We compared several photographers to take our family portrait and Jennifer was far and away the most professional we talked to. She gave us a very good orientation at her studio and we scheduled the shoot. We were on a very tight time frame and really only had one possible date to make it work. We had a small break in the cold December weather on the day and Jennifer worked efficiently, taking pictures of the whole family and each of our kids family. She kept young kids smiling but also knew when they were at their limit. The shoot finished in fine order and we met a few weeks later to select photos. Wow! We were so pleased and doubly pleased when the final pictures arrived. This was a very important commemoration for the family and Jennifer captured it perfectly.
Jennifer is amazing. This was our third time working with her, since 2017, and I've never been disappointed. We've had newborn photos twice, and family pictures once. The images are always beautiful. Beyond that, she is friendly, kind, and an expert! She is magical with babies and small children. Her studio space is calm and comforting, the whole thing is a wonderful experience! I have even picked up some baby-calming tips from her!

Thank you so much! It’s always a joy capturing your family’s milestones. I’m thrilled you love your newborn and family portraits from my Frederick, MD studio. Creating timeless, heirloom-quality images for newborns and their families is why I love being a Frederick newborn photographer!
Jennifer Riley was very professional and made quick work of my headshot sitting. I was happy with the photos immediately and was only there for about 15 minutes, which was very helpful given my busy schedule. The review process was seamless, and the final product was outstanding. If you are looking for professional headshots, Jennifer Riley is the photographer for you!

Jennifer took our wedding photos. She made the experience enjoyable on a cold and windy day. The pictures and framed prints came out beautifully!

Jennifer took the most amazing photos for our Santa mini session! Even though my youngest was scared, they were pros and captured very cute moments. The studio was decorated perfectly and we are so happy with our pictures.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so happy we were able to capture sweet moments, even when Santa felt a little overwhelming! I loved having your family in the studio and I’m thrilled you love your photos.
Jennifer Riley has become more than just a photographer - she has been there for milestones as we grow our family, and works magic with our toddler and newborn. She celebrates our family’s wins with us, and is always flexible and available for whatever vision we have. More than just how comfortable she makes her clients, she is truly talented at delivering heirloom quality pieces that you will want to pass down to your kids. I am forever in awe of the photos she takes of my family every year, and the albums and artwork she puts together are stunning. I cannot recommend her highly enough - if you’re looking for a family photographer, Jennifer is the best there is.

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! It means the world to me to be part of your family’s journey and to help capture the special moments as your family grows. Watching your boys grow and being trusted to preserve those memories through photographs and albums is truly an honor. I'm so grateful for your continued support and trust, and I can’t wait to create more beautiful portraits with you all in the years to come!
working with Jennifer Riley Photography was such a wonderful experience for our newborn photography. She took such great care with our baby girl, took her time and was very thorough with all of her set choices and outfits. I cannot wait to work with her again!
My daughter’s senior portrait experience was phenomenal. Jenny made time to meet with us to make a plan our session. Jenny was patient and captured my daughter’s personality in each of the images. The personalized flower crown was a nice touch as well.
What a WONDERFUL experience! The studio is so easy to get to and the atmosphere is incredibly relaxing. As a second time Mom, I could have easily fallen asleep while Jennifer did her thing.
Jennifer is great! She is so super nice and sweet, she has great customer service, funny while being professional, and most importantly she certainly knows how to handle your newborn! I loved that she gave tips and tricks to make the newborn session go *almost* flawlessly. Her assistant was very professional and nice as well!
My experience was superb, and I will definitely go here again if given the chance. Highly recommend!
