Photography Event for City of Hope Outreach

2011-05-04T11:38:00.000-07:00

Okay, since I did not receive a good response to this year's Home School Photo Day, I decided to switch gears! I am moving in another direction in hopes to still have the opportunity to provide some families/couples with some great, inexpensive photos while also raising some money and awareness for a great local non-profit/ministry, City of Hope Outreach.

I will be setting up to take photos of couples and/or families on Friday, May 13th. If you want some great photos, then this is for you! I have designed two very simple, but awesome packages. What makes them so awesome? Well, let me tell you...they are affordable and you get a cd of all of your photos with full rights to copy and print them as much as you'd like! But the best part is this: 50% of all proceeds will go directly to City of Hope Outreach!

Couple Package- includes sitting fee for two people, a cd with all of your photos, digital enhancement, and copyright release. $50.00

Family Package- includes sitting fee for up to 4 people, a cd full of your photos, digital enhancement, and copyright release. $75.00

*for additional people in your group, add $10.00 each

I have slots available from 9am to 2pm on May 13th. If you are interested, please contact me via jckphoto@hotmail.com

And if you are not familiar with City of Hope Outreach, I encourage you to click on the link above and read more about them.

Home School Spring 2011 Session

It's time for some more photos!
If you are a family that home schools your children and you would like some inexpensive photos of your children, then this is for you!

We have a date- Friday, May 13th. I am still working on the location and will announce it as soon as I can. However, sign up begins today!

I am doing things a bit different this time. The prices are still the same as our last session, but this year you can order prints too!
I am offering one print package including 1 8x10, 3 5x7's and 8 wallets. You can choose one photo for this package and also add your child's name to the photos if you'd like.
Why would you want to purchase prints when you are receiving a cd full of your photos? I'll give you a few good reasons:
1. the price is great- only $10!
2. you get prints without having to order them yourself-convenience
3.and saving the best for last- all proceeds from the print package sales will go directly to The City of Hope Outreach.
To learn more about this non-profit/local ministry, visit their site at www.cityhopeoutreach.com

School Pictures- Home School Style

2010-09-20T13:29:00.000-07:00

****UPDATE*****

I'm spicing up the Home School Portrait Day and making it even sweeter....because it's fun and I can! :) Sign up for a time slot by tomorrow at 5pm and your name will be placed into a drawing for a very fun prize. I can tell you that it will be a combination of my Teapots and Robots work and your children's photos...but that's all you get because I love surprises! :)

******************************************************************************

It's that time of year again; school has started and the weather will soon be giving us cool, crisp days and beautiful shades of red, yellow and orange. It is truly my favorite time of the year and also my favorite time of the year to shoot photos outside!

So, last year I had an idea and decided to give it a shot, Home School Portrait Day. I am now officially apart of the home school group as we have begun our first year schooling my oldest son in kindergarten. Woo hoo!

We are blessed to be surrounded by many families that have also chosen to home school. Around this time last year, I was thinking about how blessed I am to have the means in which to take my own photos of my children because I probably would not be able to afford to buy pictures of them every year and that led to my next thought, "how do home school families afford to get photos of their children taken often? And if they can't afford it, then does that mean they just don't get them?"

That thought made me a little sad and also made me want to do something about it. Some people may not think this is a big deal, but you are reading a blog of a person that LOVES photos and has her walls covered in them!

So, we scheduled a Home School Portrait day and I think it was a success, as well as a lot of fun! And, I am ready to do it again!

If you think the prices/packages were good last year, then I am about to knock your socks off! I would love so much to be able to give some local families some fun photos of their children that they will enjoy for a life time, so I really wanted to make sure that the prices were super affordable this year. And I thoroughly enjoy getting to do this too!

So, without further ado....

Celebrating Family

2010-09-09T11:29:00.000-07:00

I was so blessed to be able to spend some time with this sweet family recently. We got some shots of their precious baby girl and many more of the family together.

Glowing Mommy to Be

2010-09-09T10:57:00.000-07:00

I had the opportunity to shoot some photographs of my sister in law recently. She is expecting her first baby. Very exciting!
And she is one beautiful little mama. ;)

The Lovely Angel...

I had the pleasure of hanging out with this sweet girl and snapping some fun shots for her in celebration of her upcoming high school graduation!

New & Affordable Photo Packages!!!!

2010-04-30T14:42:00.000-07:00

My love for photography is still going strong...and so are the energy levels of my three little children!

There was once a time when my little photography business experienced much growth and kept me quite busy photographing brides to be, weddings, babies, children, teens, and families until my own family was blessed with more growth too!

After my second little baby boy arrived, I decided to take a break and simply enjoy the time home with my two sweet little boys (then 18mo and newborn). Now, three years and a baby girl later, I am still enjoying photography, just at a much slower pace.

For the past 3 1/2 years, I have simply enjoyed photographing my children, friends, family and the occasional phone call asking for a session.

I am still not interested in doing much advertising/promoting but wanted to give a little shout out to let everyone know that I am still here and ready to begin photographing more!

And the exciting part is that I have completely redone my photo session packages! They are simple, affordable and give YOU a lot of options and freedom!

I know how wonderful it is to have fun, creative and quality photos of your family, but I have also done my research and know how incredibly expensive it has become to obtain those.

I am a stay at home wife and mother and so I understand the expenses of simply living. I also love to get the opportunity to capture special moments for others....it is truly an honor to me.

These new packages are a way for me to continue doing something that I love and enjoy and a way for other families to enjoy professional quality photographs- it's a win-win! ;)
******************************************************************************

PORTRAIT PACKAGE: this includes one sitting fee, up to 2 hours of my services, digital enhancement/touch up, a CD full of your photos, a photo collage and a copyright release. $75.00

FAMILY PORTRAIT PACKAGE: this includes sitting fees for up to 5 people, up to 2 hours of my services, digital enhancement/touch up, a CD full of your photos, a photo collage and a copyright release. $100.00

*Your cd will include photos in color, B&W, and even some artistic digital enhancement for fun.
*Touch up's are also included.

*I will have new wedding packages soon as well. You can contact me at jckphoto@hotmail.com for more information.

Contact me today so we can begin planning your photo shoot. I thoroughly enjoy working one on one with my clients. I want to chat with you and understand your vision and your style. And last but not least, I want our time together to be lots of fun!

Sweet girls

The "M" family

2009-11-16T19:44:00.000-08:00

Sweet baby boy...

2009-11-11T12:52:00.000-08:00

Believe it or not, this baby boy is only 4 days old right here! He was the most alert and mobile newborn I have ever seen!!! Yes, that's right, I said....MOBILE! He rolled over twice when placed on his tummy! So, needless to say, these are not the typical sleepy newborn shots, but cute nonetheless, because he is a cutie!

The "F" family......"F" is for FUN of course!

2009-11-11T12:40:00.000-08:00

I held a Home School Photo session day recently. My goal in this was to provide other home schooling families with some fun photos of their children at the most affordable prices I could give. I think the day was a success and I got to meet some great kids/families and photograph some great friends too!

Here a few shots from the afternoon. I'll post more later.

The "H" family- "H" is for "Happy" they are our friends!!!!

Little girls and Tutu's.....

2009-11-09T20:32:00.000-08:00

....just too fun!
These photos were taken for advertisement purposes for designs by Three Lulu's. The super fun tutu, adorable bloomers and t-shirt can all be ordered from designs by Three Lulu's and can also be purchased at Just T-s-N Downtown store.

I love any opportunity to take fun, out of the ordinary photos like these! These will be hanging from the ceiling in the store, but would also be really fun hanging in your home- in a play room, family room, children's room...you get the idea! :)

Shoot me an email if you're interested in having some photos made and turned into posters or poster size prints for yourself! www.jckphoto@hotmail.com

Simple. Fun. Natural

2009-10-21T11:48:00.000-07:00

It such a blessing and honor for me to be able get to know my clients and their families and to truly capture who they are on camera. I love to just watch with my camera and capture personality, connections, relationships.....these things are timeless and will be cherished always.

Homeschool Photo Day Session!

2009-10-21T10:26:00.000-07:00

Ok, fellow homeschool families, we have now set a date for Thursday, November 5th!

I will offer two packages and a FREE sitting fee:

Keepsake Package: will include one 5x7 and 8 wallets- $15.00

"Hardcore" Homeschool Package: will include one 8x10, 2 5x7's, and 16 wallets- $30.00

*One of the above packages must be ordered to receive the special free sitting fee offer.

I don't know about you, but I am not a fan of "studio" pictures. What I love is outdoor photos that truly capture who your child is- natural, fun, and simple with the beauty of the outdoors! And right now, we get to partake in the beauty of fall too!

For those of you with multiple children- why not go ahead and get a group photo too! These make great Christmas cards and gifts for family! And the best part is that as long as you are purchasing at least 2 packages, there will be no extra charge for the group photo!

You will need to be prepared to order and pay for your package the day of the photo session. I will have a proof index for you to view and choose which photos you want for your package. This will be available within 1-2 weeks-2 weeks max.

If you are interested, please email me at jckphoto@hotmail.com asap to schedule your time slot and receive details about the location.
