brrrrr

January 29, 2008

i love shooting outdoors no matter the weather, but the shootees have to be willing. well, this family was willing AND we had a blast! little andrew was pulling out his best smiles for me…but as you can see by the last picture…little ones call the shots and decide when it is just too cold to go on. it was so fun seeing you again!





and….little one is DONE!

[tiny size] sneak peak

January 22, 2008

sneak peaks galore! i just posted three separate posts, so please keep scrolling down to view all three sneak peaks.

let’s start with the tiniest of the three. she was so perfect and beautiful, but her mother had warned me she was feisty and/or sassy. she did get mad at me for disturbing her peace a couple of times throughout the session, but we pulled through with some great shots. we giggled as i took this first shot…she was even a “mad sleeper.”




[medium size] sneak peak

January 22, 2008

wow…can you just feel her personality seeping out of the pictures? what a funny, sweet little thing she was! of course, along with the personality comes all of the funny faces…i couldn’t help but giggle as i was going through her pictures!







[bigger size] sneak peak

January 22, 2008

this cutie was so much fun. the second he saw me, he announced “i’m shy of you” and turned on his heel and walked the other way. hmmm…i needed a serious game plan. after a few minutes of comparing facts about maps and yellow school buses, it seems he wanted to hang out and we became pretty good friends. enjoy your sneak peak!




WOW! over 200 votes came in…thank you so much to everyone who voted! without further delay, i give to you…your favorite image of 2007…

and in 2nd place…

congrats to the both of you! i will be contacting you shortly to give you the prize information.

i have so many pictures to share from recent sessions…i will start out with my three baby sessions from last week. honestly, my heart melts when i look at these three sweeties. aaaahhh…i love babies…



"bloglift" and a contest

January 10, 2008

i am back from my holiday vacation and excited for the new year! i have so many great pictures to share from over the holidays, but i thought it would be appropriate to first give my blog a facelift and start the year off with a contest.

this contest is a tribute to a wonderful 2007. i have chosen some of my favorite images from 2007…now let me tell you…this was not an easy task. so many wonderful people, so many great moments. but, these images stick out to me for one special reason or another.

so, sit back, browse through the images (i know, there are a lot), and pick your favorite. please email me at jean@jeansmithphotography.com with your vote. only one vote per person, but you can tell your family and friends to vote for you!

now here’s the good part. the winner will receive a mounted 11×14 of their image and a $50 credit toward a future session. the second place winner will receive a mounted 8×10 of their image. contest ends in one week…good luck!
