The Jones', The Pope's, and The Shalois'
I apologize from being absent from the blog for a while. I am blessed at how truly busy I have become, and when you add that it's FINALLY SUMMER (YAY!), I have been shuffling from the studio to ballgames, to cookouts, to birthday parties, to graduation parties, and shooting in there as well! :) My Senior Rush starts next week, and we have some exciting things coming up, and some big suprises in store for this summer. Stay Tuned!
First up to the bat, The Jones'...
Doug & Cindy are dear friends of ours. They have been my own personal cheerleaders in the making of this dream I call my business, and we could not imagine having them in our life. So when Caitlin (Their daughter) called me and said I want to do something special for mom, I was busting at the seams... It was a suprise :) Ihave been withholding this blog, but now that it is no longer a super suprise, I wanted to share some really special images with you.
This is my absolute favorite.. only because it's so them :) Plus, Cindy and I are usually laughing when we are around each other :)
Well, Hello :)
When Doug was a child, his Grandfather used to take him for rides on this very tractor. Adam is their first grandchild, and so Doug wanted a special image taken of Adam on that very special tractor.
Thank You, guys. I love you!
Next up, The Pope's...
When Emily and I were little, our family called us the "Tornado Twins". There was no room we couldn't destroy. We had our mouths washed out with soap together (I know, you can't believe this about me, can you?!), We used to tell people we were twins and our moms each took one of us, we prank called people from the pay phone at the local gas station, and we would beat people up for each other. Emily was the sister I never had, and I was the un-sister out of her sisters. We continue to have a bond that cannot be broken. I am blessed to have photographed her beautiful family when they were home a couple of weeks ago, and to have spent so much time with her. I am grateful for her to still be a big part of my life, even though she lives so far away.

Thank you for sharing your family with me. I love you, guys! XOXO
And on deck, The Schalois Family...
I had the pleasure of meeting the Schalois for the first time during our last set of QuickTakes. Kase & Korbin, and their mom Teresa and I had so much fun! At the end of the session, Teresa scheduled a full family shoot, because her daughters would be home. This family is so gorgeous!
I loved their color coordination, very stylish!
Kase & Korbin- The big Cheesers :)
And finally the girls.. So glad I got to meet you and talk with you!
Thank you Schalois family! Glad I got to spend my Saturday morning with all of you!

Jen & Chris... A Love Session
What a beautiful Saturday it was after a week of rain. It's days like that that make me want to spend my entire day behind a camera! How lucky was I to have Jen & Chris's Engagement to shoot...
I swear in a running for cutest couple, they are a sure bet!
The entire session, Chris just couldn't keep his eyes off of Jen. It was so sweet.
Can't wait for your wedding in August! You guys are wonderful!

Summer QuickTakes announced...
For those of you who are calling and asking when the next QuickTake will be, I have it set on the calendar now. Drumroll please......
JULY 7th - JULY 17th
(no appointments on Sundays or Mondays of each week, due to our hours!)
I am only offering them for a week this time, because of how many Seniors I have (YAYYYY!!!!) in the Summer months. Get your call in NOW to schedule for this because I had to turn people away for Easter QuickTakes. They will be filling up fast! :) They will run as they did before, three 15 minute increments per hour, $20 per 15 minutes. Double Quicktakes are available this time as well: 30 minutes for $40.
The difference (other than time obviously) between QuickTakes and regular sessions is the amount of images to choose from. QuickTakes are limited to about 20-50 images to choose from, depending on how many people I am shooting. A regular session can yield up to 100-150 images on average. We will most definitely still be taking regular sessions at this time.
Give me a call (419.203.0889) or email: jtphotography@live.com to schedule an appointment!
P.S. Be on the lookout for our new marketing cards in area businesses soon!

Emily: A Senior Rep at Junior Prom :) and some of Libbie...
This last weekend was Crestview's prom, and my girlie (practically sister) Emily had the most amazing dress! Since her older sister Cait was in high school I have done these girls hair and makeup for Proms and Homecomings, and I was so glad to be a part of this again this year. Emily's dress is a Jessica McClintock knock-out, and boy did she look like a knock-out in it!
And if you told her different, she'd be sure to knock you out! (That's why I love this girl so much!)
I think Rob is going to have some trouble on his hands. There are 2 girls who love him, and they both have an attitude. CATFIGHT!
Right before they were ready to leave, Mr. Jones had to give them the once over, and assure her date that he knew how to castrate bulls. No lie. I was there.
Libbie has been photogenic lately, so she had to have some pics done of her since I was snapping around.
This is Libbie and her "Favorite Boy", Rocket. This horse is only nice to a select few, and he is awfully smitten with Libbie. I love to just watch their relationship.
Emiline, I can't wait for your Senior pics! *Who you gonna call?* Ha!!

I love this song. I love the opening lines...
My life is simple and
I'm not a superman
I never said that I was more than that
I'm not a wanna be
I'm who I want to be
And I intend to be
How you created me
I think sometimes we make people out to be this incredible superhuman. I know I am not this. I have downfalls, there are days I completely miss the mark. I am sensitive and take things to heart when I shouldn't. This is my BIGGEST FLAW in my opinion, and my friends and family are audience to this. This is why my faith and joy in God comforts me. God made all of us special. With our quirks, our flaws, our talents, He still loves us, and forgives us and treats us as His own children. A Perfect Love.
Yesterday was a particularly rough day for me, and not for anything in particular, just a whole load of STUFF fell on my shoulders and I was so bogged down. It didn't even end when I left work because I had a very awful appointment to go to after work. It was just a big chain reaction of crap, packed neatly on a rocket ship to Sucksville. It's hard to think positively when your whole day has gone down the crapper.
But as I laid in bed last night, registering all the stuff and trying to sort out my brain, it just hit me: "Why are YOU trying to deal with all this? You are simple, you are no superman." And I realized I had forgotten that THIS LIFE is not mine. THIS LIFE is on loan to me from God. And he has offered me an out from this pain, and here I am trying to sort it all out.
My knees hit the floor and I prayed. I prayed to replace the pain with joy. I prayed to take the anger and replace it with glory for God. And I felt it all wash away.
Today is a new day. And I feel great today. I feel like I can tackle this day like a linebacker :)
Don't forget all the free love and sacrifice that God has given and taken for us. God wants us to live the life HE GAVE US, to have glory for HIM!
