Sarah’s Bridal Session
June 15, 2008 – 8:41 pm
The day after shooting Jennifer and Demas’ wedding we drove to League City to shoot Sarah’s bridals. I’m not going to post any until after the wedding but wanted to show off just one.
Isn’t she beautiful? Robert is a lucky guy!
Let’s head to Bluebonnet Country!!

Change @ JLP: Pricing Revamp
February 28, 2008 – 3:48 pm
After a hard look at our 2008 price list, we realized they’re way too complicated. Even with built-in collections, our current brides stepped outside the box and customized their own packages to reflect exactly what they’re looking for. So we thought, “Why even bother offering collections?”
Beginning Feburary 27, 2008, all previous 2008 price lists are no longer valid. (except for current, booked clients) E-mail us at janellelynnphotography@gmail.com for a new list!
take a look at this. . . .

Hubby has been studying real hard at janelle lynn’s school of photography and I’m amazed at his images from Stephanie’s bridal session. He’s really starting to come into his own with regards to composition and and lighting. Check it out:
In this image, he captured a perfect side profile shot. Not only did he expose her well - the background is blown out just enough so not to distract from his main subject.
Hubby found this patch of light that he spent 10 minutes positioning Stephanie in just right. The sun was setting around this time and kept moving. Everytime he got her in the right spot, then setup his shot, the sun would move and he’d have to move her all over again. :-P I told him not to worry, overtime he’ll be able to setup shots faster.
Another one he shot of Stephanie twirling in her pretty dress. I love how the light hits her face just right while seeing the motion of her dress and veil.
GREAT job hubby!!!
Our Weekend
February 24, 2008 – 10:39 pm
Hey Guys!
Well…it has been an eventful weekend for the both of us! Tiger Woods won yet another golf tournament to move him ahead of Arnold Palmer for career wins, and get this: Tiger is only 32 yrs old! Also, we went to Ayleene and Andell’s baby shower, and had a great time there. It was a beautiful event, and we hope thst when our time comes, that we can have a shower thrown for us like the one we were at today. 
The highlight of our weekend has to be Stephanie’s bridal shoot on Sat. in Spring, TX. This was our 1st “official” collaboration, and I can’t be more proud of it than I am. Right now, we are watching the Academy Awards, and are actually enjoying it. Fancy that, huh?! Anyway, here’s hoping everyone has a great week, and let me say to all of you: Go out there and vote! Primary elections are on March 4th, but early voting is in progress. Ok, that’s it!
Cheers!

Stephanie’s Bridal Session
February 23, 2008 – 11:14 pm
Whew! What a long day! Today, hubby and I shot Stephanie’s bridals at Fontenot Grand Mansion in Spring, TX. Originally, she wasn’t planning to have bridals taken but after her engagement session in January she changed her mind. I LOVE it when this happens as, for me, it’s one of the highest compliments a client can give me. Stephanie loved her engagement pictures so much that she couldn’t pass up an opportunity to get pictures in her beautiful dress. In my opinion, she not only got pictures in her beautiful dress she got GORGEOUS pictures! Her hair and make-up was done by the FABULOUS Andrea Walker of Makeup By Andrea. I KNOW Stephanie is checking the blog for her sneak peek so without further adieu here it is! (warning! LOTS and LOTS of images ahead)
The ‘classic’ portrait:
A few more:
It’s soooooo much fun being a bride. While we were setting up for a shot, hubby caught Stephanie twirling around.
The grounds at Fontenot Mansion are beautiful both inside and outside as there were so many nooks and crannies to shoot. The staff was so nice and accomodating. We basically had the run of the place - we could move anything, i.e. furniture, vases, etc. we wanted as long as we put it back.
Bridal sessions for brides can be pretty nerve-wracking. At engagement sessions, there’s two of you and you can play off each other’s nervous energies. At bridal sessions, you’re IT. I pride myself in getting couples and brides to relax that by the end of the session we’re having so much fun that they forget about the camera.
I LOVE the eyelashes:
Last, but not least the little details:
the ring, of course!
the pretty shoes:
and what’s a wedding dress without pretty jewlery?
This was one of the longest sessions on record for JLP - 3.5 hours and we had a BLAST hanging out with Stephanie and her mom Donna. We cannot wait to shoot your wedding in March.
Note to current clients (and prospective ones) let’s schedule a bridal session!!! If it’s not already included in your current contract let me know and we’ll work it out.
