The Lucky Irish....

Where do I begin.... Mr. Declan has the sweetest Irish name and the personality to match! He was OOOH so good for me at my FIRST newborn session in my NEW studio!!

Declan brought his Mom and Dad that couldn't have been more smitten with him! In fact the Mom kept saying quietly, "He is just so precious!" "I love him so much!" A mothers love for her child was SO amazing to witness and feel!

I hope you enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed creating them!

Getting Personal...

I've been wanting to share more about myself, my family, and our adventures! I've been inspired by a few great people lately to get out of my comfort zone and show the world who I AM!! I'm a quiet person in general but LOVE having adventures! My latest adventure in life has been growing my family and exploring the world around us! Although we can't fly to exotic places we do however love camping, traveling, boating, fishing and everything outdoors! After owning a tent for 6 years we upgraded to a pop-up camper last summer and LOVED it! This summer we have ventured even further into Minnesota Tradition and have purchased a Park Trailer.....which we like to refer to as "The Cabin". (driving it up from Iowa was a hole other adventure in its self...LOL) While up at "The Cabin" this weekend, getting ready for some renovations, I snapped a few pictures! I hope to share more of our crazy adventures with you as the year continues!!
ENJOY

NEW Studio Space....

Well Hello everyone!!

I'm super excited to announce what I've been working on for the last 2 months!!

Most of you know I've been in business "officially" for almost 7 years now and I've always shot on-location or out of my 'Home Studio'.

Well now I have something to ADD to that list!!!!

A NEW STUDIO located right in Minneapolis!

It's perfectly centered for those that travel far to see me!!

Right in the North East Art's District!

Not only does this building have cool exposed brick, old black and white tile boards, wood floors, lots of cool textured walls BUT it also use to be an old Coffee Mill!!

How perfectly fitting....if you know me, you know I LOVE coffee!!

Be sure to check out my Facebook Event Page and reply YES to the Open House being held March 3rd from 1pm-5pm!

Come check it out and say Hi!

Would love to see ALL your smiling faces!!

Also be sure to take advantage of my Open House Special....

Anyway....I brought my own kids in for a quick test run and they had a blast!
ENJOY!

Lucky #13....

Well I present you with an amazing miracle!!

This little man decide to come 5 weeks early!! Yes you read that right ...FIVE weeks!

He came into this world on a day that most would view as UN-lucky....Friday the 13th.

But he was as healthy as could be and Mom and Baby were home in just two short days!!

ENJOY!!

Backdrop CUBE......

I have been super busy around here and have been working on few things NEW to JG Photography!!

One thing that I'm launching today is a VERY HELPFUL tool for all those Newborn Photographers out there!!

You see before the Backdrop CUBE came along this is how I would have to set up for a newborn shoot.

It was always pretty tricky being quick and quiet while baby was sleeping if I needed to tear down the Bean Bag set up and get ready for the baskets and buckets! I was always being Mrs. Gumby and contorting myself to get the shot and stretch the blanket how I wanted...you guys know...clamping the sides to whatever props you have or having Mom or Dad hold a corner for you!!

Well here's where the Backdrop CUBE comes in!! For those Newborn Photographers out there that constantly struggling with getting those blankets nice and smooth!! This fits right over the Newborn Posing Nest / Bean Bag and has plenty of room around for adjustments. It also has room in back for the "Nest" to slide in and out if need be. The tall back is perfect for clamping your blankets up and over to get the perfect swoop in your blankets!

NO need to fummble around with your backdrop stands any more!! The tall back is also easy to take off for quick and easy storage!

Made out of PVC, light and easy to use!
