Meet baby Grace! She’s brand spankin new!!! She’s the ittty bitty of one of my previous wedding clients. It’s insane to think that a few years ago I photographed one of the biggest days of their life and fast forward and now I’m photographing one of the biggest days of their life AGAIN! AND…..I got…
I thought about it the whole way there…..trying to imagine what it might feel like. Thinking in my mind how my Mom had me when she was barely 16 and that (lets face it) I was an accident—or in other terms, an unplanned pregnancy, a surprise of sorts. THEN on the other end of the pregnancy spectrum,…

[...] the reception subscribe contact May 16 2012 surrogacy: jack has arrived!!! | jen mcken, photographyPosted in Babies & Bellies~Pivotal Moments Quite frankly….I’m speechless! I had all these things I wanted to say about how amazing today was…..it was a LONG day…but AMAZING….and I’m just overwhelmed with today’s events! I wanted to share a few with you today because TRUST ME, this isn’t ALL of them but I know that some of you have been faithfully following the surrogacy journey I have been covering and are excited for an update! For those of you who may be reading about this for the first time, visit this blog post for more information: Surrogacy: the journey. [...]
i’m in tears! i love every time you post something about this family. we struggled for years to get pregnant (we were only able to with the help of an anonymous donor), and through a turn of events i now “specialize” in birth photography. i’ve recently been toying with the idea of volunteering to be a surrogate/gestational carrier myself. I feel like I can relate to each part of the “triangle” — the parents who couldn’t conceive, (to an extent) the selfless woman carrying their baby, and the lucky observer of such a miracle.
Anyway, I LOVE this! Thanks to everyone involved for sharing. So inspiring! Best wishes to them all 
Jen, I think this is my favorite post of yours (although, they’re all wonderful). What an incredibly beautiful,extraordinary thing for everyone involved. Thank you and them for sharing, I look forward to seeing more.
Jen,
I can’t tell you what emotions this story and images brought out in me. It took me twelve very long years of a journey through my own infertility nightmare before I was able to get pregnant and stay pregnant. We did not use a surrogate but we did use a donor to have our three miracle babies. I am thankful for those who selflessly give up time in their lives so that families such as the one in this story are able to have the one thing that they desire more than anything else…children. I will be watching for the ending/beginning to this amazing story.
That is the coolest – and most beautiful – thing I’ve ever seen. I can’t wait for the rest of the story.
I have always, always wanted to be a surrogate. This is the coolest set of photos. Thank you and thanks to this family for sharing!
These are awesome! I’m totally in tears! What an amazing story…and equally amazing people. I cannot wait to watch this journey through your viewfinder in the coming months. Prayers for them all!

Jen, this brought tears to my eyes. What an awesome moment to experience with this family.
I LOVE this! Jen, I wish I had seen this before I saw you today, to tell you in person…how special it is you were able to tag along today! Missy is a good friend of mine too! I have a great deal of respect for Missy and her family for what she does to help other people become a “family”. So glad you got to share in this joy and get to share more with all of us!
Fantastic, Jen! What a honor for you to be documenting this joyful event.
