When you're pregnant and looking for maternity photos, there are so many options it can be overwhelming, but Jennifer Loomis stood out. Instead of the ubiquitous pictures of women staring lovingly and literally glowingly at their growing stomachs in a field of wildflowers, Jennifer captured what pregnancy really is: a huge range of emotions, a huge range of physical sensations, and - love. When I look back on my maternity pictures, I don't see a lot of glorification of pregnancy. I see how much love I had for the baby, and I see how hard it was, and I see how incredible and amazing it was, and I see how scared we were - I see it all. Moreover, despite a difficult pregnancy, Jennifer made me feel beautiful. Since then, we've returned to Jennifer for newborn photos as a family, and my daughter and I go for a photo shoot every year around her birthday to document her growing up. Taking that time for my daughter shows her how much I love her, how important she is, how her childhood is worth preserving and documenting. And every time, Jennifer's pictures get better. She captures who my daughter is (and who my dogs are - they come too!), and she captures our relationship, with all its many emotions. I really can't imagine a better photographer, or a better use of time and money. There's nothing more important to me than my child, and Jennifer's photos document that perfectly.
