A glamour photoshoot can be elegant, playful, sexy, personal, or a little bit of everything.
For Mariah’s Milwaukee studio portrait session, we built her photographs around pieces of her personality and style, including one thing she especially loves: books. From soft tulle and stacks of favorite titles to dramatic black portraits, lingerie-inspired styling and a sleek evening look, her session moved through several completely different sides of her.
That’s one of my favorite things about contemporary portrait photography. Your session doesn’t have to fit one aesthetic. We can create a collection that feels varied while still feeling completely like you.

MARIAH’S PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE
“My name is Mariah, and I am a stay-at-home momma with three really cool babes. I am a dedicated skincare junkie, I take hot yoga seriously, and I read all of the books. I am also the creator of a professional coaching business called More Than Mama where my mission is to help mothers stop accepting survival mode and step into a happier, healthier, more fulfilled season of mom-life. When I am not having my photo taken by Jennifer, I am busy building a life with my cutie husband and likely decorating a room in our always-being-renovated home.
I wanted to be photographed because I recently came out of a season of not really liking myself. I lost myself somewhere in this crazy motherhood journey and worked really hard to dig myself out of that. I love this version of Mariah and I wanted her documented. Plus, how much fun is it to get all gussied up!
The experience itself was deeply personal. Jennifer has a way of just knowing you and then capturing you. It was meaningful and it was FUN. I was immediately impressed by the consult appointment, because Jennifer took the time to have a conversation with me, about me; who I am, who I have been, why I was there, etc. It meant a lot to me.

A PORTRAIT SESSION BUILT AROUND YOU
Mariah’s session is a great example of how personal details can become part of the photographs without turning the session into a theme. Books mattered to her, so we incorporated them into one look. The rest of her session moved through completely different styles, from romantic and glamorous to bold and understated.
My Milwaukee portrait sessions are planned around the person being photographed, with professional hair and makeup, wardrobe consultation, access to my studio wardrobe, and full posing and expression guidance throughout the shoot.
