MINI - SESSIONS!!!

****All 7 days are now full. I'm lookin at the calendar now to see when I may can open another date. Please stay tuned, and thanks so much for the overwhelming response. If you are interested in a spot, please go ahead and email me, and I'll return those in the order they come in when I pick the new date. ****

It's time for Spring Mini-Sessions!

This year, we're going to do them a little bit differently.
We'll be doing them on at least 5 different dates. They will be for about 3 hours each.
This way, I don't get worn out, it'll be easier to get everything edited in a more timely manner, and we'll be able to accomodate more peoples' schedules.

I don't want to make these season specific photos. I would rather provide you with photos that you'll be able to display in your home year around. That being said, I will have no props (except the petti-skirts). If you want a bunny, eggs, Easter basket, etc...you must provide that yourself.

Dates and times are as follows...
*****We are close to having all dates full, if we do fill up, I'll open more dates!***
Thanks so much for the awesome response! You guys rock! :)

Saturday, March 7th - Madison - 3-6 - (FULL)

Sunday, March 8th - Madison - 4-6:30 (FULL)

Thursday, March 12 - Madison - 4-6:30 (FULL)

NEW DATE ADDED! Sunday, March 15th 4-6:30 - Madison (FULL)

Monday, March 16th - Madison - 4-6:30 (FULL )

Friday, March 20th - Clinton - 1-4:00 (FULL)

Saturday, March 28th - Madison - 4-6:30 (FULL)

$25 gets you (2) 5x7's and a set of wallets
No sitting fee
Sessions are 10 minutes each.
You will be provided with an online album of your images. You can share this with friends and family, and you will have the opportunity to order additional prints for 20% off our regular prices!

Please email me @ jeanelle1117@yahoo.com or call to set up your appt. 601.405.6969
When you email, please provide me with the following...

Date you want, the time you want and 2 alternative times (in case your first choice is already filled), name, address, phone#, childrens' names and ages. Also, if you are not already a client of mine, please provide me with whomever referred you.

Don't forget, when indicating the time you want, they are booked in 10 minute increments.
So, you can have 3:30 or 3: 40 or 4:20, etc...

Dates usually fill up quickly, so if you aren't around your computer often, to check email for return confirmation, then calling may be a better option for you.

Directions to the locations will be provided to you via email.
Let me know if you have any questions!

Gabby Grace - playing in the City of Lights

We took Gabby to the square in Canton today. She's really hard to photograph, but I managed to catch a few. This is the only one I've edited, though. So here ya go!


Adding this one! It's meant to be "artsy" not cute :) And, obviously not taken on the square. This was at an old barn.

Rock out!

Warning! I actually shoot more than just children!

This is the Rock Band, "Bloodkin."

They are AWESOME.

They have several albums, and they have also written some of the songs that Widespread Panic sings! (well, WSP "covers" them, I guess is the correct term). They have opened for them before, and they also perform all over the US.

Anyways, these guys are nice as can be, and while here for one of their 2008 shows, they allowed me to meet with them before their show @ Martin's to take some shots.

Our Christmas Card this year!

Okay, I'll have to admit that one reason I haven't updated the blog since the pics of MM & KK is because I thought they deserved to be in the spotlight for a long time!

Now, I wanna share with you our family Christmas Card this year.
This is different from the ones that went out to my clients.

The one I sent to family & close friends is folded, on linen paper.
It was gorgeous, if I do say so myself!



The front


The inside spread, it opened up to this 10x7 image!



The back.




I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season, and I hope that your 2009 is AWESOME!!
Look for our newsletter to come out soon!

OH MY GOSH...

I patiently waited 9 months to shoot these little munchkins!!

I can't look at this pic without smiling, or feeling just a little proud that I took it :)




Here's "big" sister, Kennedy. (or BK, as I named her). She apparantly stayed up all night last night, just so she'd sleep all day for me today! That was really nice of her to do that for me. Maybe not so much for mom & dad, though! hehehehe











And will you look at this little stinker? (Eminem, as I call her)
Sometimes, shots mean more in a series...and these 2 definitely do!
I think she did this on purpose, regardless of the fact that she's only 2 weeks old.



!




Yep, I nicknamed both girls. It helped me to tell them apart!


Krisa & Taylor, thanks for letting me invade your home and take over your children! I hope you love your images!

I've been a bad blogger, but with a good excuse

Sorry I've been terrible on the blogging front lately. Christmas Season has had me slammed.
I'll try to catch up after things slow down.
For now, I'll leave you with some Gabby Grace...

Richard & Walker

These 2 were a treat to shoot. So fun and so funny.

This first one is my new fave photo.
That light...it's just gorgeous!
That giggle...it's so natural!



Look at the light glowing on the little brother!

Evan J.

Isn't he so adorable?



And mom said he's obsessed with trains, so she wanted to shoot him on the tracks. I love this one.







And isn't this field awesome?

McClara

Oh, how I love little McClara!!!
Here's a sneaky peek for mom...

2 1/2

It's hard to believe Gabby's only 2.5 in this photo. She looks 12.

Hmmmm....

Fancy Shoes...



An Awesome Cake...




The one silly guy in a tux who dances in the middle of the street...




2 Silly guys cuttin' up in the elevator...



This could all only mean one thing...


A Wedding!!!

My dear friends, Chuck & Celena got married last nite @ The Capital Club.
Thanks for asking me to photograph such a special event in your lives!
Congrats you two. Have a great time on your Honeymoon.
