what you can’t see is her husband LT (out of the frame) telling her to think about jimmy kimmel’s christmas morning video.

so very excited to share this maternity session. so very, very, excited.

lily, new

most newborn sessions are captured within 10 days of life. this one.. was at 7 weeks. this is lily. and all her bits and pieces. all the things that as a mother, i know i’d never want to forget about my little one. and since this newborn stage is so very fleeting… it is so important to capture.

how these were taken well over a month ago, i have no idea. a favorite session of mine to date. jo is a co-worker of megan’s at children’s hospital and was one of my very first clients.. i took pictures of her, karen and her precious pup who is now in heaven. that was like 3+ years ago. my oh my. so much has changed. jo and karen are married (i photographed their wedding). they have a beautiful boy reed, and they now have a new pup-barley… the cutest dog. i wanted to nab her so bad. i couldn’t be happier for all of them. and i can’t help but think they must be doing something right.. because reed is on the happiest, most smiliest, most animated and fun little babies i’ve met. ever. he made me happy. for the entire day after i shot them. he was infectous. and so, i can’t help but think the proof is in the pudding. reed is one lucky little dude to have you as his momma’s. and you are both so lucky to have reed. but, i don’t think i need to tell you that. i love how very much you love your boy. enjoy

through my lens: 2011

Jocelyn — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 06:35:54 +0000

2011. you were grand. i grew my business…which still amazes me. to think that my little ‘this & that’ blog created this is pretty neat. i had so many repeat clients.. and i still can’t thank all of you for the growth of my business due largely to referrals… who am i kidding. 100% based on referrals. i don’t advertise. i don’t have a business card. i don’t plaster my sessions all over facebook. i don’t have a studio. i don’t have some fancy branding. it’s just me and my camera & it’s what i love. i love capturing people being themselves. props are cute- don’t get me wrong.. but it’s the interaction between people that i love. not the cute chair… or suitcase. and it’s when they aren’t posing and having a moment.. that i feel like i’m at my best. i like not knowing what is going to happen each time i meet a new client. it keeps things real. i struggled a bit this year with keeping true to myself versus current trends…- comparing my work to others. . and being genuine to my process and myself as a photographer. with the hot trend of dslr’s… and everyone knowing everyone’s business these days (blogs, facebook, instagram, pinterest etc)… i have to be honest. i have gotten annoyed with what i think are ‘copycat’ photographers. styling themselves to look like someone else’s work. hey, i’m not perfect. i’m just keeping it real. and i think what i’m going to focus on for my 2012 photography endeavors is to always be me. take the pictures that i would like on my photowall. i want to be inspired by others and be happy for others in their journey as well. photography is the part of me that is all heart. it is all me. my style. my angle. my view. my opinion. my eye. it is how i see you and so, i am flattered (beyond measure) that YOU have chosen me. and flattered BEYOND measure- when after our session- you send me an email and tell me you want to go grab a beer with me… or you can’t wait til our next session- because that means we connected. and while i may only have a small inner circle- i can tell you that my life is about real and true connections. and you, my client’s. are the real deal. thank you, thank you, thank you. 2011. you were grand. because of all of you. and to think this is just my part time job. phew. you kept me busy, and i’m eternally thankful. as a thank you… 15% off all full sessions for repeat client’s and 10% off mini sessions. please remind me at the time of booking, thank you!

8.5 months

in my eyes, he could not be any more perfect. i love every ounce of roundness on him. my boy is 8.5 months. can’t hardly believe it.

3 months, and some change

Jocelyn — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 06:05:57 +0000

at three months, you feel like you have known this little being your whole life… how is it that 3 months can seem like forever and also like nothing? this is my first session for the new year. i shot reese’s newborn session back in september (i seriously can’t even remember september)…. and am lucky enough to be a part of her entire first year. we are doing a first year package (the best!) she’s a beauty. part of me is kicking myself that these are in b/w because she has theeee prettiest blue eyes. but for some reason… these caught my eye in b/w.

dalebroux family mini session

Jocelyn — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 04:36:38 +0000

i don’t know how my client’s do it. they bring it. and they open up. and they seem to forget i’m slam bam in their faces… lots of times just inches away. lots of times making a fool of myself… maybe that’s what they are laughing at, huh. the dalebroux family comes from wisconsin… and are now living here in the PNW. not sure what it is about this fall/winter- but i have had more clients that aren’t from ‘here’.. and it has been so fun to chat about their ‘homes’. and the consensus is they love it here. and how could they not. especially with early december sunny days like this session. makes me proud to live here. hard to believe this was only a mini session. we covered a lot of ground, and little stella put on a little show full of all her expressions. she is a doll face with a personality bigger than most. i loved that about her. she was as sweet as sweet can be. enjoy the dalebroux family of three!

the month of december

Jocelyn — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 06:52:34 +0000

the thought of doing a whole christmas post was very daunting to me.. especially since i still need to do a new year’s post, plus so many sessions for 2011 still. yikes. so- i put a mishmash of our month of december up… it was lovely. so very, very, very lovely.
