Welcome

I'm Jennifer! Thanks so much for visiting my blog! I love my family, what I do and all the amazing people I meet along the way. A lot has inspired me and gotten me here, and I couldn't be happier. I am truly blessed! As you look through my portfolio and blog you will see that the perfect photograph is the 'perfectly imperfect' one. It's real life. It's who they are and I captured it for them. Those are the photos that will bring you back in time for you to hold on to with that unexplainable obsession. As a mother, I look at those "perfectly imperfect" photos of my babies on a daily basis with a feeling I never truly knew existed. Come here often as I will give little peeks inside some of my favorite sessions. Thanks for looking! Jennifer Womack

a white backdrop couldn't get any better.

So this mom wanted this little guy's 1st birthday cake pics to look similar to brothers that was taken 4 years ago with a white backdrop, well I don't own a white backdrop so we searched around the house for something that could work. Then I noticed the white cabinets in her kitchen and perfect for me - close to the back door - and they worked GREAT!! I love the way they turned out - And I know mom thinks so too :)

and we are back to normal.

So I have had power back for over 2 weeks now and haven't slowed down. I do have to admit it was nice for a bit (well when the weather was nice or when we left for College Station and the Hyatt Hill Country) to enjoy quality time with my hubby and daughter and friends. But as soon as the electricity came back on, we were all back to our crazy routine. And now for LOTS of holiday pics.

this beautiful mom and baby boy should be in a magazine.

This shot makes me think of all the celebrity magazine shoots where the new mom and dad get to show off their beautiful baby while lounging around their gorgeous home! I love that this looks like one of those...

watching them grow.

I saw this little 1 year old in the spring and again last week. And I will get to watch him grow throughout the next year too - he is a year of giggles boy. And I look forward to many sessions with him and his super sweet mommy!


And the giggles aren't hard to get out of this HAPPY & HANDSOME little guy!

And look what his mommy had made for his 1st birthday party....custom invitations with his BEAUTIFUL pictures from our last session!!!

Christmas in July.

My husband was singing Christmas songs the other morning at breakfast and telling my little girl about how much fun we are going to have watching Rudolph, and it totally got me in the Christmas mood. So that got me thinking about a fun special for all of you.


$200


45 minutes for a family of 5 or less


All pictures on CD to make your beautiful Christmas cards and gifts for your family.


And don't forget to check out www.littledivasdesigns.com I am sure she will have some new and very TRENDY cards this year! I can't wait for her to do mine!


Check back for the dates that I will be downtown, at Herman Park, the Heights, Katy, Pearland, College Station and possibly the Woodlands (there will be no travel fee for those dates).

my own giggles.

Couldn't pass this up for my little gigglebox - she is constantly laughing and smiling, until I get the camera out, but now that she is almost 2, she will smile for me and say cheese (not sure where she learned that...but I think her daddy taught her) once out of every 100 pictures :) But I just love all of her looks - that is totally who she is in the second picture!

and check out her rosy cheeks - she gets those from her momma after playing outside for just a few minutes :( sorry sweet girl....


Check back this weekend for my Christmas Special :)

that much more special.





I just totally LOVE finding things around my client’s home to use…so neat to think that someday he’ll look back on this and know that was in the house where he grew up and has been in his family for generations. And this family was so sweet and fun to spend an afternoon with and dad is a Kingwood native living in the Heights (but moving a little closer to the burbs now that his first little guy is here :) Isn't he SO handsome. LOVE his coloring and bright brown eyes -SO SCRUMPTIOUS!!!

so this mom can rest knowing we got one of each.

After a long car ride in from Louisiana, this very calm and patient mom, dad and grandma attempted a session before their doctors appt. But this 3 month old and 18 month old had much different plans. I told mom not to give up completely on sessions and she told me I might decide to change careers after her kids, but I promise it will get easier and I have had AND will have worse - those are very hard ages, and together, almost impossible. But here are two I know she will LOVE!


I have more coming, but I wanted this mommy to see these now!

what summers are made of.

family and vacations!!


Another travel spot I just went to was the Hyatt Hill Country in San Antonio. I didn't get to stay there myself this time, but since this will be an annual trip for this family, I will make sure I can add a few days there for my family - it looks FABULOUS!!


And this cousins shot - LOVE IT! They will have so many great memories together throughout the years and I just captured one for them!

and I travel too.

When I got my first request to travel, she didn't have to twist my arm - it was to one of me and my husbands favorite places - College Station! So a Sunday afternoon there was not work!!!


And I'll be heading back to College Station in the next few months for Christmas pictures and again for some newborn shots in the new year if you are interested in a session there, let me know and we will figure out a good date for the Fall - maybe a football weekend!


And I would love to do more. If you can get a few sessions in your location, you can split the travel cost and we can all have a fun afternoon around your home or favorite park.

trash the dress...well sort of.

I just love the idea of the trash the wedding dress!!! I just don't know if I could do it to my own, but I thought having little girls trash their dress would be cute and fun and boy would they LOVE it.


This spunky 3 year old was so fun and playful so it wasn't hard to get all those cute shots, and for cooperating so well, her Aunt let her go swim after our session and I couldn't pass that up. She barely got her dress off, and I just love that the bloomers and hair bow are still in tact. So next time your little girl takes those Easter, Christmas or Birthday dress pictures, and if you have no other plans for that dress after, playing in the water, a sprinkler, hose or pool after the real pictures would be so CUTE!!!

the giggles i love to get.

This almost 2 year old was so cute and sweet to play with and like most toddlers, all over the place. And beautiful at that. I just love her bright brown eyes and curly hair to match!!


(click on the image for a clearer view - typepad just changed something about the uploaded pictures, and I don't like that they are so hard to see - I'll have to figure out how to fix that)

This mommy is going to have fun choosing her favorites - she is going to want to frame them all!

not too bad for a shot of 6 kids.

This was my first shot at a group of kiddos this large - with the oldest 15 and the youngest under 6 months. And I love the way this one turned out - it was my favorite - with all of their genuine smiles and smirks :)

a little a la carte.

In addition to offering the CD with all sessions, you have the option of ordering prints through my professional lab. Many of my clients have said they don't know where to go for better quality enlargement prints. They don't want to go to CVS or order through Shutterfly, etc. And my recommendations have been that you can either order through Kingwood Photo lab (an excellent local lab), mpix.com (which is a very good on line lab) and now me. I use an on line professional lab that prints GREAT quality prints and enlargements. 


~ all prints 11*14 and larger are mounted, sprayed and ready for framing


5*7 and under ~ $10


8*10 ~ $20


11*14 ~ $45


16*20 ~ $75


20*24 ~ $100


Canvas art pieces and custom sizes (10*10, 12*12 and more) are also available. Please inquire.
