my newest nephew, baby Keaton

jonceemay — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 05:36:56 +0000

As some of you might know, I have been an Aunt for about 2 and a half years now and love it. Although I do not get to see my nephew as much as I would like. Well, I have been blessed to become an aunt again, and this time it is my brothers baby! ;) This little guy lives in Scottsbluff Nebraska, so I probably wont get to see him much either, but I was very happy that I got to go see him as a little baby! :) Isn’t he cute…baby spit-up ad all?!?

I could not resist taking this photo of him puking! haha! Dont worry little guy, I will show this to your girlfriends! :)

When warren and Kaylin got married they had people sign a trunk for their guestbook (a great idea for any brides that might be reading this.) we decided to incorporate the trunk into the newborn photos, and Im glad we did! I thin they are darling! ;)

As soon as I saw this next photo I knew that this baby was my brothers! Here is Keaton…

Here is Warren (at 3 months, not a newborn)…but I think we can safely say he is his dad’s child! :)

I love it when I can catch them smiling!

And we could not leave out mama and baby! ;)

This last photo is an example of why I try not to bring my son with me on shoots…he likes to add himself into others family photos…luckily this really is his family! ;) Right when I started to take the shot he jumped onto the bed and startled Keaton alittle and messed up the focus of the photo, but I think it is still cute! ;) Silly boy of mine.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Do you remember that days when you use to wait anxiously for the first snow? Remember when snow was an amazement, not just a inconvenience? Sure shoveling the driveway is a cold tedious chore, and driving is slowed down considerably, but snow is wonderful isnt it!?! :)

Today we took elijah out in the snow, and he helped his daddy build a snowman! It was not a big snowman, but it was still fun! :)

Elijah was having fun adding more and more snow to the snowmans head.

It gave the snowman a cone head! ;)

He really had alot of fun! I am so thankful that I can watch my son have fun and enjoy one of lives little wonders…SNOW! This holiday season I encourage you to go outside and let loose! Build a snowman, have a snowball fight, or go sledding! HAVE FUN! Enjoy this time with your kids, or by yourself, but just do it! You will be glad you did!

But Please, dont eat Yellow snow! :)

The Frost Family

jonceemay — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 23:53:34 +0000

I recently photographed the Frost family. They were the 100th fan on my facebook page and won a free session! I LOVE this family! I was so excited when Marsha won, because I happened to know her and her lovely husband from college. Now they have a cute little boy and let me tell you, the little boy is about a year younger than my son, and is a ball of energy. We decided to do the photos at Kathryn Albertson Park. When the Frosts arrived, the baby was sleeping, but as soon as he heard the sound of water he woke up!

Anyone that knows much about toddlers knows that if they wake up before they are ready…it is a TRAGEDY!!! They will be grumpy, they will cry, and they will be stubborn and want their way! ;) I know my son is like this!!! I have been mad several times at my dog for waking up Elijah during a nap. Marsha and Mike handled it like a pair of pros! Even though the little man was a little grouchy, we cod some great photos of him, picking flowers, running, and just being a boy!

And even though alot of the family photos with all three of them had an escapee like this: We figured out a way to get some family photos with them all it it! :) We just had to tie the little guy down on daddys shoulders!

Mike and Marsha~ Thanks for letting me take your photos and for being awesome patient parents! It was a lot of fun! I love the little guy’s personality and excitement for life! Im excited to get our boys together and watch them play! I hope you enjoy the photos! :) It was great to meet and photograph your extended family as well! :) I’ll make a separate post about them later! ;)

And just because I know my days have felt a little crazy lately, I will leave you all with this! IT IS OK TO CRY…sometimes! ;)

Newborn baby Girl – Boise newborn photographer

jonceemay — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 07:27:42 +0000

Happy Earth day Everyone! To celebrate earth day E-man and I rode our bikes to the park and met Paula and her two babies there. Paula’s older son, Marty, is around E-mans age, so they played and got good and tired, then we headed back to Paula’s house for a newborn shoot. Her in a car, and me on my bike (good thing they do not live far!)

When he got to her house, the boys were asleep, so we took some great pictures, unfortunately, my son did not sleep long. Now I know why I don’t take him with me on photo shoots!!! As much as I love him, he was making things very difficult! He made a huge mess of Paula’s living room while I, as she so lovingly put it, “played Barbie” with her little girl. Don’t worry, I cleaned up the mess…because, and this is an important lesson for Earth Day, “You should always leave things as you found them.”

And now…I give you…Baby Madeline!

This was her mom’s idea, and I love it. I may use it again for other babies!

Look how spoiled she is…she already has “Bling!”

And of corse we had to get one with mom:

Dad is a hard worker, so we are going to get some family pictures for them, with little Marty too, later. Right now they are trying to move, geting ready to travel and expecting Family from out of town to visit. All with a new born baby! Paula sure is brave! :)

J and J baby bump!

J and J are excitedly awaiting the birth of their first son! These two are fun people that will make excellent parents! I am excited to see the little one, cuz I am sure he will be adorable. I mean look at the parents, how can he not be cute!?!

Due to rainy weather all day, we decided to stay inside. I’m pretty sure the neighbors were wondering what the heck was going on as I walked into the house with rolls of fabric and lights and …

Not to mention that my dog was with me. (He goes everywhere with me and sits in the car while I do my thing, then we go to the park or walk or something to praise him for his excellent behavior!) They also have a dog, that looks very similar to mine, so we decided to let them play. Did I mention that it had been raining all day? Needless to say, the day resulted in muddy paws, a tired photographer, curious neighbors, and EXCELLENT PHOTOGRAPHS! :-)

Enjoy!

Really, I cant wait to see the new baby boy! He might be an easter baby, his due date is one day before Easter!!!

J and J, I will have the rest of your pictures up soon, I know you will like them!

Handpainting photographs

This may date me a little…but when I first started out in photography, digital cameras were just a very cool concept. As they slowly made their depute, they were crazy expensive, but soon became the norm, and film has almost became a lost art. This both saddens me and brings me joy. I have many fond memories of the darkroom, and nothing beats watching the image appear before your eyes. The darkroom is truly a whole other art. If you worked with film much you know that not only do you have to be a wiz at photography, ie fstop, aperture etc. but also at the processing in the darkroom. When I got my first digital camera, I was ecstatic, but a little leery. Now I don’t know what I would do without it!!! The convenience of being able to look and see if i got the image, or if you are squinting is amazing! And, though I still tip my hat to the darkroom talents of film, photoshop also requires a bit of talent!

I remember processing film, then getting out the paints, and painstakingly trying to match the colors and shadows and hi-lights correctly in order to get images like the following. Though it still requires a steady hand, Zoom is amazing, and the time to achieve striking images tike the following is cut in half, easily. Ok, I will stop babbleing about boring tecnical stuff and show you the pictures. After all, that is why you are here, right!?
