{ New Look }

I am playing around with a new look this month.

I loved my old colors, but had been using them for a couple of years. It's time to order new business cards and I really wanted to get into something more classic with a splash of color. I'm still looking for just the right music for my website, and that might take a while.

The splash of red color might change with the seasons.

I went through my galleries and updated them with newer images, which is great because not everyone stops by the blogity blog to see the latest and the greatest that I've been working on.

My next project is to create images of the different products that can be purchased through me with your images.

In January I will be having a contest for the babies I photographed this year to let one of them win a Free First Birthday session by getting the most votes on their cutest baby picture.

This coming spring I have a unique giveaway to announce, so be watching for that as well as a contest to win a lucky mom a free session for MYther's Day.

Another Extreme Bridal Peek!

I feel so bad that my computer crashing has set my work so far back. This Extreme Bridal was done in June and I'm just now able to work on it. I love how striking her eyes are!

A Sneak Peek Play

This is sort of a sneak peek for one of my Extreme Bridal couples (you might recognize them as my October '07 wedding couple), and also a play with texture. I love how you can see the city behind them through the glass.

I was really happy when this couple called me to do another session. Their wedding had been in October and it had been cold and rainy all week before their wedding and so the ground was wet and her dress was a little light for the weather, which made it a little hard to get some good stuff, so it was nice to get it out into the world when it was warm again and we didn't have to keep it totally clean!

This was taken in downtown St. Paul by the Capitol on one of the bridges that go over 35E.

| Whew! |

This last week has been a whirlwind of sessions and a wedding. I know people are looking forward to seeing some sneak peeks, and I promise to get to them very soon!

I am still looking for more brides for trash the dress sessions, however I think from now on I will refer to them as Extreme Bridals, because I think in most cases we won't be ruining the dresses. There's only a few more days to get ahold of me for a FREE SESSION! Tell all your newly married friends about it. Contact me for the free session using the email of giveaways@jensportraits.com .

Keep watching for one Extreme Bridal I had this last week where this bride climbed on construction equipment and waded into the middle of a creek!
