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.

Collins Peek-a-boo

These kiddos were none too happy that I was taking a gazillion photos of them, until… I pulled out Santa Pez, Tootsie Pops, and chocolate!  I know how to bribe kiddos all too well 🙂  Look at how cute they are.

Merry Christmas!

I cannot even begin to tell you how fast the year flew by for me.  A wedding, a new home, a new job, a new baby, ahhh… sounds exhausting huh?  My sister is quite good at snapping photos so, we decided to take some photos for Christmas at a nearby park.  It was quite chilly and very overcast, but the fall/winter colors are outstanding.  I have fallen in love with lots and lots of color in photos, hence the pops from our clothing and accessories.

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and peaceful break.  You guys mean so much to me and I wouldn’t be able to continue my photography without you.  Thank you for the constant support, love, encouragement, and visits.  I pray that this new year will be full of blessings, FUN, love, and peace for each of you.  Don’t forget I love it when you guys comment on these posts, so feel free!!! 😉

The Other Lynda Jenkins Paul & Arden:

OMG, I don’t know which one is my favorite! I love them ALL! You just have an eye for capturing “the moment” that is sooo awesome! I love the one with all four of you on the ground, the one of Paul holding Parker, the one of Violet by herself, the one of Pierson (black and white)with the tree in the background….he looks angelic. They are all beautiful and your sister’s are all great as well. Their little boy is beautiful, just like Violet. I wish we were there! I miss ya’ll and love you so much! What a wonderful Christmas present. I am going to print them all and get frames. I am going to have to dedicate a wall in the house to photos of family. Thanks again for sharing them with us.

Love you much!

I was so fortunate to have the opportunity to capture the beauty of an expectant mother and our Texas fall.  Enjoy the peek of Megan, John, and her sweet belly!

Kruemcke Peek!

Cassie is a super duper talented Graphic Artist who I met through some mutual friends.  I adore her urban vintage flare.  Her home is decked out in new and old decor with TONS of color.  As you can see from this session peek, she has a great sense of style.  Her daughter Merrill did such an excellent job – it was quite cold and she didn’t complain once and followed directions exquisitely!  Her green feather is very “Cindy Lou Who” from Dr. Suess!
