Twenty-Eleven

January 1, 2011 by Jensey 15 Comments

I always love the feeling a fresh year brings. I love the clean slate, and the chance to start over and focus on self-improvement. Last year, I made huge changes on the way I live and how I spend my time. Every new year, I start off dreaming big for my resolutions, and then get disappointed in myself when I fall short. This year, I thought I’d keep my resolutions manageable. Whether I stick to all 11 or just 3 of these, my life will be changed for the better. :)

My top 11 resolutions for 2011 :

1. Date nights with Nate once a week.

2. Eat more fruits and veggies & move more!

3. Cut our debt in half!

4. Spend more time with people who build me up, not knock me down.

5. Baby-sit for friends with kids so they can have a night out.

6. Perform random acts of kindness each month.

7. Blog at least four times every week.

8. Go to bed by midnight each night and make and stick to office hours.

9. Spend the year making sure the people I love know I love them.

10. Have our work featured in three magazines and on five blogs.

11. Dream big for the business… Once a month “board meetings” to keep ourselves on track.

Do you have any big resolutions for 2011? And because it’s not a post unless I share a photo, here’s another one of Huck in snow. :)

Top Ten of Twenty-Ten

December 31, 2010 by Jensey 10 Comments

I can’t believe it’s New Years’ Eve. Can’t. Believe. It. We thought we’d try something new this year- A top 10 list of our favorite blog posts from the year. Can you believe this is our 151st blog entry to be published since our launch in May? Crazyness! Anyway, come revisit some of our most favorite memories from the year. Thank you to everyone who made this year a true success for us, especially to our amazing couples who trusted us with their memories. :)

Our favorite family session, ever: April, Josh, and Huxley in New Orleans. :)

It was kind of like the big season finale. But in Africa. And not really a finale.

After returning from weeks abroad, I made some huge changes to how I spent time on the internet. It truly changed my life.

We always love our couples, but we love them extra when they provide such incredible opportunities!

Epic. Disney. Wedding.

It’ll still be a while until my Africa Trip Report is ready, so we hope the 9 photos in this preview hold you over!

Again, we love our couples, but things get mushy when they run with crazy ideas.

Nick introduced us. Nate was in the wedding. I shot the day alone. It was crazy!

New York City. <3

Two hours for photos of just the bride and groom? In San Francisco? Yes, please!

So, I cheated and added an 11th favorite. But it involves Huckleberry AND dinosaurs, so you *have* to forgive me. :)

Wishing you the happiest New Year yet. Here’s to another magical year of good photos and great people. :)

Lorie + Jon : Wedding Reception

December 20, 2010 by Jensey 12 Comments

So, hopefully by now you all remember the story about how Jon proposed to Lorie. If not, you can read about it here, but it went a little something like this:

Both the proposal and dinner reception took place at Southall Eden in Franklin, TN– A location unlike any other I’ve been to. :) Jon chose to pop the question there because they’d already planned on having a wedding reception at the barn for family and friends following their semi-elopement in Tanzania, Africa. :) All caught up now? Good! Well, Lorie worked her booty off making their reception dinner on a budget something special, and she totally succeeded. :)

Not only did Lorie do all of the floral arrangements on her own, but she also made personalized coloring books for her nieces and nephews that came. :)

It’s pretty rare that we get place cards, so that had to be documented. :)

More of Lorie’s handy-work: I adored her dessert menu on a blackboard and mini-cherry pies handmade by Jon. :)

The night was perfect and allowed for us to mingle with Lorie and Jon’s families, and show off some of our Africa photos. :) Nate took some room shots once all the other guests left:

Special thanks to Dawn of Premiere Wed for helping Lorie’s vision come to life! (And for bringing me a Diet Coke that I completely forgot to pay you back for! Sorry!!)
