BLOGATHON for AFRICA!!

Today I am participating in an amazing cause - Blogathon for Africa! I went to Kenya and Tanzania in 1995, and it was definitly the trip of a lifetime for me (and the reason that I first beame interested in photography!!!) I wish I could be one of the photographers going to Africa to help...hmmmm, maybe if we raise enough $$ I can be!!Please help if you can:

July 9th & 10th
Blogathon
Go to the through their eyes africa blog at: www.throughtheireyesafrica.typepad.com
Be a part of history! Today I am participating in the first ever “blo-gathon” to raise funds for the through their eyes africa pro-ject. Please go to their blog and give generously today. You can make a difference to some of the neediest people on earth in a very unique way, and we need your help.
This project will be sending a group of well known photographers into a remote part of Africa that has not received any help yet. The photographers will be mentoring young adults on how to take pictures so that we can get a look at their society “through their eyes”. The funds raised from this project will go right back to the needs of these people. So, please go now and give at www.throughtheireyesafrica.typepad.com . They need your donations to make this happen. Remember, what you give will make a difference in the lives of some of the neediest people on earth.
Be a part of history. Be part of the solution.
Thank you for your generosity.

I had such a great time at the beach with these three little munchkins (and their parents!) We laughed alot, played alot. got a lttle sandy (but tnot too wet!) even Fred the dinosaur made an appearance...

Beach sessons are fun...

my little princess

2007-06-25T18:47:00.000-07:00

I had such a fun *girls day* the other day with my little pumpkin - after running some errands we headed for the beach where Little Miss Fearless likes to run headfirst into the waves...it is VERY alarming :)

Afterwards, we just rolled around on the grass in her *princess* (her dress-up skirt that sheds trillions of silver sparkles wherever we go - everyone and everything in this house is now very sparkly)

For months Ali has been in the "NO MOMMY, NO CAMERA" mode (a syndrome known as *photographer's child*) It was so nice that she was *cured* thi sweek adn let me *play* with her...

You know you've had a fun day when you come home covered in salt, sand, ketchup and boogers (ummmm - her, not me!)

One more week until the new website!!!

2007-06-22T14:01:00.000-07:00

HA! I feel like I've been saying that forever!!! But - I man it - I really, really mean it! I'm so excited - I've neglected my poor ol' website for so long - you guys are gonna love the new site! I've received permission from some cool indie artists to use their music - I have a custom blog in the works (so you can see the photos REALLY big!) I'm just excited....

OKay - and now to some photos - here are a few of Maggie from the recent Paseo Club shoot - doesn't her sparkling personality just shine through???

working backwards...

2007-06-17T14:50:00.000-07:00

I'm not sure I'll ever be caught up in my postng - but thought about working backwards for a while....meet Logan & Peyton - they have the cutest little grins EVER! Joie (their mom) and I have been trading emails for almost a year now - it was so great to finally meet her!

Giovanna is one!!

2007-06-16T10:03:00.000-07:00

the birthday girls....

2007-04-08T08:19:00.000-07:00

Three of my *little friends* just turned one!!! I had the pleasure of photogrpaphing their antics at their very first birthday bash - SO much fun! I've photographed Sophia several times already , Hannah has grown so much since I last photographed her this fall - and it was my first time meeting Addison! A bouncing, singing, climbing cake-eating good time was had by all...a random sampling below...

custom coffee table books

2007-03-24T11:47:00.000-07:00

I get so many questions asking "exactly what is a custom coffee table book?" Well- I just got in one of my new samples and thought I'd snap a few quick photos to give you an idea. The quality of these books is AMAZING (nothing like the comsumer ones they have out there!) These photos do not do the book justice - I obviously DO NOT have a career in product photography ahead of me!!!

(edited to add - they posted out of order, but you can still get the idea!!)

Ames is Adorable!

2007-03-22T08:11:00.000-07:00

Hi peeps! I'd like you to say hello to my new friend Ames! He is so sweet and adorable -a dn he has the biggest baby blues :) Girls are going to swoon over this one in about 15 years! Ames' mommy is a VERY talented writer - you can read all about *how he came to be* her article here!
Now on to meet the little man - check out his curl!!

Happy Birthday Billie!!

2007-03-13T23:02:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone - meet John! Isn't he the cutest little guy you've ever seen? I happen to know that it's his Grandma's birthday tomorrow (Tuesday) so - HAPPY BIRTHDAY BILLIE!! your grandson is pretty darn cute - I hope you have a great day :)

meet Julie & Randy (and almost Riley!)

2007-03-09T03:24:00.000-08:00

I had such a great time photographing Julie and Randy as they await the birth of their first child! They are both so sweet - and so in love - it was awesome to be able to capture these moments for them!

I was a little nervous after I discovered that their wedding was photgraphed last year by the AMAZING John Michael Cooper - he is one of my VERY favorite photographers - so I knew I had some pretty big shoes to fill :) Lucky for me, these two are not only sweet and adorable - but the best-looking couple I've seen in some time! Made my job pretty easy....

Meet Julie and Randy - and *almost* Riley :)

just my kids....

2007-03-09T03:09:00.000-08:00

for grandma....

my new outlook...

2007-03-06T16:44:00.000-08:00

Okay - so I was reading over my last post and I didn't want to to come across as a downer :) What I MEANT to say is that I now have my priorites straight!

#1 - Put my family first...too many times has my son come in to see me sitting at my computer and said "mommy - can you PLEASE come play with me now?" I don't want to be THAT mom - so better balance between work and family... (remember the song "Cats in the Cradle"???)
#2 - Provide exceptional customer sevice to my clients. I LOVE my job - it is my hobby and my passion - but I need to remember that I am a business nad not just an artist. Treating my clients like GOLD has just moved to the top of my list (okay - not the VERY top - that is still my family! LOL)
#3 - Say "NO" more often. Focus on the things I really want to do - get rid of/outsource the rest. I am cutting back to 8 clients a month TOPS! (so call NOW if you want to reserve a session)
#4 - Relax. Take care of myself. Take care of my family. Take care of my business.

That's it...

what i've been up to lately....

2007-03-06T08:48:00.000-08:00

Good morning!

After waffling back and forth for a while, I have decided to talk a little bit about *what's been going on with me*. I have been kind of distant and out of touch, slower to respond than I normally do, etc... you guys sort of deserve to know why...

So - anyway - my friend Gwen had this $350 laser thing done to her face and she swore it made her look 5 years younger - I thought *I want some of that* and promptly made an appointment with a dermatologist! :) Well, after viewing my skin cancer history, the doctor refused to even discuss *cosmetic* stuff with me until we discussed *health* stuff. She ended up doing a full-body check on me and did 5 biopsies of *suspicious-looking* spots. (i have had skin cancer (basal cell) several times before - so although unpleasant, wasn't really worried) To make a long story short, 2 of the spots did indeed prove to be skin cancer, (squamous cell - worse than I've had before) but more troubling, one of the biopsies was diagnosed as Paget's Diesease, a form of breast cancer. I was refered over to the Breast Care Center at Cedars-Sinai Hospital, and began consulting with a breast cancer specialist. I was assured from the beginning that this was NOT life-threatening, we had caught it early - so that was great - but still, anytime you hear *CANCER* you start to freak out a little! Blah, blah , blah - you guys don't want all the details - but I ended up havig surgery the week before Christams, then another surgery the week after Christmas. Unfortunatly, my *margins* still were not clear and I had to begin a 4 week treatment of radiation. Every day (well M-F) I had to drive down to Cedars - this was about a 4 hour roundtrip ordeal every day. The medical staff at Cedars is the best in the world - so I was in great hands :)
I came away with a whole new perspective on *customer service* they are SO amazing there, unlike any other medical experience I have ever had. I figure, if a great big medical facility can still put people first and focus on the little things - than I certainly have no excuse! Customer service has been an *area of opportunity* for me in the psat - but no more! I am going to be a rock start in the service dept!!

Fast forward to now - I have been done with raditaion now for several weeks - I am finally starting to heal nicely (YAY!) and have actually come out of this ordeal with some great new perspectives about ...oh....everything! I had lots of time to be *introspective* and really get to know myself a lot bettter - I will be making some changes this year, I vow to treat my family better, my clients better, my self better - I've turned over a new leaf!

I will be participating in a walk to benefit breast cancer this summer - I will be having some great promotions to raise $$ for breast cancer - stay tuned for more details!!!

thanks for listening...

jen :)

my poor blog needs some love...

2007-02-28T00:52:00.000-08:00

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away , I vowed to update my blog AT LEAST weekly, if not daily. Wow, have I dropped the ball on that promise :(

I cannot even hope to get *caught up* - so I am just going to have to start fresh :)

But, if you are wondering what I've been up to - here are a couple of slideshows for your viewing pleasure :)

Ava

Olivia

Landon

Jonathan

Yep, lots of babies :) Can't wait for it to be warm enough to get all those babies to the beach!!

I'll be back to post soon! I promise! (~~fingers crossed - just in case~~)

jen :)

sneak peek....

2006-10-11T07:31:00.000-07:00

Okay - I'm SO behind after my little vacation to CANCUN!!! But, I wanted to show off a few from my most recent session - introducing Riley (hope I spelled that right?), Sophia, Cary, Michele, Parker & Lucky....they were so much fun!!

Sometimes sessions are extra-fun for me - this was definitly one of those - these guys remind me so much of my own crazy family!!!

Giovanna...

2006-09-25T21:24:00.000-07:00

Okay - so sometimes my job is REALLY easy :) Let's take Giovanna, for instance...she was such a happy little munchkin, I loved her little cheeks - and she has the most incredibly HUGE baby blues. I could easily post 20 photos from this shoot - but I don't want to bore y'all - so here are five...

How CUTE is she???

I just love how she is peeking out at me...

I loved this! Dad got a brand new "Star Wars" DVD set and had to pop one in right away. I'm a huge Star Wars fan, so I was happy to see that Giovanna was quickly enthralled - keep in mind she is not quite 4 months!!

a serious moment...

and why have cute little letters if you can't lie (lay? I can never remember!) amongst them???

I'm dying to post more...but I'll resist the urge and work backwards....

jen :)

for Vicki....

2006-09-25T15:20:00.000-07:00

My good friend Vicki Derks emailed me to call me out on my shoddy blog-updating performance. So Vicki, this post is for you :)
Just my kids.....

it started out so innocently, a little backyard fingerpainting fun...

then Jake decided "why paint on paper when you can paint on yourself??"

Ali, being the ever faithful little sister, decided if Jake was doing it, so should she...

childhood is supposed to be messy, right???

Darn it, now that I've posted my own kids, I guess I'll get back on track with some recent clients - check back soon...
Thanks Vicki, for the kick in the pants :)....

jen :)

I'm baccccccccccccccckkkkkkk!

2006-08-31T16:34:00.000-07:00

Oh my gosh - what a hectic month! I've been *locked out* of my blog for weeks - so I'm going to be a posting fool to get all caught up! I'll start with a few from a recent lifestyle family session - they were SO much fun!!

Meet Oskar and Axel...

big EMAIL problems :(

2006-07-26T01:36:00.000-07:00

Okay - apparently I'm having serious email issues - and here I just thought I was unpopular :)

If you have tried to email me at all since July 20 - I hane not received it - unless you used the contact form on my website - it *seems* like that is working.

The only email address that I have that is currently working is jwilson@jenniferwilsonphoto.com - so so so sorry if you have emailed me and I have not responded - please try again!

jen :)

Cassandra & Alfonso...

2006-06-24T17:42:00.000-07:00

Cassandra and Alfonso got married last night in Ventura - They were SUCH a cute couple! Cassandra's parents hadn't been on an airplane in 34 years - but they flew out for their daughter's wedding - a great time was had by all!!!

Here are just a few...

I was excited that their dog Spencer was to be part of the ceremony - but alas, he was feeling rather shy...here he is with his mommy as she gets ready for her big day...

Cassandra's dress was so great! I LOVE the splash of color!!

I hadn't broken out those syudio lights in quite some time!)

fun in the backyard....

2006-05-29T13:11:00.000-07:00

Sometimes, I get so caught up in *finding the great light* - sometimes FUN STUFF happens in harsh sun with lots of shadows - what can you do???

My backyard...

she was looking so cute...

He was playing so quietly...

Foreshadowing...

Hosed...

What a tough cookie....its hard to have a photographer for a mom..."wait - let me get the shot - THEN I'll comfort you!"

Hope y'all have a great Memorial Day weekend!!

i shot a wedding!!!

2006-05-27T01:44:00.000-07:00

Alright - I was just the second shooter - I was helping out my friend Mitzi Mandel-she is another kid shooter and neither of us had ever shot a wedding - so it was like the blind leading the blind - but I think we did a good job! Of course, it didn't hurt that Jessica & Ryan were so adorable :) Congrats guys!

Here are a few of my favorites - it's so hard to choose just 5!!

more from the super-fun beach session!

2006-05-17T02:11:00.000-07:00

Okay - so *BLOGGER* will only let me post 5 photos in a post....that is CLEARLY not enough to do justice to this session....so without further ado....here's more Lily and Emily....

PS - to see more check out my website at www.jenphoto.com or you can view all the photos from this session here.

I've fallen WAY behind on my blog-attempts....so now I think I'm going to have to work backwards. frist I'll post some adorable shots of Sean (one day old at the time - now he's the ripe old age of 6 days old!) His mommy and daddy, Lisa and Ian, have been friends of ours for a long time - it was so exciting to go see their first baby - and he's so stinkin' cute!

(tomorrow I'll try to tackle my Vegas trip!)

how 'bout some PHOTOS on my photoblog??

2006-03-30T17:10:00.000-08:00

{{{ Make sure you check out my triathlon fundraiser post - its the next one down!!!}}}

Okay- I admit it. I've been remiss with the photo-posting. I've just been chatty chatty chatty.
Here are some recent shots:

This is Ryan. Isn't she the cutest little curly-headed girl you've ever seen?
I think so.

Wanna see a not-so-curly-headed girl?Well - I'm happy to oblige...

Yep. That's Ali. She *finally* has enough hair to squoosh up into that dorky-looking bow. I think she looks adorable. Victor is embarrassed.

Did I mention that she's a banana fiend???

Wouldn't want Jake to feel left out...

Okay- my final thoughts for the day....if you live within 4 hours driving time from me - you'd BETTER be at my fundraiser this Sunday! {{pretty please??}} Scroll down for more info - feel free to make a BIG FAT donation!

my BIG FAT triathlon fundraiser!!!!

2006-03-23T22:11:00.000-08:00

HELP ME FIND A CURE FOR LEUKEMIA!

Hey folks!
Well, if you are reading this you have probably either received my mass email - or you've seen a flyer about my event at The Paseo Club. Here's my story:

I am currently training to compete in a triathlon! Team in Training (aka TNT) is a fundraising branch of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Basically - you raise monay to beat these cancers - they train you to compete in an athletic event. This is my third time to compete and fundraise for TNT. I wish I were more eloquent so I could find the words to tell you just what this means to me. I consider myself so blessed not to have been touched personally by any of these diseases - every time I look at my children I know just how lucky I am. I am doing this triathlon in honor of two very special people. The first is Haley Curtis. Haley's mom Holly is a fellow photographer - I have **known** Holly for several years - we both participate in a photography forum together. I have watched Haley come off chemo - grow her hair back and blossom into the beautiful young girl she is today. Haley is my hero - and Holly is SO amazing to me - she has been so strong for her daughter - and she is an awesome photographer so I've had the pleasure of watching Haley grow up. You can read more about Haley's struggles at thehaleybug.com I look forward to continue to watch Haley grow into a strong, healthy and beautiful young woman!!
I am also training in honor of Laura deHart. Laura is local to me - she is a single mom with three children. I can't even begin to imagine how she felt when she first got her diagnosis - but I'm happy to say that she is in remission now and she is a part of Team in Training! She will be competing this weekend in her very first triathlon! Go Laura!!

Please come if you can attend my fundraising event at the Paseo Club On April 2nd.
I'll be set up to take photos of your kids all day. No appointment required - so sitting fee - no obligation! You make a donation - then get a (hopefully) fabulously beautiful 8 x 10 of your child. I am requesting a $40 donation - but I'll take what I can get! (All photos will be posted online the week following the event - I'll be emailing you a link to view your photos)The folks at The Paseo Club there have been so good to me - you can use all the facilities all day for free! If you haven't been there yet - now is the time to check it out!

So- how can you help, you ask?? (I'm so glad you asked!) You can write a BIG FAT check! You can make a BIG FAT donation online -MAKE ONLINE DONATION HERE! You can donate an item or service to my silent auction! You can email me with a donation! You can make a little skinny donation if you are not in the position of being able to make a BIG FAT one! Or - you can just send me your well-wishes - I'll take all the checks, pennies, good karma and positive thoughts you can send! I know everyone has their own charities that you support - so I won't be offended if you don't donate - if you promise not to be offended that I asked! I know there are many many many of you whom I haven't chatted with in a while (i'm basically hitting all the addresses in my email address books!) Please drop me a line and lets get back in touch! I 've been a terrible correspondent in the past...but I'm turning over a new leaf...

Please email me at jennifer@jenniferwilsonphoto.com - I really would love to hear from you!

So - to re-cap:
What's in it for me? knowing that I'm at least TRYING to make a difference, taking on a challenge and COMPLETING it, weight loss (I'm down 12.5 pounds already - and NO - I'm not going to share how much more I've got to go - stay tuned....), new friends, community involvemnet - and just feeling good about myself.....

What's in it for you? Getting that *glow* when you know you've done something GOOD, putting some fabulous karma in the karma bank ...AND....if you're the BIGGEST FATTEST donor - I'll even write your name on my (then flat) tummy and do a hula dance for you while drinking a pina colada after the big race. I'll even send you the pic. Yep - Sounds like a pretty good deal all around, doesn't it?

Thanks for reading the longest post in the history of blogging....check back to hear update son how its all going!

From the bottom of my heart - thank you very much!

jen

2006-03-08T23:38:00.000-08:00

Hey folks - meet Tova. Tova is a four month old Rottweiler - she is training to be an assisstance dog for my neighbor Laura. Laura and Tova were out for a stroll yesterday - and the light was just perfect so I grabbed my camera - who can resist a puppy????

Jake had lots of fun because he was riding his quad around the culdesac and Laura and Tova would chase him in her mechanical wheelchair - she's a good sport!

Okay - I am totally obsessed with this song. Makes me think back (waaaaaaaay back) to driving around in my Dad's car with a portable cassette player on my lap - playing "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" over and over and over and over again.....good thing my Dad was a good sport - I think that might have been the only song we listened to for an entire summer.

The whole album is great - and lucky for me - Jake is totally into it, too! So - he's like "turn it up Mommy" and I crank it and sing reallly really loudly and badly - and he says "Mommy - don't sing - let's just enjoy the music"

Brutal 3 year old honesty.

Well, well, well....here I am - back again. I went to Gary Fong's seminar in Marina del Rey earlier this week - and Gary says you *ABSOLUTLY MUST* blog - and well, its working for him - so I'll give it another try!
For those of you who've known me for awhile - Gary shot my wedding back in 1999. He is now retired from wedding photography - he is a marketing genius and an inspiration to me! http://garyfong.com
I had a great time at the seminar - lots and lots of thoughts floating around my head now....or are those clouds???hmmmm
