I had so much fun with this 9 day old little man yesterday...Although I'm sure he wouldn't say the same for me, because bless his heart, he was so over this crazy picture taking lady!!!...All he wanted to do was sleep, and truth be told, that's all his mommy and daddy and I wanted, too, but once the picture taking got under way, he'd get mad as a hornet at us...I bet once it was all said and done though, he probably went home and slept like a little angel last night...Well, inspite of all that, we had a GRRRREAT session, and I have so, so, so many favorites to post... I really could stay here all day posting away, but instead, I'm going to just put up the tiniest little preview teaser ever, and then I'll try my hardest to be back soon with more...Have a beautiful Sunday afternoon everyone and I'll see you all again very soon...-EPJ

Let's just say that the old expression, "raining cats and dogs", doesn't even begin to apply here...For today, we should've changed it to "raining horses and elephants" or something equally LARGE to match the amount of rainfall we experienced during today's session...So, today's sweet little family session was definitely a LONG time coming, as the last time we were scheduled to meet, we ended up having to reschedule due to severe thunderstorms and possible hail and tornadoes (I don't mess around with those tornado warnings!)...Well, today, I wasn't going to let anything stand in our way and I set out on a mission, and by golly, I wasn't going to leave until I accomplished it!!!...Of course, within 5 minutes of my arrival, the entire family watched me squeal like a little baby girl and run like a puppy with it's tail between it's legs when the lightening practically seemed to hit the porch we were all standing on!!!...Thankfully, all was well, and shortly thereafter we were able to get started...It was wet, soggy, muddy and WAY WAY WAY overcast, and not quite an hour later, the bottom fell out of the sky all over again, but in that small window of opportunity, we were able to get a number of precious shots that I know mommy and daddy and the rest of the family will just love!...And I have to say, normally I don't do and have never done an entire sneak preview of all black & whites, and even though I have plenty color shots from today, it only seemed fitting with the weather like it was, to bring out the good ol' classic B&W shots to remember the afternoon as it was...So, please enjoy this little tease, and I'll see you all again very soon!...-EPJ

If you thought taking pictures of one year old twins and their 3 month old cousin would be difficult, then you were SOOOOO wrong ;)...Totally a piece o'cake!!!...Actually, now that I think about it, I still have the scent of A & E's yummy & beautiful birthday cake all over me, even 3+ hours later...Mmmmmmmmmm!!!...So good though!...So, today was actually lots of fun (no stress at all, right mommy?) and we got bunches of precious pics of these sweet babies, even if the mommies and daddies in attendance thought otherwise...So, without further ado, here's y'alls little preview for tonight, and I hope y'all enjoy...There are plenty more to follow very, very soon...Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Memorial Day tomorrow and as always, I'll be back soon with more!...-EPJ

Well, as usual, it's been a BUSY month around my neck of the woods to say the very least...May is always a little bit crazy for me with all the end of the school year stuff, recitals, birthdays, parties, etc, etc, etc...And today didn't slow down one little bit either...On top of it being my oldest daughter's birthday today (HAPPY BIRTHDAY sweetie!!!), I also got to (thankfully!) leave the crazy pre-teen sleepover that was happening at home, and head over to the studio to meet this super sweet, super mobile 3 month old!!!...Bless his heart, I guess nobody told him that he's only three months old and he's not supposed to move around so much, but he was trying to roll over half the time, and I swear he was trying to scoot everywhere the rest of the time!!!...What a busy little bee! ...But we all had fun together on this dreary Saturday, and I'm really looking forward to getting a run for my money tomorrow when little J comes back for a visit with his one year old TWIN cousins!!!...So, here's the teensiest little sneek peak of this morning (from the very first sleepy shot of the morning, all the way up to J getting fed up with us for all the cute little hat changes!) and then I'm gonna go and rest up for J and A and E tomorrow, 'cause from what I hear, it sounds like I'm going to need my energy ;) ...Be back soon!...-EPJ

What a beautiful, BEAUTIFUL wedding weekend we had around here!!!...Everything was so unbelievably spectacular: the church, the reception, the weather, the families, the friends, and of course the beautiful couple themselves!!!...It really couldn't have been more perfect if you had tried (especially once the air kicked in inside the church!)...B & P, you and your families & friends are all so incredibly wonderful, and I truly cannot thank you all enough for allowing me the honor and privilege to be a part of your special day...I always say that I'm so blessed to be able to do what I do, and I always feel it even more so when I walk away from a wedding feeling so much love & happiness in the air, and feeling like I didn't just have a shoot with clients, but with friends :) ...I wish you both all the best, much love and happiness forever & ever, and I hope y'all are having an absolutely amazing, fantabulous, and (most importantly) SWINE-FLU-FREE honeymoon!!!...Here's just a wee smidgen of a tease for today, because later this week, I plan on posting just a few more of my personal favs!!!...See y'all soon...-EPJ
