Life has been super busy in our family, and I don't want to miss a second of it!
Thanks for sticking with me...

{boring}
Yeah, I know... the blog has been super boring with only a post here and there lately!

{Ainsley: Newborn}
Even though little miss Ainsley had no intentions of going to sleep during our shoot, she was completely content. She literally didn't make a peep. I imagine having two older brothers makes you quite aware of what's going on around you! Lucky me gets to follow this sweet little girl for the next year, so keep your eye out for Ainsley's future shoots!
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

{Jan: Professional Headshots}
Jan is a writer. I am not. If I wanted to become a writer, I would contact Jan. I imagine I should have some writing talent before contacting her, but Jan helps aspiring writers realize and reach their goals. Pretty cool, huh? (Check her out here if you'd like to know more.) I was asked to do a shoot of more 'approachable' headshots for her website. She may be the most un-stuffy business woman I've ever met (Is that a word?) Either way, we had fun!
Enjoy!

If I'm honest, I will admit that there are times I post things to get a reaction. It may be to 'ruffle feathers' or in hopes to shine a positive light on me or my parenting, etc.
I've been thinking a lot about why I blog. And I think there's a lot of value in blogging.
In my particular case, it helps to showcase my photography so that my clients can see a preview of my work.
However, I believe I have a bit of a platform having a 'business-based' blog. People come to my website for photography, but hopefully will come across a post on Jesus, charity, parenting... things I'm passionate about. I've been praying about how I can stay true to my motives in blogging, and to not find my worth in the feedback people may leave (or not leave). With all of that in mind, I have decided to disable the 'Comments' section of my blog.
Please know that I still value your communication and if you have a question, concern, or simply want to dialogue, you can communicate via the 'Contact Me' tab.
I am continuing to pray that I post with intention: to provoke thought, creativity, passion, and ultimately reflect the goodness of my Savior.

Shanionie: Etsy Shop
It may seem silly, but I'm SO excited to have one of my photographs featured on a friend's Etsy shop.
My lovely little friend, Shannon, has broken out in the crochet world and is making some darling things. She customizes everything, so head on over and find something you can't live without (send her a message if you need something 'custom'). Check her out here: Shanionie- A Touch of Vintage.
While you're here, I'll sneak you a peak of adorable Hannah modeling the adorable hat! Quite the pair! wink!
**Disclaimer: This shoot was done while babysitting... a fun little shoot in my poorly-lit house!

{Fornek: First Trimester Shoot}
They have waited quite some time for this little miracle, so I couldn't have been more excited when Danielle and Adam asked me to shoot a maternity bundle for them. This is a totally new idea for JFP, but it was fun thinking of shots to 'build on' as the pregnancy goes along. Their other new addition, Lucy, (the golden retriever) was eager to jump into the session, so cute! Keep your eye out for more of this lovely little *growing* family!
Enjoy!

Taking Back SAHM
I have been craving my role as stay-at-home-mom (SAHM) for several months now.
Some moms tolerate this role, some love it, I thrive on it.
The fall months when JFP was so busy that I forgot we even had a washing machine, my heart longed to clean my house and bake bread with my favorite miniature guy. I missed being with Atticus during the day with my full attention (not waiting for nap-time so that I could edit). It's in the past month that I was reunited with the joy that a 21 month-old gets from playing with water (which he can now pronounce in the most hilarious way: "wa-or" rolling his 'R' like he's a native of Spain), stacking cans of beans, or even moving things from one place to another.
Late last week, I was sorting dry beans to prepare for a meal and Atticus became quite intrigued by what I was doing. After holding him up to the counter, 'swooshing' his hands through the beans, I could see on his face just much he was 'experiencing'. So we took the crock of beans into the living room and he played with them for easily twenty minutes. There's nothing like watching a child experience something for the first time... there's just this intrigue of the new feelings and the 'processing' of it all. LOVE!
