Family Photo Testimonials:

Danville, CA Family Photography Client:

“Jennifer Chaney is a gift! She has such a warm personality and her photographs not only show raw emotion but evoke it. I have 3 young children and I wanted to capture this moment in time because it felt like time was flying by and in the craziness of daily life I’d forget just how precious this stage of life is. On the day of the shoot I couldn’t imagine she got any really good shots because the kids weren’t exactly all cooperative at the same time but she remained calm and somehow worked her magic to produce literally hundreds of beautiful photos! Once it was time to review them it took us several hours because rejecting any photo was next to impossible! Do yourself a favor and book with Jennifer. We are so happy we did!

Alamo, CA Newborn Photography Client:

“Jennifer is the most amazing photographer! I fell in love with her work when I saw it displayed at The Dailey Method in Danville just before my third child was about to be born… Jennifer came to our home and was an absolute joy to work with. As you can imagine, having two high-energy boys and an 8-day old newborn, I wasn’t sure how we would all handle a few hours of having our pictures taken. Jennifer made it seamless and the time went by so quickly. I loved how we weren’t sitting around posing and trying to make ourselves look perfect. Instead, Jennifer took the boys outside and just played with them. They were laughing and giggling and when it was time for Jennifer to leave they didn’t want her to go (me either)! … The best part of the whole experience was the amazing photographs. Because Jennifer’s work is candid and natural, I had no idea how many wonderful pictures she had taken. She was able to capture the beauty and innocence of our newborn and the energy and playfulness of our boys. I love how each photograph shows my kids true personality. I also used Jennifer to put together my baby announcement/Christmas card. I cannot tell you how many compliments I received!”

Lafayette, CA Baby and Family Photography Client:

“She is amazing! Not only are her pictures amazing, one look at her website will show you that her personality is perfectly suited for what she does. She is a mom with young children and she totally gets young children. She seems to know exactly how to interact with them to get great shots. She is also great with reluctant fathers. I’ve had my kids pictures taken by other photographers and they were fine but I LOVE every single picture that Jennifer has ever taken of my kids. I have used to her to document a number of important events in the life of my family and have always been delighted.”

Diablo, CA Family Photography Client:

“When I look at these images now I think and feel life, light, love, happiness and family. Jennifer captured us on an regular, average day and made me realize that living with these beautiful healthy girls and a wonderful husband is ANYTHING but regular and average….it is simply beautiful.”

Walnut Creek, Children Photography Client:

“Jennifer is wonderful! She is professional and personable at the same time. I loved the way she interacted with my boys and having pictures taken at our home was perfect! I have used a couple of other photographers and have been disappointed in one way or another. Jennifer did not disappoint! Her candid photos really were able to show the true personalities of everyone in the family. She was a great help in selecting our photos from the proofs and even brought cookies! She was flexible in making some changes to our package and allowed me to post some pics on facebook! Wonderful presentation when we received our final package. She is a great person and I definitely recommend her as a photographer.”
