Family Portraits | State College, PA

 

Welcome to J&A portraits, State College PA’s premier family portrait photographer! Whether you are just starting a new family and planning for your first family photograph, or your kids are grown and you are looking to add to your years of memories, we’d love to serve you. Watching families grow is one of the most rewarding parts of our job and we can’t get enough!

We really do feel very honored to be apart of something so important to your family! “The first thing you’d save in a fire”, “your most precious possessions”, you’ve heard all the cliches about family portraits but they are oh so true. All those precious little moments – the looks, the smiles, the giggles, and even the tears, that make up your family’s story – are the things most worth remembering and sharing in this life.

Family portraits are so much more than just a record of what you look like, or a status symbol to hang in your home and show off to your friends. They are instant heirlooms that will become more and more precious to you as the years pass.
