Happiness

Jamie — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 20:48:32 +0000

After my short vacation this summer I had a string of 3 maternity sessions in my first week back, and each of them are expecting their first child to be a girl! I know I say it time and time again, but it is such a pleasure to meet new clients during such a joy filled time in their lives. This enthusiastic couple had me in stitches almost from the moment I walked into their house. Their happiness pouring from their faces in anticipation of their first child. Congratulations Mom and Dad, looking forward to meeting your little angel in October!

This gorgeous mother-to-be is a personal friend of mine. She contacted me when she first found out she was expecting to plan this maternity session. She grew up in the mountains, so we wanted to show her love of nature in the belly photos. I also knew I had a willing and absolutely stunning model, and together we tried out ideas I have been wanting to do for a very long time. I must say, she did fabulous! We captured so many spectacular images I had to hold back from posting her entire session on the blog. Congratulations Cassandra, I love you bunches!

The Gift of Praise

My friend Lisa introduced me to this expecting couple when we ran into them at the farmers market last month. Mom knew all about me upon our introduction, and with great enthusiasm she quickly named off a several clients that I have photographed in the past. Knowing that she has heard positive things about me many times through different friends is so humbling, for the power of referrals is one of the greatest gifts I can receive from my clients. Thank you all for the kudos you continue to bless me with. Mom and Dad, I was thrilled to go capture your memories, and our time together did not disappoint. I left with a smile on my face, looking forward to coming back to meet your little girl in just a few weeks. Congratulations once again!

Introducing Sasha

Jamie — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 21:03:54 +0000

I have been a bit behind on all my computer work due to the fact that I have had two very special guests at my house for the last week. My two nieces from Washington DC have blessed me by spending the remainder of their summer with me. The girls are 5 and 12 years old, and bring with them lots of activity and a demand for my attention. How do you mom’s juggle everything? Whew! I had hopeful thoughts that I would be able to work on the computer while they are here, but I have hardly found time to do so… I have two more photo sessions after this one to post later on this week along with pictures of the girls. For now, we are packing to leave to the coast for a few days.

Thank you mom and dad for your generous patience. I know we took these images almost two weeks ago. So without further delay, please meet 5 day old Sasha and her two year old sister Samantha. What truly special moments we were able to capture together. Sasha was so cooperative, and even gave us few smiles. And we were even fortunate enough to get some great moments with her toddler sister. I hope you are thrilled so far! Enjoy.

Anticipating little sister

I have been following Samantha since she was an infant. Fast forward two years and she is about to become a big sister! What a perfect little belly mom has at 34 weeks along. Congratulations Sammy and family, I am excited to meet your newest addition!!

Fields, and tractors and horses, oh my!

Jamie — Thu, 06 May 2010 21:32:10 +0000

On a magical spring morning last week, I had the opportunity to take a drive through the countryside to visit these soon to be parents. Mom did not seem to be daunted one bit by the fact that she is only a couple weeks away from having her little girl. She is active, happy, and of course beautiful. Dad surprised me with his personality, wanting to be fully involved in the creation process of these images, as well as keeping me smiling all session long. I left their home with tears in my eyes, partially from laughing so hard, but also from what I think is the first sign of allergies?

We took photos all around their house, both inside and out. I am excited to share with you just a few of the most unique ones I have done at a maternity session. I love embracing the personality of a couple, and I have a feeling that these photos in the field are uniquely them! Even their nursery is decorated with a cowgirl theme.

The horse pictured is one of two that they had. The second wanted to be right in the action as well. I have not been around horses for a long time, when I was in high school (more than 15 years ago) I ‘attempted’ to ride one, and haven’t tried since. Needless to say, I had to reacquaint myself with this majestic animal. I was a bit nervous at first, but quickly became comfortable.

Imagine me leaning against a large mule behind me, pushing him out of the way with my back, just so I can take a picture, it was all quite comical. If there was a time to get a wide shot of me taking photos during a session, this would be it! To make things even more interesting, their paint horse was showing an unusual amount of interest in mom’s baby bump, and would bite dad’s hand every time he tried to touch her belly.

Congrats Mom and Dad, I am sure we will have even more fun photographing your little girl in a week or two!

Lab brothers

Jamie — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 18:30:11 +0000

Meet Sidney and Berkeley, two sweet black labs with their loving parents. The labs are a big part of this family, which is about to expand to include baby brother soon. Congratulations mom and dad, your long wait is just about over!

Welcome baby Keira

Jamie — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 22:44:31 +0000

Meet 9 day old Keira and her sweet little smile. It has been more than a month since photographing newborns, and I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to capture this angel girl as my first in awhile. Besides the frequent snack breaks, Keira slept soundly and let me move and photograph her without a fuss.

Mom and dad were both easy going and great to work with too. I found the perfect spot in their beautiful home to photograph in, with one small issue, there was a dining room table made for a king in the way. With a little ingenuity and teamwork, dad and I were able to move the massive table out of the way of our perfect home studio. I could not have asked for a better family to help me get back into the swing of things. Thank you guys for a delightful session!

Expecting her First

Jamie — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 00:38:43 +0000

I am reminded every day how lucky I am to have my photography career. I have the opportunity to get to know some wonderful families and help create their memories. My clients oftentimes become new friends of mine over the course of a session. This mommy and I bonded for several hours after our session and I feel so fortunate to have met her. Cannot wait to photograph her baby boy when he arrives!

The new look of I See Beauty Photography

Jamie — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 19:22:43 +0000

Over the next couple of months I will be unveiling some exciting changes in the look of I See Beauty Photography. Today I am delighted to show you the first of these changes with my new blog and logo! I have worked for months with a graphic designer to come up with a logo that expresses my true personality and style of photography. The sweet hand drawn baby brings a smile to my face every time I look at him. The olive branch represents the pure organic nature of my photographic style along with representing the fact that I am indeed an eco-friendly business. Please take a look around and let me know what you think.
