hanging out with the beautiful girl

i am making an effort to finally get back to blogging after many many months of sickness and now playing catch up with all the work i came back to. i love blogging and have truly missed it. i have learned a lot over the last 6 months. not that these weren't things i didn't know. but sometimes we need a reminder.

take nothing for granted. especially your health.
enjoy every minute cause you never know...
and relax. or you may be forced to.
here are some photos of the most important thing in the world.

boudoir fundraiser...jan 8th & 15th 2011

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.
