Jennifer Schattle Photography bio picture
  • Welcome to my blog!

    Hi! I'm Jennifer Schattle and I'm a portrait photographer based in Austin, Texas.

    At every single portrait session I photograph, I strive to capture more than just how you look. My goal is to tell a story ... the story of you. Who you are today, right now, in this moment. Silly three year olds are allowed (and encouraged!) to be silly. Teenagers are never asked to say cheese. Don’t want to pose in front of the fireplace? Good, because I wasn’t planning on asking you to. Children and family portraiture has come a long way in the last few years and there’s nobody more excited about it than me. Whether you’re just starting your family, up to your ears in peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or sending your teenager off to college soon ... I’m here to help capture the moments you’ll be looking back on for a lifetime.

    So relax, ditch the matching outfits, be yourselves and let’s have a blast!

Bob + Tricia + Chase + Avery

Bob and Tricia recently joined me on a family session one Sunday morning with their precious kiddos ~ Chase and Avery! It’s been awhile since I’ve seen them all and I was so excited to spend time with them once again!

Here are my favorites.

Oh. My. Goodness!!!

I’m pretty sure Chase is going to break a few hearts some day.

How adorable is Miss Avery?!?! VERY!!!

Bob and Tricia, thanks for inviting me to hang out with your wonderful family!

Jonah + Catherine + Wyatt + Paisley

Jonah and Catherine are a wonderful mom and dad to Wyatt and Paisley ~ and I’m so happy to have had the chance to photograph their darling family again! The kiddos have grown so much since I last saw them.

Here are my favorites.

Thanks Jonah for helping me get the kiddos to smile!

LOVE.

Paisley adores her big brother.

Miss Paisley … you are too precious!

I love chatting with Wyatt … and he’s quite the photography assistant!

Jonah and Catherine … thanks for sharing a wonderful evening with me!

James + Tara + Kyle + Courtney

Just days prior to their session, Courtney turned one … so I ordered up the most perfect December weather and enjoyed a fun Saturday morning celebrating with James and Tara’s sweet family!

Here are my favorites.

Courtney loves to cuddle.

Kyle ran off to play on his John Deere, so Courtney took a few photos with mom and dad!

Too cute.

See … Kyle was having fun too!

Yes Miss Courtney … you are fabulous!

Now … for a lil’ cupcake smash! Hmmm … what do we have here?!?

When we took out the one, that didn’t quite set well with the birthday girl.

Oh! You CAN eat this thing … and it’s delish!

What?!? You are going to take my cupcake away?!? But I’m not done!!!

Never get between a girl and her chocolate!

Seriously … what just happened?!?

James and Tara. I had so much fun!! Thanks for sharing your amazing kiddos with me!!

Carter + Sandy + Case

Carter and Sandy recently met me out for an evening session with their son Case. What a sweet little family they are ~ I really enjoyed my visit with them!

Here are my favorites.

So sweet.

Love that we were able to use a wagon that belonged to Case’s grandmother!

Carter and Sandy, thanks for letting me photograph Case! He’s super cute!!

17 days new … meet Gavin Gabriel

Eric and Nikki have a precious baby boy ~ Gavin Gabriel. Weighing just a little over eight pounds, Gavin was 17 days new when I came over to photograph him. What a sweet little guy!

Here are my favorites.

And a few shots of the gorgeous nursery!

Sophie and Abby were the first babies in the family and I LOVE that Eric and Nikki decorated Gavin’s room with dachshunds!

Eric and Nikki, thanks for inviting me into your beautiful home to photograph Gavin! He’s perfect!
