About Jennifer Bahn Photography

Welcome! I am so glad that you have found your way to my blog! When my daughter was born in 2007, my passion took over. She is my true joy, and I found myself wanting to capture every moment of her life. I began to read and learn everything that I could about photography and truly became consumed with the art.

What began as a hobby has blossomed into something better than I could have ever imagined and has led me here. I adore working with babies and children of all ages. I enjoy photographing all of the special moments in your life...from the anticipation of the arrival of your little one, those sweet, soft, tiny little newborns, the curiosity and excitement of toddlers, the bond of your family, or your child getting ready for their senior year of high school. They are all such special times in your life, and I am blessed I have the opportunity to be a part of them. I am also an elementary school teacher, which I feel really helps me to connect with your child, make them comfortable, enjoy their time with me, since I am used to working with kids everyday!! We will laugh, smile, play and HAVE FUN! I look forward to working with you and your family!

Oh how time flies! I can’t believe it has been a year since I was taking this little beauty’s newborn photos!  Her 6 month photos were also my last session, just 4 days, before my own little one was born.  Now, here she is, a beautiful one year old!  Her little personality had me cracking up through much of this session.  I just adore so many of our photos from today!  I can’t wait to finish up her whole gallery ! Great to see you again C family! ENJOY your beautiful girl!

Chubba Love!

April 22nd, 2012

Oh my sweet sweet little love! There isn’t much I love more than a chubby chubby baby, and my little sweetie is just that!  I took her over to my studio this morning for a little 6 1/2 month photo shoot.  Let’s just say, it’s official and I’m two for two on photographer’s child syndrome.  She was not having it.  She loved her being naked, but the second I put clothes on her, she was not a happy camper.  So…we cut it short, and called it a day.  I just LOVE capturing the sweet, chubbiness of this stage though, before they start moving and it all goes away, so I’m glad I got these!  It was a bit too chilly outside anyway today, so we’ll try again another day.  For now, my sweet chubba love :)

Mommy and Me Mini-Sessions

March 8th, 2012

I am SO excited for these sessions!  The bond between a mother and her child or children  is one of the most special in the world.  If you’re anything like me, you’re always the one behind the camera in family photos, and rarely ever in them.  Even when we have our family’s photos professionally taken, I’m always too busy worrying about everyone else, that I don’t really relax and definitely don’t want to be the focus of any photos and we most often just focus on the kids.  I’ve recently been reminded in many ways, that life’s moments are precious.  I want to be in more photos with my children, and I would love for those photos to capture us being us.  That is where my idea for Mommy and Me Mini-Sessions came about…and what more perfect timing to celebrate moms, than right around Mother’s Day.  Give yourself a Mother’s Day gift that will keep on giving to you years down the road.  No matter where in life you are, or your children are…I’m sure it’s a perfect time capture moments.  Another thought is as much as I’d love photos like this with my own children, I’d love some with my own mom just as much.

So it doesn’t matter if you’re a mom and your littles are young or old, or if you’re a mom, and you want to schedule this session for you and your own mom…we will make this session work for you.  I’m hoping to time this session with our beautiful crabapple tree blossoms, but regardless, it will be gorgeous.  Exact location is yet to be determined, but it will be near the Chaska/Jordan area.  If the weather doesn’t work out, sessions will be held in my GORGEOUS new studio space in downtown Chaska!

Get creative…like I said, I really want this session to be about you and your kids.  I’m thinking if it were me, I might bring a blanket and some of my girl’s favorite books, and capture our snuggles and stories.  Maybe you want to stop and grab some ice-treats, or bring a special game or toy you love to play together…maybe it means taking a little walk together, or just hanging out being YOU.  That is what this is all about, and what I really hope to capture for you.

Choose between a basic, digital package..or add a few more photos and either a set of 3 adorable mini-accordian albums OR a beautiful custom designed 12×12 storyboard mounted on styrene.  These look beautiful framed, or just placed on an easel or a shelf.  Either way, hopefully you will find a package that fits your needs.  Sessions will be held from 9-12 and 1-4 on the half hour.  If you have questions, please let me know.  Otherwise, email me to schedule your session today!  I have a feeling this will fill up rather quickly.  Session fee is due at the time of booking.

Happy Mother’s Day to you!  (Just a little early…but shouldn’t it be Happy Mother’s Day every day?? :)

I’ll leave you with a few of my favorite photos I’ve taken over the last few months of mama’s and their kids…these are always some of my favorite session photos!

This is a bit larger than my normal blog..but I just loved this session!  This girl rocked it in front of the camera, we had awesome locations,  beautiful light, a perfect breeze, and her outfits were stellar!  I just couldn’t narrow down favorites!
