i am now working with sweet light photographers. you can see me and the new website here:
www.mysweetlight.com

more details to come about that soon. in the meantime...

i would like to give you a little back story on why this idea is so important to me. i have worked with several women who talked about the confidence it gave them to decide to take intimate portraits for their partner. at first they were hesitant and shy, but the more they planned for it and then on the day of the shoot, and finally when i showed them the results….they have all thanked me multiple times for the gift of confidence that they gained.

most women have body issues. as a grown up i have finally learned to be at peace with my body (well, mostly). but i think it is important to feel beautiful. here is our version of giving that to others. i hope you are able to join us. -jen

becca & aaron, 10-3-10

i met becca on facebook through my sister in law. i love meeting people through people that i know. it feels so much more intimate right from the start. she told me all about her plans for her wedding including many many handmade items. ideas that i thought were just amazing. like paper flower arrangements made from recycled bridal magazines, hand cut paper mobiles that hung from the ceiling at the reception, right down to her gorgeous hand sewn gown created by someone she knew. yvonne at kimera design also made all the beautiful bridesmaids dresses, all the dress sashes, and the men's ties.

i love everything about the way she planned this wedding as it is the way i try and do things; thinking outside the box as it were. it made me happy and the execution was so very beautiful. not to mention that the bride & groom and all of their friends were just so happy. (and great dancers too!) as always i was honored to have been invited to record this amazing event.

seeing each other for the first time.

autumn apple

apple picking has quickly become a fall tradition for me after i went for the first time a few years ago with my husbands family. but i have to admit it became really great after we had our daughter. i just love how this year was a totally different experience then last year in what she discovered and what we talked about. here is just one sweet shot from the day that sums up what i felt it was all about.

thank you randall orchard. they don't have a website, but here is there contact information in case you want to go.
