We asked Jennifer to take pictures of our newborn in late January of this year. I love the photo's she captured. The baby was only 5 days old, and was happiest when he was being held. My absolute favorite picture, the naked baby resting in the crook of my arm, is framed and hanging in our hallway. We also were able to get a few pictures of him and his older siblings and our family. She was very patient and professional and worked with us to get the shots we were hoping for. We will definitely use her again for family and baby photos.

Jennifer Becker is a talented, soulful photographer. In a day where everyone seems to be following the trend of calling themselves a photographer because they have purchased an expensive camera, J. Becker is not a copycat. She is real, dedicated, idealistic and passionate about capturing the essence of what a photograph should truly mean. From our wedding to our children, she has given us memories to cherish forever. We will always be grateful to her for the honor of photographing our family.

JBecker photography is a treasure! Her photographs are priceless moments in time that truly capture the essence of her clients, no matter how small. Her natural easy way puts you at ease and brings out the best, and the pictures are truly gorgeous and simply stunning. I have had my daughters pictures taken numerous times with unhappiness as the end result. With JBecker Photography not only was I stunned with how beautiful the poses were, but delighted by the colors and the end result. Priceless treasures! Can't wait for our next session. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience and beautiful pictures of my baby girl that will last a lifetime.

Jbecker has created beautifully composed, pieces of art of my family and I for well over 10 years. She truly has a gift and a creative eye that shines through every photo she takes. The entire photography session from beginning to end is enjoyable and I recommend her to everyone I know. If you want a keepsake that you will love for the rest of your life, then I would definitely contact Jbecker photography;)

Jennifer is amazing! She is so creative and can make a truly special keepsake picture out of a few props and some green space (and a child who was somewhat willing until Jennifer captivated him and made him smile uncontrollably!) She was also able to help recreate a picture of my dad as a baby in the '30s with my son! Her edits are impeccable and timely, and she is always willing to help the customer get exactly what they want... and better than they imagined!

Professional and creative two key factors in great photography and you get both when you use J.Becker Photography. Not only are the shots well composed but the post production work is fantastic. I am a professional creative director and use pros regularly and I highly recommend J.Becker.

Question and answer
Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?
A. I wish customers knew about the value of composition and exposure to create meaningful, lasting photos. Ultimately, art is in the eye of the beholder... But when you are looking at a photographers work, ask yourself these few questions and you will be happier in the long run with who you've chosen to capture your life's little moments:
1) Are the images consistent? By that I mean, would they all work together in one big photo album or would it look random? You should always choose a photographer who is consistent with their style, otherwise you never know what you are going to get!
2) Are the images "blown out"? Can you see detail in whites or do they look completely flat? This is very important because if a photographers images are always blown out, this proves lack of knowledge for their camera and equipment. Lack of knowledge is dangerous. Especially when hiring a photographer for an event that cannot be recreated. Like your wedding day! You want to SEE the detail in your dress.
3) Are the images meaningful? Are the photographers images something that you can see hanging on the walls in your home for years to come? If you are investing time and money into a photographer, really look at their work - are there more pictures of cropped off heads, feet, hands and random body parts than faces? What about backdrop? Are there things in the background that are distracting, like trash cans, power lines, cars or people? A skilled photographer is proficient at choosing locations, angles and positions for their clients so that there are no distractions in their photos.
4) Last but certainly not least; Check testimonials and talk to potential photographers before hiring. Also keep in mind that just because your "friend's friend" suggests you use their photographer, doesn't mean they are right for you.
I also wish clients were more aware of the time and effort photographers put into their work after the session is over. A passionate photographer will pour their heart into each image during the editing process, because ultimately it is an extension of themselves and who they are as an artist.
Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. I have 10+ years of experience as a photographer. I stand out because I don't follow trends and have a creative eye for props and themed photo sessions. My images are very clean, beautiful and I put my heart into each session as well as the editing process.
Q. What do you like most about your job?
A. I love the reaction I get from clients when they see their images for the first time. They are always so pleasantly surprised! Especially when they thought that their child was not cooperative enough to capture a photo...
My favorite sessions are with newborns. I love spending time in the studio dressing them up and using props to create a unique image that the client will cherish forever.
Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A. The most common question is: What can I bring to my session?
The answer depends of course on what type of session it is. I like to talk one-on-one with the client to get an idea of what their personality is and what they would like to accomplish from our time together, then let them know what, if anything, they should bring with them.
Q. What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?
A. I think photographers generally don't see each other as competition. In this profession, there's always enough work to go around! I personally think of it this way: If I don't like his / her work, they certainly aren't competition. If I LOVE their work, they are inspirational.
Q. How did you decide to get in your line of work?
A. My dad.
Growing up my dad always had a camera in his hand. Even after years of being caught off guard, my family continued to get caught in his pictures with our mouths open, ready to take a bite of food! He took pictures of everything! Video as well... and although it seemed like a pain every time he interviewed us on our birthday or dragged us outside for a quick picture - I look back on the images remembering his face and how he acted when he was taking the picture or video. He loved it... and one day he decided to pass the torch, or a camera in this case, to me. He started ordering me around at weddings, making me run up the isle to take a photo because I was smaller than him, he would pass the camera to me at family functions etc. Then, in high school, he gave me his beloved 35mm. The rest of this story is spelled out in the last 10+years of my work :)
