ATHENA
I'm a Jesus loving, song singing Mama and photographer. There is a constant struggle in me to hold onto all the yesterdays while deeply longing to jumpstart the next adventure. I look at my children, now young adults, 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 want to remember all the stories, and I want to help you do the same.
I specialize in Couples, Maternity and Newborn photography. Family sessions are still offered but only after a phone consultation ensuring that we are on the same page. It must be understood that those sessions are not just pretty pictures of your best faces but rather a documentary session of the real life you live and love that you share. The in between moments are often my favorite.
MATERNITY
NEWBORN - 1st year
couples, family & children
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. Think fun! Think connective. I have so many ideas to share with 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, Maternity, Newborn and Family Sessions.
When you inquire with me, please share a little bit about yourself, those that will be photographed with you and why you desire this moment in time to be documented. Let me know if there is anything special you want to incorporate in your session: a vintage car, a camper, floating in the pool or a fun family morning at Krispy Kreme. Oh, be still my heart. Operation: Mood Board! Perhaps you're about to bring a new life into this world, or have just done so and need the warm embrace of the studio to help capture all those feelings and special details. Together, we will work to design a handcrafted session that speaks to your soul.
It really is so important for me to get to know you. This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship, my dear. We'll spend time communicating about how to make your session unique but true to you.

Studio sessions don’t mean you lose intimacy and authentic moments. Just the opposite, in fact.

Family photography sessions don’t have to be in a field, at a park or any other “picturesque” location.
Your home, your backyard is perfect. A place where your family can be authentically you! Daily life, simple activities that you like doing together are my favorite thing to capture and end up being my client’s most treasured memories.

When I tell you she wanted nothing to do with her cake, I mean NOTHING! Nevertheless, we still had a fun session capturing this milestone moment. Lots of laughs, lots of snuggles!
Check out the next to last slide to see mom and dad making the most of it and getting in on the fun.

No, your newborn session does not have to take place in the JJP studio. In home sessions are available and have a uniqueness all of their own.
Prop poses are not a part of in-home sessions but TONS of cuddling time is!

Stop waiting. Every day you don’t book, your newborn is already changing without you capturing it.
This stage isn’t slow, it’s disappearing, fast. And once it’s gone, there’s no recreating it.
Let’s be real:
👉🏼“I’ll do it later” usually turns into never
👉🏼You will regret not having these photos
👉🏼Your baby will never be this tiny again….Ever
Book the session. Stop hesitating.
