and love like you never been hurt.

Sorry, got busy yesterday and missed my post! Anyway, these girls were so much fun to photograph! The camera just loved them and they totally went for it and had a blast. I think the real fun started when I pulled out the fan. Can you say “America’s Next Top Model”? Enjoy!

Every girl needs a pair of these.

Happy Friday!

Yeah, so I’ve been on a bit of a blogging hiatus lately. They are terrible really, my blogging skills. But I have given myself a new challenge, two challenges actually. One is to blog every day for the next 30 days. Shocking I know, but I figured it’s a good way to get me jump started. I have so many sessions that I never blogged that I am so excited to share, so that will pretty much cover the next 30 days.

The second challenge is what I call Project 52. Last year I completed Project 365 which was to take one picture a day for the entire year. It was hard, very hard. And I did miss a few days here and there, but overall I was very proud of my accomplishment! Mind you these were not fabulous quality photos. Often they were just snapshots taken with my point and shoot and dare I say, the flash! This year, I’m not quite as ambitious. My project this year is to take one picture a week and share it on my blog, hence Project 52. These will be mostly personal pics of my family, etc. I also plan to take some artistic images and share those too. I’ll often highlight composition details and share photo tips and tricks that I use to make my images better. Come along with me and maybe I can teach you some photo tips along the way!

Anyway, enough talk…here’s the first one. I’ll post 3 over the next few days to get myself caught up from January 1st.

We’ll folks the fall family portrait season is in full swing here at the studio. It really is my favorite time of year even though we always seem to be swamped and one step behind! We are so excited to see our “regulars” come back each year for family portraits. This family has been coming to me since their little one was in mommy’s tummy and it just keeps getting better each year. I just love all of  these!

Holiday mini sessions are in full swing here at the studio. There are still a few spots available for this weekend at the studio and at our urban location November 6th. Here’s some from our first round last week at the park. Stay tuned, more cute families to come…

One more post today! I know…I know you are in shock that I am posting so much in one day, but I am so behind in posting. I love getting caught up though! This little superstar is my favorite little client. She has quite the wardrobe too! Her mommy sure knows how to shop. She has so much spunk and is so a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e.

That’s it for today! Jen
