Valentine's Day Mini Session

I'm thinking of doing a V-day mini session to break up the long cold winter:)  It would be mid to late January and would be for a 20-30 minute session and would include an online gallery of 5-10 images, and either 3 mini accordion albums (similar to the example below) OR 24 press printed cards (like the 2 images beneath the mini albums) and a disk of the low resolution images for printing image up to 4x6.  There would be an option to buy additional prints, items and digital images for 25% off the current rate.  The cost would be $125.00 for the session and mini albums OR cards with an option to upgrade to the folded cards (last picture below) for an additional 25.00.  If you would be interested in the details email me at jennifer@jenniferannephotos.com :)

If you or someone you know would make a great 2012 Senior Rep please contact me at jennifer@jenniferannephotos.com to apply for one of the spots and learn more about the program.

Oh Happy Day!- {Cleveland Newborn Baby Child Senior Photographer}

A few days ago I got not 1 but 2 packages in the mail that made ma absolutely giddy.  One was my brand new pined after lens, the canon 50mm 1.2L (LOVE IT) and the other was my sample albums for next year.  Oh My Goodness they are incredible.  I tried out Kiss albums because they are top of the line and one of the few companies I could find that do all of their pages on true photographic paper, instead of being press printed.  the downside to press printed is that many time you lose a lot of the clarity and details in the press paper.  I also wanted to go with screened pages  rather than drop in albums because you will never lose or misplace or end up with a crooked print.  These images are here for life and even after being man handled my my 3 year old I just took a dry cloth and wiped his little fingerprints right off.  I also love this company because of the simplicity.  They have 2 different styles, leather or linen, and seven color choices.


 I will preface these photos by saying that I am not a product photographer and if you want to truly appreciate the magnificence of these you have to hold one in your own hands-so stop over and I will be happy to share:)

I ordered 3 different colors and 1 linen and 2 leathers.  They all come in their own cloth bags.


4 inch mini album on top, 8 inch in the middle and 10 inch on the bottom.


My little mini album in apple green leather

The 8 inch leather in red

The 10 inch linen set up as a session album with one image per page, in navy blue.


My mini using the exact same layout as my leather album, just in a smaller size:)

The layout of these is a custom designed "coffee table album" aka multiple photos per spread.


The pages on the leather album are super thick and the album is actually quite heavy.

All of the albums, whether leather or linen, are lay flat pages so you can do full spreads to cover both pages.

My final verdict is I love them and I know you will too:)

My Founding Family...

I owe this gorgeous woman and her just as gorgeous baby a lot of credit for getting my little business off of the ground.  She has gotten more word out about me than I have and she always puts a smile on my face by giving me the best compliments on my pics:)  I got lucky enough to photograph the whole family this time and let me tell you it was AWESOME!  They are so good looking and little Jack is my angel.  He woke up from his nap in the car and leaned right into my arms for a hug.  I LOVE him!  But you will feel the same way too after you check out his baby blues:)  Alana-all I can say is you rock and your little rockstar has the key to my heart.

Maternity Pictures and why I love them...

Though I personally have never had pictures taken while I was pregnant I absolutely LOVE capturing the joy and excitement that ever pregnant woman experiences in their pregnancy (at least after the morning sickness). I swear the sheer happiness is catchy:) Thank you to Kari and Ken for sharing this beautiful moment in time with me.

Picture this.

It is so hard to ask someone to look at a bunch of pictures and decide how they would like to hang them up on their walls. I look at pictures every day and I struggle a lot with how to group things and what sizes to recommend for portraits. At least I did. I just got the most AMAZING product that will allow me to SHOW each client how their pictures would look in a specific room . They will see which size will look best, which pictures complement each other and whether color, black and white or a mix of the two will look best. I have been playing with these all night and these are just a few of my favorites that I have come up with for recent sessions. I plan on using this for every session now and I have to assume that everyone will love seeing the potential of their portraits as much as I do:)











And I couldn't help coming up with a few display ideas for myself:)

I got my first batch of Christmas Card Templates in and I am loving them:) These are all flat 5x7 (or 5x5) cards and all the fronts and backs are interchangeable so the possibilities are endless.  When ordering please indicate which front and back you would like by the sample #'s below.  I also have folded and tri-fold cards that I will be working on. Let me know what you think!  (PS  These are full bleed cards so the white border you see around them will not be on the actual card)
