A PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE DESIGNED FOR YOU

You want to remember your children as they are today.

The baby leg rolls. The gap-tooth smiles. The sparkle in their eyes.

You want portraits that celebrate the way your family feels together, but without the stress of planning every detail, coordinating outfits, and hoping the kids will cooperate.

That’s why we’ve created a seamless portrait experience that’s both enjoyable and effortless.

From your initial inquiry to your final artwork installation, we guide you through every step.

Planning. Wardrobe styling for everyone. Natural posing.

We get to know your family and what matters most: how you connect, how you love, and how your children feel seen.

And when your session is complete, we turn these portraits into artwork, daily love notes on your walls, that tell your family’s story.

MEET JEANNINE

PORTRAIT ARTIST + OWNER

I’m so glad you’re here!

I know you want to hold onto these years. The joy, the connection, the way your family feels right now. 

As a mom, I understand how quickly these years fly by. As a portrait artist, I’m here to make this experience feel natural, relaxed, and genuinely enjoyable for your whole family. 

I care just as much about the experience as the portraits themselves. I want your kids to run into the studio excited, to feel seen and celebrated…I want your family filling the space with laughter and connection. I want you all to feel grateful you took the time to slow down and enjoy this chapter.

My goal is simple: to guide you through a portrait experience that turns your family’s connection into artwork that becomes a favorite part of your home and a piece of your family’s story you’ll treasure every time you see it.

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!
