Jocelyn K Brown Photography bio picture

about me

thanks for stopping by jocelyn k brown photography. sit & stay awhile. maybe drink your coffee or enjoy your diet coke like me. like all things... this is just bits and pieces of me. i like to keep things spontaneous- free and open. oh, and i also like typing in all lower cases. photography is a new journey for me and i must say.. it's a beautiful one.

enjoy! 

jocelyn


beautiful life

not just because they are all gorgeous and have the perfect accessories, but because they really LOVE, LIKE & ADORE eachother. now, the perfect accessories don’t hurt so much either. wow. it’s no wonder that maggie owns THIS most perfect shop in newport,wa. (i’m in love with most everything i’ve seen in that store especially the wooden block letter signs). can i also say this was the easiest session to edit. i didn’t add any actions- do anything to skin or eyes. i just had to boost the color a bit because we were completely fogged in on the beach- and the lighting was super low. made me realize how much i love simple photography and how totally over i’m becoming with over-edited stuff. the real deal is the best deal. enjoy!

August 24, 2010 - 3:52 pm heather - Are they JCrew models? If not, they should be - what an amazing looking family, so cute. Love these images, looks like the perfect day!

August 24, 2010 - 8:29 pm Nisha - i adore this family! they are as sweet and loving as they are gorgeous and, as always jocelyn, you capture them perfectly. i'm speechless.

August 24, 2010 - 10:26 pm meghan - oh i love these!! love all their outfits. I want that little girl's hair.

August 25, 2010 - 6:13 am lissa - These turned out amazing! Love the way you captured them!

August 25, 2010 - 10:41 am Maggie - Oh my gosh Jocelyn...I really don't even know what to say...I have tears...I am so so thankful!! I just keep looking at them thinking "This is MY family!! I love them so much. You caught all of Caden and Norahs "looks".... "looks" that as their mom I know exactly what they are thinking...and also knowing as they grow older may disappear. It is such a gift you give to us to be able to cherish forever! Thank you for sharing in these moments...You are amazing!

August 25, 2010 - 11:40 am sundi - Those people are naturally great together. I liked the mothers comment about that you captured all there looks. I'm thinking it doesnt get more perfect then to have those memories forever.

September 2, 2010 - 8:43 pm Leah Wright - I love these a whole lot my friend.

September 2, 2010 - 9:47 pm KM - My goodness. My first thought was Crew Cuts. Norah and Caden look like little models for J.Crew! Gorgeous pictures.

August 11, 2010 - 11:10 pm meg - Who is that? I want her.

August 12, 2010 - 5:33 pm meghan - ditto meg. i want her.

meghan + zeb: i do

there are days where things go perfectly. absolutely flawless. and emotions are free and love is overflowing. abundant and full. there are days when the sky is bluer than we’ve seen in some time & a simple little farm is the most gracious host. and there are days where you are in the place where you are meant to be. the place where you’ve been headed for quite some time. 7.24 was this kind of day. an epic day. meghan and zeb were married beneath a willow tree while their closest friends and family were witnesses to their union.

p.s. thank you meghan for sending me an email many many months ago wondering if (even though i said i didn’t do weddings) if i might be interested. you opened my eyes. thank you.

i’ve always thought meg was gorgeous. i love her unusual eye color- her dimples and she has a body all us girls would die over. but on her wedding day, she surpassed anything i’ve ever thought of her. she looked absolutely stunning

i died over her shoes. that bright pop of color? amazing. and i loved the contrast of her fancy(ish) shoe with my old wooden chair.

M+Z Wedding 211

the first look took place under a 100+ old willow tree on the farm. its branches were like welcoming arms. and once under the canopy of the tree.. something magical really happened. it was the perfect place for meg and zeb’s first look. it couldn’t have been anywhere else.

who doesn’t love an arm full of kiddos?

M+Z Wedding 1089sig

i remember when i got married.. i knew i did not want just a row of us girls holding our bouquets and smiling for the camera & i hoped meg felt the same way. once i knew the girls were wearing boots.. i knew i wanted a shot of them on some sort of fence and lucky us! there was the most perfect fence. i really love the way the bridal party shots came out. we did em fast but had so much fun and managed to only have one real ‘traditional’ shot.

i told the boys ‘ok, lets do a jumping shot’. i’d say all but 1 was happy about that. i love zeb’s face and the two guys on the outside? sweeeeet. look at those kicks. that’s what i’m talking about. i showed the girls the boys jumping shots and that’s how their’s came to be. they said ‘we want a jumping shot!’

you know, every wedding is so different because everyone’s emotions are different. i LOVED that meghan and zeb were giddy and excited. NOT nervous. just so damn happy to have this day. that’s something i’ll remember big time about their wedding.  this shot of meg’s face as she is first seeing her crowd… spells the whole day out i think.

before things really got going at the hoedown, zeb took a few minutes to say a prayer. and i think you can see by both their expressions how thankful and truly blessed they feel. pretty sweet.

August 10, 2010 - 3:17 pm Katy - Just when I think I can't love your next photo session any more than the one before I see this. So truly perfect! You captured it all so beautifully! I mean really...these are award winning...the best I've ever seen from you. EVER! She will love them and you better just quit your other job Joc because you are getting good. Really good!!!

August 10, 2010 - 3:58 pm meghan - i'm crying at work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Joc, seriously. Tears rolling down my face. love them. love them so much. you were such a huge part of that day. knowing all my little faces and i love that you know me so well without really knowing me. does that make sense?!?! thank you for capturing our day. for capturing all the love. tears. laughs. you are awesome. i can totally feel the love in the pictures. xoxo and more xoox

August 10, 2010 - 4:23 pm shawna - Beautiful work, Jocelyn! Looks like such a fun wedding!

August 10, 2010 - 7:21 pm Tanya - AMAZING. You captured the day so perfectly. Megz really is a beautiful bride (and just all around person). Thanks for sharing her light and the Blalock love. Much enjoyed!

August 10, 2010 - 7:28 pm sundi - I do NOT blame you for making this long. How could you chose? Probably Better then anyone could have hoped for. I want my own personal copies but that might be a little creepy. It looked like a fantastic wedding and day!

August 11, 2010 - 6:36 am suz - Holy cow these are just amazing, perfect. xoxo!!

August 11, 2010 - 11:10 am heather - WOW! Each one is a total framer, these are amazing! You captured this special day for Meg/Zeb/Ari perfectly. Once again, you nailed it. :)

August 11, 2010 - 5:34 pm Natalie - THis is the perfect wedding. Perfect bride& Groom. Perfect wedding party. All the little details, Meghan should be a party planner or designer. Stunning.

August 11, 2010 - 11:14 pm meg - Speechless. Absolutely speechless. Tears streaming down my face, and I don't have words. After I talked to you about Meg's wedding you said to me 'it was totally magical'. And boy did you ever capture the magic. Your two styles compliment eachother perfectly. Looking at these made me want to get married all over again...and have it all scene through your eyes. And Mrs. Blalock, you are absolutely, out of this world, stunningly, gorgeous. Congrats to all! Ummm, JB, I'm thinking you are ready for a Vanity Fair spread...and I will be your first assistant. I promise to not be as bossy as Bennett.

August 12, 2010 - 10:01 am Brooke - Joc - WOW. I hope you gave yourself a giant hug/kiss/Irish car bomb. You done good girl. VERY good. Weird that I want to frame some of those photos. (Yes, that is weird.) Meg - I cried. I cried and then I called Kuba and told him we were renewing our vows, in Fall City, on a farm, in your dress. Granted, I'd have to take 8 years of Barre 3 to ever look as stunning as you did on your day, but seriously, I regret not crashing the.wedding.and.party.of.the.year. Everyone/thing looked absolutely perfect. A giant Congrats!!!

August 14, 2010 - 12:18 am Julie - Good lord, Jocelyn. You are SO good at this! Smart move, Meghan, in pushing this gal to take shots of your wedding. I'm sure it can be nerve wracking to shoot a wedding if you haven't done it before, but geez Joc, you are setting the camera on fire. This is one of the most gorgeous weddings with some of the most beautiful people I've ever seen. And, um, how beautiful is your daughter! Jocelyn, you truly have a gift. Keep sharing it, honey. You gift us all with some extraordinary memories.

August 18, 2010 - 1:15 pm Agnes Tasca - Meghan/Jocelyn, I started to get emotional at work, maybe it's these preg hormones, but still, really with these pics???!! Meghan, Jocelyn really caught something special in each one of these, I'm so happy you have these moments captured to cherish forever. They are amazing and you looked beautiful :)

September 2, 2010 - 9:50 pm KM - Holy Moley, Joc! These are absoletely beautiful pictures. Incredible!

karen + jo: peek

these two, amidst candles and twinkling lights, on an august rainy night.. committed themselves to eachother in front of their families and closest friends….

& gasworks park and downtown seattle were suppose to be our backdrop, but the rain dictated otherwise. so we found the prettiest blue wall.

more coming soon of karen + jo’s wedding

freeberg wedding: peek

i think i always go for the laughing shots & now that i’m getting into wedding… i love the ‘first looks’. and i loved this shot of kelly with her head thrown back. it was an amazing wedding & i loved being a part of it. i thought i was a do it yourselfer..well, this couple had their wedding in their backyard! 38 guests – family only. and it couldn’t have been more intimate and special. but then.. we rolled to the reception to meet up with all their friends and family and these people know how to party. so fun to see both sides to kelly and jake.  more coming… soon? ok. not as soon you’d like but soon.

August 1, 2010 - 12:49 pm sandie brown - Now I remember their engagement photos which I loved - she is very photogenic. His black suit/tux with the red flower is a great contrast to her white dress and gorgeous red hair. The diffused greenery and flowers are a great backdrop.

July 30, 2010 - 5:49 pm Katy - Can't wait to see the rest...love those 2 kids together. Gorgeous children for sure and their outfits are lovely. I agree that your best (this applies for all of us)...happens when you are confident with what you are doing and who you are. Without trying to impress anyone else your own beauty shines the brightest.

July 31, 2010 - 9:48 am meg - Wow. Sometimes people just nail it...and sometimes you just nail it too. These could be in a magazine. I always feel like the least amount of effort makes the best pics. And these kiddos look absolutely perfect.

August 6, 2010 - 12:49 pm Nisha - Ridiculously cute family. I love them and can't wait to see more!

little girl love

we rolled into georgetown around 7:30 am… having planned this time months in advance.. thinking that in july… it was bound to be super sunny. um. it was anything but. it was grey & super cold. poor little madeline’s lip were blueish.. but we made the best of it. running around an empty parking lot- scouring the train tracks for salvaged metal for kip…. and finding a big empty box and playing house. i shot this family when little allie was still tucked inside lis last year. so fun to see growing families. i am always so pleasantly surprised at how the newest additions fit in so seamlessly… and this little allie is no exception. she is madeline’s opposite & the two together are pretty dang cute. i love their round little faces & bright bright blue eyes. enjoy!  d&d13

July 30, 2010 - 9:33 am lis - Love them all. Thank you! Totally just remembered that I shoved Allie's flip-flop down my shirt in the picture with us swinging Maddie.

July 30, 2010 - 11:15 am Katie - great pics! LOVE the ones with the box/grafitti in the background...

July 30, 2010 - 5:46 pm Katy - Oh my goodness girl...you are fantastico!!!

July 31, 2010 - 9:53 am meg - Okay, kind of got a thing for these two gals...so maybe a little biased when I say I love them all (and their parents are kinda cute too). Favorites are you looking down and Baby Allie, the family in the box (LOVE the graffiti in the background...so hip), the four of them with K & L kissing and Mads looking up at the balloon, and last, Mads sitting on the little stool. Oh, and I LOVE the ones of Kipper and Al and Lis and Al. Bravo.

August 1, 2010 - 10:50 am sandie brown - Just perfect....what pretty blue eyes the baby has. Your style shines thru..

she is as happy as she is cute

i think when you see a little one this happy, you just know the parents must be doing something right. enjoy olivia, just one month shy of her first birthday.
