Week 31~Theme is Over/Under

I had to stand directly over this little cutie to get this shot!

Week 30~Theme is backlight

I didn't quite get backlight. It was more like blown light. It was a BAD time of day to do pictures...even in the shade!

Week 29~Theme is Shadows

Such a cute little guy! And there is a tiny shadow behind him!

Week 28

I'm going off theme for this week's photo! I wanted to share this beautiful couple from a shoot out I was a part of!

Week 27~Fireworks

One of my FAVORITE images from the fireworks show at Magnolia Motor Speedway!

Week 26/52~Water

Our dog, Bozo is crazy INSANE about water!!! He just loves it! So on occassion, we take him out to the river to wear him outand throw rocks for him to chase! He's a ton of fun when we go! He loves to swim with us :)

Week 25/52~Children

My good friend has some gorgeous children! They are pretty hard to photograph, but once you get a good image like this, you know it was worth waiting for!!!

Week 24/52~Reflections

I can see this photo being a reflection for these first time parents one day!

Week 23~Theme is Landscapes

I had this GREAT idea to write mine and my husbands name in the sand! Well, while I was trying to accomplish a great photo op, I got this photo of the ocean coming ashore, and decided to keep it, thought well I can add some words in there :) Here's my landscape photo!

Week 22~Red Hair

I had an AMAZING shoot with this girl. I LOVED her red hair! And she had SO many good photo's! Her mom is meeting me this weekend to order, and I am almost positive she'll have a hard time choosing ;)

Week 21~Theme is Emotive Portrait

Emotive Portrait was a tough one for me! So the photo I chose was me basking in the sun. It kept popping out at me, so hopefully it fits the theme!

Week 20~Theme is Vintage

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this image!!! I'm not sure it's Vintage-y enough, but it speaks vintage to me!

Week 19~Theme is Black and White

So for this week, I had a GREAT photo of this huge fish in this photo, but I can't find it. So I'm using this picture! It's very cute and funny! She didn't know what to think of this massive catfish! My son went fishing with his Paw Paw and they came back with this 35lb-ish fish!

Week 18~My Friend the College Graduate

This is one of my BEST friends, Marleno. She graduated college on Friday and I am SO proud of her. She is ALWAYS there for me, and our children have such a good relationship with each other. So it was no question in my mind that I would be there for her on Friday, and do some photo's of her graduation! And free of charge at that ;)

Week 17~Theme is Night

This week's theme was night, but I am in NO way good at pictures in the dark. On Fri, my friend Nicole was admitted to the hospital at 30 weeks pregnant. On late Saturday night she went into labor, and delivered her son 10 weeks premature when it was still dark out. He is doing well, but has many, many weeks in NICU ahead of him. The photo below is her in labor...she was in immense pain and not allowed an epidural!

Week 16~Theme is Eggs

This is what happens when 4 kids dye eggs with only 2 referee's!!! One or two will inevitably get dropped and therefore cracked! They had such a good time dying the eggs, so it was all worth it!!

Week 15~Theme is Smile

This weeks theme was no trouble at all, how hard is it to find a smile? So meet Kyliee, a sweet 3 year old who is ALWAYS smiling!

Week 14~Grass

So this weeks theme was grass. I don't have very flattering grass in my yard, but the field next to me is GORGEOUS with lots of green grass and wildflowers!

Week 13~Hands

Hands are a very important part of our bodies! And in little ones, thhey are oh so cute! Could you imagine not having one or both of your hands??? I got this capture Saturday morning while babysitting a friends baby. She is super sweet (and does have both hands) and a very busy baby! She was constantly picking stuff up and trying to taste it!

Week 12~Pets/Animals

I love, just absolutely LOVE animals!!! I could post a thousand pictures of my own animals! Lord knows I have plenty, plenty of pictures, and plenty of animals! LOL! But for last week's theme, the only animal who crossed my viewfinder was Chipper, my BFF's dog. He is a chiweenie (chihuahua/dachsund mix). He is super sweet and playful. He's almost aggravating, he's so dang playful, lol! Wednesday, we were attempting to do Carder's (newborn) photo's and Chipper LOVED the beanbag! It was hard to get a good photo though, because he kept jumping off when I tried to get a picture! And Sidenote...his ears are ALWAYS like this!

Week 11~Theme is Green

Time to play catch up :) A couple weeks ago, we went to visit Gabe in Texas. He is working there for the time being. The theme was green for project 52, and I ad a hard time picking something other than grass/tress, blah blah, lol! In the RV park Gabe was staying in, there was a cool green store...so this became this week's photo!

Week 10~Theme is Childhood Toys

Childhood Toys...hmmm, I have none of these from my own childhood. I really wish my mama had thought to save me one. I am definitely planning on saving some of my childrens toys :) Today, Addisyn fell asleep on our couch with a doll. Well, the one she had didn't have a stitch of clothing on so we traded them out with MY favorite doll...the cow print clothes doll :) It is such a sweet thing to capture, her sleeping all snuggled in with a baby doll!

Week 9~ Theme is Self Portrait

I cannot BEGIN to tell you how INCREDIBLY HARD it is to a self portrait!!! I could only do my face...I tried to do some half body shots, but could NEVER get ME in focus...it was always my background. So since I don't have a remote, yet (WILL be investing in one of those, lol) I had to be able to reach my handy dandy picture maker :) Hope you like!

PS...The last one....I started Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred a couple weeks ago! Although I haven't seen much decrease in my tummy (which is my biggest problem, literally lol) I am seeing GREAT improvement in my arms!!! I now have bumps!!!

Week 8~ New Camera

Aidan Addisyn, and I went to the park yesterday, to play with the park and play with my new camera!! Got some ok images, just need to figure out how to make them sharper!!!

Week 7~ Theme is Love

This weeks picture isn't the best by any means! I knew when the idea formed in my head it would be hard to pull off a stunning shot, so I went for the theme. My kids LOVE their Paw Paw! I cooked a cake that night (mon, Feb 14) and Aubrey and Aidan decided they wanted to do the frosting along with Paw Paw. They had a blast, were covered in chocolate, and even ate some :) I love them all to pieces!

Week ~ Theme is Breakfast

Huddle House. This is one thing I think of when I think of breakfast! It's so yummy! And such a rarity to see snow on our southern Huddle House ;)

Week 5~Theme is Phobia's

So this week I was going to try to figure how to capture my fear of heights on my camera. Then it started sleeting today and a new idea was formed. I DO NOT drive in ice, I hardly will drive on snow. It scares the crap out of me! (I am from and live in the south, you may or may not understand this!) So I (gasp) drove to this bridge to take a photo...the ice wasn't sticking to roads, yet anyway, but was sticking to bridges so I took these. I just wish I could figure out how to make them spectacular...I couldn't figure out a good edit :/

Week 4-Theme is Abstract

Oh my GOODNESS this was tough for me! I googled abstract online, and it was totally different than what I decided to go with! While I'm not totally sure this is *abstract,* I'm in LOVE with it!!! This is my 2 favorite guys wearing their favorite pair of shoes :)

Week 3~Jen's Maternity

Last Saturday, I went to Tuscaloosa to do images for my Bestest Friend Forever. We had a good day, although kind of long, and got a lot of good images. I would definitely love to do this more often! It was so much fun, and I could definitely use some more, ok ok... ALOT more practice, lol. This week I have played with my Photoshop a little bit, and below is a before and after image...I absolutely adore this shot!!! It is definitely magazine worthy, if I do say so myself ;)


~BEFORE~

~AFTER~

Week 2~Theme is Cold

We rarely ever get snow in Mississippi! And when we do get it, it either doesn't stick, or melts by midday! So imagine our surprise when it lasted for days! The family and I went out first thing Monday morning to play in it! We made a snowgirl (which daddy corrupted *rolls eyes*), we threw snowballs, and we done some makeshift sledding with a beach boogie board! All in all, it was a fabulous day! My favorite picture from that day was Aubrey feeding Aidan some fresh snow. You can't get any sweeter than this! (Their idea, not mine ;) )

Week 1~Theme is New

Here is week 1's photo! The theme was new. This is my brand new 50mm 1.8 lense I got for a Christmas gift. I've actually already had a lense like this, but it somehow got broken.
