About Jennifer mom....wife...coffee addict...cookie monster...photographer Let’s capture the moments that are important to you
“She is a New Orleans girl, and New Orleans girls never live anywhere else and even if they do, they always come back. That’s just the way it is. This is where she belongs. End of discussion.” ~Chris Rose I am a NOLA girl through and through born and raised here, the farthest away I have lived is Lafayette for college. I have had a passion for photography for years, it started when my parents bought me a 35mm filmcamera as a college graduation gift. I eventually switched to a digtal camera, but 10 years later my passion (obsession) continues. When it comes to photographing my own children it is all about preserving the moment. It is about the way my oldest daughter wrinkles her nose when she laughs, how for my little girl curls refuse to stay in her braid and always falls in her eyes, or my baby boy’s toothy grin. It is about the laughter and the smiles, even the pouts and the frown. I want to remember the day to day moments that define our life right now. Dress up, baking cookies, bath time and story time...these are the moments that mean the most to me. This is what I strive to capture for you. It is not about the perfect outfit or the perfect location. It is about capturing the genuine and real moments that define your family. Years from now you will look at these images and laugh maybe even cry (happy tears of course) at the moments we captured.
What moments do you want to remember?

About Your Session
Each of my sessions are all about you. Whether you are expecting baby, brining him home, or celebrating a first birthday. I focus on the moments that define your family. Some images will capture the connections, the smiles, kisses, and hugs. While others will capture the activities, playing, reading stories, or rocking to sleep. And in between I’ll capture the little details. All together it will tell the story of you and your growing family. Years from now, you will loook at these images, and laugh at the silly expressions, reminisce over a favorite toy, and perhaps shed a few happy tears.

Booking Your Newborn Session Please contact me as soon as possible to book your newborn session or Grow With Me Plan. I take a limited number of newborn sessions each month. Since baby’s often like to arrive on their own schedule, I want to ensure that I have plenty of available dates to accomodate your baby’s arrival. When you are ready to book the session please call or email hello@jennifervititoephotography.com. Tell me the type of session or Grow With Me Plan you would like to book. I will then send you a link to complete the client agreement form and pay the $250 retainer. I will mark my calandar with your due date. Remaining balance for your session or Grow With Me Plan will be made in installments via PayPal invoices prior to each session. The intial $250 session retainer will be applied as a credit towards the final session in your Grow With Me Plan.
Preparing for your Session As your due date approaches please keep in touch to let me know your progress, and if it looks like things are on schedule. For in-home sessions please contact me after you have the baby so we can schedule a day and time for the session once you return home. Don’t worry if you go early or later than your due date, that is to be expected and why I only take a limited number each month!
Scheduling In-Hospital Session For in-hospital sessions please send me a text, when you are on the way to the hospital so that I can plan for the session with in the next 48 hours. We will start the session by taking detailed pictures of the baby, and you and your significant other together. Please prepare vistors that they will have to leave the room during this time. During the second half of the session siblings and grandparents will join us, so we can capture their bond and moments together.
Scheduling In-Home Session Preparing for your in-home sessions (maternity, newborn, or milestone) should not be a stressful event. For in-home sessions please contact me after you have the baby so we can schedule a day and time for the session once you return home. Plan to have your session within the first 4 weeks of delivery. We will shoot in a few main areas of the house, typically the nusery, master bedroom, and living room, tidy up a bit but do not stress over it. I will move anything out of the way if needed.
During Your Session Don’t stress. As a mom I know family photography sessions can be a stressful event. What will everyone wear? Will my kids behave? I hope she got just one where we look happy.... My approach for sessions create a stress free event. We will be in the comfort of your home, where your children are most at ease. We will document your family relaxed comfortable and happy togeher. We will take breaks as needed for newborns to nurse, children to snack, or just play and get away from the camera for a few minutes.

From the online gallery you will be able to order prints, products, and packages.
