holiday card collection ‘09 | pennsylvania family photographer

Jen — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 15:58:11 +0000

Oooh! I’m so excited to introduce this year’s holiday card collection from the incomparable designer/photographer Jamie Schultz. Sure to make an impression (this isn’t a Target photo card–trust me!), your holiday card is beautifully press-printed on elegant pearl paper and UV coated for protection and durability through the mail. Sized at a generous 5×7 (with the exception of two that are 5×5), cards are available in a flat or folded style and have coordinating backs and interiors. Greetings may be changed, added and customized if you so choose.

And from now until November 1st, cards are 10% off for all clients who completed a non-fall/holiday mini session with me. (For a handful of clients who are just receiving or will shortly be receiving your proofs, you can reserve your cards now with the discount if you so choose.) Please call 610.223.9700 for details.

Thank you SO SO SO much to all of my clients and new faces that stopped by the studio on Sunday. Each of your kids enters my heart when I’ve worked with them, and it’s always so exciting to see how much they’ve grown and changed, even if it’s been 2 years since I saw them last, or 2 months. It was exciting meeting some new kids and their parents (who I hope to photograph soon), as well, and particularly hearing about new brothers and sisters who are on their way!

The fall & holiday mini sessions will be beginning this weekend, and are completely booked for October, and possibly fully-b0oked for November. I can probably squeeze in one more client for the second week in November, and if the weather stays nice, I may extend the sessions one more week to the 22nd. If you’re interested, please let me know ASAP as I will definitely be closing my November calendar soon (though if you’re pregnant or just had a baby, I’ll always do my best to fit in a belly or a brand new baby! :)

If you’re thinking about a session for early ‘10, I’m going to be debuting a new documentary style session, and will be looking for a few special families to share a half day with you and your kids. Please keep your eyes on the blog for a special offer coming up soon after the fall sessions.

If you are waiting for your proofs, I promise to be in touch soon–things, as usual, have been busy and I am running a few weeks behind with proofing, which was just complicated by my computer deciding that it didn’t want to work quickly any longer. A new computer has arrived (if I could only find wake up and find all that I need installed on it!) and I am hoping to be zipping through sessions much quicker in the next two weeks. I am very much appreciative of your patience and understanding–thank you for sitting tight. :)

And finally, because I can’t post without pictures, I worked with two seniors (one’s a senior at Daniel Boone high school here in Berks County, the other at Cedar Crest High School in Lebanon County). I was a bad blogger trying to keep my mini session and open house info at the top of the blog for a few weeks, so I was waiting to post their sessions until the open house was over. Congrats on your senior years, Sammy & Steven, and best wishes!

patrick, or baby on a hook | reading and berks county newborn photographer

Jen — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 23:44:35 +0000

Thank you to everyone who inquired about the newborn session–I am always humbled when I am asked to take a baby’s first professional pictures. But really, I am even more humbled that Patrick’s mom agreed to meet with me after I told her what I had in mind with my new prop. “I’d like to hang your baby from a hook,” is what my email essentially read, and I can only imagine that there may have been a moment’s (or several minutes, or hours, LOL) hesitation on her end.

Just for the record, I promise you that all of my pictures with babies (and children) are taken very safely. After all, Photoshop is precisely for erasing safety bags and hands, as well as cleaning up scratches from kids’ knees and wrinkles from Grandma!

And just two others of Patrick in the new studio. Isn’t he the cutest little baby? Congrats again, Michelle, and many thanks again for bringing Patrick in today.

casting call: free session for newborn baby | pennsylvania newborn photographer

Jen — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 23:28:22 +0000

Jenny bought a new prop! (I’m so excited, I’m referring to myself in the third person!) I’m looking for a fresh newborn to try it out on since my next newborn session isn’t for a few more weeks. Parents will receive a complimentary mini session and a complimentary 8×10 with a signed model release. The session will take place, preferably, during the week at my GoggleWorks studio. The baby must be under 2 weeks old, and smaller babies will be considered first. Please send me a photo of your baby (or your due date, if you’re expecting) to be considered.

I look forward to hearing from you!

P.S. A shout-out to Tracy Raver and Kelley Ryden, sisters in Omaha, Neb. who specialize in newborn photography. Tracy was featured on the Today Show this week, and her segment has appeared on many news outlets since. Here’s a link to some of their gorgeous newborn images shown on the Today Show: Today Show slideshow

There’s nothing more exciting than watching my clients’ families grow, and some of the babies I’ve photographed previously turn into big sisters and brothers. Evelyn was less than a year old the last time I saw her, and now she’s a proud big sister to Julia, one of the most content newborns I’ve ever photographed.

How blessed they are with two gorgeous girls! Congrats!

I’ve been really lucky this year to photograph so many twins (and a set of triplets, too!)–I think these sweet little guys may have been my sixth set this year, but my first set of identicals. I’m not sure Joe and me are parents who are cut out to be parents of multiples (especially if we had two Isaacs–oy!), but I sure do love working with twins and imagining how awesome it would be to grow up with a buddy who shares your same great looks and the same age. What a cool thing that would be.

How in the world did I become the mother of a third and first grader? At least I still have one at home, though he’ll be starting pre-preschool (well, that’s my name for it ;) next week. It’s pretty sad to see him wandering around this morning wondering where his brother and sister went.

announcing fall & holiday mini sessions | pennsylvania photographer

Jen — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 21:05:50 +0000

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…. to be photographed outside!

Back by popular demand, (seriously–I’ve already got quite a few people booked! :) I’m happy to announce my fall and holiday mini session collections for ‘09. I’m not quite done rounding up my new line of holiday cards from my designers yet, but those will be forthcoming shortly, and, as always, sure to impress everyone on your list! (You know you get classy press-printed-on-heavy-cardstock, professionally-designed cards from me. These are definitely not something you can pick up at your local Target!)

This year, I wanted to get a head start on the fall color and make sure I was wrapped up with these sessions well before the weather becomes unpredictable, so, this year’s sessions will begin on October 1st and go through November 15th. But, as always, availability is limited. I encourage you to book early to make sure you’re a part of this very popular event!

Just like in years’ past, your mini session is not rushed or hurried as the next client waits impatiently over your shoulder. Your children and family are given plenty of time for your session: I’ve done the cramped mall studios right before the holidays, and I’ve certainly seen my share of frustrated and frazzled parents trying to get that perfect shot of their little ones in front of the tree. These sessions give you a wonderful opportunity to play with your children and capture real, authentic and beautiful portraits of your kids and family during the colorful and beautiful fall season–portraits that will remain timeless well beyond your tree coming down and all the returns being made.

To book your session, please contact me at 610.223.9700 or email me at jennifer@jenniferbretonphotography.com.

We all know how much I love color, but I couldn’t resist how amazingly beautiful and these two look sisters look in black and white. Aren’t they stunning?
