I am thinking this gal cannot take a bad picture….see for yourself!

Now, sometimes when taking pictures….well actually the majority of the time…..I am gonna ask you to do some stuff which may sound goofy….BUT it always leads to a laugh and though I may sound like a nut at the time, I get the shot I am wanting and then you are amazed at how the heck I got the shot…..SO all this is to warn those of you who will be booking me in the future … muh haha and then to tell you Miss C, not only are you fabulously gorgeous…..you are a total trooper! Thanks for making the session fun!

and have to post a quick one of little miss Sofie!

Romance + Love + Giveaway = HUGE Wedding Contest

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Okay, I am candidly going to admit how much of a sap I am. I love cheesy romance movies….you know the ones where you heart skips an extra beat when the characters realize they are made for each other . . . . *sigh* oh yeah….love it! Some of my fave chick flicks would be While You are Sleeping, Sweet Home Alabama, pretty much all of Meg Ryan’s classics, When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, oh gosh the list could go on really and as I ramble, I stray from the point that I am wanting to make! . . . wait …. wait…straying again ……Oh and the kiss . . . when they finally kiss…..*big sigh*

It was totally that way for my husband and I, well okay maybe not on the first kiss…..the first kiss was actually a bit of a disaster as I had no prior experience kissing a boy and here this guy comes in for the kill and all he gets is teeth and me laughing. Poor guy. Shoot even the 2nd and 3rd kiss weren’t fireworks either, ha! BUT the moment when we realized that we loved each other, that we couldn’t imagine spending our lives apart….it happened….we kissed and it was magical…shoot both of us were pretty amazed at how awesome that kiss was lol we talked about it for awhile after that…..hehe and 9 years later, my hearts still skips a beat when he kisses me…………I love him so much :)

All this to say, I love shooting weddings, I love shooting engagements. I think it is the coolest thing to hear couple’s stories of how they met each other and to be able to a part of one of the biggest days of their lives.

So…here is the deal. I want to hear your story. For the month of August, I want to read tons of stories…tell me how you met, why you love each other, and (oh yeah, here is the kicker!), I want you to tell me why you deserve a FREE wedding photographer….Yep, that’s right I said FREE. I am going to read all the stories that are submitted to me and I will choose a few of my favorites and then the public (that is my blog readers) will decide who will win.

Grand Prize – Jean Photography shooting your wedding for free AND you also get a DVD of a rough estimate of 400-500 High Resolution images that you can print to your hearts’ content. And with this nifty little grand prize, an engagement shoot as well with all the pictures on disc (approx.30). (est.$3600 value)

The Runner-Ups will receive FREE engagement sessions along with all images on disc. (approx.30) (est. $700 value)

This all begins August 1st………Please submit to jean@jeanphotography.coom

Oh gosh, don’t you love the stages of the 1st year! I went into get my lil’ man’s room and an awful odor overtook me as I walked closer to the crib……..I first glanced at him and he had brown stuff ALL around his mouth…then I proceeded to look and his hands were covered, his hair, legs, toes…..clothes, toys, blankets, and crib…….EW……..and as Ernest P. W. Would say “Eeeeewwwwwwww” so gross. I am not a big fan of poop and apparently my son decided to become one :P Here is a little share as I will be sharing more on another day of this little guy in the tub…..his sweet little eyelashes :)
