"My experience with Jo was one to remember forever! Jo cares deeply about her clients and makes the experience very personal. She took the time to understand what I had envisioned for my senior photos and made suggestions that aligned perfectly with my personality and style! On the day of our shoot she made me feel so relaxed and confident. It was even more special that my mom got to be there with us too! The three of us had so much fun exploring new locations, trying on outfits, and taking pictures. The end results were nothing short of amazing. My mom and I were overjoyed with how they turned out and will keep these pictures with us forever! "

I originally learned about Jo from a very dear friend who had worked with Jo when her older children were seniors. This trusted friend I knew appreciates the timeless and priceless gift a picture provides when it is done well and therefore captures a moment in time that lasts forever.

In looking through Jo’s portfolio, I was captivated by her ability to create personal connections, put each senior at ease, and capture their true self in each photograph.

The images from my son’s session exceeded my expectations. I have timeless treasures to capture this moment in time from his final year in high school.

Jo is lovely, sincere, passionate about your student's experience, and always seeking to exceed expectations. She is truly such a talent in the arena, and I would highly recommend her work.

Thank you, Jo!

I have known Jo since college and I have known her always to be a lovely, kind and energetic person. She has become an incredibly talented photographer. She captured my twin daughters, Ruthie and Carolyn, during their senior year. Her conscientiousness, her engagement, and her preparation were absolutely incredible. All of the different poses, the attention to detail, her follow up and the Signature Album she designed underscore that she is a fantastic photographer. Her photos of my daughters will be cherished forever and the album was a perfect gift for my family.

Jo. thank you so much for such an unforgettable experience - from the fun photo shoot to receiving our album.

Jo captured the most amazing photos of Madeleine. There is no way we could have chosen just a few to keep. The album is the perfect answer!

This beautiful keepsake will be treasured forever. We are truly blessed to have worked with such an amazing photographer. Our album is a stunning celebration of Madeleine

Jo Reeves is an exceptional photographer and consummate professional. More importantly, she is gifted in how she interacts with her clients during sessions in order to capture each unique student. She immediately put Grace at ease in front of the camera and it is reflected in the beautiful, natural images.

Jo Reeves is absolutely a joy to work with! She has taken the most beautiful pictures of my children since they were in elementary school and now they are in college.

Jo is such a professional and really connects with her clients, especially the teenagers. She makes them feel so comfortable during the session and that’s not easy to do, especially with 18 year old boys! I would highly recommend Jo; in my opinion she is the best of the best.

Jo has been my friend and photographer since before our children were born, and before she became a photographer by profession. I have never met anyone who gives their work, whatever it may be, the level of attention to detail, and concern for quality, as Jo's photography. Through genuine interest for her subjects, she calms, builds trust, and inspires confidence, so the true self is reflected through her lens. Her photographs over the years are a treasure trove our family will enjoy for generations. We look forward to many more years Jo's photography.

Our time with Jo is always time well spent. She has photographed all three of my girls, as well as family photos. I’m never sure who is more excited, Jo or me?! She is enthusiastic, patient and helpful. She makes sure everyone always feels comfortable. Each time, she is able to capture the pure essence of each one of my girls. She is able to draw out their true inner spirit in her photographs. We have never been disappointed!

When it was time for my daughter's Senior Portrait I knew that I wanted Jo Reeves to be the photographer .

I know there are a lot of photographers who can take good pictures, so I did my research and considered all of my options. However, when I saw Jo's gallery of photos I knew immediately that I had found my photographer. All of Jo's photos were stunning and, quite simply, no other photographer could compare.

Jo has the ability to capture the inner beauty of her subjects as well as their outer beauty so her photos have more depth and dimension than any other photographer I saw. Jo's emphasis on a natural no makeup look allows the camera to see the purity of the image and really focus on the person and not the surrounding background. Finally, Jo's approach to photography made the photo shoot so fun that the pictures clearly show that my daughter was having a great time.

I could not be more pleased with my decision to hire Jo. Working with a professional photographer with years of experience has many advantages beyond her artistic skills. All of her services and fees were disclosed up front so there were no surprises. She offered so many options that I was able to truly customize the entire experience from the photo shoot to the final product. In the end, I had the perfect memories I wanted, my daughter had a really fun photo shoot with pictures she loved and I had beautiful photos to share with family and friends.

Thank you Jo Reeves for a wonderful Senior Portrait experience!

I would highly recommend Jo Reeves for your child's senior portrait. Jo was a pleasure to work with and extremely talented. I hope I can work with her again when my boys are seniors. I love our albums. We have enjoyed ours and it was the perfect gift for the grandparents!

Jo has been taking photos of my 2 boys for over 10 years since she has offered her services a W. T. Jackson elementary for a fundraiser. It’s hard to believe it has been that long as she just completed my oldest son’s senior photos and will be taking my next son's senior photos in the spring. Jo’s helpfulness with selecting outfits, locations and attention to detail comes through with every photo. I love looking back over the years and seeing how she captured their personality at that time in every photo. She did a great job connecting with each of my boys to get the best possible photos. Jo’s photos are so good that it makes the decision as to which ones to purchase really difficult.

Jo is fabulous. She gives you great pre-photo tips, puts you at ease during the session and allows you time to take several pictures in different outfits and in different light to ensure you are able to get so many great shots. I am so happy with my senior photos.

What an amazing talent…Jo Reeves! Hiring Jo to photograph my high school senior was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Her instincts are remarkable and unparalleled. How she managed to capture the true essence and personality of my daughter, over and over again throughout her photos, I will never know. My first glances through her camera during our session brought tears to my eyes, knowing we were getting incredible images. Jo’s easy going demeanor puts any person at ease, allowing their true inner selves to shine through her camera lens. Her attention to detail and her creativity with ideas for different looks create the most stunning effects. I wept when she brought me my completed album. It is something I will treasure for all of my years…the most beautiful pictures of my daughter just as she is about to leave her childhood years behind. Thank you Jo, for capturing this most precious moment in time for us all.

There is artistry in every image. Jo captures the essence of her clients in every shot with her eye for lighting, location, and detail. The session with Jo is relaxed - bringing out the natural beauty of each subject. From her efficient use of time during the session to ordering images online, the only difficulty was narrowing down which of the amazing images to select. I wanted them all!

I am so glad we were referred to Jo for our daughter’s senior photos. Senior photos are no longer just a portrait. We were looking for special photos to capture, not just a “sitting” environment, but something more contemporary that represented the current tempo of her life. Jo prepared us for the day by getting to know Alix ahead of time and made sure that the arrangements for the time and date worked for us and helped select clothing that complimented Alix in personality, color and the environment the photos would be taken in. It was a great experience and the photos turned out so wonderful that we wanted to buy them all. Jo then helped me narrow down the images as there were so many it was truly hard to choose. Thank you for a great experience that kicked off our Senior Year.

Jo has an amazing eye for settings and spent the morning helping my son get comfortable posing for shots. It was a rainy day, but Jo made it work in our favor! She was able to capture the light in his eyes and. Her unique ability to create a warm and relaxed setting allowed his personality to shine in the images. This photo shoot was not a priority for him, and I think he truly agreed to do it as a special favor for me. But afterwards he even admitted it was pretty fun. I know we will treasure these photos for years to come!

Jo first photographed my girls in 2010. What always tickles me about sessions with Jo is her absolute delight and excitement when she knows she has captured something remarkable. She is passionate about photography and her enthusiasm never wanes. You will work with Jo on the front, middle and back end of the entire process. She will guide you, meticulously, towards preparation for the shoot and then you will find yourself in contact with her for years to come. She really studies her subjects and works with the best colors, lighting and angles. Each image is a signature of her artistry and she gives it a lot of thought and effort. The images are breathtaking and I really appreciate that Jo wants the natural beauty to shine through, without a makeup artist. No Woo appointment necessary! Trust her guidance on everything; makeup, wardrobe, hair, etc. She will not steer you wrong. I promise.

Loved our senior photo session with Jo! From her very detailed directions, to her incredible access to her outdoor location, she made everything about the session from start to finish so easy. Jo is incredibly warm, easygoing, and extremely funny. She had a wonderful repertoire with Faith and created a very relaxing atmosphere for photography. She really understands teenagers (having raised 2 of her own) and it shows with how she relates to photographing them. I cannot recommend her highly enough and you will not be disappointed with her finished edited pics. Her true talent is capturing your son/daughter's unique personality on camera.

I met Jo Reeves at Morris Brandon Elementary almost ten years ago. Having admired Jo’s photography for some time, I finally got around to having her photograph both my girls. She prepared us so well for the session with an email detailing everything; suggestions of what to wear, colors to avoid, and number of outfits to include. I love Jo’s attention to detail. She took time with both girls and made them feel so comfortable. We were all thrilled with the finished product. Jo is incredibly professional and so easy to work with!

From the initial email exchange to the final purchase and delivery, I was so pleased with the service Jo provided for Jay’s senior portrait session. She was able to put Jay at ease and make him truly enjoy his time at the very cool and rustic Goat Farm. Jo has such an amazing eye for lighting, location and color, resulting in photographs that bring out the clients’ eyes and the most beautiful features of the face. She had the gallery posted quickly and the online ordering process was seamless. Jay was thrilled with the shots she captured and it was difficult to choose his favorites. It is clear that Jo enjoys working with high school seniors. What an amazing way to remember this year.

Capturing, documenting and creating memories through photos is the reason we have trusted Jo to photograph our family for years. Whether it is your first session with her or one of many Jo has the ability to capture the essence of the person she is photographing. Jo is the consummate professional and her sessions result not only in fantastic photos, but in lots of laughter and fun. I couldn’t imagine turning to anyone else to photograph Collette for her senior portraits.
