This whole photography thing for me started with my girls. Don't get me wrong, I've always taken photos (8 rolls of film on my honeymoon will attest to that... yes I've been married so long that my photos from the honeymoon and my wedding are on FILM) but I started really getting interested in taking better photos when my girls came along.
Actually, it was because of my girls that I started taking on clients. I got some compliments on my photos of my girls and had people ask if I would do their photos too and it's just grown from there. I'm lucky to have these two little cuties to practice on. They are both pretty cooperative with me when I need to get a few key shots. I couldn't resist photographing them in for Valentine's Day. Now to make a card to send out! (in my spare time!)
Get ready... Jeune Girl Photography in collaboration with Lyla's Lovelies Designs will be making a big announcement that any parent of a local girl (Dutchess & Ulster County, New York) does NOT want to miss.
I was lucky to have an opportunity to get a great deal on some canvases so I decided to order 6 of them for my own wall (all from my trip to Ireland) while 3 clients also joined me in this great deal. They all came out fabulous and I am confident that any client that decides to purchase one will be very pleased.
I am so proud to say that my photo (edited by my friend and awesome photographer Nick Sardino) was chosen as the photo of the day for colorinc labs. This photo (along with 5 others) will be a canvas on my wall very soon!
This shoot was actually scheduled 2 days ago and this mom was eager to try me out. I can't wait to work with her again. She is a crafty mom too... she designs adorable hair bows. You can friend her on Facebook (Lylas Lovelies) to find out more. I'm actually hoping to collaborate with her on some photo shoots this spring. She's got a built in model with Miss L... what a salesgirl for the bows! She's a walking advertisement. Her big brother is super cute too. Both had amazingly gorgeous baby blues! Definitely a great way to start out 2010.
I stumbled upon this great blog that runs weekly contests for photographers both amateur and professional (or somewhere in between).
Can't forget the all important disclaimer!
“I am submitting this photo into the I Heart Faces logo photo contest. By entering, I am granting I Heart Faces LLC permission to consider my photo for use in the marketing and promotion of their website.”
Happy New Year! I am happy to announce the merging of all of my creative arenas under one title: Jeune Girl Studio. "Studio" just encompasses all aspects of my business.... from scrapbooking to digital design and photography. In the coming weeks I will be working on a new website combining everything onto one page for easier navigation.
I have been scrapbooking for over 7 years to chronicle my daughters' lives and have turned my passion into my profession. Using photography, digital media, and raw materials, I strive to be as creative as possible in all areas.
Locally, I serve clients in New York's Hudson Valley while my crafts have been shipped worldwide.
