I have taken lots of pics of Keegan in the past couple days that I love...can't wait to share them!!
I totally forgot today (yesterday~Saturday) was his half birthday. I usually like to do something a little special...but I think he had a good day anyway. =)

By the way, best workshop ever, GO SIGN UP FOR LOVE AFFAIR! Seriously...it is worth the dough guys! Especially if you are in your first year of business or in a slump from years of business!

Oh how I wish I could post pictures. Actually. I probably can with a lot of effort...but I'd rather wait to show you my latest snazzy wedding pics on my snazzy new in-progress blog. Yup, soooo close.

But now, I'm off to stay up all night to finish a wedding (or two?!). Or to just plain get some things done!

Grace and peace,
Jackie

Mobile Photo Monday

I have been wanting to do this special feature on my blog for awhile lately, and I have wanting to share my iPhone pictures as well, so it seemed only natural to do mobile photo Monday! Check out all the tons of pics I have been taking lately, click to enlarge:

{At the Detroit Zoo Sunday with Keegan, Elephant ears, and flipping seals }

{Various sunsets and looming storms }

{Keegan moments...walking into my room finding all his toys lined up on my bed with my purse }

{ More Keegan moments, with Gavin, and John with his pet squirrel I named Scrappy }

{ Its a jeep thing, Fun with light in a tunnel, ikea, boat night, downtown Detroit }

{ More traveling randoms, Indiana, Ann Arbor, and a weekend of several vintage cars on the road}

Hope you enjoyed that!

4th of July Week {PART 1}

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 15:42:21 GMT

Last week we had some family come over to visit and I grabbed my camera real quick for a couple shots- I'm trying to be more pj {photojournalistic} with my own life and photos. Or at least to take pictures for myself and not only my clients...because really...thats what got me started! Anyway, here are some pics from our cookout last Monday, tune in later this week for some {disposable camera} pictures from the festivities on the 4th!

{My cousins Keith & Brenda with their dog Chloe}

{I thought she was such a sweet dog!}

{Keegan fancied her too}

{with my Uncle Dave & Aunt Marlene}

{Mans best friend}

{Still excited about the puppy}

{Cookout time! Keegan with papa}

{Riding his car-cars}

{Chattin on the porch}

{Too much fun}

{colorful chalk}

{playing peekabo with Brenda outside}

{colorful salad}

{Angel food cake...yum}

Keegan couldn't get enough of Chloe...I'm SO wanting a dog right now! Soon...very soon....

grace and peace,
Jackie

Just be {A BRIDE}

Leslie celebrated her upcoming wedding with a bridal shower recently in Troy. It was a party filled with lots of laughs, and lots of fun! I am looking forward to the wedding for this sweet couple in August!

{Her wedding colors are purple & gold...its a nice break from the many red weddings I have done!}

{Everyone was to be addressed by their title instead of their name...there was money at stake! Also...no leg crossing.}

{Soon to be Mrs.}

{One of the first games included two teams making wedding cakes out of white boxes and ribbons...it was quite competitive!}

{This is her mother}

{It was not hard to get a picture of this girl smiling...she was beaming!}

{Bridesmaids}

{She was so excited about every single present!}

{I LOVE this shot}

{As per tradition, her mom made her a hat from all the present ribbons...}

{I always find the sweet little toddlers...}

{CAKE! and...A house full of women means many shoes at the door!}

Leslie & Oscar~ looking forward to your wedding!

grace and peace,
Jackie

Downright Fabulous!

These are the rest of my pictures from the Love Affair workshop in NC. Millie, Davina, Lauren, and Kelly are doing another workshop in San Diego this fall. It changed me and my images for sure! A special thanks to Dustin for making me a blog logo action that I was too busy to figure out myself- I can now put my logo on the blog pictures in no time flat! Contact him if you are interested in getting one done for yourself- its a total timesaver.

Lets start with the gorgeous Cassie ..

{LOVE this one!}

{Can't go wrong with a white picket fence...}

{The awesome Casey & JT did a nice job posing for me on this one}

{Pretty sure this was practically unscripted!}

On to Justin & Mary who were kind enough to model for the day even though they have quite a few projects of their own...like the Portrait House.

{quite honestly one of my FAVORITES!...and most likely posed by Scarlett}

{I love the under-fluff of wedding dresses mixed with natural elements}

{Variation on a classic}

{and the classic which totally boosted my ego back in February}

{Mary looking gorg. as in gorgeous.}

{Some night shooting with Justin & Mary}

Alright, I'm off for a morning wedding at Twin Lakes in Rochester....!
grace & peace,

Jackie
