Jennifer Jacobson Photography and How To Photograph Your Life Giveaway

Recently I had the pleasure of having Jennifer Jacobson, a lifestyle photographer take my head shot. She is a doll and was so patient with me. I really don't like having my picture taken and always feel awkward. Jenn quickly calmed my nerves and made me feel comfortable. And I was thrilled with the final shots. Here is a sampling of her beautiful portfolio. As you can see, she really has a way of capturing amazing color, human emotion and pictures that are truly worth a thousand words.
