Shannon and Rob
This was my first trip to Shenandoah National Park and it was the perfect way to start out the fall engagement season! The mountain overlooks are incredible and 100% worth taking the trip up there if you have never been. The overlooks in the park have views that you could sit and stare at all day if you had the time.
Shannon and Rob wanted to do their session here and of course i was totally down for new experiences! Plus, this was on my bucket list of placed to shoot and it didn’t disappoint! The fact that they were so comfortable in front of the camera and the backdrop there wasn’t a bad picture, it was almost impossible! I cant’ wait for my next opportunity to come back up and enjoy the beauty! This session was the perfect warm up for their wedding at Dulaney’s Overlook next year! I am so excited to see them again!!
In the meantime, follow me for more blog posts and see what i have been up to this fall!

Sarah and Grady
With fall approaching quickly, the vibes from Sarah and Grady’s engagement shoot are making me so happy! Sarah put so much thought into their outfits for their shoot at her family’s farm in Waldorf, and it shows! Fall engagements are my JAM!
I met up with Sarah, Grady and my friend Casey! Casey will be the oh-so-lucky gal that gets to shoot these love birds’ wedding next October! (Go check her out she is BOMB!) She drove all the way up here from Richmond to meet, greet and shoot along side of me! So much fun!
We drove back onto Sarah’s family’s farm, chatted in the car about our love of our babies (our dogs lol!), about what they do for a living and about how huge the farm is! Miles of corn fields, woods and a pond is literally perfect for any outdoorsy type… hence why they are having their session here! They spend so much time here together with their 2 dogs. They fish, hunt and so much more!
I am just drooling over how beautiful Sarah looks and how much Grady adores her. I can’t wait to see pictured from your wedding next year! You guys are going to be the most beautiful couple!

Megan and Billy
I had such an amazing time with Megan and Billy during their engagement session in Golden Beach! Not many people get to say they live within a golf cart rides distance from a river side beach, but they can! I couldn’t imagine being able to spend summer days, evenings, and mornings walking down the beach or sitting in the pier! How relaxing!
Megan and Billy are one of my many JKP 2021 couples! Their story started at this very beach who is where place they spend their time. There is so much significance on the decision to do their shoot here and here is why. Billy proposed right here at this very spot!
After meeting with Megan for our first consultation meeting, i knew immediately we had so much in common and that we were PERFECT for each other! From our love of hunting, dogs, wine and just being plain goofy, we were practically already BFFs! Later that night, she dropped the news that her and Billy wanted me to be their photographer and let me tell you, I was pumped!
Hanging out with these two for their session was nothing less than amazing.
I can’t wait to see you both say “I Do” next October!
Warm wishes,
Jenna Keys♥

Kristina and Al
It’s always nerve wracking seeing rain in the forecast the day of any session, especially when it’s looking a little stormy an hour before a session! Kristina was such a sweetheart and put all her trust in me to make the magic happen for her and Al. So of course, before the session I ran to Target and got a few clear umbrellas “just in case”.
When we showed up, the skies were so so dark but thank goodness no rain! I thought we were good. We walked back into the fields and started shooting and it was going amazing! The cloudy sky made the perfect lighting! About 20 minutes into the session, it starts raining and (unbelievably) HAILING! And, naturally, guess where i left the umbrellas…? IN THE CAR! So here i am sprinting back to the car to get the umbrellas and by the time i get there, the rain stops! It was nuts! But thank goodness it stopped because the magic was unreal!
These two lovebirds met about a year and a half ago at the hospital where Kristina works. Al came in with a critical patient and it was love at first sight! They have such a connection that glows and radiates when they are together which makes my job so much easier! they are so in love and they are both beautiful inside and out!
Their session was nothing short of amazing! Chapel Point State Park is one of my most favorite locations for sessions and i was so happy Kristina and Al drove down to Charles County for their session. I come here any chance i get with clients and with my doggo’s. They absolutely were rockstars, sticking it out through the rain, cold, and wind on the beach! They learned so quickly and had a blast doing it! When it comes to wedding day, they are going to be ready 100%.
I am SO excited for their beach themed wedding this October and i’m so blessed that they chose me to capture their special day for them! I can’t wait!
Much Love,

Chris and Mary Beth
Chris and Mary Beth are celebrating their engagement by enjoying the beautiful sunset and the views at Jefferson Patterson Park! After a little research, I knew this would be the perfect place for their session!
When we met up for our meet and greet consultation just last month at Starbucks, I couldn’t help but notice how much love these two truly have for each other! Chris seriously wants and does the utmost for Mary Beth. (and i mean do you blame him!? She is gorg!) I am so excited for their backyard country wedding this September!
Chris proposed to Mary Beth surrounded by their families while on a vacation in Massanutten! Mary Beth was shocked when Chris got down on one knee and popped the question! How awesome is that!? Goals! Proposal on a mountain, with your family, with an amazing view and an amazing ring! Simply. Perfect!
Chris and Mary Beth’s session was like a dream! The views and sunset at Jefferson Patterson Park was just like that jackpot i was talking about earlier! We had so much fun walking around, catching up and learning all the things that will make their wedding day portraits 100X less awkward and more enjoyable! They rocked all the poses and looked AMAZING doing them! I think its safe to say their nerves quickly left and started having fun!
I am so thankful for these two and am truly blessed to have people like this come into my life!
Much Love,
