Sneak Peek of Baby Luke {San Antonio family photographer}

Jana — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 21:37:27 +0000

The Simmons family have been great clients of mine for a couple of years now. This was our 4th session together and for this one I went to their beautiful home and shot some photos of their 7 month old son in the comfort of familiar surroundings. This is really the way to go when shooting infants! When he needed to nurse or be changed, we were right there where everything was handy & convenient which is really the way to go. We shot for about an hour till Daddy & the siblings returned home from the bookstore and it was time for me to be on my merry way which was more than enough time to grab some cute images of Baby Luke doing what he does best at 7 months……sit up, look cute, play & practice his pretend tummy swimming skills!

Stillwater Sneak Peek {Brown-Eyed Girl Photography}

It truly is a small world and recently something happened that made me realize that even more than I already did. I have a friend, a really sweet friend, whom I feel as if I already know and have spent countless hours with but in reality, we’ve never met in real life. We found each other online and very quickly discovered all the various things we have in common and over the years we’ve track of one another via flickr, Facebook & our blogs. Our biggest similarity is that Margo lives in Stillwater, OK which is where I used to live & where I went to college at Oklahoma State. Margo is also a photographer & she goes to church with a sweet couple who recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary and were going to be coming here to San Antonio to celebrate with their son, daughter & their families and they wanted a photographer to come to the resort where they were staying to take family photographs for them during their visit. They asked Margo if she knew of any photographers in San Antonio and she was sweet enough to send them my way and I truly enjoyed my time with them on that muggy July morning……I wanted to stay and spend the weekend with them at the lovely Hyatt Hill Country resort too!!

I’ve never seen so many lovely blue eyes in one place before!

Their son & his family…..

The happy couple with their son & daughter…….

Grandma & her little “Mini-Me!”

You’ve gotta love a family who breaks into a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors…..it came down to brother & sister competing!

A family who plays together, stays together!!

Meet Roxanne! {Schertz Senior Photographer}

Jana — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 16:37:45 +0000

First off, a BIG CONGRATS to all of the 2011 high school seniors! Graduation parties & ceremonies have come & gone and now it’s time to sort through all of the photos & memories and reminisce on a job well done. My oldest son also graduated this past weekend and it was quite the melancholy time for me……sad that he’ll be leaving the nest in a few months but grateful & happy that he was successful and has such a bright future ahead of him. Roxanne was my last senior session of the 2011 season. We had met up a month or so ago for part 1 of her session but at that time she didn’t have her letter jacket or cap & gown yet so we shot part 2 of her session on saturday morning in front of her high school which also happens to be the high school my youngest son will attend in 2 years. Congrats & best of luck to you, Roxanne……I see nothing but great things ahead for you!!!

Dixon Family Sneak Peeks!! {Schertz Family Photographer}

Jana — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 17:52:44 +0000

My husband and I spent 20 years in the military and it never gets any easier…….you make friends with another military family, you think they rock & inevitably one of you moves away shortly thereafter and this is the case w/the Dixon family. They go to my church and I recently attended a Bible study there w/Lori. We were in the same small group so we spent quite a bit of time together but I never happened to mention my photography business to her during that time. We subsequently became Facebook friends and I’m pretty sure that’s where she found out about what I do and she says, “Why didn’t you tell me??! I’m wanting family photos taken before we move to Germany this summer!” and the rest is history. Her oldest son is staying here in San Antonio to continue attending college so family photos will be especially important to her I’m guessing, I know how much mine mean to me and all of my boys are still here together under my roof (for a few more months anyway!). Dixon Family, I thank you for trusting me with these precious memories and I hope you enjoy your sneak peeks from that warm Saturday morning we spent together……

Sweet Baby Sneak Peeks! {San Antonio Family Photographer}

Jana — Mon, 16 May 2011 01:57:12 +0000

I spent a part of my lovely cool saturday morning taking family photos with the Wier family and I enjoyed my time with them SO much! They were a referral to me by my friend Shawna, it’s always such an honor when my friends trust their clients & friends with me. I always enjoy it when clients invite me to their homes for family photos because to me it makes the photographs even more meaningful & special when you see familar beloved backgrounds in the images. We spent the morning roaming around the home & property finding fun spots to take photos of sweet 6 month old baby Finn with his mommy & daddy. Thank GOODNESS for his grandparents & aunt who were also there to help me out in getting Finn’s attention & making him smile, they were troopers & such a blessing!! He was a happy baby all morning and such a little trooper for us…….enjoy your sneak peeks, Wier family!

Daddy’s little Mini Me who will be on the golf course with him before you know it!

I will MIA for a short while……I’m leaving on Thursday for a short trip to NYC. I’ve never been there before so I’m really excited to have my friend, Danielle, show me around so I can soak in all the sights & sounds of the Big Apple and take a bajillion photos!

Meet the White Family! {Cibolo Family Photographer}

Jana — Thu, 12 May 2011 13:34:37 +0000

I really enjoyed my time with the White Family. We met on some beautiful property in the Texas Hill Country close to Canyon Lake on a breezy friday evening for some family portraits. I was met by a cheerful nice man named Randy who proceeded to show me around his property & home and my mind immediately began racing with ideas & love for the scenery there. His land is such a fabulous place for his grandson, Randy Jr, to spend time and grow up (you can see in the first photo how dry things are around here since we’ve had no rain since February). They told me stories about how Randy Jr’s birthday is around Halloween so every year they hold his birthday party at his grandpa’s land where they have hay rides and all sorts of fun things set up and then Grandpa takes the boys to the back of the property to tell them stories. I just love stories & photo shoots like this. I love it that the land we shot on holds memories for this family, memories already gone and more wonderful memories to be made and I loved being there. Thank you for trusting me with your family portraits White Family, enjoy your sneak peeks!

Sneak Peeks for Bailee! {Cibolo Senior Photographer}

Jana — Sat, 23 Apr 2011 03:02:57 +0000

I’ve literally watched Bailee grow up into a beautiful young lady before my very eyes. Her family lived across the street from us when we first moved to Schertz and lived there until a few years ago but she goes to the same high school as my sons so I’ve watched her cheer at many football games and run into her family from time to time so I was thrilled when asked to take her senior portraits! She chose to go to New Braunfels for her session so we met there on a warm breezy Sunday morning and had fun walking around with her family & boyfriend taking photos and dodging oncoming trains!! Enjoy your sneak peeks, Bailee…….

Senior Sneak Peek for Caitlin! {Schertz Senior Photographer}

Jana — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 22:07:08 +0000

Caitlin’s mom found me by word of mouth through a friend, Robyn, and I’m so happy that she did. Robyn has been such a great friend & supporter of my business and to tell you the power of referrals, I just shot Robyn’s family session for the 2010 holidays and she’s ALREADY earned a free session for all the referrals she’s sent my way! All it takes is 3 friends who book & shoot a session with me and VOILA! A free session is your’s!! But back to Caitlin…….we met up on a warm windy sunday evening but she was super patient and worked it despite Mother Nature working against us. Way to rock it, Caitlin, hope you enjoy your sneak peeks!!

Meet Molly! {Schertz Senior Photographer}

Jana — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 23:40:27 +0000

I could’ve shot pictures of Molly literally all afternoon long despite the fact that we were nearly locked in at our first destination, found loads of construction equipment at the next one & then the weather went from cool & shady to warm & sunny all during her session as well! Thankfully she & her mom rolled with it and we had a great time despite our minor set-backs. Molly is dating one of my oldest son’s very best friends so he came along & I was able to take some photos of them together as some pictures of her with her sister & mother as well which is always a lot of fun. I love a girl who has a very clear path for her future as Molly does especially because she’s 18 and already knows exactly what she wants to do with her future and I’m in my 40s and am still not sure (too many choices!). Thank you for choosing me to take your senior pictures, Molly! I hope you enjoy your sneak peeks, can’t wait to show them all to you very soon!!

I easily could’ve posted ALL of Molly’s pics because she did such a fantastic job, it was hard to pick just a few! Thanks again, Molly! You’re a sweetie, inside & out.

If you’re still needing Senior Pics taken, we have only 2 more months to get them done. April is a very busy month for me & then my son is graduating this year as well so I will only be taking a limited number of sessions in May so I’ll be able to prepare & spend as much time with Ryan as possible his last month of school so don’t wait too much longer to book your session, otherwise it might be too late! Hope to hear from you soon!!

Wedding Sneak Peeks for Tiffany & Joel {Brown-Eyed Girl Photography}

Jana — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 21:25:52 +0000

I’ve been blessed to call Tiffany for many years now. Thinking back on it, I can’t even remember exactly when we met…….it just seems that as long as I’ve lived in this area she’s been my friend. It might’ve been through scrapbooking because wayyyyyyy back in the day we used to get together & scrap at her house or perhaps it was through baseball back when her oldest & my oldest played ball together? (Tiff, perhaps you can refresh my memory on this!) Regardless, we’ve managed to stay in touch through the years and meet up every now & then over coffee and catch up on things and I’m happy that we did. She was one of my first friends who allowed me to take photos of her adorable family and use them in my marketing materials back when I was starting my photography business and for that I was very grateful but then, Tiffany is just that sort of sweet friend, so when she asked me if I’d photograph her wedding day there was no way I’d ever say no. I was honored to be there and be part of her very special day all the while smiling & thinking how happy I am that God brought Joel into her life. She was a single mom to her 4 precious kids for many years being the only one to get them to school, band practice, sports practices, etc. and now her family is complete and I couldn’t be happier for her. I was secretly hoping she’d also ask me to come along with them on their honeymoon to Spain as their photographer but alas, that didn’t happen!! Congrats Tiffany & Joel, I hope you enjoy your sneak peeks! XOXO

The ceremony was held at the lovely historical Koehler House here in San Antonio.
