Last week I got to photograph model Ashley. We went to Ybor city so we could get more of an urban look with her portraits. This time her hair was its natural curly self. Ybor has a lot of interesting spots to photograph.

New Postcards

Jen — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 21:29:56 +0000

So the time has come to design some new postcards! When I first start on creating any design, I always rely on the good ‘ol internets to find samples of the type of design I am going for. Admittedly, it was hard to find nice samples to go off of, but I like to see samples to come up with ideas for my own. Now that I have created my own promo pieces, I thought I could post them to hopefully help out any other photographers who need some ideas for designing their postcards or ads. The model postcard is to promote myself with models and modeling agencies. I love working with models, they are so easy to photograph for some reason. The other postcard is to promote my portrait side of my work. I plan on passing out around 500 of these at an expo I will be attending at the end of the month. Enjoy!

I love the background I created for this one. Be prepared to see more of that!

Ashley – Tampa Model Photography

Ashley is a Tampa Model who needed new pictures taken for her headshots and comp cards. She was so cute and funny, and always had a different smile for the camera.

I loved being able to work with a “woodsie” atmosphere where I could play with backlighting her with the sun to cause a nice warm tone.

Thanks, Ashley! I can’t wait to work with you again :)

Kristin & Rob

Jen — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 13:00:05 +0000

These guys were so much fun and down to earth! Rob loves comic books same as my husband and I, while Kristin had this spark that could light up a room a mile away! Their wedding was held at the beautiful Sunken Gardens in St. Petersburg, Florida, so there was a nice outdoor artsy flare that went along with the wedding. Not only that, but they were introduced at their reception to Star Wars’ Imperial March. That just says it all right there.

Jill & Ben

Jen — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:35:21 +0000

This beach wedding was an early morning event. When we started with portraits around 7:30am, I couldn’t believe that the guys were all ready to go, and the girls were running just on time! Ben is also from my home state of Ohio, so we had a lot to talk about. Jill was just full of smiles and laughter throughout the day!

It was so sweet to see how they were totally into each other when they saw each other before the ceremony.

They had this really cute candy table at the reception.

Thanks for making this early morning shoot so much fun and relaxed you guys!

Isabelle

Jen — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 01:45:10 +0000

Here are some baby portraits! Isabelle is a 3 month old cutie pie, daughter of a bride and groom who’s wedding I photographed last year. It was so fun to see them and work with them again in documenting a new chapter in their lives, and in the life of their new baby. I loved all the different faces she kept making.

I love this sweet moment I caught of daddy with his little girl…

More of their images are in the Portrait Gallery. Enjoy!

Kristina & Brett’s Wedding

Jen — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 01:35:52 +0000

Kristina and Brett were the most relaxed and easy going couple to work with! I photographed this wedding as a photojournalist with Alexis Photography so I was able to focus more on the detail shots, which I love.

butterfly rainforest part 2

More butterflies! Even though its wings were closed, this one still has beautiful markings.

Here is the same butterfly as I caught it during one of my attempts to get a shot of it with its wings open. You can see how fast it is!

Finally, I was able to catch a quick shot of it while it took a rest on this leaf.

I wanted to show the scale of this tiny butterfly by getting a shot of him next to this huge leaf!
