just for fun...

When we do couples, it's usually for an engagement or part of a bigger family session.  But this time around, we got to do this lovely couple who are coming up on 2 years of marriage...just because!  How fun is that?!  More couple should do this!  The snowy backdrop provided us for some stunning and classic black and white images. As we've said before...there is just something timeless about black and white.  Thanks "A&J" for making this such a fun session and for being up for anything!  Enjoy your sneak peek!

A Happy Packer Fan

Cute little "I" is a happy 1 year old  Packer fan...well at least his parents are.  We did a quick photoshoot before the game and I'm sure "I" went downstairs to celebrate a few Packer touchdowns later.  Just look at those big chocolate brown eyes.  They just get me every time, since it's genetically impossible for me to ever have a brown-eyed babe of my own. 

Happy birthday "I" and thanks for a fun photo shoot!

Mr. "L"

Mr. "L" was just shy of 2 weeks old when I got to take his pictures.  His mommy and I were good friends in high school, so we go way back, and it was so nice to catch up for a bit while we did his photos!  Once he felt the warmth and noise from the space heater, he was out cold and we got some great shots!  Thanks for letting me capture this sweet time in little "L's" life!  And so good to see you "B"!  Enjoy!

the "L" family

Ahhh...it's good to be back!  Like Jen said, we had a nice long break but are back into the swing of things for 2011, and boy did it feel good to get behind the camera again for such a fun family!  We had quite the winter wonderland of a day for the "L" family, but we just rolled with the punches and got some fun shots!  They were up for anything so that made our jobs that much easier!  Thanks "L" family for being so fun to work with! Enjoy your sneak peek!

Call off the search parties!

Call off the search parties! We've been found again. Around the holidays we've made a commitment to take a break from "work" and spend as much time with our families as possible. We've also been doing a little dreaming and planning about what we want J|S Photography to look like in this next year. Now if we can just find the time to do all that we'd like...let's just say a 4, 2-3 year olds, a 1 year old and an ALMOST 1 year old keep us a little busy! Check back for a few photos of our little munchkins...we took a little "adventure" this morning with them. But now we are back to shooting and are continuing the winter (and it definitely was winterish today) season with a beautiful couple awaiting their first little one. Some of you MN folk, may have issue with a few of the photos below...but I had to include them for you "J" :)

 

Can't wait to meet her "R "and "J"!!  Enjoy these last months of this stage of your parenting journey and we'll see you sooner than you will believe.

A Family Christmas

It's hard to believe the holiday season is already over for 2010, so I wanted to share a few of my favorites from the last family session of 2010!  The "C" family was all together for the holidays, so some all family photos were in order :)  "S" has been a friend of mine for almost 20 years, and I've had the privilege of taking pictures of her kids several times, so it was fun to get some of these family pics for her in-laws.  Thanks for letting me capture these for you!  Happy New Year!
