Welcome to my Blog!

JP Gallery is located about 15 minutes southwest of Jefferson City (between Eldon and Jeff). We are a small home based studio that strives to provide you with exceptional portraits and customer service. We are three women that are just like most of you - a mom, a wife, a friend, a daughter, etc. -we are - Jen the photographer, Judy the office manager/assistant, and Lori the design specialist. Together we are a great team.

Whether photographing a graduating senior or a two year old boy, I strive to capture the true essence of the individual. To me, this means photographing not only the smiles, but the expressions that will help you to remember (in years to come) what that loved one's personality was really like. I work at improving my craft daily by continuing education and pouring my heart and soul into my work. I LOVE what I do and have been truly blessed with this gift.

Another blessing that comes with what I do is the ability to make and grow new relationships. I have become very close with many of my clients and now consider them not only customers but friends. Thanks for taking the time to browse my website. - jen

One sweet & happy baby!

If any of you out there have kept up with me on FB then you know I have posted a lot about the antics of my 4 yo daughter and her ‘boyfriend’ Drew. Ava and Drew are inseperable at times and are the best of friends. Drew is also our godson and has spent many nights at our home. Ava too goes to sleep over at Drewby’s house whenever she gets the chance. Drew’s oldest brother Adin and my middle child, Jack, are also best friends. (Drew and Adin’s mom Amanda set my husband and I up on our first blind date!) So, needless to say, our familes are pretty close!

Well, last week Adin and Drew welcomed another brother – Alec – into their home. God bless Amanda – three boys!!! – this morning I photographed Alec for the first time and I just couldn’t wait to edit the images and get them loaded onto the blog for everyone to see. This baby is just adorable!!!!!! I have NEVER had a newborn smile thru most of the session. If he wasn’t sleeping, he was smiling! Another funny thing – Alec has the EXACT same birthmark as Ava does on his left knee (just like on Ava’s left knee)!

In addition to getting some really cute images – I got anoter ‘peace out’ baby shot. Don’t know why my babies keep flashing me the peace sign – maybe they are trying to tell me something – enjoy – jen
