Operation '09-'10 Senior Sucker Passout: VANTAGE

Photobucket

VANTAGE HAS BEEN HIT BY THE SUCKER PASSOUT!

The Jones', The Pope's, and The Shalois'

I apologize from being absent from the blog for a while. I am blessed at how truly busy I have become, and when you add that it's FINALLY SUMMER (YAY!), I have been shuffling from the studio to ballgames, to cookouts, to birthday parties, to graduation parties, and shooting in there as well! :) My Senior Rush starts next week, and we have some exciting things coming up, and some big suprises in store for this summer. Stay Tuned!

First up to the bat, The Jones'...

Doug & Cindy are dear friends of ours. They have been my own personal cheerleaders in the making of this dream I call my business, and we could not imagine having them in our life. So when Caitlin (Their daughter) called me and said I want to do something special for mom, I was busting at the seams... It was a suprise :) Ihave been withholding this blog, but now that it is no longer a super suprise, I wanted to share some really special images with you.

This is my absolute favorite.. only because it's so them :) Plus, Cindy and I are usually laughing when we are around each other :)

Well, Hello :)

When Doug was a child, his Grandfather used to take him for rides on this very tractor. Adam is their first grandchild, and so Doug wanted a special image taken of Adam on that very special tractor.

Thank You, guys. I love you!

Next up, The Pope's...

When Emily and I were little, our family called us the "Tornado Twins". There was no room we couldn't destroy. We had our mouths washed out with soap together (I know, you can't believe this about me, can you?!), We used to tell people we were twins and our moms each took one of us, we prank called people from the pay phone at the local gas station, and we would beat people up for each other. Emily was the sister I never had, and I was the un-sister out of her sisters. We continue to have a bond that cannot be broken. I am blessed to have photographed her beautiful family when they were home a couple of weeks ago, and to have spent so much time with her. I am grateful for her to still be a big part of my life, even though she lives so far away.

And on deck, The Schalois Family...

I had the pleasure of meeting the Schalois for the first time during our last set of QuickTakes. Kase & Korbin, and their mom Teresa and I had so much fun! At the end of the session, Teresa scheduled a full family shoot, because her daughters would be home. This family is so gorgeous!

I loved their color coordination, very stylish!

Thank you Schalois family! Glad I got to spend my Saturday morning with all of you!

Jen & Chris... A Love Session

What a beautiful Saturday it was after a week of rain. It's days like that that make me want to spend my entire day behind a camera! How lucky was I to have Jen & Chris's Engagement to shoot...

Photobucket

I swear in a running for cutest couple, they are a sure bet!

The entire session, Chris just couldn't keep his eyes off of Jen. It was so sweet.

Summer QuickTakes announced...

For those of you who are calling and asking when the next QuickTake will be, I have it set on the calendar now. Drumroll please......

JULY 7th - JULY 17th
(no appointments on Sundays or Mondays of each week, due to our hours!)


I am only offering them for a week this time, because of how many Seniors I have (YAYYYY!!!!) in the Summer months. Get your call in NOW to schedule for this because I had to turn people away for Easter QuickTakes. They will be filling up fast! :) They will run as they did before, three 15 minute increments per hour, $20 per 15 minutes. Double Quicktakes are available this time as well: 30 minutes for $40.

The difference (other than time obviously) between QuickTakes and regular sessions is the amount of images to choose from. QuickTakes are limited to about 20-50 images to choose from, depending on how many people I am shooting. A regular session can yield up to 100-150 images on average. We will most definitely still be taking regular sessions at this time.

Give me a call (419.203.0889) or email: jtphotography@live.com to schedule an appointment!

P.S. Be on the lookout for our new marketing cards in area businesses soon!
