HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s my second favorite holiday and I’m officially able to share photos from our 3rd annual Halloween photo shoot with our charming nephews.

(See photos our little Peter Pan and Mickey + Donald shoots in the past!)

Hallpants’s favorite characters prevailed the great costume hunt this year, and he couldn’t be happier to be his favorite cowboy. :) Just wait till you see photos next week of the *whole* gang, but for now, enjoy my cute Disney-model-worthy nephews! :)

Lindsey + Grayson + Trennen : Germantown, Tennessee Family Portrait Session

October 19, 2015 by Jensey 2 Comments

Any session in my hometown is my favorite, and this one was no exception.

I’ve known Lindsey since we were kids, and this session took place in the woods behind her parents’s house… The same woods I grew up exploring when I was young. We’ve photographed Grayson since she was a baby, and it’s so fun to see her in her new role as awesome big sister! This was our first time meeting Trennen, the baby with the biggest smile you’ve ever seen. Trennen was born with spina bifida, and following Lindsey on Facebook has become one of my favorite things to see how this brave little boy is progressing every day (Also, there is no laugh as pure and joyful as Trennen’s!! Keep posting those videos!!) Lindsey, you are truly super mom, and it was such an honor to capture your sweet family again. :)

Liz + Bryan : Disneyland Anniversary Session

September 30, 2015 by Jensey 6 Comments

Oh, to be a west coast photographer. <3

I know the grass is always greener on the other side, but I’m so jealous of the opportunities Disneyland photographers have! Since Disney Fine Art Photography doesn’t exist on the west coast, outside photographers are just “photographers” and allowed to shoot in-park sessions. In park weddings, even! And bride and groom sessions in the park!!! I’m always swooning at the photos that come from out there. Maybe it’s just because of the new limitations regarding resort photo sessions out here, but I’m in the mood to reminisce about our Disneyland anniversary session with these two. :)

We photographed Liz and Bryan’s wedding in Orlando years ago, and when she wrote us asking if we’d come out to Disneyland for their anniversary session, my fingers couldn’t type out “YES!!” fast enough!! We love these guys, and their session happened to fall during Disneyland’s 60th anniversary, so I’m extra grateful they gave us the chance! We added a few days on to the trip, obviously, and I’ll be posting some of those photos over on my JenseyLoves blog in the near future. <3

We started the session in Nate and my favorite spot probably in the whole park- Brisa Courtyard at the Grand Californian Hotel. We waited forever for a monorail to pass, but no luck. I love the photos we got in the meantime, though! :)

Liz’s favorite ride is The Haunted Mansion, so we snuck around for some photos around the house. They hadn’t opened the extended queue yet, so I love that we got some empty photos at her favorite place! :)
