Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I am a natural light, on-location documentary-style photographer. I have a photojournalism/storytelling approach. I specialize in newborns, children, and family. I also take several natural light headshots every month--perfect for updating your social media accounts, such as LinkdIn, Twitter, Facebook, and your work profile. While I don't have a studio, I do use a fabulous central Madison location for professional & polished natural light images. "She immediately made me feel very comfortable and I am generally very uneasy around cameras. She also explained how certain lighting and backdrops would affect the photos so we could make informed decisions about the photos. 10/10 would recommend Jen to friends and colleagues!" --Mei, headshot client "Working with Jen Lucas feels as natural as the finished pieces of art she produces. The anxiety-producing, staged "say cheese!" parts of family photo sessions are gone, thank goodness. She literally followed our family around with a camera and her talented eye, and amazed me when we sat down together to go through what she created from that walk of ours that summer evening. I highly recommend using Jen if you want beautiful results to capture the moments you wouldn't think to capture. As Jen puts it, beautifully ordinary moments. "-Allison

In an hour on one peaceful morning, Jen Lucas gave a priceless gift to our family. For years, we looked for the kind of professional photographer who could really focus her lens on the inside of our daughter's spirit, capturing more than just a smile or eyes on the camera portrait. Our child was immediately drawn to Jen, who is is patient, versatile and not only willing but wanting to collaborate with her young subject. By the time the session was over, my child wanted to be a photographer! Waiting to see those proofs felt like the days before Christmas. Jen produced them with great timeliness and they left us absolutely speechless. Not only is Jen a personable professional in a session setting, she is a serious artist. Our family collects photographic art and Jen's work ranks right up there with the greats. We're eager to book another session with her.

Jen was so wonderful to work with, and our photos are beyond even our highest expectations. I can't recommend her highly enough! We were new to the area and after consulting with us to figure out exactly what we wanted out of our shoot, she was able to suggest several different sites around Madison that could work for us. We hadn't done a professional photo shoot before and she was able to give us really helpful (but minimal) guidance/instruction to help us get exactly the vibe we wanted. Our family consists of two adults, a very active toddler, and a dog, and she was able to capture all of us perfectly. I am so, so happy that we have these pictures to remember this beautiful stage in our lives. We definitely plan to become repeat customers!

The final products speak for themselves. Beautiful, natural light images that captured my family beautifully. Instead of a stressful photo shoot, it was a lovely walk around the neighborhood, with Jen clicking away from all sides. I absolutely recommend using Jen Lucas Photography.

Five stars! I have nothing but positive things to say about my experiences with Jen Lucas Photography. Jen is professional and one of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Recently, she photographed my professional, natural light head shots. I have also worked with her in the past as a family photographer.

Jen just did a head shot session with me this morning. The experience from start to finish has been amazing. Jen is thoughtful, responsive, professional, and very skilled. The photography session itself when very well and was a much more comfortable experience than I ever imagined it could be. I would return to Jen again for this - or any other photography service as this experience was so positive.

FAQs

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    On location, natural light photographer... We can meet in the city for an urban setting--think bricks, city streets, Madison's genuine busyness all around us, or in a natural setting surrounded by grasses, fields, lakes, trees. My all time favorite session is in your home. It's your authentic space. Nothing better! Your session reflects who you are!

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Look at your photographer's portfolio--is it up-to-date? Have they recently blogged their work? Does it capture emotion in a way that you'd like to be documented? Does their style mesh with yours? Do you view their work as art?
