I am Jennifer, a New Jersey/New York based portrait photographer. I shoot modern lifestyle portraits of maternity, newborns, children, seniors and families. I simply adore what I do! I love being a fly on the wall while capturing the special interactions between families and their loved ones. I am especially fond of photographing children. I just love looking at their world through my camera. This blog is a journal of my personal and professional images. Please feel free to drop me a note. My portfolio and portrait site can be found at: http://www.jenniferlavelle.com

We are “blessed” with having not one, but two January birthdays seven days apart. How I would love to have a summer birthday were the party can be outside and the kids can run free. This however will never happen so we have to make the best of the winter fun. The children don’t mind though .. they are happy wherever balloons and cupcakes are!
Ever since I was a little girl, pink has always been a favorite color — even when I went through my “black stage”. Don’t all girls go through a black phase in their adolescence? Anyways, when I walked in the door of this new family’s home in Connecticut I was pleasantly surprised to see an amazing POC .. “pop of color”. Right away, I believe, I mentioned how her sweater would pop in the photos — and pop it does indeed! That late fall afternoon seems so distant as all of us on the east coast are shivering and freezing today. Time to make some hot cocoa and dream about spring …
I am in the process of working on my Winter 2012 Newsletter. If anyone is not on my mailing list and would like to be, please email me and I will make sure to add you to the list! Lots of exciting news and announcements to come…
This family is not only a client but good friends. It is always so nice when the kids feel comfortable with you as a photographer from the get-go so you can get some fun family photos right from the beginning. We were lucky enough to meet early one morning when the streets were empty and the kids were able to scoot around without running into anyone.
One of my favorite Chatham families has moved back to their home country of Argentina. It was so sad to see them leave but I am sure their families are thrilled to get them back. A few weeks before Christmas and in the midst of all of their packing and holiday madness, we quickly went out for a couple of hours to capture them in some of their favorite local haunts. Eugenia, I will definitely miss seeing your smile every day but hopefully one day I will come back to visit Buenos Aires and we can hit up Prune and Sucre!
I realize I am three days late on wishing you all a very happy new year but I guess better late then never. This past week we headed on a jet plane and went up to a ski resort in Ontario. The kids got on skis for the first time and loved it! I brought my big camera with me but due to the bulkiness and snow I barely took it out except for on the “propeller” plane — yikes! My trusty iphone 4S stood in its place and I conveniently snapped some photos and instagrams on it. The highlight was spending so much time in the toasty warm outdoor pools and spas. There is nothing like it!
Here is to a wonderful 2012.
I can’t believe 2011 is nearly over. How did that happen? Thank you to all my amazing friends and clients for your unbelievable support this year. I couldn’t have done it without you and I truly appreciate your business. Can’t wait for 2012!
I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and get to spend lots of time with your loved ones.

This lovely family asked me to come up to photograph them in their local surroundings. The 3 boys were on the run the whole time but we managed to get some super cute shots of them while they were on the go. If ever in the area, drop by the mom’s super cute store — lots of great goodies and gifts!
You know you are going to have some fun when their dog’s name is “Jagger”. I loved how the three children and Jagger’s hair was the exact same color. Now that is some coordinating! It was so nice to spend an afternoon with you all. Enjoy the holidays.
Now that I am starting to come up for air, I can catch up on blogging all of the wonderful fall sessions I had. It is so fun to see holiday cards starting to pour in of images I took this year. Keep them coming … I love seeing them all!
I met this new family (to me) in Maplewood and we had a great time walking around and documenting an afternoon in their town. I alway think how great it will be in 20 years to look back at images especially ones in front of a local movie theatre. What number will they be at of Happy Feet in 2031?
