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.

Out of the Office

We will be leaving for Louisiana for Meme’s funeral 🙁

(Paul’s Grandmother, our children’s Great “Meme”)

I will do my best to answer emails while we are away; as well as blog and edit sessions, oh my.

We will be back on Monday – September 13th.

Thank you for your patience, rearranging, and understanding.

By the way… In case you were wondering, YES, yes I DO have the cutest kiddos in the world.

It started out with my vision.  To be able to capture people living their life, a tad more elegantly, while I am there with my camera.  I held a contest for a FREE E-session through my FB page – the rules were simple:

a. you had to be engaged

b. you had to theme your shoot based on the things you two love to do (and send me a write up of your session)

My point in doing so?  I want to steer away from the typical locations, the typical ideas, the typical photo – for myself, for my work, for my art, for my clients.  Utilizing their brains, ideas, & creativity can add a unique perspective and my clients will be able to own their photos.

Why not make it about YOU?  I want my work to represent both of US… not just ME.

So, Tristan and Matt wrote me an energetic and sweet letter (see bottom of post).  Describing their passions.  Explaining their places.  Telling me their ideas.  I was excited just reading it.  They chose the Bishop Arts District and Belmont Hotel – two places they frequent.  Both locations are unique, fun, romantic, sexy, and colorful!  Tristan had her hair and make-up done (recommended), shopped around for perefect outfits, and purchased little props for this session.  Photos are an investment and will be passed down through generations.  Why not make them YOUR OWN?

Thank you T+M for being so eager, dedicated, creative, and IN LOVE!  Seriously, you will see it in their images.
