Arden Prucha Photography bio picture

  • HI! I am Arden Prucha Jenkins - a photographer located in Fort Worth, Texas! I specialize in portraiture and more recently weddings! Please take a look around and get to know my work, my style, my life, and me.

    How did I get into photography? Well, everyone has their story right? Looking back I realize that the little photog was in me all along, without even knowing it! I picked up a camera when I was around 8 and started snapping photos - I even posed my neighbors, animals, and Barbies for photos (seriously I made a Barbie wedding and photographed the entire thing). 

    Who am I? Well, I was a teacher for three years, but was able to leave that job to focus on photography and my two beautiful children!  I married a man who I am totally smitten over and he is crazy supportive of me.  I am a bargain shopper with expensive taste.  God allows me to trust this world with less fear and more hope and trust.  Music makes my heart flutter - so thankfully I married a very talented musician. I wish I could carry a tune, but unfortunately I cannot. My favorite month is October (dreamy light) and I miss my convertible - oh the beautiful wind .  When I was little I was amazingly or perhaps annoyingly hyper - and ate more food than all of the boys and was faster than most of them too.  I was a dancer and I love to write and converse.  When I am around people I get more energy and become alive. The differences between women and men intrigue me and kiddos make my heart melt. Photos... well, they fill my heart.


    Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you enjoy what you see.

We are back after a fun filled and BUSY five days in Manhattan.

I am really excited to post a peek of the shoots (tomorrow).

We actually shot more than scheduled, due to everything being SOOOOO spread out up there.

I mean, we couldn’t even fit in EVERYTHING they (WE) wanted, there just isn’t time to do it all. 🙁

The sessions were great and Joy and James were very great to us and to the lens.

 

Paul’s view VS My view

Also… on our off time we realllly soaked it up.

I knew I was going there 7+ months pregnant, but I was not going to let that get in my way.

Little baby Jenks was on board, cooperating most of the time!

 

We walked, and walked, and WALKED some more.

On top of that we: ATE ATE ATE and might I add what we devoured was FANTASTIC!?

 

I now have a lot of catching up to do.  Three portrait sessions, one wedding AND NYC portraits and personal.

Not to mention some meetings and shoots this week!  Eeeeek 🙂

So as I try to NOT NAP and NOT CATCH up on rest… I am just pretending I am still in the Big Apple and GO GO GO.

 

I am sharing a few shots from OUR GORGEOUS Hotel:

Mondrian SoHo

Tomorrow I will share some shots of my lovely clients!

Kalli – Beautiful images! I love New York! Last year my husband took me for my birthday. The best part was it was a “photography trip.” Which meant he couldn’t complain when I kept stopping to take a picture everywhere we went. I had to go back and look at my own memories!

Here was my New York last year:
