Why choose custom photography?

Custom photography is a product and experience in which you get to choose the style and final look of your portraits. There are many factors that ultimately make up your final portraits. These may include the photographer's style, location of your portrait session, clothing, props, lighting, mood, your vision meshed with the photographer's vision and the final products you desire.

Photographers that offer custom photography may have many different options available to you that fit their style or may have a very distinct style that you may like and choose. They have the ability to make your experience tailored just for you as opposed to the chain store limits and crowds.

Jenny Lee's photography's studio is stocked full of props, backdrops, wraps, outfits, hats, furs, vintage toys, baskets, etc. We want to work with you to mesh your style with our style to create the best session for you and your family.

Imagine getting your family dressed and ready for your portrait session. Usually that is the most stressful part of any of my sessions. Then you walk into my studio which is ready to go and we start photographing. Family sessions typically take 30-60 minutes. I have had many dads tell me that was pretty painless and thank me for making it so easy and not stressful. Mainly, this is because we have talked before the session and I know what direction we want to go and have it mentally planned out.

Custom photography requires a level of commitment, investment in time, money, and planning on the part of the client and requires a larger time commitment for the photographer as well. When you make an investment in photography, you want it to last a lifetime.

Meet Amelia, 8 days new

Amelia Rose came to see us in the studio for her newborn portrait session. Mama loves purple so we had fun with purple for Amelia. We've had so many boys in the studio that having a girl was a real treat and she was just so precious at 6lbs 4oz. and 19".  Here are just a few of my favorites from her session.

 Thanks to my assistant Renee for her patience so we could get this perfect baby hanging shot! My assistant is the best! And look at that sweet Amelia's smile! Gotta love it!

How precious is this mama and baby portrait! This is one for this family's legacy!

Why Birth Photography?

excitement + anticipation + preparation + hope + strength + determination + concern + transition + support + awe + joy + love + bliss

This describes the birth journey in words. If you've experienced the birth of a child you can probably identify with each of those words. They may conjure visual memories in your mind representing each stage of labor, birth and those first moments meeting your child. You may even have a video or some snapshots or cellphone pictures taken by a busy nurse or an anxious Daddy or Grandparent to mark the day, but most parents walk away from their birth journey and into parenthood without a way to mark the powerful transition they just experienced.

Birth photography transforms the birth journey into more than just a cherished life memory. It creates the story of your child's birth from the tiniest detail to the sheer emotion shared between partners to the moment that baby and parents fall in love at first sight.

There are very few events in life as wonderful as the birth of a new baby. I love photographing births. It's an incredible honor to be there in those first moments . . . . the first breath, the first cry, the first time your baby looks up into your eyes.

If you've ever considered having the birth of your child photographed. DO IT. You won't regret it. This is one of the biggest, defining moments of your life, it makes sense to document it. Once those moments have passed, you won't ever relive them, but with printed memories, you can revisit them, over and over.

Care for Your Wall Art

Location
Where do you plan on displaying a wall portrait? This question is more important than you think and will help to extend the life of your portrait investment.

• Humidity is a huge factor to consider before deciding where to install wall art. Installing canvas or mounted prints in bathrooms, or in any area that is prone to regular humidity and temperature changes is highly discouraged. Frequent changes in temperature and humdity will eventually cause warping or print damage.

• Installing wall art too close to frequently running heating and cooling vents can also result in damage over long periods of time.

• Direct sunlight that is shining through non-UV protected windows can eventually cause fading, or warping. In extreme cases, mounted prints can gradually separate from the mounting substrate. Prolonged exposure to UV light is always discouraged!

Extend the life your wall art by simply considering the location of your wall art.

Baby Ian, 9 days new

Meet Newborn Ian at 9 days new! This sweet little one was a pleasure for my assistant, Renee, and I to pose. Here are a just a few of my favorite images from Ian's newborn session:

Print Size, Does it Really Matter?

So you've hired a professional photographer to take amazing images of your family with the intention of celebrating this very special time in your life by purchasing digital files so you can print your tiny 5x7 prints and maybe an 8x10 (because it seems bigger) at the local photo lab?

The negative space around your tiny 5x7 portrait is actually taking away from your beautiful photographs. I have photography software that will enable me to design custom works of art for your home. I am able to use this software to import your own images and display them on your wall, therefore, enabling you to see what it looks like on your wall. One of the best parts is you can see what size will look the best on your wall. Take a look at the following images; they have been scaled to size so it shows you exactly what the size is in relation to the furniture in the room.

You invest in custom photography to cherish and remember this time in your life always. Display it largely and proudly in your home. It makes such a beautiful statement and impression. So, print size, does it really matter? Take a look at the image below, which canvas size would you rather have hanging above the nursery crib?
