About Jennifer Kreager

Hi, I’m a Certified Professional Birth & Family Photographer serving Poplar Bluff, MO and surround areas including Cape Girardeau & Jonesboro Arkansas.

I am impassioned by the love between a mother and child & the beauty that unfolds in the exciting moments surrounding birth. I have experienced first hand what it’s like for the normal strains of labor to completely wipe your memory of all but a few fleeting moments. And it’s my mission that, as a new mama, you fully remember your own story of power, strength, & grit! -Jen

 
 

Create Your Legacy

Birth Storytelling strengthens your family bond, helps heal postpartum depression, & creates a legacy for your child. Birth Photography allows you to witness the in-between moments that you would have otherwise missed and allows your sweet child to see for themselves the tremendous love they were ushered in to; a love that was long before them and a love that, because of you, will long outlast them.

 
 

Preserve Those Quiet Moments

Those tiny hands and feet will be up and off to college before you know it. Help combat the memory loss of the “babymoon blur” with a calm, relaxed in-hospital Fresh 48 session, that lets you grab a nap first, freshen up, and go at your and baby’s pace.

 
 

Document Your Newborn’s Story

The current visitor restrictions in some hospitals make it difficult to document your baby’s hospital journey. But that doesn’t mean you can’t still have beautiful newborn pictures! Choose to have your baby’s first days documented in the comfort of your own home. Remember just how tiny your little one used to be with a snuggly relaxed in-home Newborn session that documents your baby (and the rest of the family!) in their very first home.

Plan Your Session

To provide exceptional service to each client, I offer a limited number of sessions each month (and only 2-3 Births.) I’m often booked 4–8 months in advance, but will do my best to work with you to accommodate immediate needs.

Curious to find out more? I would love to treat you to some Fox Trot Coffee & chat about the details of your story.

 
 
Jen goes above and beyond for her clients. She delivers STUNNING images from your birth and she becomes a friend. She is so passionate about what she does and it shows in her work. I couldn’t recommend her enough. If you’re even considering birth photography, meet with her and you’ll be a believer that it is a MUST to have.
