11 day old Elliot came into the studio with big brother Sam by his side. Taking photos with your brother can be a little tricky when you’re 18 months old, but Sam was so sweet with Elliot. He would point to Elliot’s nose and give him kisses and cuddles. Elliot experienced most of his newborn session behind closed eyes. But this didn’t stop him from giving us several adorable sleepy smiles.

Can you believe the New Year is less than 2 weeks away?  Although winter is just getting started here, my photographer brain is already planning ahead for spring sessions!  Maybe I’m just feeling inspired by one of my favorite photoshoots from 2019.  Featuring the Chandra-Lee family, who’s been with me since the beginning of Jessica Neumann Photography.  Honestly, these portraits remind me why I started this small business in the first place.

When one of your oldest friends has a baby, how do you find time to catch up? Recently, I had the rare privilege of mixing my personal and professional lives thanks to this handsome guy! On top of photographing newborn Camden, I also got to share the joy of this perfect baby with parents Carly and Conor.

I have the distinct pleasure of photographing some of the best families around Frederick, Maryland. Not only are they up for stepping outside of the studio. But also, they’re engaging and hilarious—both on and off camera. I definitely shared some laughs with the Johnson family this past June, as we caught up on how much had changed over the past five years.

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.
