Because life isn’t clearly defined…

Maybe all photos shouldn’t be tack sharp either…I kind of like life this way too – blurry and unpredictable but always heading somewhere!

Happy Thursday!

Julia & Jeff

3 April 2012

I had never spent time on the Air Force Academy base in Colorado Springs – nor had I had the privilege to be surrounded by so many men & women of honor as I did on March 24. The Captain & Mrs. Julia & Jeff tied the knot at the Air Force Cadet Chapel surrounded by close family and friends, whose service ties to the military run deep. It was a beautiful day to be a part of (and I’d be lying if I didn’t want to bust out in Top Gun theme songs all day long!)

Julia & Jeff – you’re pretty much amazing. I appreciate the sheer joy you seem to always exude and the downright honest kindness you share. Here’s to the ridiculous beauty that awaits your life together!

Welcome to the world Hattie Jane!

3 March 2012

Wow. What a week.  This past Monday morning – Matt and I were blessed with the birth of our second daughter – Hattie Jane.   She is beautiful and the world around us has stopped in her little perfectness.   The world just feels right.  There is just nothing more amazing than the birth of a baby – and I’m so grateful to all of you that have supported us as our family has grown!

As photographers, there is nothing I value more than real life captured in it’s real authenticity and beauty – as it happens.   My sister Katie was with us for Hattie’s birth to document the whole thing…I can’t imagine not having these photos 30 years from now – and as a new mom…the blur of it all during birth – I am forever grateful to Katie for these images in the slideshow below…

So much love,

Jenna

Emily

8 February 2012

One of the things I love most before a wedding is the calm before everyone arrives.  I love the energy of anticipation and the way a bride or groom often will just find a quiet place as they await the day.  Emily is such a sweet soul.   She is calm by nature – but I loved how she just grasped her tea and watched everyone else hurry around her.   She exuded contentment.  I had a roll of black and white film to finish up – so we took a few simple portraits in a series…this is the way “getting ready” was meant to be for Emily.

And as the day went on – here is just a tiny snippet…

Pat and Emily are so kind and genuine – and of course – they have AMAZING taste in music…

Cheers to a great week!

18 January 2012

“kill your tv. bake cake. drink tea. play a kazoo. choose handmade. love your town. sing. keep it wonky. barter & swap. write letters. make stuff. champion the underdog. grow your community. love all the people. live your life. be kind.” (aardvark manifesto 2010)
