About Jen...

Thanks for checking in to learn more about me.  I love my life and seriously feel really blessed!  Photography is a passion of mine and it definitely continues to challenge me to push the envelope more and more.  I have been photographing weddings and families for more than 10 years and feel incredibly blessed to do what I love surrounded by those that I love!!  I am a mom to three and married to the love of my life.  I've chosen to work from home and while often challenging, I wouldn't trade it for the world.    

I have 2 boys and one little girl.  Brennan is almost 7 and is my little red head.  People LOVE his red hair. Though he started out with the fiery personality I carried as a youngster, he's grown up to be quite the respectful child who has a love of learning. Dawson is a middle child...need I say more?  He's a tender hearted almost 4 year old whose main method of communication is the perpetual whine.  He has an infectious smile that sure makes it hard to put the camera down around him.  Emery is our little girl who is 1 year old.  She's super laid back and easily entertained...the complete opposite of both her brothers.  She is loved by all the boys in our house but wants only to be with Mommy...and after a couple of Daddy's boys, I'm really ok with that!  My husband and I will be married 10 years this year.  I can hardly believe it's been that long.  He too has a job that he loves in Real Estate Development.  He's very supportive of me in my business and really helpful with the technical side of things (he insists he's even taught me a little Photoshop here and there...I beg to differ).  If there's anything he'd change about my job...it's all the romance I'm around that he has to compete with!!  I'm a hopeless romantic for sure!  But he has some of that in him too, it just tends to go into hiding sometimes!

My family is the most important thing to me and is definitely the reason I love photography so much.  I can't describe the satisfaction I get in capturing wonderful moments for people who are be able to keep them as memories forever.  I truly am grateful that I can have a career working for so many amazing people during some of their most intimate life moments.   

 

In the bag...

I use only the highest quality cameras and lenses!  My main camera is the Canon 5d Mark II.  It is a full frame camera with over 21 megapixels and an expanded ISO range from 50 up to 25,600.  WOW!!  This is cutting edge camera technology...at least for the moment!  I also use only Canon "L" series lenses.  The "L" stand for luxury and man does it ever live up to its name!  Aside from giving me a good arm workout, these lenses have low dispersion glass and are some of the fastest lenses available.  While I typically prefer the wide aperture and great depth of field offered by the 70-200 f 2.8 lens, I also have a handful of other great lenses...

17-40mm f 4.0 USM                                                                                                     28-70mm f 2.8 USM                                                                                                   35mm f 1.4 USM                                                                                                              I also have a Canon 580EX and 580EXII Speedlight.

For Editing I use Adobe Lightroom 2.0 and Adobe Photoshop CS4.

Family Fun – Arizona State Fair Fun

Here’s some highlights from a fall family fun day spent at the fair! We changed our minds at the last minute from heading way out to Schnepf farms and I’m glad we did, the fair was so fun for the kids and really cheap too! I did wash their hands about 30 times while there, thankfully no swine flu yet =)

The last shot is Brennan reviewing the story one more time about his win on a $3 game! He had to throw a baseball as fast as he could and on his second throw guess his speed! Thankfully he got it right and we were all super happy he won a much needed, nice, fitted ASU hat!

Dr’s Office Professional Office Photos

I recently went over to the office of Arizona Skin Care Physicians to give them an updated office group photo as well as some head shots for some of the providers. This office offers a wide range of AMAZING skin care options and has a wonderful staff full of these women ready to help!

VACATION – Beach house style…

Oh I am going to have to blog backwards since I had just a little too much fun in September on VACATION! I’ll post a few different times as I have time to go through the images. First up, the AMAZING beach house we stayed at in California over my birthday. WOW, was that ever a TREAT! It is AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL and if not for a billion grains of sand and no cell phone coverage…I think I could just LIVE there, ok I COULD live there even with those!
_3654WELCOME! I feel like there should be a sign that says “immediate relaxation awaits”….(except not before we put away ALL the many breakables)
_2965This is the family room and kitchen off the entry with an entire wall of windows overlooking the sand and beach!
_3636Another gathering area with games and movies!
_3626OOOOOOOOOOhhhh the rooms! All lightly painted in blue and yellow hues with white furniture and bead board ceilings, it was REFRESHING!

_3605

_3610And the view from that reading place…
IMG_2932One of the bedrooms painted a pale green
_3614An oh so cute room painted the perfect yellow!
_3621Seriously? Fall asleep in the hammock on the second story with THIS view?
_2930A collection of my favorite images of the house…
Beachhouse
We are super thankful to my hubby’s friends for allowing us the opportunity to stay in such a beautiful place!!
