Baby K's Newborn Session, Tampa FL
I can't get enough of this newborn session! They are the cutest little family, and oh so sweet. I've photographed mama's sister a few times, so I was pretty excited to meet them, and they did not disappoint. Obviously. :) <3
Baby Garrett's Newborn Session, Tampa FL
I really love photographing newborns you guys. Seriously....give me alllll the sweet squishy newborns.
The H Family in Downtown Tampa!
I double dog dare you to look through these family photographs without a big ol' smile on your face. You can't do it! Because these guys are just too adorable! I knew this would be a great session before I even arrived. Mom didn't want anything super posy. She just wanted to have some fun with her family and see what we could get. I couldn't have loved it more. I'd say it doesn't get any cuter than this, but they're expecting another baby in a few weeks, so.... <3 <3 <3
The Kiddos Get A Trampoline
You guys turned FIVE this month, and MiMi and PaPa made your birthday extra special by getting you this trampoline. I always wanted one like this when I was a kid! It takes up a lot of space in our tiny back yard, but I don't even care. So. Much. Fun!
Baby Lucy Is One! {St petersburg photographer}
This cutie pie was one of my "baby plan" babies, so I got to photograph her a few times this past year...and oh. my. goodness. Is she not a doll?? This family is about as sweet as they come, and they have an amazing dog named Roy (also my hubby's name), so I feel like we were just meant to be together <3
The S Family! (Tampa Photographer}
This beautiful family wanted me to come photograph them around their South Tampa neighborhood before they packed up all of their belongings and moved out of state. I'm so very glad I got to spend some time with them before they left! Little M is the cutest (and has the very best hair!), and as it turns out, she'll smile anytime you ask her to in exchange for a swedish fish...
The Kielichs Do Hurricane Irma...
There aren't really any words to describe the emotional roller coaster that has been this past week. I was supposed to be on a vacation with my husband. We've been through a decent amount of bullshit recently, so we planned and booked a little getaway....something we haven't done since the kids were born. And then, Irma happened. We obviously weren't leaving our children behind with a category 5 hurricane coming right at us, so we cancelled our trip and started prepping for the worst. I've lived in Florida for 32 years and I've been through my fair share of hurricanes. But Irma....Irma was a whole different bitch entirely. It's hard to describe how it feels to be a mother, a homeowner, a pet owner in a situation like that. When emergency supplies like gas, water, food, plywood, etc are literally GONE by Wednesday for a Sunday evening storm, and for a number of reasons, escaping by car becomes more and more impossible with each passing minute. When you refresh your phone every few minutes for SIX DAYS STRAIGHT tracking a catastrophic storm that may or may not be heading right for you. It was going east, it was going west, it was going straight up the middle of the state, it was going to the Carolinas....it changed daily. It was enough to make you mad. We knew everything and we knew nothing at all. And then, it really was coming straight for us. Sooo, we hunkered down. We're fortunate enough to not live in an evacuation zone, so all of our Zone A evacuated family came over, and damn it, we made the most of it! The whole experience was just awful (the hurricane part, not the being together part), but we made it through and we're sooooo glad it's over.
A couple of things I learned while dealing with this nonsense...
1. I'm a legit stress cleaner. I literally have blisters from all the sweeping...
2. I'm a legit stress eater. Seriously, give me all the hurricane snacks.
3. Shooting in (only) artificial light is the bane of my existence.
3. My family pretty much rules.
4. My community pretty much rules. Watching everyone come together, and work together, in our time of need has truly restored my faith in humanity.
We got very, very lucky in the 11th hour. The storm shifted east at the last minute and our community was largely spared with regard to major damage. Just some power outages, some downed trees/street signs, and a few neighbors with minor water and roof damage. I know there are other communities that didn't fare so well and my heart goes out to them. I will think of some way to help once I can get my scattered brain back in order.
Claire and Tyler Are Getting Married! {Tampa Wedding photographer}
Claire and Tyler are getting hitched! These two happen to be dear friends of mine, and I'm so excited to be a part of their big day this Spring! It rained on us basically the entire time we shot these, but when you're in town for one night only, you shoot through it. Am I right?? Congrats Claire and Tyler :)
2017 Holiday Mini Sessions!
My 2017 Holiday Mini Sessions are officially up for grabs! These always sell out quickly (within a few days), so if you have your heart set on a mini session this year, book sooner rather than later!
Minis will take place October 15 - 21, and there are two package options to choose from (see below). The first round of minis will take place in South Tampa, in a gorgeous natural light studio that I've rented for the day. If you're wanting to do something a little different this year (or maybe you just want to beat the heat!), these should be pretty amazing! There's a full sized bed, a little settee, and lots of gorgeous natural light. I can't wait! The rest of the week's minis will take place outdoors at the Redington Beach Long Pier and Philippe Park. There will be two time slots available each of those nights.
In order to book your mini session, you'll need to head on over to the Mini Session Shop I've set up (link below), choose your time slot, add it to your shopping cart and checkout. If you would like to do the 10 image package, you'll need to add the "Upgrade" option to your cart as well. It is the first item listed on the main shop page. This should all be relatively straight forward, but this is the first year I'm using this program for bookings, so if there are any issues at all, just shoot me an email (jen@jenniferkielich.com).
I'm SO excited to work with everyone this fall! It should be an awesome season! See you in a couple of months!

Click Away 2016 - The C Family
It was loud and chaotic, and it rained the entire time, but this family was amazing. Thanks to everyone who came out for my class in Seattle!
