Mental Blockage - Gainesville, Texas Children's Photographer

So just as I am finishing up the edits from a session I had with a awesome threesome of sisters and their cool Mom - I came to a mental block creativity wise. I usually have ideas soaring when I am making collages but after making a handful I totally had a mental block with their photos. I've since had a huge group session with a wonderful family and I am editing their photos waiting for inspiration to hit again but I thought I'd blog a few of the photos from the Orsburn Girls shoot meanwhile. ;)





As always, the full galleries can be seen on Facebook and MySpace.

This weekend I've got an engagement session and another newborn booked for the beginning of September and a two year old birthday session mid September. I am lucky to have such great clients and meeting new ones constantly! Until next time, with more - Captured by Jess....

Time Flies! - Ft Worth, Texas Children's Photographer

I can't believe the entire month of July went by and I didn't have time for ONE post! However, looking back on the month - my life was pretty crazy and my daily routine was severely changed when my Husband was hurt at work and has been home due to the injury. With all the dramas and regular life occurrences, it took me almost the whole month to complete a session from the very end of June. Bad, bad, bad Jess - I know! But, it's hard to be creative when life is throwing so many lemons your way. I think of each one of my photos as it's own piece of artwork. I like to take my time and make each photo special. Cranking out simple photos with little to no edits is just not my style. Why pay me to take your photos if they look like something you can do on your own? Exactly - you wouldn't. That's why they are each their own little piece of art. ;)

Anyways, speaking of my June session, here are some of my favorites from the shoot. As always you can find the full galleries at Facebook as well as MySpace!



August is looking to be pretty full (thankfully since my Husband is not working!!) - I've got to finish a session with three gorgeous little beauties and their Mom, a whole family tree session as well as an engagement session! I am also looking forward to photographing the auction winner from the session I donated to a friend who is trying to raise money for her father to have a heart transplant. I am happy to say that my session earned one of the largest amounts at the auction! Another exciting bit for later this month is that my little girl will be starting pre-k! I am going to miss her so much - I just wish I could sit in her class everyday and watch her silly antics! Oh to be a fly on in the wall in her classroom! ;)

More to come soon, I PROMISE! lol! I keep saying that-don't I! Well, I will have more time later this month when my baby is at school all day! ;)

Until next time, with more - Captured by Jess ...
