Hello my name is Jennifer
I'm a mother to 2 boys living in the city of Chicago.
I was born and raised in Cincinnati Ohio. I moved to NYC with my boyfriend in 2010 then moved to Chicago Illinois in 2012 and that is where my journey in photography really started.
My Story...
When I lived in New York it was then I started documenting photos of the city and started a blog of my life there. Social media was blooming back then and so it helped me show my family and friends what it was like living in NYC. It was really fun sharing my adventures through my photos.
NYC was really the city that never went to sleep!
When my first son was born in 2011 I started to get emotionally connected to photography. My son was my first model, my inspiration and my focus that got me to be more creative.
I wanted to capture every single moment of my belly bump to the day he was born and all his first milestones. I loved documenting everything about him. He gave me this fire inside that encouraged me to love photography a little bit more and it made me see that it was more than just taking a photo, it was creating memories I would cherish forever!
In 2012 we moved from NYC to Chicago.
In 2014 I decided to take this passion I had for photography and make it a reality. It was then I started Jennifer Littner Photography. On this awesome journey I have met some amazing clients but I also established beautiful friendships too!
In 2019 I had my second son and had to limit my time in my photography to be a mom first but I'm still taking photos and I hope to be full time mom and photographer when both of my kids are in school.
My availability now is limited but I'm still taking sessions. I am also working on new projects for my business. The future for Jennifer Littner Photography is looking brighter every day!
My Goal...
I want to capture memories for people and create something more than just a photo of a smile, but a memory someone could look back and remember every feeling and detail that was captured in that moment...I want to bring heart, soul and life to that photo.
Most importantly I want my clients to to be truly happy!!!!! :)
My style...
I have to say my style leans more towards lifestyle/candid images with a crisp and classic but modern look that leaves the images timeless. I love to capture my clients in true moments, however I'm always there by your side to guide you in every step of the way, I will show you simple poses to help you feel comfortable at your session. So if you're a bit nervous or shy... I got ya!
I love taking portraits because it makes me feel like I can connect with my subject on an emotional and personal level to achieve some beautiful and creative images.
I adore children sessions... I love getting down at their level and doing whatever it takes to get them to smile. I have to admit, sometimes I get a little bit too silly and forget it's a photo session...but hey, I guess that's the mom in me and I will work hard for you to get those smiles! :) Just don't judge me on my silly tactics....just trust the process!!!
I don't want to be just your average person with a big clunky camera in their hand....I want YOU to feel your best and feel comfortable with me so it shows in the photos.
I'm a little shy at first too and that's one thing I love about this business, it has pushed me to be more social with people and really go out of my comfort zone, so my goal is to have you feel comfortable, have fun and enjoy your time with me as well!
Honestly without art and creativity I think I'd be lost...This is just how I SEE it! :)
Now Let's take some photos!!!
Smiles,
Jennifer
