Jennifer hughes photography

Hello!

I’m so glad you’re here and I look forward to meeting you. I’m Jennifer Hughes, a family photographer in Alexandria, Virginia. My desire is to capture your trueness whether through family, maternity, seniors, couples, or newborn sessions.

I would love to capture your story

and tell it in images instead of words

Get to Know Me

I am a boy mom first and foremost. I love being outdoors, reading a good book, walking our dog, watching kid sports, listening to music, and I’m a lifelong learner and beginner in all sorts of things. I have a desire for deep connection with others and I love capturing that connection in images.


As a child of the 80's, we had these 35mm disposable cameras that took about 24 photos and required being sent off to get the photos developed. Photography sure has changed over the years! Looking back, what I loved most was watching faces light up as they looked at a moment in time that I captured for them. The joy on their face or the out-loud laughter that ensued as they recalled that memory made me want to capture more, and more, and more. Today, this still holds true. I love the feeling of capturing a moment in time that will forever bring a smile or warm memory. This is why I love being a photographer!

I am based in Alexandria, VA, but I love to travel so don’t be afraid to reach out.

WHAT’S IN MY BAG:

  • Canon R5
  • Canon 28-70mm f2.0
  • Canon 50mm f1.4
  • Canon 70-200mm f4.0

"Jennifer has done a family photo shoot for us for the past couple of years. Jennifer’s approach of blending in with our family and capturing not just staged pictures, but many candid ones is exactly what I love. She always seems to capture the personalities of each of us. Jennifer was extremely easy to work with and very responsive when setting up the shoot, the day of, and when delivering pictures. I couldn’t recommend Jennifer more and look forward to many more photo sessions for years to come."

"Jennifer perfectly captured my family - she got their nice smiles, their silly ones, and even the real ones. I cherish these pictures."

“Jennifer was easy to work with and made us feel extremely comfortable - almost as if the camera was not there. She gave posing recommendations that seemed natural and conversational. Her photos came out beyond expectations to the point we printed out a bunch for our house. We will certainly be using Jennifer for family photos again. It was a pleasure to work with her and have her capture these moments of joy."
