She says, "It's been a rough couple of years for our family since we lost her dad in a tragic motorcycle accident. More medical issues surround our close family members. Her husband is an officer for Metro and they are BOTH going to school with a full schedule! They are making great grades and still manage scouts and more with their three kiddos! They show me how to be the glue that binds when everything seems to be falling apart. I love that they only bond closer when times are tough. They just got into a new home in Henderson and I think a lovely family portrait is just what they deserve to make their house a home."</div><br /><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>Christy</b></span> was nominated by her neighbor. She says "I have a new neighbor who has a son my son's age, along with 2 other boys. They get together quite often to play and they are good friends. His mom, Christy, came over today to chat while the kids played. We got talking about Christmas and she mentioned that they are really struggling financially. To make a long story short, she is a waitress, only working 3 days a week and her husband is unemployed. She was even telling me today that her camera broke and so she hasn't been able to take pictures of her children for about a year because they can't afford a new camera. Well, that was when I thought of this giveaway and I knew I wanted to nominate her." </div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>Alex </b></span>was nominated by a friend. She says "Alex is a childhood friend of mine. She and her husband have two cute little kids together. Her husband was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago and is on his second round of treatment. The first time it went really well but within a month of stopping the cancer was back and had spread, so now they are starting over again. He's currently receiving treatment in California, but their family is here in Las Vegas. It's a big strain on their family to be apart. Alex is an amazing mom and has been somehow holding it all together and trying to keep everything "normal" for her kids, but they know something isn't right. She's just so upbeat and positive about the whole thing, even though the odds are really stacked against them and the possibility of a happy ending is pretty dismal. She could be a single mom just like that and it just kills me to think about how young she is. I just think that of all the people I know, family pictures would mean the world to them."</div><div><br /></div><div>You can vote twice.

We had spent the morning chatting with friends and were not too far from this fun location. Since his birthday was coming up, I said to my son, "Want to get your picture taken?" Surprisingly, he said yes. You never know with my kids. Often one of them will say no, which of course gets the rest of them saying no. We lasted about 5 minutes, plus I had other time constraints. And so his Fourth Birthday Portraits were made. Four years ago today, he was born into our family and was immediately welcomed by his older siblings. He is such a sweet boy and I am so glad I have him. He's looking awfully tall these days.... not a baby anymore... :(</div><div><br /></div><img src="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/longboard.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 527px;" border="0" alt="" /><a href="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/DSC_7809.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 465px;" src="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/DSC_7809.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>BTW I looooove his <a href="http://www.westmamadesigns.bigcartel.com/">Westmama Designs</a> shirt.

They had fostered other kiddos before, but Abby's situation was different. After a few months, their hopes for this baby turned toward adoption. This hope became a reality over the summer and Abby officially became part of their family. In August, Abby's family took her to a <a href="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/family-temple.jpg">Temple</a> of <a href="http://mormon.org/">the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints</a> where they were sealed to each other for time and all eternity. Their family relationship can now continue beyond death into eternity. Abby, we are so happy to have you in our family!! </div><img src="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/373029.jpg" border="0" alt="" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 700px; height: 465px; " />There is a pretty cool story about how Abby got her name. The social worker had called and asked if my brother & sister-in-law were willing to take a baby boy. Having three girls already, they were kind of hoping for a boy, so of course they said yes. A little while later the social worker called back and said "I'm sorry, I was mistaken, it's a baby girl. Do you still want her?" My SIL said "yes, of course." Then she called my BIL and said "it's a girl." He got real quiet, which made her worry. He got quiet because he was thinking. He had just read <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Peacegiver-Christ-Offers-Hearts-Homes/dp/1590382234/ref=sr_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1318309031&sr=1-5">The Peacegiver</a> which features the story of Abigail & David (<a href="http://lds.org/scriptures/ot/1-sam/25.18?lang=eng#17">1 Samuel 25</a>) and had the thought 'if we have another girl in our family, her name should be Abigail.' And so, they welcomed this baby girl into their homes, and when she was officially adopted they named her Abigail.<br /><div><a href="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/family-temple.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="text-align: left;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 700px; height: 527px; " src="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/family-temple.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/baby-black--white.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 527px;" src="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/baby-black--white.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/373015.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 465px;" src="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/373015.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/373022.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 465px;" src="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/373022.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>The sisters!<br /><a href="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/373011.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 465px;" src="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/373011.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>I love how the family hands are creating a safe place for Abbey's hand, a protection.<br /><a href="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/temple.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 527px;" src="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/temple.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div>Jessica B Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13515694480436375848noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7738758554265385779.post-89540985464479144152011-10-04T13:18:00.000-07:002011-10-04T13:43:24.452-07:00Rockin' the Car Show<div style="text-align: left;">Would you believe Miss Amelia was not too happy about getting her portrait made?

Adrian just turned one and the setting was just perfect. The balloons have a bit of an <a href="http://adisney.go.com/disneyvideos/animatedfilms/up/">Up!</a> feeling to them and and a bit of a "watch me grow" feeling as well. I love Adrian's look of wonder as he rides the Carousel and the paradox of how big he is, yet how small he still is - again the feeling of "watch me grow".<a href="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/carousel-details.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 527px;" src="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/carousel-details.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><img src="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/381012.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 465px;" border="0" alt="" /><a href="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/381015BW.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 465px;" src="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/381015BW.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/carousel-first-birthday.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 527px;" src="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/carousel-first-birthday.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/first-birthday-carousel.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 527px;" src="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/first-birthday-carousel.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/381005.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 450px; height: 677px;" src="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/381005.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Also, a word on wardrobe. People often ask what to wear. I answer "something that you like, that fits you good, and coordinate with each other (if it is a family or couple shot)." We've come a long way from the '90s where everyone wore matching shirts. I think a lot of people are afraid of being "matchy-matchy" and "twinners" that they run in the opposite direction and end up completely not coordintating at all. I'd like you to notice Victoria's choice of wardrobe. The orange on Adrian's sweater vest matches her dress, and the lighter blue stripes match Manny's shirt. Because everything else is solid blocks of color, the design on Victoria's dress is a welcome sight - it's very pretty! - and not distracting at all. Her accessories - her necklace & earrings - are just the right touch. And the balloons (although not exactly the same orange) also coordinate well. Well done, Victoria!! So, to everyone reading this, you don't have be twins, but it is very lovely to coordinate! :)<br /><img src="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/381026.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 465px;" border="0" alt="" /><a href="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/381033.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 465px;" src="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/381033.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/381037BW.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 465px;" src="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/381037BW.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/381031BW.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 465px;" src="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/381031BW.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />And don't forget to submit your entry for the <a href="http://withoutaplace.blogspot.com/2011/09/very-giving-giveaway.html">Giveaway</a>!!Jessica B Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13515694480436375848noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7738758554265385779.post-56312606707293185882011-09-23T13:17:00.000-07:002011-09-26T13:23:38.018-07:00A Very Giving Giveaway<div style="text-align: left;">It's the First Day of Autumn, the Autumnal Equinox, the First Day of the Harvest, and to me that means the First Day of the Giving Season. Sure, some stores have had Christmas and other holidays on the shelves for a week or two, but now is when people really start looking forward to Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, etc. And although it's 100 degrees today in Southern Nevada, Fall is in the air.... somewhere.... it's there, I know it's there! And so, to kick it all off, I'm having a GIVEAWAY! A very special giveaway, a GIVING giveaway. You see, you can't win this for yourself. You win it for someone else.</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "></span><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div>How it works:</div><div><br /></div><div>Phase 1: You nominate someone to win. You send me an email (jess @ jessicabphotography . com) telling me about someone who you feel deserves to win a portrait session with me. This could be a "mother of the year" PTA soccer mom, a hardworking family that is trying to survive this economy, a cancer fighter, etc, etc, the possibilities are limitless as we are all unique. Pick someone who inspires you! Include as much detail as you would like in your story - it just may be the thing that helps your nominee win! Submissions will be accepted until October 23, 2011. And BTW there are no geographical restraints - I like to travel ;)</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "></span><div><br /></div><div>Phase 2: A panel of lovely judges will have the daunting task of narrowing down the choices to a small handful of final nominees. Public voting will take place on Facebook and on this blog. Winner will be announced November 25, 2011 - the day after Thanksgiving.</div><div><br /></div><div>Spread the word about the Giveaway! Someone just might nominate you ;)</div><div><br /></div><div>This giveaway is inspired by a previous giveaway I ran, in which three people who were trying to win volunteered their entries for someone whom they thought deserved it more than they did.

Some siblings tease each other. Others don't even want to stand next to each other. I immediately noticed how *quiet* these kids were. But then as I was photographing I could hear them whispering things to make each other laugh. And then... as the kiddos were sitting for a nice portrait... the girls leaned over and gave their brother kisses on the cheeks!! I didn't expect it, but I love it!!! So fun!<br /><a href="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/379032V.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 465px;" src="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/379032V.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/379033V.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 465px;" src="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/379033V.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><img src="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/379035V.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 465px;" border="0" alt="" />Sigh.

Well, I guess that's what happens when you have fabulous sessions. Carla & Colleen's mom had been planning this session for months. She said, "It's their birthdays, and I want to do a really fun portrait session." She took the girls shopping and they shopped and shopped and shopped. The shoes, the dresses, the hair, even the pedicures! This is the kind of planning that portrait sessions deserve!!! And let's not for get the "props." These are some talented girls and their mom wanted to highlight those talents as well.

August was a bit of a busy month and with the kids home all day, my work hours were very limited. So since school has officially started, I can get back into the groove!</div><div>
<br /></div><div></div><div>This is Nikki's third birth, but first homebirth. Her second daughter was born quite fast, and so of course we all expected another quick birth, but you never can plan these things! I got a phone call around 11:00pm. The midwives and I stayed with Nikki and her family through the night. By morning we knew everyone, most importantly Nikki, needed some rest. And so I was called back around noon that day, and a few hours later Nikki had herself another girl! And Nikki has given them each a name of a Queen, which I think is very fun. </div><a href="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/08190144.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 465px;" src="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/08190144.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>I thought it very appropriate to have these two figurines in the bedroom.

Homebirth at the Neighbor's House! {Las Vegas Birth Photographer}So, I like surprises and I think it's fun to not find out what the baby's gender is until the birth day. For the last few of my children, I've wanted to put out a big bouquet of pink or blue balloons. But I didn't ever really plan it so when it came down to it, I didn't ask anyone to run to the store and buy balloons for me ('cuz I sure wasn't going to!!) so I've never made the "yard announcement" I've wanted to. But Heather and Jared did! And wow, it was a good one!!! After three boys and a nine year gap, <a href="http://withoutaplace.blogspot.com/2011/08/nine-months-of-waiting.html">Heather</a> gave birth to a precious baby girl!<a href="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/121549.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 465px;" src="http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u355/withoutaplace/121549.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Now, Heather actually had gotten an ultrasound and she knew the baby was a girl, but Jared didn't want to know. So Heather kept this fantastic secret to herself (ok, and maybe a few others). She did go shopping though, so they would be prepared with lots of PINK, and she hid it underneath the green (read: neutral color) blankets in the drawer! LOL!
