I took her wedding pictures then her babies at the hospital. We grew into friends. 13 years later she finally let me take this portrait of her that’s been in my mind for so long. I adore her freckles. And her spirit. Her laugh. Her sentimentality. Thank you @emilyalpers for your loyal friendship, for always cheering me on, for your inspired ideas, and all the shenanigans. 😂 I love you. 💕 * * * #freckles #girlswithfreckles #blackandwhiteportrait #blackandwhitephotography #portraitphotography #portrait #mama #water #lake #jendeanphoto #exsistinphotos #inspired #friend #friendship
Water. Cleanses our souls. Symbolizes so many things. Purifies. Baptizes. Makes us clean. We weep it. We are made of it. Drawn to it. This shoot has been years in coming. Didn’t happen for so many reasons but I waited. Here is the first in the series. More to come. * * * #water #purify #baptize #weep #heal #waterstories #maineportraitphotographer #maineportrait #motherdaughter #love #blackandwhitephotography #blackandwhiteportrait #jendeanphoto #beginagain #portraitphotography

“I know I’m the Rockstar Coach and I love being onstage, but actually having my picture taken is stressful” - @meganjowilson Confidence in your career and abilities doesn’t always translate to your container. We often hold our bodies to standards that are unreachable or unkind. I can show you the powerfully beautiful woman that all of your friends see. The one that you are ready to embrace and celebrate. And share with the world. Are you done with hiding? Let’s chat. 💫 #ingeniousalchemy #visibility
What do you learn about @kellyflagglifestyle when you look at these photos? I love that these images clearly show off her values and her personality!! (More to come!) This is what a Personal Branding session with me is all about...marketing to your ideal client in an authentic way. Get in touch with me to plan your session! Thank you @bardcoffee for the fab background!
I look at my beautiful daughter and wonder what if she wanted to be invisible because she was not proud of who she is? I had two clients come for their portrait sessions, one was dizzy and almost threw up. She told me how she spent most of her life trying to be invisible. The other cried. 💔 I am reminded of why my new offering is so valuable. Seeing ourselves and being SEEN is so VULNERABLE. We are constantly told by everyone around us (including ourselves) that we are not enough! So being seen and putting ourselves out to the world is super scary for many women. Over the last few days I talked with 3 women on the phone about the new course and 2 signed up to work with me!! Yes, I am bragging, because I have learned how to brag. And that it's not about showing off, it's about being so proud of what I have created with this offering that is so needed. (Thank you @meganjowilson for teaching me how to brag!)👏 What I know is that accepting ourselves, all parts of our bodies, minds, emotions, and soul, is a huge task. I spent years trying to 'be nice' to myself and used self care as a way to say "See, I love myself". But that didn't take away the total contraction I had at having my portraits taken. And it didn't fix my inability to trust myself to make the right choices in my life. I can honestly say now that I love myself, my body, my life and my choices. I am not perfect, in fact I am far far from that. I still get really sad and can't get out of my own way sometimes. I fail as a mom or a friend. I mess up all the time. But I have learned how to love ALL of those parts of me. How to be kind to myself and take the time and space I need to process where I am. I know how to confidently put myself out to the world and say hey I have an offering that you might want to do. I have the tools to right my ship again and again. (Including a top notch support system that took years to build). ♥️ What would your life look like if you were not only confident in your career, but also in your body? What would you do if you believed you could? What is it costing you in your life to be invisible? Want to learn more? Send me a message. Let’s chat! - Jen 💫
