For Henry’s big day, he got to take over the JNP Studio—both inside and out.  Although his official first birthday fell last March, we waited for the perfect spring day to schedule his photoshoot.  (Fortunately, that didn’t take too long.)  On April 28th, we had sunny, warm weather; just right for a Cake Smash and cleanup.

I know what you’re thinking—Jessica Neumann Photography does headshots?!  While it’s not what people first think of when they picture JNP, it’s actually one of my favorite services to provide.  Especially when I get to work with clients like this local professional. Normally, I have the honor of photographing the entire family.  But when Mom asked me to take some unique headshots, I immediately jumped at the chance to do something different.

With Thanksgiving just around the corner—and holiday preparations well underway—I wanted to take the time to honor the true meaning of this celebration. To me, that’s simply saying “Thank You!” Thank you to all of the friends, family, clients, and community members who have helped to make 2019 such an amazing year.

Believe it or not, Jaxon was only 13 days old when he first came to the JNP Studio! The Baker family was looking for a newborn photographer close to their Frederick home and, luckily, they chose me. I was happy to welcome the trio this past August for what turned out to be an extraordinary experience.

Even at 10 months old, Gemma packs a lot of personality! When she came to the JNP Studio with her mom this past March, I instantly knew it was going to be a great session.  Without any encouragement from the photographer, Gemma was pointing those toes, assuming her favorite straddle position, and batting those big brown eyes.
