2009-04-09T20:09:00.008-06:00

Here are a few more layouts I have done recently:

Wow!!

2009-03-28T21:40:00.008-06:00

It has been waaaaaayyyyyy too long since I was on here last. I have been dealing with a lot since that last post. I'm not at Sears anymore. Now I am pumping up my photography portfolio.

Anyway, here are some recent scrapbook pages I have done:

Here's my baby boy asleep in his high chair. He had turned himself around and curled up and took a nap.

My nephew and his Dad last Easter.

My kids on Easter Sunday last year. We always go to their great-grandparent's house to have an egg hunt and dinner with family.

My New Job!

2008-08-28T19:20:00.002-06:00

I have a new job. I am working at the Sears Portrait Studio in Jordan Landing. When I was interviewed I was told they were looking for an Assistant Mangaer. I was really excited about that. But it was to be filled in November, not right away. It was just what I was looking for in order to further my knowledge and experience in photography. Well, I started on the 15th of this month. It's been going great. I have one several sittings and am getting the hang of shooting in a studio setting.
On Saturday, the 23rd, I got a phone call from my manager. Marcy said she had some reslly good news for me. She said that I was being given a promotion and was the new Assitant Manager!! She and the District Manager had been talking and when they discussed me, Shar, the DM, asked why I hadn't been made Assitant Manager yet. So they made the decision to call me and tell me rather than waiting until I came in next. I was so excited!!! Here I was, thinking I would have to wait for a few months before a decision was made, and only a week after starting, I got the job!!!! Yeah for me!!
So, if you are looking to get pictures taken and you can get to West Jordan, UT, call up Sears and ask for me (Jenn) to do your photo shoot!

I had the wonderful opportunity to do a few photo shoots with my oldest niece, who will be a senior this year. We did one in Idaho and a few more in Colorado. Here are some of my favorites:

More Photo Shoots!!!! And a Question.

2008-07-29T19:18:00.003-06:00

I have not just one photo shoot to do, but 5!!!! I am so excited!! This is exactly what I have been wanting for years! Now I am finally getting the chance to do the thing I love the most... and get paid for it!!
So, does anyone have thoughts on copyrights? Should I start this now, or wait until I'm a little more known? If I do copyright my photos, what should I charge for getting them printed?

Photography

2008-07-12T09:56:00.005-06:00

I just did my first paid photo gig last night! This is the first step for me to becoming a professional photographer, which is exactly what I want! Here are a few samples from the shoot (these photos are copyrighted, please do not make any copies):

Marianne Dashwood

2008-06-16T19:51:00.002-06:00

Take the Quiz here!

You are Marianne Dashwood of Sense & Sensibility! You are impulsive, romantic, impatient, and perhaps a bit too brutally honest. You enjoy romantic poetry and novels, and play the pianoforte beautifully. To boot, your singing voice is captivating. You feel deeply, and love passionately.

I've never read an Austin novel. I guess it's time to go to the library and check it out.

May I just say...

2008-06-03T19:15:00.002-06:00

I LOVE Hobby Lobby!!!! I had no idea there was one in the Salt Lake valley until about a month ago. I finally went in today and couldn't believe what they had!!! I think I'm going to like it better than Roberts (shhh, don't tell anyone!!). I ended up spending....well...let's just say I blew the budget! Now I really have to get my scrapping area set up so I can use this stuff! Oh, we moved, so my scrap room is non-existent right now. Everything is in boxes or in piles on the floor in the area that will be my space. I am going to post pictures as soon as I get settled.

A Return

2008-05-31T10:06:00.002-06:00

Haven't done much scrapbooking and picture taking lately. We've been moving into our new home and I had to box everything up. I hope to return to the scrapbooking and photography world very soon.
I hope all is well with you and your loved ones.
-Jenn

GOBI

2008-01-31T14:33:00.000-07:00

These are some layouts I did for my Get Organized, Be Inspired class at BPS. I love the book Easy Patterns for Scrapbooking by Brenda Arnall!

I guess I lied. Sorry.

2008-01-29T20:08:00.001-07:00

I didn't post photos on Friday, but here are some now!!!

A layout I did about my husband for an online crop this weekend.

And another one I did tonight for the LOAD class on BPS.

Peels of Laughter

2008-01-10T13:12:00.000-07:00

This is the page I did for day 9 for my LOAD class on http://www.bigpicturescrapbooking.com/. The photos were taken in October 2006. My daughter was squealing with laughter at something and I was able to capture it on film. I don't remember the why of the laughter, but I definitely remember the laughter!

Ouch!

2008-01-10T13:00:00.000-07:00

On the very first day we had our gas fireplace pilot light lit, our little boy decided to stick his hand in. Thankfully, he only had a burn on one little finger. This is one of the bandages. Gross for some, but memories for us.

Catch Up Time

2008-01-10T12:39:00.000-07:00

Trying to catch up here!

My younger daughter is such a ham! She loves to have her picture taken. Then she says, "Let me see!" She always has to look at the pictures I just took!

Side note: I think she needs her bangs cut!

Patience

2008-01-07T12:16:00.000-07:00

I love this picture of my younger daughter. It was taken in August of 2006 in the early morning while we were waiting for her sister's school bus to leave (it was the first day of school). The layout is from a sketch by Brenda Arnall in her book Easy Patterns for Scrapbooking.

Sleepy Baby

2008-01-06T14:23:00.000-07:00

My baby boy was so tired after church, he fell asleep with a Kix in his mouth! Isn't he handsome?!

Scrap Space - the other half

2008-01-05T19:48:00.000-07:00

This is the other half of my scrap space. It needs some major work done on it. I'm taking this great class at www.bigpicturescrapbooking.com called Get Organized, Be Inspired, that I hope is going to help me.

Gone away

2008-01-04T20:29:00.000-07:00

That huge icicle I posted a picture of a few days ago is nearly gone now. We had a really warm day today and almost all the snow is gone and all of the icicles have melted. Now we have a big storm coming in and it will start all over.

My oldest daughter

2008-01-04T20:09:00.000-07:00

My oldest daughter is 7 1/2 years old. Just this morning, before she left for school, I told I wanted to get some pictures of her. She's gone all day, and I work at night, so we don't get to spend much time together any more. I don't take very many pictures of her because of that. So here is just one of the ones I took.

Kindergarten

2008-01-03T15:45:00.000-07:00

One more page for my Mom's tribute album.

Another project - my scrap space.

My Mom

2008-01-02T16:03:00.001-07:00

Here is a layout of my mother when she was three years old. I am doing a kind of tribute album of her and this is going in it. They are 6x8 pages.

New Year, New Photos!

2008-01-02T15:48:00.000-07:00

This ice formation is right below our bedroom window. It is HUGE! This one is the stalagmite. There is (well, was...it has now been knocked down) an enormous stalagtite hanging from the gutter right above this. It hangs down between 3-4 feet! We're just lucky it didn't take the gutter with it when it got knocked down!

Christmas morning

2007-12-29T11:39:00.000-07:00

I caught my daughter just as she was passing a window on Christmas morning. I love the look on her face. It's so typical for her. I also love the natural lighting on her face. Let me know what you think!

Beginnings

2007-12-29T11:01:00.000-07:00

Well, I have decided to start this blog to post my scrapbooking pages and photos for you to see. Come back on January 1, 2008, and I will have more for you to see!
