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!

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!

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!!

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.

Say Hello to Logan! {Cibolo Senior Photographer}

Jana — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 03:42:02 +0000

I’ve known Logan for a while now and it was a pleasure working with her last weekend! She’s been friends with my oldest son for years now, they both play the trumpet together in the Steele band, so I was honored when she asked me to take her Senior portraits for her. She and her mother are as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside and that is a compliment I don’t throw around lightly!! Logan will be heading to college at Texas Tech in the Fall and I wish you the best of luck in Lubbock, I know you’ll love it there and will fit in just wonderfully. Enjoy your sneak peeks!!!

We found some Bluebonnets!!

Sneak Peek for Skylar! {Schertz Senior Photographer}

I knew it was going to be a fun afternoon. We show up to gorgeous weather, no one else around and a beautiful girl ready to have fun & take pretty pictures. This is MY kind of afternoon and Skylar and I had such fun walking around taking her pictures. She’s a senior at Clemens HS and has a clear plan for her future and a great head on her shoulders and I just love that about her! Thank you for trusting me with your senior pics, Skylar…..hope you enjoy your sneak peeks!!

Oh baby baby! {Schertz Maternity Photographer}

Jana — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 18:23:30 +0000

It’s always a special honor when a fellow photographer asks me to take photos for them & this was the case with Autumn. She’s beginning her own photography business here locally and asked if I’d take maternity pics for her since she’d never had them done before and this little peanut is her baby #5. We met up at the studio and spent a fun morning taking photos for her, here are just a few of my faves. Enjoy your sneak peeks Autumn & Matt!

I’m still truckin’ on with my Project 52 photos as well. The theme for week 3 was “Shades of Grey” so I snapped this shot of me at my studio before taking Autumn’s photos. I was looking out the window of my studio at the pavement and wall of the building across the street from mine on a grey gloomy day……thought it fit the theme well and I guess others did too because it was chosen as one of their Top 10 on the MCP Blog. I was so honored to have been noticed out of the hundreds of photos that are submitted! Here it is……

Canyon Cuties {Garden Ridge Family Photography}

Jana — Sat, 15 Jan 2011 19:50:18 +0000

In my nearly 3 years of owning Brown-Eyed Girl, the Wells family have been some of my BEST, most loyal and supportive clients. I’ve shot photographs for their outdoor lighting business, of their daughter Mariah when she turned 16, some lovely boudoir shots of Staci as a surprise for her husband and now their entire family which I was SO excited about since I hadn’t met Laura & Megan yet. We met up for a family mini-session after Christmas while everyone was in town and had a fun time (Staci keeps everyone laughing and everything running like a well-oiled machine and I LOVE that about her!). Wonder if I could convince her to come along to ALL of my sessions?! All the girls in the family attended Canyon High School and some of my favorite images from the session are of the girls in their Canyon letter jackets……

Being cute…..

…..and being silly! The 2 track girls & the 2 cheerleaders!

Mariah brought her boyfriend & their new adorable puppy along for a few shots!

Thanks again Wells/Seelhammer family for your friendship & support, you guys mean the world to me!! Everyone stay dry & warm and enjoy your weekend! XOXO
