You're glasses are lookin' good

Luke so kindly "modeled" for me so that I could capture an image of me at Peter and Linzi's BBQ. Is that vain? I hope not. 'Cause, you see, this picture is fun. Get it? Got it? Great.

Hansen Wedding

This past weekend I had the privilege of flying out to Chicago to shoot the wedding of Peter Hansen and Linzi Cain. The whole weekend was amazing and I could not be any happier for the couple. I honestly can't say enough how much I love these two and admire them and their relationship for one another. Praise God that I got to be involved in such an excellent event!

Martzen Engagement Shoot

Sorry guys, it's been a long time and I've been lazy about this whole blogging thing. I guess I should pick up the pace. Anyways, I just shot some Engagement pictures for some friends and it was a quick, quick shoot because the sun was going down. Thank goodness for flashes and high ISO's enabling me to capture some nice exposures. Although it was fast, I had a great time. My dad came along and was my right hand man holding the flash. He's a great man.

Santa Monica Engagement Shoot

This couple... I gotta tell ya, they were so great and fun! I haven't actually edited anything but this one picture but I thought I should post it so you can join in on the fun-ness of it all. I tell ya, I wish every engagement shoot were this easy and enjoyable!

Flaming Generations

Okay, only one side of the generations but still, Grandpa, Son, Grandson.

Todd Flaming

A friend and neighbor since my life began. Todd's older sister was my best friend growing up so I've known this little guy since he was 3. Now, at 27, he's a man. So strange. I got to take pictures of him, his dad, and his grandpa together. We had a great time and I was so glad to be able to hangout for the short period of time. What a solid family.

Buczinski Wedding

So I was in this wedding and shot a few pictures for fun. Here are a few images that I love. I'll tell ya, the one of Stephanie is one of my favorites. She's so amazing.

It was such a great wedding. Simple, beautiful, and awesome! I loved being a part of it and I'm so thankful for both the Newbold and Buczinski families as well as all of our dear friends old and new.

Chris and Becky, I wish you the very best.

What precious children...

I love these kids. The week spent with them was overwhelming and awesome. Really, they are so great and easy to care for. It was just exhausting is all. But I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

The Office - Day 1

Been Up To

Well, I've been working hard, getting clients, creating presets for Lightroom, doing business stuff, keeping on my laundry, exercising, letting my neck and spine go so that now it's in the pinched nerve state. Dumb me.

Let me see though... what's new? JenniferEileen.com is all updated and fresh with my new logo. I have split my companies into two. Jennifer Eileen and Jennifer Eileen Imaging. I have to get working on my JEimaging website. I now have a place to post prints for people to view and order one or a ton of them. There is a link to the photocart inside my website. Um... I finally purchased my Fictitious Name Statement now I have to publish it and purchase my business license so I can open a business bank account.

I am traveling this weekend. Kind of dreading it due to the pain in my neck and upper back as well as gas prices and strain on my little Geo (who is a rockstar with 218,585 miles on it). I've been contemplating donating my vehicle for a tax write off and purchasing a different vehicle. What makes me nervous about that is the Geo's gas mileage is off the hook where another vehicle won't match that so I'll end up paying more for gas. But, a new car will have things that I'd like: a door handle so I can get in and out of my car much more easily, a radio so I won't have to carry around my trusty boombox, and lining on the ceiling that won't be drooping down. Gosh, those sound like good perks. But seriously, I can live with those things as long as I'm saving cash by not spending at the gas pumps.

Whatever.

Things are well. I'm learning, growing, being challenged daily, and looking forward to the wedding season to be up and running so I can start paying off my student loans!

Thanks Brooks for taking all my money for the next 30 years.
