On life... We moved into our new place (and are going through binky withdraws, or as my husband calls it "crack withdrawals") but I'll get more into that later. We didn't take extra time off to move so we've been trying to unpack as we go, but the main stress of it all is behind us I think. Now I get to focus on putting things where I want them to go, and decorating.
Just before our move a friend of mine told me her little sister is getting married and asked if I'd take her engagement photos. This was my first engagement shoot so I'm excited to share. Look past the ugly logo, still working on that.
He: Is a fireman in training and former Texas State football player.
She: Is a 5'4 second grade teacher with a bubbly personality.
They: Were like models, and made my day.
I told them I'd get them 20-30 photos on a DVD but I ended up shooting more than 500 and editing more than 80. There were too many fun ones to choose from!
Let me know what you think of my first try at this! It's so strange seeing other faces besides Lil' J pop up in my camera.
Beautiful! <3
ReplyDelete(your work is ALWAYS phenomenal)

for a cute & affordable logo ;)
Grrrl Please. Who notices the logo. This couple is gorg. Great job!!:)
ReplyDeleteP.S. If she's 5'4", then what's she standing on. They're like same height (almost) in that kissing photo.
WOW!!! Jen you did an amazing job! You have a talented eye for this, I see a side hustle in which you would do very very well.
ReplyDeleteYou go girl!!!! They look fantastic. I adore the football/engagement ring pic. And the one of them in the end zone. It's exciting, isn't it!? I just did my first senior/graduate session and it was really fun. Plus she is really cute!!!! Congrats on the big move lady...
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the big move. I feel your pain as we just went through that just a few weeks ago! With that being said... its super fun exciting to move into a new place too! Lots more memories and new ways to make your house a home! <3. I love the pictures... and while that couple is model material, I must give credit where credit is due. To you my friend!!! Wow! Great job at all the angels and I too, love the football hand one! If only we lived closer... James and I are in need of some cute photos! Cute cute cute!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your first engagement shoot! Looks very professional!
ReplyDeleteHow did the move go? Must be interesting with a toddler in tow!
Girl, they are all beautiful! Does not look like your first time at all! You should definitely start a business. I especially love the TX state ones.
ReplyDeleteWow these are great! And such a cute couple. Enjoy decorating and all that jazz :)
ReplyDeleteThey're AMAZING, Jenn! Seriously! I love the sharp focus. I can't stand when a picture is blurry. Must be all that training with video cams!
ReplyDeleteThose are awesome! I bet this could become your full time job. Those are fantastic. If I lived close by I would let you practice on my fan :)
ReplyDeleteReally cute couple...and beautiful ring! You did a GREAT job!
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome couple! Congrats on your first shoot =)
ReplyDeleteThese are great! You did a fantastic job and you could definitely go into business for yourself because you could compete with the best of them :-) Can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteI love love love the ones of their hands on the football showing her ring. Very creative and fun! You do awesome work.
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are really amazing! You definitely have talent beyond just baby pictures. (Not that baby pictures aren't adorable and worthwhile!)
ReplyDeleteThese photos are amazing! Do you travel? I would definitely hire you!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful job Jenn! I am proud of you. Great composition and lighting!
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling couple. I love that another girl out there has knees like me and... she is one lucky girl. Her fiance looks nice and he's a football player. What more could you ask for? If he's a man of God she's got it all!
I hope you show us more clients soon!
Those are amazing...I can see why you would have difficulty narrowing them down! :D
ReplyDeleteGreat job! It doesn't look like your first engagement shoot. I love the football with the engagement ring shot- perfect! I think your logo will take time to evolve... even McDonalds has revamped the golden arches.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Jen those pictures are AMAZING!! Love them so much.
ReplyDeletegreat work, this a great shoot. i love the one where the height difference is visible. well done ;)
ReplyDeleteOkay. I see a lot of folks who try to get into the photography business and their pictures leave something to be desired. But girl, YOU ARE GOOD. No really, these are GREAT pictures and you could charge a lot of money! Well done!
ReplyDeleteit's official: you are a superhuman lol these photos are amazing! my favorite has got to be the one of them smooching in the background with her ring on her boot as the focus...love it! if i had 1/2 your talent and even 1/4 of your drive and motivation, i'd be dangerous!!
ReplyDeleteWow. These are great engagement photos!! I can't believe they're your first couple. Incredible! I'm sure you're looking at other photographers' work for inspiration - my photog was wonderful if you want to check out her post production, etc: http://staycationmama.blogspot.com/2009/07/high-line-backdrop-for-our-engagement.html
ReplyDeleteUmmm...you did EXCELLENT! You make me want to be a better person, seriously :-D Keep up the fabulous work.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, those are really beautiful Jenn! I totally think you could have a great career as a photographer. The poses you shot are really creative. Love the one with her engagement ring balanced on her boot.
ReplyDeleteIf I'm ever in your area, I'll be requesting my own little mini shoot.
Wow great job, those pictures look perfect!
ReplyDeleteJennifer! Can't BELIEVE that this was your first time doing photos like this! AMAZING! If your doing this for a hobby...any interest in coming to Houston at the end of May when my baby girl is due to document a birth story in the hospital with pictures? And then doing a newborn photo shoot afterwards? I'm 100% serious if your up for it! -Kristen theharrisonhouse.blogspot.com
