Family Portrait {Saint George, Utah}

This session was great! Easy subjects, my kids came along and behaved, and it was fun to see my friend. She is one of my favorite friends/clients EVER and her kiddos are darling. They have been trying to get family pictures taken for YEARS, but haven't been able to get their schedule together so that they could all be there. I am so happy I got to be the one to finally get the job done. ;) Thanks for a great afternoon guys! You're awesome!


You can check out the rest of this session HERE.

The Sweetest Baby Girl! {Saint George, Utah Newborn Photographer}

>

I had a great session last weekend! My very very good friend had a beautiful baby girl and she asked me to do her newborn photographs. It was such a fun night. I really had a rough day, so a little photo therapy was just what the doctor ordered that night. It was great to just chat and hand out while working on the session. NOT TO MENTION that her baby is gorgeous. She couldn't have been more mellow and perfect. Thank you for a great evening guys! It was such a pleasure for you to share your little bundle with me for a bit!

The Hamilton Family {Saint George, Utah Family Photographer}





I've photographed these darling girls before, but this time Daddy got to come too! It was so much fun. They were so good and the weather was perfect. I went to high school with their Mommy, and as always it was great to see her and chat for a bit. Thanks so much you guys!

More Mini Sessions {Moab Utah Family Portraits}





Here is another one of the "Christmas Special" sessions I did in Moab a few weeks ago. I photographed this cute family last year also. I LOVE repeat customers. It's so fun to see how fast their kids grow up! These guys were awesome. The kids were angels and Dad was a good sport the whole time. ;) I wish I could show you all of the images from their session! They had so many keepers. Thanks for a fun afternoon you guys! It was so fun to see you again.

Family Portraits {Saint George, Utah}

It's ALWAYS a pleasure doing pictures for these guys. It gives me my girl fix to get through another day in my testosterone filled life. ha ha ha. They have the prettiest girls and are so much fun. Thanks for a fun day and yummy Fargo's ice cream after!


Easter Mini-Sessions | Saint George, Utah Child Photographer

There's nothing cuter than kids in their brand spanking new spring clothes. The frills and dresses and darling bows and hats make me swoon. We have to stick with vests and ties at our house, but I digress . . . . There's no better time to have some portraits taken of your little ones. Here are the details: You chat with your Mommy friends and find a few other families that want portraits and we'll all go together to save you a little cash. Anywhere from 2-6 families (kids only) split a 2 hour session and the session fee of $150. Then, you can order prints of the images from that session at a 10% discount until May 15th. The session can be anytime until the end of April. We can do an indoor studio style session, or play at an outside location of your choice. You decide what's best for your family. So get your group together and give me a call! Get your spring portraits and a fun play date done all in one shot!! (Ha ha ha. One "shot." Get it? I didn't until I went back and read it again.)


Family Friends | Saint George Family Photographer

We met this great bunch through my husband's job and quickly became friends. They are so kind and fun to be around. Their beautiful granddaughter came to my preschool last year and is just the cutest little thing. I was happy to have an excuse to see them and chat for a bit. This is going to be an OVERLOAD of pictures!! I just couldn't narrow it down. Thanks so much you guys. You can see all of your images at the "client proofing" link at the top.

Beautiful Baby Girl!! {Saint George, Ut Newborn Photographer}

My goodness. I love pink and bows and all things girly. I had a lot of fun doing this shoot and my Mason hasn't stopped asking for a baby sister since! ;) Here are a few of my favorites from the day. Pretty girl and pretty Momma!




I'm putting your gallery up as we speak! If you want to see the rest you'll have to get the password from the proud Mommy.

If you are not a fan on Facebook, head over and get on it!! ;)

PS Don't forget. I need models from the class of 2011. If you or someone you know qualify, head on over HERE.

Another PS Here are a few shots of my little ones. They are good sports to always let me test the light on them before my sessions. I love my little family.




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!!

More beautiful kids! {Utah Family Photographer}

Can I just say these guys were ADORABLE!! The siblings are so cute with each other. In the few minutes I spent with them I could tell there is a lot of love in this little family. And aren't they all so good looking? It was a pleasure guys!

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!



The First of Many {Moab, Utah Family Photographer}

Seriously! I'm begging and groveling now. It's true. But I need your help! Time is running out. Go HERE and see how you can enter to win a free portrait session. Tell everyone you know!

Last weekend I had a HUGE family session. There were the parents, 5 adult children, a few spouses, and a whole slew of grand kids. I figured we would be there for a few hours, but the kids were so well behaved and everyone was happy. It only took a little over an hour. I wish I could say the same about editing them! The first thing I do after downloading and backing up photos from a session is to go through and delete the obvious. Test shots, eyes closed, flailing limbs, whatever. I did that for these guys and I still have 287 left. That's two HUNDRED eighty seven. So, slowly but surely I will get them done guys! I promise. Here is the first little family I met that day. Their kids were so full of personality and the parents were so cute and nice. Here is a sneak peak you guys!



Your gallery will be up by the end of today! Check it out. I will email you your password.

Moab Utah | Family Portrait Photographer

This little family was DARLING!! They ended up being my ONLY mini session on our trip to Moab. :( But they were worth every mile of the trip!! The middle boy cracked me up. I tried every trick I know to get him to look, let alone SMILE and he wouldn't crack. When he was good and ready, he warmed up. It was totally worth the wait! He is so stinking cute. And Big brother was awesome to help. Thanks you guys for a fun afternoon!! I am working on some really fun Christmas cards for them! wink wink. Go Cowboys! I am excited to show them!







There are more samples from their session on my Facebook Fan page!!! Check them out! And if you are in need of family Christmas Cards and portraits, I know someone you could call . . . . .

Moab Trip | Utah Family Photographer

We made a trip to Moab last weekend for a few sessions. I was a little disappointed when all but one of them canceled, but it was still a fun trip and I got to do a fun little shoot with the in-laws. Thanks for a great weekend guys! (There are more pics from their session on Facebook including a super cute one with my little munchkins. If you want, go check it out!)

I did another session with another DARLING little family that I am working on so check back soon!! Also, I want to show you the AMAZING float wraps I just got of the temple! Taking pictures of them and posting them is also on my list of things to do. For now, I'm off to finish watching the dumbest movie ever with the hubs. (Year One. Never watch it.) Love you hunny!






The Winners!

So I had a contest on facebook when I was designing my new logo. If you voted you were entered to win a FREE session. I was so happy when this darling girl won!! She was pregnant and I hoped I would get to get a few shots of her new little one. It was a girl and not only did I get to take her picture, but her BEAUTIFUL cousins and aunts got to come too!! I don't think I should take on any newborn baby girl clients for a while. I NEED A GIRL!!!! I love my boys, but there is something about the pink and the bows and the ruffly bum tights!! Baby M made this even WORSE because she was so pretty and well manored. Thank you guys so much for a GREAT afternoon!! You have a darling family.







Check out my Facebook fan page to see a few more pictures from this session. Check back soon I will be announcing my Christmas Card special!! I am super excited about this.

Welcome Home Elder C

One of my very good friend's brother came home from his mission and I got to do their family portraits. It was so fun to see them and this group seriously CRACKED ME UP! At one point the ENTIRE family broke out in the "Lollipop" song. Seriously. We ate lots of gummy worms and my kids (Spencer included) had fun playing while I worked. Thanks you guys for having us over and for a fun time. It was great to see you again!




There are more pics on my facebook fan page. (ARE YOU A FAN???) And your gallery is up. Shoot me an email and I'll give you the password!
