A PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE DESIGNED FOR YOU

We understand that portraits can feel overwhelming. Coordinating outfits, managing busy schedules, hoping everyone will look at the camera with a genuine smile, and figuring out what to do with the photos after can quickly become a lot to take on. It’s easy to put it off year after year.

But these moments won’t wait. You don’t want to miss your child’s baby leg rolls, their smile with missing teeth, the sparkle in their eyes as they giggle, or the unique dynamics between family members. You want to capture how your family looks and feels right now. These fleeting moments deserve to be preserved beautifully in an experience that becomes cherished art for your home.

That’s why we’ve created a seamless portrait experience designed to make the process both enjoyable and effortless. From your initial inquiry to final installation of your custom artwork, we guide you every step of the way.

Jeannine was awesome to work with! We had a large group for a family portrait and she coordinated everything for us and made it fun and easy! I couldn’t be happier with her work! Now I have our family portrait on my wall for years to come. Thank you Jeannine!!!

We did our family session with Jeannine and she is not only an incredible photographer, but also really good at working with families. She put us all at ease, making the session feel fun and relaxed. She’s really patient with kids and has some sort of magic to truly capture their personalities in a photo-even when you think they’re acting too wild to get a good shot! If you want great family photos, and actually enjoy the session, this is where you need to go.

My branding photos were in need of an update. Jeannine is very professional, personable, fun, and dedicated. She made sure that I looked great and my photos represent me and my brand. I had a great experience and I absolutely love my photos! The Block Portrait Studio is very warm and welcoming!

Jeannine is AMAZING. She is easy-going, friendly, so enjoyable to work with, and I am absolutely blown away by her process, artistry, and professionalism throughout...Her studio space is set up so perfectly, with several backdrop options, furniture props, and a tv monitor for real-time feedback during the session. She was incredibly well prepared and extremely detailed as she moved our 14 musicians into place for our large group photo... [Jeannine] has a depth of experience in all aspects of her job as a photographer, and she is a true professional.

We had an amazing portrait experience at Block Portrait Studios with our two rescue dogs. I did not know how much these photos would mean to me until I saw them. Jeannine captured our dogs and our relationship with them perfectly. I could not be more grateful for these beautiful images and I cannot wait to get the prints on our walls at home.

I have used Block Portrait Studios for both my professional and personal family photos. Jeannine brings the best out of people and is a joy to work with. The studio itself offers a lot of options for backgrounds. I can't recommend them enough!
