where we at?

Posted in: News

January 6 2012

Where we at? Where we at? Where we AT!? Ok so this is the time of year where things happen. From bridal shows to trade shows we’re all over the place.

Lets start with January…

January 15,16 & 17th I’ll be hanging at IMAGING USA in New Orleans! I’m stoked for this trip because I’ve never been and on the real I’m dying for some sausage gumbo! While I’m not seeing the sights on this too short of a trip you’ll fine me at the mpix pro / Millers Lab booth. I’ll also be with my friends at drop it MODERN booth (i heard it might have just a little bit of spangled going on).

Monday Jan 16th
2:30pm hanging at drop it MODERN before my talk below..
3:15pm speaking at Millers Booth. I’ll have a few giveaway’s as well as a new product from drop it MODERN to share!

Tuesday Jan 17th
10am hanging at the drop it MODERN booth.

If you’re heading to IMAGING and you follow this blog please come say hi! We not tweet up?

Sunday January 22nd Glen Sanders Bridal Show 11:00am – 3:00pm

I’ll be honest and tell you I’m not a fan of bridal shows but if you’re going to head to one this is the ONLY one in the area I’m a huge fan of. Also, this is the only show we do and we’ve been there for the past 6 or 7 years. We love this show because if you take a look at our blog most of the weddings we do are with the Mansion Catering group and at all their properties. More importantly if we haven’t met you and we’re doing your wedding we’d love for you to stop by and say wassup and get your blog stalker button!

Another Event thats happening in January is Cocoa and Clementine. If you’ve heard of The Pink Orange you probably love their designs. They have a trunk show for stationary! You won’t want to miss this one. Here is the page to RSVP because if you do there will be something special waiting for you!

February!

We photographers know what February means! WPPI!!! If you’re a photographer and you don’t go to WPPI or have not been I must ask what the hell are you waiting for? Seriously, this is THE place to be. I always come home inspired and ready to kill it! I love me some WPPI! I’m so honored to have been asked to present my second platform class at WPPI this year!! I’ll be presenting Wednesday Feb 22nd at 2:30pm so save the date yo!! I’m pretty pumped up for this! I’ll blog my WPPI schedule when we get closer but I can tell you I’ll be presenting at Zenfolio’s booth and Millers as well, I just don’t know the times yet.

Peace,
JP

    Voted for Marie & Steve- This Fireman’s bride has a great sense of humor and the couple will have the best chance of success with their marriage because they have that key ingredient!

ashley + paul = paul

Posted in: Kids / Family

December 26 2011

I’d be willing to bet you remember Ashley and Paul from their bump session I posted back in November. Well, since then their little bundle of joy arrived and just in time for the holidays! Ashley and Paul had me over to their beautiful home to capture this handsome little addition to their family. I absolutely love doing shoots with these guys because Ashley has everything all set and is so great at styling these shoots. They really make me look good! I couldn’t be happier for them and look forward to sharing more future sessions with them! I know you’ll enjoy these! Ashley and Paul, thank you again and congrats to you both!! Happy Holidays to you all!

Peace,
JP

Last time we saw Ashley and Paul this is where we left off..

We’ll set it off with easily my favorite from the whole session.. So awesome.

How cute is he?

A couple Mom n Dad shots..

The Christmas image. So cute..

The family..

I love this one.

I’m not one to blog detail shots of a babies room but this was the coolest I’ve ever seen. Not you’re typical pink or blue baby room.

Another one of my favorites..

How perfect are those feet?

Props to him for hanging in there this long!

One last image.. congrats again to you guys!
