Desirae + Justin. Maternity.

>> 3/28/2011 – Maternity

Desirae requested a session at Red Rocks and we somehow scheduled the only beautiful Saturday in March! As you can see, Desirae's in a tank top and she's not shivering nor does she have goose bumps. It was a gorgeously warm day. The two Saturdays before and the two Saturdays after.... cold and windy and sometimes even rainy. I am so glad we got the warm day! :) It really was a gorgeous afternoon. Desirae & Justin enjoy the outdoors and hiking, and have decorated the nursery in an outdoorsy theme, and Desirae says the Red Rocks scenery will match just perfectly. We hiked, we explored, we saw some really strange bugs..... Yep, it was a good afternoon.

The Orchards. For Real This Time....

Peter Pan swords. Compliments of yours truly. Yep, I just made my own swords, which are my new favorite prop that I haven't even used yet. Oh, have I got plans for these! Including this Friday! Thanks to incredibly unexpectedly cold weather (that's not the weather report I saw!!!), the Orchard Sessions are rescheduled for this Friday between 3:00 and 6:00pm. Please contact me (702.290.4552 or jess @ jessicabphotography.com) to reserve your time.

My creative mind has been going non-stop since Saturday was canceled and so I'm actually thankful that I have time to gather up more accessories. Think lovely, vintage, whimsical springtime. Think imaginitive children at play, enjoying a classic story in the warmth of the afternoon sun, a old-fashioned picnic including a china tea set (brought by the client - if you want a tea set, please bring your own). And the beauty of the blooming trees!! Seriously, it's going to be Heavenly.

Session details are the same as previously stated:

$350 gets you a 1/2 hour session, a 16x24 gallery canvas wrap, 50 brag cards, and a disc of 10-15 best images. (BTW this one is a steal!!)

$265 gets you a 1/2 hour session, a 16x24 mounted textured print, 50 brag cards, and a disc of 10-15 best images.

Make your session an hour long for only $100 more.

Yes, the only difference is the print and the canvas. :) Brag cards are textured, double-sided wallet-sized cards and will be personalized with your names or "Happy Easter from the Smith family" or whatever you want, etc.

These sessions can be used as newborn, children, family, maternity, engagement, even bridal or senior portraits. Just remember that the session only lasts a half an hour! No extended families please! (this means no giant groups of grandma, grandpa, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. Thanks.)

Happy Birthday to this Little Peanut

>> 3/18/2011 – Children

Her mama kept calling the kids "peanuts" which I think is totally cute, and fitting I suppose, since she is the owner of the Petite Peanut Boutique! Little Peanut just turned two. She endured two outfit changes, four locations, and cold winds!! :( Happy Birthday!!

Because I so love the vintage. And her expression.

Happy 6 Month Birthday to this Little Princess!

>> 3/17/2011 – Baby

Can I say how much I loooove doing in-home sessions?? It's gorgeous, it's comfortable, it's personal and it's incredibly easy for you. And I love the images. And Little Princess is a little doll!

Funny story: Christen was describing the nursery to me which, although un-pictured, is adorably decorated with Disney princesses and a giant castle on the wall above the crib. I suggested a tutu - a Princess needs a princess skirt to go with her princess room, right? - and told Christen to check Etsy for some tutus. Christen replied "Etsy? What's that??" A day later, I get an email saying the tutu has been ordered and Etsy is a dangerous site for the wallet!! Agreed!!! :)

Little Princess is belongs to a natural-minded family. Christen specifically asked for a breast-feeding picture to forever remember this special time spent with her baby.

The Ides of March.

>> 3/15/2011 – Wedding

For us, it was a good day.

This was nine years ago.
Hello Film. Long time, no see...

BTW.... Deadlines for Spring Portraits

If you want portraits in time for Easter, your session can be no later than April 9th.

For Mother's Day it's April 16th.

And.... I'm already fairly booked between now and then, so if you want something, speak now or forever hold your peace!

This is why the Orchard Sessions are such a good deal! I've still got a few spots left - book them before they are gone!!!

Nice Weather = A Day at the Park

>> 3/10/2011 – Family Groups

I am going to the park today.

You should too.

This weather is too beautiful to not enjoy!! I love letting the sun warm me up, listening to the birds, chatting with friends, watching the kids play on the playground, etc.

This family invited me to the park with them.

Sigh. I am truly grateful to be able to capture moments like this.

It's Miss D's 6 month birthday!

Tanner always brings a "friend" with him.

Awwwww, super sweet, eh?

Don't forget about the Orchard Sessions!!

Baby Megantron

>> 3/02/2011 – Baby

When we met for their maternity session, I asked what the baby's name was going to be. Without hesitation, Geoff answered "Megantron." As a fan of Transformers myself, I thought it quite clever, and the way he said it and with his personality, I almost thought he was serious! Alas, this is not Megan, but Katelyn. She was two weeks old and just in time for some "spring" props!
