Rock the Dress

[gallery columns="4"]

Are you getting married this year, and wondering what to do with your dress afterwards? Perhaps you’ve already found the dress of your dreams and can’t wait to wear it on your big day? I know I was more excited about my dress than anything else (except, perhaps, the actual ‘getting married’ bit!) but I felt some sadness, even before my wedding day, that I’d only get to wear this dress once. I loved it. I wanted to wear it ALL. THE. TIME. But, of course, you can’t.

Except that, now, more and more women are dressing up again, after their wedding day, to get some gorgeous photographs. Photographs that really show off the dress, show off the fun of wearing the dress. It’s not about setting fire to your dress, or covering it in paint (although I’m happy to do the latter) – it’s about treasuring your dress, without worrying about a little dust or dirt. So, if you’ve just bought your dress, it’s something to bear in mind for after your wedding day.

And, with that in mind, I’m running a special offer through the month of March – if you book me to be your wedding photographer in 2010, I will include a 2 hour Rock the Dress session at no additional cost. Yes – a FREE Rock the Dress session for all brides who book their wedding photography with me this month!

So, email me now at jocelynsmithphotography@gmail.com to book your wedding photography and **FREE** Rock the Dress session at the same time!

It's Cooper! And he's back for his 6 month portrait session. Of course he wore an array of hats, sat in a bucket, and was just a doll!

Claudia + Ryan Engagement Session

I am shooting Claudia and Ryan's wedding next month and I know it is going to be a blast. I have never laughed this much on a shoot! Awesome couple![gallery columns="4"]

This is Kinsley. She pretty much is an adorable little princess. Her mommy looks like a model, so you can clearly see where she gets it from! Thanks Sara. It was great meeting you and your precious doll!

Dylan - Lil Heartbreaker

[gallery columns="4"]

Dylan's mommy and I are long lost friends, so this shoot was especially fun for me.  I had a blast shooting Dylan and his sweet mommy and daddy! I hope they don't think I am crazy for laying in their street and setting up my stuff in their bathroom!  I  promise that this child does not take a bad picture and so it was really hard to narrow their Sneek Peak down! I hope you enjoy!

[gallery columns="2"]

Dear Sherry & Lance: Thank you for choosing me to take Macey's 6 month photographs. Thank you for welcoming me into your home, letting me re-arrange all your furniture, for letting me put Macey in your dresser drawer, and being patient while I got every shot. I enjoyed every minute of them and they are both absolute angels!

Espresso Cups

I made these cups. My dad drinks his espresso out of them everyday and wanted a photograph to hang in the kitchen. Voila![gallery columns="2"]

Griffin

This is my son Griffin. When I saw these photos, I went WOW, my kid is gorgeous. And that is what I want to give to you. When you see the photos I take of you, your child, your spouse, your pet, or your mom or dad; I want you to think they are amazing and beautiful.

The Gordon's

David and Abby Gordon and their labs Maddie and Doc.  Very fun shoot at the Gordon house.  I wouldn't go so far as to say the dogs LOVED it, but they were really cooperative!  I know there are a lot of the sepia vintage looking shots, but I couldn't help myself. The house, the dogs, THE SWING, Abby's boots and ruffle jacket, - everything was screaming to be sepia.   Thanks to The Gordon Family!

Little Miracles

[gallery]

Meet Abigail and Juliette! The sweetest little babies ever.  These 10 day old twins were so sweet and calm during their session. These precious little girls are quite the fighters and have already endured so much in the 10 days since their birth.  They are thriving and showing the world their strength. Thanks to Brad and Mandy for letting me photograph your amazing daughters; they are truly your little miracles.
