cup of *JOy*

My latest read.

A fun color for my little “Alices”.  {Susan, we just had to have our own.}  Especially since they will not be seeing the movie anytime soon.  Too scary!

I’m in love with this style so much that I made my own.  (After spending $70 on 2 from a vendor out west. Oh well.)  Aren’t they lovely?!

Had dinner with a sweet couple Saturday night.  Can you believe he lives here?  Awesome to be in the presence of amazing, jaw-dropping talent.

Buy these– you won’t regret it.  The fit…awesome.

Pinch me!!!  Anthro is launching a wedding brand – dresses, shoes, jewelry, invitations…the whole shebang.  I want a do-over. No fair.

This guy has vision.  I love his perspective.  Not sure how I feel about the out-of-focus trend.  ??

The catalog is out…I want it all.  Loving the circus theme…I may have to borrow this.

Megan + TJ | Bloomington Engagement Photographer

Monday, March 8, 2010 Posted in Newborn Photography

It’s no secret…I am eclectic…with everything. Clothes, music, movies, books, decor, food…kind of unpredictable.  Out there…but…not too far, if that makes sense.  I like different.  I LOVE bold and crazy….non-traditional.  I think Megan and TJ figured that out within the first few minutes of our session.  They had a few good laughs watching me…on the ground…with trash and other alley critters.  Anything for the shot…that’s my mantra. I am not afraid to get dirty or wet— even if you are.  :)

I plowed through this session’s editing in one sitting…I could not stop…’til I was finished.  There’s the OCD again…this time working in my favor, rather than against me. Here are several…to share.  I am thrilled to shoot their wedding this August. Enjoy….

Be back soon with a special (I’m thinking ahead to Easter and Mother’s Day)….. and my cup of *JOy* post (it’s Monday already?!).

ALSO…I would love to have you sign up for my newsletter/email list…it’s chock-full of specials, contests and drawings, the occasional template freebie (like a gelaskin template–see below!)…FUN STUFF for everyone (clients and photogs alike) that I am sure you don’t want to miss out on.

Special delivery:: eye candy

Tuesday, March 2, 2010 Posted in Bresney Family - My love, Child Photography

I know, I know…I missed cup of *JOy* yesterday.  Forgive me.  Instead, I thought I would post, today, what life’s been like lately and fill today’s post with loads of eye candy (supplemental *JOy*of the BEST kind).  First, this weather is awful… really, really dreadful.  I am so ready for winter to be over…clouds galore, deadness (craving flowers and tree buds), wind that gnaws, cabin fever, the list could go on, but I don’t want to whine too much.  Good stuff?  Moving on to that…

Chase has been getting As on most of his tests…(Woot!  He is so bright– this boy is going places.  Just wait!); Mady is a social butterfly, and a “natural born leader” (and it’s NOT code for bossy…I checked!); Ella has been…well…Ella.  Life is always a little lot brighter when Ella is around.  Todd just bought his office building (scary and exciting!).  It has been a whirlwind of busyness around here.  TKD, gymnastics, dance, therapy (aquatics and developmental), dinner with friends, dinner parties, movie dates, family gatherings, lunch dates, playdates, birthday parties, sleepovers….whew!  Life is good. Really good…

I have been dying to take my lens outside to see what it’s capable of.  Yesterday, Ella and I stole away for a few minutes and had a mini-session at one of my favorite urban locations.  All I needed was a few minutes…just to see what I could get.  WOW…I am in love.  This is by far my favorite lens.  I am so glad that I did not go with the 45mm TS–I was looking for more of an everyday lens.  I had to sell a limb to get it…but it was sooooooo worth it.

babyitscoldThis one makes me laugh….:)

And…one of Mady– playing coy with the camera…

The countdown to Spring Break is officially on…please be warm in Florida.  Pretty please….

~j

P.S.  There are just 2 time slots left for the Chicago MINI session at North Avenue Beach…going, going.….soon to be gone….:)

AND — I am finally getting the iPhone (it’s on it’s way–YAY!)  To celebrate I am going to be posting a free template for the iPhone gelaskin.

Wise…in all sizes

Saturday, February 27, 2010 Posted in Bresney Family - My love, Child Photography, Just because...

Aquatics therapy is getting better…thanks to a dear, sweet friend.  xx

Ella got wise …realizing the pool is not just for playtime.  She’s one smart cookie.  And stubborn.

[New lens...I am soooooo in love.]

So much to do around here…while battling this ongoing cold/sinus/icky bug I have.  Ahh…life with 3 McGerm factories.

Happy Weekend, anyhow!

Random nothingness…

Check out my new template design…

She is one of my favorites.  A sample from my *project*.

Of note: I do offer custom logo designs and branding.  Takers?– contact me.

No better cure to the *winter blues* [Seriously--will "this" ever end?] than playing with a new lens.   Super crisp…dreamy color…worth every penny I spent….and a bit of design.

Loveitloveitloveit!

Chicago’s Segway to Summer [Chicago Child & Family Photographer]

Tuesday, February 23, 2010 Posted in Announcements, Child Photography, Family Photography, a sweet special

Chicago

This will sell out fast!  The print alone worth 75% of the fee.  You will get amazing photos from this session…I promise.  This location is fun, and did I mention gorgeous?!  I have spent many afternoons at this beach when I lived in Lincoln Park. It’s one of my favorites.

Don’t wait ’til the last minute to book; I am only booking a handful (ONLY  3 TIME SLOTS ARE LEFT) of sessions for this day.

Book online in the contact portion of the site, or email me at:

jolene@studiobloomphotography.com

Don’t forget to tell a friend. :)

~j

UPDATE:  ONLY 3 TIME SLOTS LEFT….I TOLD YA THEY WOULD SELL FAST.  HURRY UP AND SNAG ONE FOR YOURSELF.

cup of *JOy*

Monday, February 22, 2010 Posted in Just because..., cup of *JOy*

blogCUPOFJOY

I was invited to participate…I think I just might.  A great cause and a beautiful city.  Now to get started on fundraising and training.

My new favorite color at the moment.

I am obsessed.  I want one in every room in my house.  Or this one?

A healthy alternative…perhaps.  I hear the bakery in New York is to die for.

Have you EVER seen anything more adorable?  I think I need one.

This song rocks my world—it’s my *go to HAPPY, forget the little things that bother me* song….♥ ♥ To be taken literally.

Need to jump start your inspiration?  Awesome.

A simple quote:  ”Do right. Do your best. Treat others as you want to be treated.” Make it your life’s mantra.  I wish everyone would live by this.

A movie that I am dying to see…..can’t wait!

xoxo
