One of my most fav families for sure... so talented and just love their background. Instantly bonded with them being that she is from Boston, one of my most fav cities EVER! Husband is from Africa with a delightful accent! Must go to Africa, on my bucket list for sure! Babies are one of my most fav subjects to capture. They are so fresh and innocent. I miss not having babies anymore but so thankful for my job, where I can hold and be around them and then leave just in time for a diaper change :)

October 5&6 call or email me at Jschomaker@mac.com

2009-10-03T09:11:00.000-07:00

When you call or email me on either of those two days get half off your session and I still donate to Operation SMILE! I support this effort 100% and want to make it even that much easier for you to get on board as well. You can show your kids how you can help other children by taking family pictures. Help introduce them to this concept... my kids love it! All pictures must be taken in October and does not apply to weddings.

Last year with PPA help we raised over 50,000 lets help do it again! Thanks in advance!

Filled with tons of great give aways, food, and fun. If you are interested in more info, go to her site at www.strictlycurls.com

June Give Away

2008-06-13T14:31:00.001-07:00

Its that time again, and to honor fathers I want to give away some really cool hip new scrap booking products. This line ROCKS. It is more my style of scrap booking that is for sure... check it out www.glitzitnow.com . I am an old school scrap booker, who really used scraps LOL... but I love embelishments so this is my kind of thing... love details! However, like to only spend so much time on it, hence hybrid scrap booking I think that is what they call it, to me it basically cuts time in half and you still get a cool customized look..... What better way to celebrate that special man by creating a fun page, or card for them. I will include some of the cool products I recently shot for them.

So, this month until middle of next month, I am looking for submissions about their fathers or grandfathers and whoever is picked will receive a bag FULL of fun stuff from this company. Must submit online as a post.

Happy Fathers Day!

2008-06-03T00:08:00.001-07:00

The month of June is a Special Month... I love my father dearly... we were best friends growing up, he was always there to make me LAUGH, wipe away my tears, give me a hug or shoulder to cry on.... my first driving stick shift experience, my first boyfriend, my first break up, my marriage, my first baby, so many firsts with him, and I miss him sooo much... so I just wanted to dedicate this month to him... and share some of my favorite pictures of fathers and kids...

Also, during the month of June all canvas orders placed will receive 25% off.

Dr. Sudha Gateway Pediatrics

2008-03-31T07:03:00.000-07:00

See below for project details.......

http://www.gatewaypediatricsaz.com/ This doctor is great! She hired me to take pictures of her special needs kids at her practice. The project has touched my heart in a way a didn't know it would. It just proves to me how strong our spirits really are dispite our situations and circumstances. This one boy imparticular brought that to light. He could barely hold his head up let alone his body, and his mom put him on the ground next to some stairs... he was determined he took his whole body, his head included and climbed those stairs. It was such a neat experience to see.... I have loved working on this project and hope to continue to do projects like this in the future. I have included some of my favorite pictures from the shoots... more to come as we are scheduling more sessions at the end of the month.

I also wanted to commend the parents of these kids, they are truely HEROS!

True Color

2008-01-25T11:08:00.001-08:00

What's Your True Color?

My Result: Green

You're green, the color of growth and vigor. Good-hearted and giving, you have a knack for finding and bringing out the best in people. Green is the most down-to-earth color in the spectrum — reliable and trustworthy. People know they can count on you to be around in times of need, since your concern for people is genuine and sincere. You take pride in being a good friend. For you, success is measured in terms of personal achievement and growth, not by status or position. Rare as emeralds, greens are wonderful, natural people. It truly is your color!

What are you?

Question: What is the brand name of my favorite Petti skirt?

Who ever replies with the correct answer and the most referrals wins... referrals meaning, tell all you know about this site and brand and have them reply to this post with your name in the post somewhere and the correct answer. Must follow these directions to win.

This should be an easy one...

Speaking of this, I have an amazing project again with this AMAZING BRAND and I need two year olds- send me a snap shot of your two year old or forward this email. The designer- (hint) Kandi has a new line and has asked me to photograph it by Jan. 9th... so who ever I pick will get a complimentary session and one 5x7.
