You've come across my photography blog, hopefully on purpose, so please sit, get comfy, and have a look around! You'll find lots of client sneak peeks, new product information, business updates and offers, and a story or two about my personal life, so you can get to know me a little better, and understand my passion for photography! I truly love what I do, and I try to convey that here on my blog! Feel free to leave as many comments as you like - I love to hear from all of you :)
These girls kill me! They are HILARIOUS! Little miss never stops talking & big sister is sooooo princess! I love it 
You’ve seen them around my site tons before, I’ve been photographing them for 2 years now! So, no real need for introduction, just enjoy the pics…

Senior Rep Search!
The Senior Rep program benefits me and you! It’s a program put in place to get my name out into the High Schools in the area, and you benefit with free sessions and discounts on prints and boutique items All you have to do is tell your friends about your session with me in return! I am currently looking for Seniors from the graduating class of 2011 that are interested in participating. A senior rep is a student that is outgoing, fun, and not camera shy. They have to be up for trying anything, and excited about doing photos. If you think you know somebody that would be perfect please let me know!

Dear Connor,
I love the way your hair curls when you get out of the bath
I think it’s cute as hell when you say “Uh-Oh”
I die laughing when you dance – just die!!
You melt my heart when all you want to do is cuddle
I think it’s crazy how much you LOVE to push buttons
I could lay outside your room forever just to hear you talk yourself to sleep
I adore your little outie belly button
You make my day when you jump on my lap and say “Tickle tickle tickle”
I cry when you cry
I get excited when I find your tiny little socks all over the house
I am totally smitten for you
I think it’s adorable when you put your rain boots on first thing in the morning, over your pajamas
I treasure watching you play with daddy
I think you are absolutely handsome
I enjoy listening to you laugh at the cat
I think it’s funny that you would do anything for a Nacho Dorito chip
You make me giggle when you drive the car on the cart at the grocery store
I dig that you love to help me fold the laundry (even though you are really un-folding everything)
I cringe when you get hurt
I think you are so sweet to babies
I think you are super silly, pretty much all the time
I worship you in the car – you are so good and love to rock out with you
I admire that you LOVE to play outside
I miss your baby talk
I can’t believe you are already 3!
I love you and I look forward to everyday with you
Blog readers – say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my mom too! She and Connor share their special day : )

Connor and I went shopping today. Just him and I, we both had birthday money burning wholes in our pockets! I got a new shirt and picked him out some new clothes. He picked out some really cool toys. It was a lot of fun : )
March 5, 2010 - 5:15 pm - OMG! I took the quiz and I missed the symbol for ADOBE! HAHAHAHA! Must get back to picture taking immediately. How embarrassing! ;) Lovin' the blog!
March 3, 2010 - 12:39 pm - Happy Birthday to Connor and Grandma :)

February 27, 2010 - 7:45 am - so sweet, congratulations for Connor :)
Here’s a tiny sneak peek for a tiny little girl! She made her debut 6 weeks early, but is doing great : ) I’m pretty sure she was early because she was dying to have me do her pics, but who really knows?!
She was so much fun to work with, her teensy little sighs, cute orange hair, and easy going demeanor totally made me fall in love. And, she has fabulous parents to top it off : ) Who wouldn’t love a session like that?
Well, here she is, 2 weeks old, and just over 5lbs … a doll!
Hope you love the peek mom & dad, I sure enjoyed the day with you : )

Here’s a peek, this was the desert “bed”
Happy Monday everyone!

I had the first of my 2 neck procedures this week, and it went good. They went in and cauterized the ends of the nerves on the left side of my neck, and on March 2nd they will go in and do the right side. It was much easier than I thought, they put me to sleep, but it’s still an out patient procedure, so when I woke up I get to go home! I’m just sore now, but Connor’s party is this Sunday, so I have a lot to keep me distracted Here’s to being all better when I’m done!
#5

HAPPY FRIDAY
February 19, 2010 - 9:13 pm - Whose that cute little boy right smack in the middle??? LOL
He’s really super cute!
He was a teensy tiny little fighter, but I loved every minute of my time with him : ) I wanted to stick him in my bag and take him home with me! I don’t think mom and dad would have thought was very cool though, so I left him where he belongs. Plus, he has a beautiful new home with fabulous brand new parents, and an awesome granny, so I’m pretty sure he will be fine without me, haha
I’ll say it again though, he was really super cute, and a total sweetheart…the whole tiny package!
And, of course one with his little snow outfit, he’s a blizzard baby ; )
Mom, Dad, and of course Gram, I truly had a great morning with you guys! Hope you love the sneak peek!
February 22, 2010 - 6:41 am - He's is so cute.....the pictures are great! I want some.
February 21, 2010 - 12:32 pm - Sorry... can't wait until I get home to send this note from my computer.... he is absolutley beautiful. I will miss him soooo much when I have to leave =(. The pictures are wonderful and these are only a snippet of what Jen took. She was absolutely wonderful to work with.
February 20, 2010 - 4:10 pm - love your photos! Amazing work:)
February 20, 2010 - 12:36 am - Hey W & B, Absolute perfection. I love everything about these shots. Beautiful baby, tasteful nudes, and a tribute shot to baby Kal-El in a basket. Congratulations to a perfect addition to your family!
February 20, 2010 - 12:06 am - These are sooooooo cute! I LOVE the second one down and the one with that adorable hat!!
February 19, 2010 - 7:56 pm - Great coin Tammy...mind if I steal it? Gruncle Fred and I are so excited for you. He's just too cute! The photo's are great!
February 19, 2010 - 7:54 pm - Look at those cheeks! He's wonderful! I love the one of him against the photo wall and the b&w close-up. Congratulations, again. I can't wait to meet him!
February 19, 2010 - 4:00 pm - These are really great pictures...I can't wait to see more! By the way, who is the weird bearded man holding the baby?
February 17, 2010 - 1:24 pm - oh, complete perfection! That first one needs to be made into a giant canvas :)
February 16, 2010 - 11:48 pm - I am looking forward to meeting our new nephew. Who does he look like?
February 16, 2010 - 9:46 pm - priceless! How will you ever narrow down your photo choices..I think you need a bigger wall so you can get them ALL xoxo
February 16, 2010 - 9:35 pm - cute kid
February 16, 2010 - 8:50 pm - Oh my! He is just gorgeous! You did a fantastic job, Jen! :)

February 16, 2010 - 12:33 pm - ahw what a cutie! :D i looove that photo with the brown hat! so funny :D and love that photo wall... beautifull :D nice serie!!
February 16, 2010 - 12:13 pm - He is SO precious!! I also love the basket by the photo wall, but I must say his little monster hat is too cute! I love that he's a ginger baby....can't wait to meet him!!
February 16, 2010 - 11:05 am - I know it can't be, but he looks bigger already, and we only left on Sunday! You have been blessed with a beautiful, happy and healthy baby boy! The monster hat picture is my favorite - it is just too cute! We hope to see you all soon!
February 16, 2010 - 10:48 am - He looks so cute. Is John going to be able to fit in his hats now that Noah has stretched them out? Can't wait to see him next weekend.

I am in trouble. Big time trouble… I LOVE American Eagle, and I buy James and I clothes there ALL the time. Like, you know how all kinds of stores have those bonus cards where you earn points and get discounts based on the amount of money you spend, but those discounts never come? Well, my AE discounts actually come, and they are always the most they could possibly be. So, I have no idea how I have gone this long without realizing, but they totally have a kids clothing line!!
I got Sniggs too many new clothes. Yep, I’m in trouble
#2
Do you Flickr? You don’t have to be a photog to flickr – it’s such a great site with a wealth of inspiration for everything. Think of it like a Google for images, beautiful images! Recently I looked up party decorations, and found so many great ideas for Connor’s party. You can search for anything you want, you can use it to host your images, or as an online photo album to share photos with friends and family, it’s free, and it’s a great community. So go…
#3
I have been so bored this week – the snow is driving me crazy!! I made James drive me to Michaels so I could get some new crafts. I ended up leaving with a box of white fondant, a rolling pin, blue orange & green dye, a few basic tools, and the fabulous idea of making Connor’s b-day cake myself! haha
Since his theme is “bedtime stories” I got the idea to make a cake topper bed with some books, a flashlight, and of course a teddy! I figured it would be a great new thing to try, and it would be smart to do a test run before I do the cake next week, so here’s what I came up with…
I could totally pick it apart, but I honestly surprised myself : ) I think I did pretty good considering I have never even seen fondant before.
I did decide to do cupcakes for the party instead, but I am still going to make a new bed “set” to put on the top of the tower, and decorate about half the cupcakes with fondant next week, so wish me luck! I am totally loving this whole party planning thing!

Oh my gosh! This one is cool!! I found the sweetest magnet set, and I want it so bad, feel free to send me this for my birthday as well ; ) haha
#5
My Bravo channel disappeared. Not really sure where it went or why, but I will be calling Dish tomorrow. I miss The Real Housewives : (
HAPPY FRIDAY
February 20, 2010 - 1:16 pm - Wow!! That cake topper came out amazing! You are just good at everything, aren't you? :-)
February 14, 2010 - 6:07 pm - One artistic young lady! You should become a party planner, you would be the photographer, the cake maker... how are you at flower arranging?!?!
February 12, 2010 - 9:16 pm - That cake turned out so AWESEOME!!! Great job! Oh and that magnet set is hilarious! Good Luck with Connors cupcakes, can't wait to see pics, I'm sure they will turn up on here soemtime. :)

Connor’s invites are in! My fabulous friend Amanda told me it would be cool to do little books, since I am doing a “bedtime stories” theme. I thought that was genius! I love them so much, I got them all bound up last night and they are ready to go out! Here’s a peek…
#2
Speaking of his party, I got the cool theme idea from Hostess With The Mostess, if you have not heard of this site, and are at all into entertaining, then you have truly been missing out. The site is uhhh-maaahzing!! It has so many cool ideas, and tons and tons of entertaining eye candy Go check it out! It’s perfect for days like this, if you’re stuck inside because of a crazy storm. haha
#3
I found these really cool iPhone cases for photogs. I want one. Anybody wanna buy me a present? My birthday is in like 3 weeks. I’m just sayin’…
#4
Snow snow and more snow! That’s all we’ve been getting lately, but the other day it was special.
The snow had been carefully dusted across everything so it was like waking up in a winter wonderland. Connor and I took a long walk all through our community and had such a great time.
It was quiet.white.beautiful.captivating.clean.elegant.simply stunning.
Connor wanted to wear his daddy’s hat : )
#5
James gets mad props again. He was the one to brave the grocery store early this morning for all the snowed in necessities. Hot chocolate with whipped cream, trashy magazines, ingredients for home made soup, pull-ups, lots of yummy snacks, and the most important, diet root beer!
HAPPY FRIDAY!
February 9, 2010 - 6:49 pm - LOVE those invite! & how cute is your little boy! Gorgeous! :)

February 5, 2010 - 2:38 pm - OMG! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Snigg's invites. In fact, I just love the nickname Sniggs. Where did it come from?
February 5, 2010 - 2:33 pm - LOVE those invites!!! Absolutely adorable!!!!
February 5, 2010 - 1:50 pm - Jen I LOVE those iPhone cases! Definitely put it on my must have list for when I go iPhone in June when my Sprint contract is up :-)
February 5, 2010 - 11:23 am - Great idea Jen- 5 fact Friday that is! I am so off to check out that link. I'm guessing I'll pay for it too. I love hosting things. Oh and that book invite- Awesome!
February 5, 2010 - 11:10 am - I love love love your birthday invite book..it is just awesome.
I did a little mini session with Miss Maggie here on Sunday, and she was so much fun! I had literally just gotten this hat from Melissa at Monkey Toe Designs, and I was so excited! I had to trek out in the snow to the mail box crossing my fingers it would be there just before the session, but it was so worth it! We put it on her and just about died!! I just wanted to eat her cute little face the whole time, haha. I big puffy heart her for sure : ) And after seeing these cutesy pics, I’m sure you will too!
She will be turning 1 next month, so of course we had to use some sweets too!
Happy Birthday Miss Maggie – I miss you already!!
February 3, 2010 - 8:20 am - She is soo precious! What great pictures!! I cannot believe she is going to be one!
February 2, 2010 - 8:28 am - She is sooooo adorable!!! Great shots!!!!
February 2, 2010 - 12:48 am - Adorable as always! She's a big girl, I thought she was for sure over 1 year. Her parents must be tall. :)
February 1, 2010 - 11:40 pm - OMG, So damn cute! I could just eat her (and that hat!) up!!! Awesome pictures Jen!
