Monkeyface Photography Part 2: Maternity

Today's feature is the second part of my photo shoot with Heidi from Monkeyface Photography.  Sorry, no more cute baby photos for now!  But I had so much fun working on these displays and with these models.  We did some maternity shots, and I think they turned out great!  I wanted to create a more elegant scene in some with the chaise lounge and our chair.  While in others, you can see a relaxed picnic theme.  I tried to incorporate some item's you wouldn't see at a picnic shoot for an engagement session such as: children's books or a wagon.  Do you see the theme I am trying to incorporate here?  I enjoyed working with both of these models and am so grateful for them taking the time out of their hectic schedule to stand on their feet for a long while to work Heidi and myself on this project, thank you.  -J

Monkeyface Photography Collaboration Part 1

Hello!

Wedding season hits me and then it's go go go all summer long, and June is no exception!  I absolutely love it and wouldn't have it other way, but it takes me away from 2 things.  First, I end up with little time to post on the blog.  I am sorry, I promise to try and do better! Second, I don't have the opportunity as much as I would like to work with families in different stages of their lives other than marriage.  It was so nice to step outside of the box for a weekend and work with Heidi from Monkeyface Photography on two different photo shoots.

Today I am featuring our shoot focused on newborns.  I wanted to showcase some of the fun items we have that I have been dying to use with some darling babies!  ....I didn't buy an infant scale for a wedding you know!  The best part is I have plenty of inventory, and we didn't even use it all!  Don't you worry, I plan to do another newborn photo op. whenever I get the next chance!  So many ideas are spinning in my head now.  I hope this inspires you as much as it did me.  So get creative with our vintage pieces and tie them into your own special occasions and big moments in life; birth of a baby, a wedding, or whatever they may be!  .....Enjoy!

Brooklyn's 8th Birthday

It feels good to be back!  Long time no post my friends!  We are getting warmer weather here (sometimes...), and wedding buzz has been back in full swing! But instead of a post today on weddings (oh don't worry those are coming) we had a different photo shoot a few weeks ago.  Brooklyn turned 8 and wanted to celebrate with some photographs... and what better way than to pick some fun antiques to set the scene with right?  She was so much fun to work with.  I don't have the opportunity too often to work with someone that has so much energy and lets us know just what she wants to do!  She ran that shoot, and look how great it turned out!  I am not sure if you would get the same response from Brooklyn but if you ask me, I am pretty sure her favorite item was the gumball machine.... we finally had to take it away when she couldn't smile in the pictures, instead she had cheeks full of candy.  There were trails of candy all over that farm!  So here's to Brooklyn!  Happy 8th Birthday cute girl!  It was a pleasure to work with you!
