I loved #5 for the bright eyes and pop of pink
I love these. It was so hard to choose. I had to choose #3 though. Love the expression, the processing. Love it all!
LOVE number nine.. I have a soft spot for three sisters.. I AM one of three sisters
They are all great but I had to go with A(#9 for you comment readers) because if that picture was of MY daughter I would HAVE to have it made into the largest print ‘printerly possible’. That is my favorite pic of J Cooper all time….I think.
Beautiful! How Do You Do it!
I love all of them! : ) I chose #4 because it really captures this family in their natural state. They look like they’re truly being themselves and having lots of fun together.
Wow…such a tough decision, they are all so beautiful! But the choice had to be made…sooo I chose #5. I would have loved a gigantic mounted picture similar to hang in my little girls room.
They are all gorgeous and it was very very hard to choose.
I choose #7 – I can just feel the love in the picture and think it would beautiful as a large print hanging in this family home. They all are lovely – it was a hard choice!
LUV, LUV, LUV this vintage stuff….soooooo hard to choose!
All of your images are so gorgeous. I keep up with a lot of photog blogs but I keep coming back to your images as I learn. Yours look so natural and really capture “family”. Thanks for the inspiration!
J,
Your photos are always so gorgeous – it really is hard to choose. But I think I’m most in love with #5. The sparkle you captured in that sweet Miss’s eyes is just amazing.
#5…I have a soft spot for a cute princess in a tutu. Love how you captured those big blue eyes!! You do amazing work and I wish I lived closer to use your talents.
I’ve been a “stalker” for some time. I absolutely LOVE your photos, you’re an excellent photographer! I, with the help of my 7 year old, voted for #8. I love the color (not to mention that fab sunflare)and I think she loves the outfit, lol. It was a hard choice, they’re all great!
It was so hard to choose just one! You are very talented.
Lovin’s #5! She’s so alive!
I love #2!! The personification of childhood!!
I love #8…something about a little girl twirling in a tutu!!!
love all photos, but love the couch one especially!
SO hard to choose! They are all GREAT! I picked the family with 3 boys b/c I have 3 boys and I just have a soft spot for them.
I have really enjoyed looking at your photography. You do great work! (p.s. I’m here in Lincoln and go to IHCC–I was in youth group with your sister, Kristen who was a year or two older than me. Just thought I’d share my connection with you.) 
So hard to choose, they all have such a wonderful sparkle and personality!
These are all GREAT! So hard to choose but I love the vintage appeal of #6 and that little lovely’s blue eyes are just GORGEOUS!!!
All your work is fantastic! I wished we lived close enough to book our own session.
I can’t wait to see what you have in store for your etsy shop! 
How fun!!! I just opened this and saw our picture! Every image is beautiful, but of course I had to choose ours.
You are a fabulous photographer, Jenn!
They are all lovely, but I just love the gorgeous light in the little tutu girl photo!
I voted for #4. I just love family shots! And I love your couch!
2nd computer, 2nd vote, so as not to be a cheater pants!
i LOVE #3. seriously, i LOVE her. she’s my baby!
i love #2
I just love the darling little ladybug. Her smile just makes you hear her laughter.
I love #8! Nothing like capturing a little girl being a little girl. She is in her own little world in her cute tutu! Love all your work Jenn. Can’t wait to see you this upcoming year!
# 4 is a precious, beautiful family inside and out! This picture captures their grace and loving.
I love #5. Sophie’s beautiful eyes just pop. I love the pink tutu and flower. (Not to mention her parents are friends).
The little lady bug won my vote – pure childhood joy!
#6 is so sweet. i’d vote for my KC grandkids if you photographed them (because, of course, they’d be in your top picks !! hint, hint) ….. for now, though, i’ll go with my unbiased fav.
haha, you are on to me and my cheater-pants ways! i shall have to reform myself.
i voted, but i tell ya girl, it was the most difficult decision of my day…you have beautiful clients and you take the most amazing photos.
Love #8 because what little girl doesn’t love twirling and skipping around in her pink tutu! No mother would ever want to forget that image!
the lil’ bug stole my heart…plus she’s our lil’ dolly! you captured her smile and the sweet innocence of childhood!
Jenn, these are all such WONDERFUL photos that I was torn on where to place my vote even though one of the photos is of my daughters! But, in the end, I shamelessly chose it because I can’t imagine a more perfect, timeless photo of my three girls. We just LOVE it!
#9…LOVE the girls in brown on the suitcases! What beautiful sisters!
They’re all great pics, but our little Ladybug is, of course, my fav!!!
# 9 – Love this picture of the three girls–they look so beautiful!!!
Those are all fabulous shots! Their eyes – how do you capture their eyes that way? I could hear the ladybug laughing all the way here in Colorado. =) Wonderful pictures, I can only imagine how hard it was for you to narrow it down to only 9.
#2 – Cute as a LadyBug.
#9! The girls are darling and the suitcases are the perfect touch!
love love #6-YOUR WORK IS AMAZING AND YOU ARE TALENTED-I ENVY YOUR SKILLS AND ADMIRE YOUR ABILITY TO BALANCE EVERYTHING
#3 is great. With the black & white you are less distracted by color and the features are enhanced
I love how the nature background in number 9 emphasizes the “big world” while the three smiling girls say, “So what if we are small and the world is big… We got each other!”
I voted for number 8. I love the vibrant colors, how “candid” it looks, and it just seems so innocent and sweet!
It was hard to choose because I love them all! The lighting in #5 is just fabulous though, so I went with that one. You have an amazing talent!
I voted for #9. They are all wonderful, but there is just something about the bond of sisters, the location and the props!!! WOW! What a wonderful gift for their parents!
I voted for #5, not just because it is my daughter but because the picture is beautiful !
All the pictures are exceptional, but #5 is really the best one
#5! You did such a great job of capturing her eyes…gorgeous!
Wow! All of these are fabulous! I voted #6… I love the vintage feel (I’m a sucker for vintage) and her adorable smile!
This precious little girl could melt even the coldest of hearts.
The little girl in # 5 is absolutely adorable, the light in her eyes is a glimpse of innocence that I love!
#5. The pink pops, as others have said, and I’m afraid of Sebastien, who might go berserk if his baby doesn’t win. Just kidding. Well, sorta.
I have to say #9 is my favorite. I might be a little prejudice though since I am their great-aunt!
#9 is my fave. Could not be cuter!
#9…because I love looking at this picture and wondering when it was and what the story might be with the suitcases…and where they might be going. They could be back in the early 1900’s waiting for a train…or praire girls…traveling by covered wagon with their family…I just love this look. Three sisters. Plus these are my neices…and they are gorgeous inside and out! I know each one of their personalities… and love how it shines throughin your photos. I have to say…you have some gorgeous pictures…what a difficult choice! If I didn’t have a biased opinion I would really have a hard time choosing!! Thanks for sharing!!
#9 My cousins. Grace, Olivia, and Caroline!
So hard to choose! I have enjoyed seeing your work and the beautiful families you work with!
Black and whites are classic whatever the pose. And her facial expression is priceless. She’s adorable.
Well I just VOTED! YAY! What a fun contest!! I have been out of the loop for about three weeks now and am trying to get caught back up! I hope you and yours are doing well!!
And your Etsy shop? OH MY! I can’t wait to see what you stock it with!!
Happy Thursday!
I have to go with #9 It is a great picture of my 3 Grand daughters.
oops… I wrote my comment on the wrong post…..I think the arctic temps have caused my mind to FREEZE!!!!…see post below
I voted for number 8…I love how whimsical it is.
I love number nine!!
I like the juxtaposition of the sofa outdoors and it is always nice to see beautiful pictures of families enjoying each other.
#5 duhhhhh! Do I really need to give an explanation?? She is a sweetie pie!!!
I think #6 is adorable! They are all beautiful pictures, love your work!
I’m voting for number 2. She is priceless.
Gotta vote for my lil’ girl in the ladybug outfit! So bummed I missed this photo shoot but hoping the next one we have I will be there!
I had to choose #5. Something about that picture screams strawberries and whip cream. It’s a perfect picture, as sweet as the dessert.
#4….you take gorgeous pics and this family is adorable!
Love #4!
Chose #9 because of the overall photograph. The way you caught the bonding of sisters and the overall photo…creativity etc. It’s a beautiful timeless photo.
