Two Men and a Little Lady {Saint George, Utah Newborn and Child Photographer}

I know 3 things about this little girl.
#1 She has the CUTEST little baby nose I've ever seen.
#2 She LOVES her Mamma.
#3 She DOES NOT love my big bright lights!!
She was perfectly happy for our session. . . . As long as she was cuddled up with her Mommy and I didn't flash her with the lights. Ha ha ha. Can you blame her?? And big brothers were there to take great care of her. The younger one was the FUNNIEST about the monkey I have in my camera. (Let me know if you haven't met my monkey. I'd be glad to introduce you.) Thanks for letting me take pictures of your beautiful baby. It really was a pleasure. PS Kristi you are GORGEOUS!!





Your gallery will be up in an hour or so!! Go to the sidebar and click on Client Proofing. Find your gallery and enter the password. (Which I will email you soon!) Feel free to share the password with your family and friends! Thanks again!!

Big Finish! {Moab, Utah Family Portrait}


Finally! I get to let this cute family know their gallery is up! Go to the sidebar on the right and click on "Client Proofing." Find your gallery and enter the password. (Kelly and Traci have it if you don't already know what it is.) You can order prints right from there, OR you can order them through me. Click on "Order Pricing and Information" on the sidebar and find the order form you can print off, fill out, and mail in. Make sure you use the proof number on the bottom with your name first (i.e.: joeandsusan045) NOT the randomly generated number at the top! If you are getting larger prints you may want them mounted on styrene. If that is the case, order them from me and not the site. Feel free to contact me if you have ANY questions and thanks for being so patient!! It really was such a pleasure getting to know your family. Keep me in mind if you need photos in the future!!

P.S. If any of you are on Facebook, COME FIND ME!!

Sneak "Peak" gone wild! {Saint George, Utah Engagement Photographer}

Okay, so I meant to choose one or two pictures from this session to show these guys while they are waiting for me to finish the two sessions ahead of them. . . . Obviously that plan did not go quite as I had anticipated. There were WAY to many that I loved to pick one or two. So. . . . .



Dear Packard Family and Baby C,
My family is watching a movie, so I whipped out the ol' computer for a little editing fun. It is THEIR fault I did not work on your pictures tonight while I had a few spare minutes. I am really sorry. I just couldn't help myself. Yours will be done soon.
Love, Jenny

Dear Cayly and Mike,
Thank you for a fun afternoon. You guys are darling and I wish you well on your trip home and your upcoming marriage!! If you are ever in Saint George again and need more photos, don't hesitate to call!! I still have 230 more of your images to go through, but these are a few of my favorites. I will let you know when your gallery is up!!
Love, Jenny
P.S. Are you all on facebook?? Find me and I'll put some on so all your friends can see. Make sure you get on my fanpage AND my personal page or I can't tag ya! Thanks again. You rock.

Two More Darling Families {Moab, Utah Family Photographer}

Here is a little sneaky peaky for two more of the families I shot Thanksgiving weekend. (Only two families and the BIG group shots left! Hang in there guys!) I know I've said it before, but this family rocks. So many good pics to choose from. Once I'm done with this family, I have some cute newborn baby girl shots and an engagement session from today to get ready for their online galleries. Do you think I can finish by the end of the week? I hope so!

I've been listening to a web seminar ALL DAY today! I took a little break to shoot some engagements and then back to the computer. I've learned a TON and can hardly wait to try out all of these new ideas. Know anyone who is a Junior in High School right now?? Check back for an awesome Senior Model program I'm starting up.

Hope you are having a great end to 2009 and a fun holiday season. I am loving being with my family and SLEEPING IN. Check back again soon! Lots of fun things in store for Jenny Lynn Photography. I can hardly wait!!

Another Darling Family {Moab, Utah Family Photographer}

Christmas at our house has been so much fun. We've slept in until at least 10:00 every morning and spent the days playing with the kids and editing photos. We may be poor school teachers, but it pays off on weeks like this! I love my little family.

Here is another family I photographed Thanksgiving weekend. I cannot believe how well behaved their kiddos were! And super cute too. It was so much fun. I have three more families to do from this shoot AND the GREAT BIG group shots to go through. I promise I will get them ALL finished before school starts again! Thanks guys for a great day!
