Anne Geddes said it the best, "I just love babies" and thats how I have always felt. Children have been a part of my life since I was in high school with my first babysitting job. I have always been comfortable with them, even holding my first son was completely comfortable to me as was holding my first camera at 10 years old and convincing 4H to let me study photography in lieu of a farm animal. When I decided to open my studio in 1999, it was the obvious choice to specialize in babies & children. "A Moment in Time" was one of the first professional (non retail) studios in Austin to specifically focus on children and that's what I have continued to do for over 10 years now. I feel so blessed that God has given me this gift and allowed me to capture the beauty of our most precious gifts, our children.  Degrees: Jennifer holds a "Photographic Craftsman" degree from Professional Photographers of America and is an Associate Fellow for Professional Photographers of Texas, Professional Photographers of Austin and the American Society of Photographers which is an invitation only association.

In her Own Words

"I have designed my studio as place I would enjoy visiting, with a photographer I trust to capture these brief moments in my child's life. It is my philosophy that a photo session should be an enjoyable event, not stressful and traumatizing to child and parent alike. As your family grows older, portraits are your main source of documenting the history, personality, and achievements of your family members. Children and families are the heart of my work. I am so honored to capture these relationships and moments for my clients. It brings tears to my eyes to watch a father hold his newborn or a mother reassure her child..these times are what my portraits are all about. I use patience, caring, creativity, and love to create a portrait that you will cherish forever.

Thank you for the opportunity to capture this Moment in Time..."
