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....
As I was editing my most recent newborn photoshoot today, I was presented with a fb memory of the very first newborn I ever photographed.
I had no clue what I was doing 13 years ago. I just knew I wanted to photograph babies. My neighbor was willing to be my guinea pig. At the time, I was happy with how they turned out. However, it was hard and I quickly realized I needed help. I tried my hand at it a few more times before biting the bullet and attending a newborn workshop.
My work has evolved and changed quite a bit over the last several years. In fact, I rarely do traditional “beanbag/blanket” poses anymore but every now and then I will incorporate them.
It’s so fun to see the comparison of how my work looked when I first started vs how it looks today!

Always trying to level up on a personal professional level… and forever grateful for the clients along for the ride. 2026 has been packed with newborns already and I’M HERE FOR IT!
Bring me your babies. Bring me your real.

I don’t just take photos.
I preserve beginnings.
My work is intentional, emotional.
For parents who want more than a snapshot.
For those who understand that these images will only grow in value with time.
I document the newborn days that pass too quickly,
the moments that feel small now but become everything later.
This is what I do.
And I do it with purpose.

5 things you will feel during a maternity session with me 🤍
1. Safe — held in a space where nothing is expected of you except to be.
2. Seen — not posed or perfected, but truly noticed.
3. Powerful — because creating life is the strongest thing your body will ever do.
4. Soft — allowed to slow down, breathe, and melt into this season.
5. Connected — to your baby, to your body, to the version of you that’s being born too.
This isn’t about photos that impress.
It’s about images that feel like you.
