Julianna : St. Petersburg, Florida Family Session

August 16, 2015 by Jensey 5 Comments

Happy Friday!! I can’t believe we’re in mid-August, which is practically September, which means Halloween is just around the corner and then we can decorate for the holidays! Our fall wedding and travel schedule is so crazy, so I’m truly enjoying the calm before the wedding storm. We’ve been taking extra long walks with Huck, enjoying sunsets on our back patio, and I’ve even been getting a jump on our Christmas gifts. I sew about 1/2 of the gifts we give every year, so if I don’t start now, I’ll never get everything done in time! Sometimes I feel like my entire year is preparing for the holidays, and I’m perfectly fine with that. ;) How have your summers been?!

While we don’t have any recent sessions to share this month, I thought it’d be a great time to do some “spring cleaning” (summer cleaning?) and share some posts that kinda got lost between the cracks. The ones that have been collecting dust at the bottom of my WordPress drafts… Eek!

Here’s a sweet family session we did with past Root couple, Jenn and Alan, and their beautiful Julianna. <3

Kristen + Scott : Normandy Farm Wedding in Blue Bell, PA

August 14, 2015 by Jensey 3 Comments

And now some preview photos for the most patient couple ever- Kristen and Scott! <3

Kristen and Scott were married at Normandy Farm in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania- It was actually the second wedding we’ve photographed at this venue! Kristen found us through Hallpants’s parents when she used to work with them at Disney, and I couldn’t be happier that she remembered us when she got engaged. Kristen is happiness personified and truly became one of my all-time favorite brides, and I don’t know that I can remember a groom as smitten as Scott!

I’m so happy to have these two in our little Root family, but also as new friends. Can’t wait to share the rest soon, y’all! <3

CONTEST WINNERS!

August 13, 2015 by Jensey 10 Comments

Remember in JULY when we posted about a session giveaway with the deadline of July 31st, and initially gave ourselves like 48 hours to pick a winner, only to extend the contest to buy us more time? Well, that ended up being a whole other problem because then we got even MORE entries which only made it harder to choose!

I feel badly about taking so long to post the winners, but the truth is we got 60 entries this round, and I wanted to give sessions to everybody!! Seriously- The stories and photos we received were so touching and amazing and we couldn’t decide ourselves so we finally called in for help from Lorie and Jon, our best friends who have always helped us decide in the past. They happened to be driving their moving truck from Nashville to Seattle the day we sent emails, so we had their full, undivided attention. :)

SO. Without further ado, our TWO session winners are Kate R and Julianna, who nominated her niece, Summer! We’ll be sharing their entries when we blog their sessions. We can’t wait to meet you, Summer and Kate!

I told you the decision was hard, so this time we have a handful of second place winners as well. These guys will receive a mini session (15-20 minutes) and high-res images. Congrats to everyone shown below. Again, I look forward to sharing their stories soon!

Seriously- Thanks to all of you for entering and being so patient with us. I want to photograph you all, so we’re extending a 20% full-session discount to everyone who entered. :)

Nate will be in touch over email with details. Congrats to the winners and we’ll talk soon!! <3
