopement, Maternity, Newborn, Family & Adventure Sessions.
When you inquire with me, please share a little bit about yourself, those that will be photographed with you and why you are desiring for this moment in time to be documented. Together we will work to design a handcrafted session that speaks to your soul and where the art created demands a spot on your walls.
It really is so important for me to get to know you, and you, me. This is the beginning of a beautiful, beautiful friendship, my dear. I will be your cheerleader, your hype girl... your I-just-need-a-moment girl.
I will show you beauty from ashes, beauty in chaos, beauty in the small in between moments. But first....
There’s a quiet kind of magic in this season — the stillness before everything changes.
The way her hands rest on her belly, already knowing the rhythm of the little heart beating inside.
The way love lingers in the air, unspoken but felt in every breath.
These sessions aren’t just about photographs — they’re about remembering how it felt.
The anticipation, the softness, the love that already runs so deep. 🤍

✨ Sometimes the most beautiful sessions are the ones that simply unfold. No rush —just quiet moments, soft breaths, and the deep connection that naturally flows between parents and their new little soul.
This session was all about presence—letting love lead the way and capturing the gentle rhythm of a brand-new chapter.

I always seem to mis-remember what fall is actually like. Fields turn gold, leaves go on display in the most beautiful colors. Those early hints make me crave my sweaters and jeans. And then reality sets in. It’s still hot!!
I just can’t get down with pumpkin anything while it’s still 80°+ outside.

Over the years I have gravitated to where my heart has pulled me, and that is into connection and storytelling. I still love all the cute baby props and poses so I incorporate those as well. But those patent and family pics… ugh… they get me right in the feels.
