Stillwagon holiday.

if the people that i know are great, it stand to reason that the people that THEY know are also pretty great. the Stillwagons were a referral from the Carter family, and i'm so grateful!*
these kids were a blast to hang out with.  we breezed through their shoot, with so many good ones i had a hard time narrowing their collection down! 
it was intended to be a sibling shoot, but they requested some with their mom - the sweetest! (since she was a little hesitant, i'll not share them here;)
merry christmas, Stillwagons!








*did you know that if you refer a friend, you'll get 20% off your next session? holiday special excluded. :)

carter holiday.

last weekend, i had some free time while visiting my hometown for a wedding. i'm so glad i was able to squeeze in three families! another bonus: it's always wonderful to see old friends. it had been ages since i had seen jane, and to meet her sweet, compliant kids (and husband;) was a treat.  
thank you, jane and kit!

gillespie holiday.

holiday mini-sessions are in full swing! thank you to everyone who has booked already.  if you're still considering it, you've got time, but spots are filling up! 

first up, the gillespie family.  if you remember, over the summer we did a family maternity session when stacey was pregnant.  well, little noah is here! he is just as precious and patient as could be.  (although markedly more content just being a dude than a reigndude. ;)
in the spirit of it not even being thanksgiving yet:  gobble gobble, gillespies!

gettin' lofty.

i recently began working with an incredibly talented interior designer here in Tampa.  Hopefully, this is the first of many spaces of hers that you'll see here.

This is a small glimpse of a masculine loft in the downtown Channelside district of the city.  I hope it inspires you as it has me!

designed by Mary Beth Courier, Oxford Design.



*i'll be updating the "interiors" portion of my website soon. :)

jingle jangle jingle.

i  know what you're thinking.  we're all thinking it.  HOW is it already november?! are we really about to close out another year? the speed that time has picked up is starting to get a little out of hand.  i mean, i can't even remember things as they come anymore! 

oh yeah, that's why i take photos.  (seriously. my memory is not to be relied on!)

with the holidays approaching, it's always a great time to document exactly how you feel, with those whom you love, right now.  to share with others, to tell a portion of your story, but mostly so that you never forget.  so...who's up for a holiday special?! 

just like last year, i'll be booking mini-sessions now through december at $75. 
 
christmas card? done.  gift for a grandparent? also a great idea. 
email me at jenlsmith@rocketmail.com for details and booking! 
hope to hear from you soon!
