Sunday Ramblings…

Posted by on Apr 18, 2010 in From Jenn | Comments Off Good Sunday morning to you!

In a little while I’m going to be headed out the door to two engagement sessions with two awesome couples! But I...

Blackhawk Photography Group

Posted by on Apr 15, 2010 in From Jenn | Comments Off One of the things I love doing is getting to know other photographers, and I am fortunate enough to attend a church in Madison that has a whole group of them! We get together once a month to review photos and work on our skillz. (Yes, skillz with a “z” – yes, I know I’m a nerd) This month we were working on stopping motion – how to convey in a still photograph...

Vote For Me!

Posted by on Apr 15, 2010 in From Jenn | Comments Off I would never be one to try and beg (vote for me), or plead (vote for me). Or bombard Facebook with messages and status updates (vote for me). I won’t tweet four times a day (vote for me), or I would never think of using my blog as a means of winning your vote (did I mention vote for me?). Many of you many have read my blog post on “19 Frames”, a photo challenge I entered...

Birthday Hiking

Posted by on Apr 13, 2010 in From Jenn | 2 comments It was my birthday on Sunday, and thanks in part to all of your well wishes and Happy Birthday’s I had a great day! One of the things I am aiming to do this summer is to spend more time in the outdoors. To soak up a few more rays of sun and spend a little more time in front of a campfire under the open skies. So, when it came to what I wanted to do for my birthday, I knew I wanted...

Nineteen Frames Challenge

Posted by on Apr 7, 2010 in From Jenn | 7 comments As you all know, I love to blog read and another one of my favorite photographers to follow is the Youngrens, a husband/wife team from San Diego. Recently they took a vacation and Jeff happened upon this desert beach resort (insert photographer flip out here), and realized he only had room for 19 pictures on his memory card. You can read more about his adventure here (and add them to your...

Photo Friday! 365 Photo Project

Posted by on Mar 26, 2010 in From Jenn | Comments Off Between the laundry, unpacking, vacation photo uploading, and catching up over this past week, I have been terrible at my take a photo a day project! In fact, this is the only photo I’ve taken since Sunday! We grilled out on Tuesday night when the highs were in the mid 60′s, and Edie was out in the yard soaking up some sun. So, I start new today and promise to get back on track...

Puerto Vallerta – Mexico Trip

Posted by on Mar 25, 2010 in From Jenn | 4 comments Well, we made it back home safe and sound, and had great time in Mexico! We have been taking the beginning of this week to get caught up and back to the real world – including adjusting for Daylight Savings time. Mexico does not observe it until April 1st, so we were on “old time” until we got back. It’s amazing how just one hour can throw your body off so...
