MEET JEANNINE

PORTRAIT ARTIST + OWNER

With over 15 years of experience, and as a mom myself, I’ve created a portrait experience designed with the finished artwork in mind from the very beginning. We plan backward from how you want your portraits to live in your home, thoughtfully considering your vision, wardrobe, location, and the images we create so every part of the experience feels intentional.

But this isn’t simply about capturing what your family looks like in this chapter.

I want to capture what it feels like to be your family: the connection, the personalities, the little things that make your relationships uniquely yours.

Together, we’ll create portrait art that tells your family’s story today and becomes part of your legacy for generations to come.

“My passion is creating meaningful portrait art and guiding you through a portrait experience that is personal, enjoyable, & effortless! The biggest compliment is when portrait sessions become one of your child’s favorite family traditions year after year!”

Jeannine is absolutely phenomenal! From the very beginning of the planning process, she brings such intention and creativity that you know you’re in good hands. She doesn’t just take photos—she tells a story and brings your vision to life with a level of excellence that exceeds expectations every time...She makes you feel seen, celebrated, and confident in front of the camera, which makes the whole process feel effortless.

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.
