Woof! Woof! | Richmond VA Pet Photographer | Jen Jacobowitz Photography

ATHENA

December 23, 2013

I have been wanting to test the waters of pet photography for a while now. My plan was to try it out with my best friend’s dog since she is, hands down, THE BEST DOG EVER! Long story short goes like this… I never got around to it. A couple of weeks ago by cousin contacted me and asked if I did this very thing. I told him I had not but I was up to giving it a try!

Keep in mind, while I will do stylized shoots (and LOVE them) I still am not your JC Penney’s type of photography…. and, to me, that’s a good thing. So what you will find below is not a flash studio set up with solid color backdrops. What you will find below is pet photography done true to my style… relaxed, fun, intimate.

Fall is coming. 🍂

And if you’ve been telling yourself you’re going to get family photos this year…

this is your sign to stop putting it off.

Because the leaves will change.
The kids will get another year older.
And this exact season of your family will be gone before you know it.

My fall mini sessions are short, relaxed, and designed to give you beautiful images without spending hours trying to get everyone to cooperate.

If you’ve been thinking about doing fall photos this year, now is the time to book.

Send me a message and I’ll send you all the details. 🤎

There is no photograph important enough to rush a newborn.

If your baby needs to eat, we stop. If they need to be soothed, we stop. If they need a break, we take one. And if they don’t like a particular pose, we move on.

Because your newborn session isn’t a race to get through a shot list.

Some of the photographs I love most happen because we slowed down. Because baby was comfortable. Because mom needed a minute. Because everyone simply relaxed and let the session unfold.

Beautiful newborn photography and a calm, baby-led experience should go hand in hand.

That’s how I can create both the beautiful classic newborn portraits you imagined and the natural, connection-filled photographs you’ll treasure just as much.

You can’t pose this kind of chemistry.
You can give two people a camera and tell them exactly where to stand.
Or you can give them something to do together and let them forget you’re there.
A little clay. A lot of laughter. A few kisses. And all the little in-between moments that happen when two people are completely comfortable with each other.
That’s the kind of intimacy I love photographing.
Not perfectly manufactured moments. Not a checklist of poses.
Just the two of you, being completely yourselves.

Hey RVA!- I may not always show the classic newborn poses here… but trust me, I still do them. 😉

As a Richmond, VA newborn photographer, my sessions aren’t just lifestyle and they aren’t just posed.

You get both.

The beautifully posed, timeless portraits like this one AND the genuine, in-between moments that capture your baby and your family exactly as you are.

Because I don’t think you should have to choose.

And honestly? I think your gallery is better for it.

This is the part of my newborn photography that I don’t talk about enough—and one of the things that makes my sessions different.

Classic portraits. Real connection. One session.

Your kids don’t have to sit still for family photos. 🤎
Actually, some of my favorite photographs happen when they don’t.
When they run. When they laugh. When they wiggle. When they stop to pick up a leaf. When they climb into your lap. When they forget I’m even there.
I don’t need your toddler to behave perfectly or your family to spend an hour smiling at my camera.
I want to see your family as you actually are.
Because years from now, I don’t think you’ll miss the perfectly posed photograph nearly as much as you’ll miss the way your little one used to run into your arms, the sound of their laugh, or how tiny they looked holding your hand.
Those are the moments I want to preserve for you.
And yes...I’ll still get the beautiful portraits where everyone is looking at the camera, too. 😉
Fall family sessions are now booking in Richmond, VA.
If you’ve been waiting for your kids to be a little easier, a little calmer, or a little more cooperative before scheduling photos—don’t wait.
They don’t have to be perfect. They just have to be yours. 🤎
