If you are visiting me on this fine weekend Saturday… WHAZZUP!? This was us after dinner last night…. plopped down on the sofa, all cozy and comfy, waiting for the Vancouver Olympics to start…above, from left to right, Nintendo DS, iPod Touch, iPhone and iPhone…. I’m stoked to have new visitors to my blog, thanks...
That pretty much looks like my house too!!! So funny!
love the olympics!!! apolo ohno is all i have to say!!! 
haha love all of the gadgets! IPhone’s are the greatest invention
Ah, I can tell it’s 2010!
Oh my….this is a funny pic of you all with your electronics.
Well, it is another day. Scott and I celebrated Valentine last night and tonight I invited my ex-roommate for a yummy sushi dinner that I made. Hope you have a great celebration tomorrow. It is not often we get both Chinese New Year with Valentine’s Day falling on the same day. Happy New Year and Happy Valentine’s to you and your family.
Quality time in 2010…using electronics all in the same room! Love the photo.
That’s so funny that’s just like my family.
That is hilarious!!!! I love that you caught them all.
lol! love it!! i’m in a family full of color calibrated monitors. 
Ha ha! That is the routine here at our home more often than not. Lol sometimes I just have to make them put them away! Sometimes I think Tarynn is more versed in technology than us adults. Lol
Jennifer do you have three kids plus a husband? Oh my God! You must be a busy woman!!! I have a 9 year-old son who’s stuck to the Nintendo DS all day long, so we have that in common too! Have a great weekend!

WOW!!! That is super funny! It looks like you found that 1.2:). Love it!
Super Cute!!!! My family is not quite there yet, but give us a few years.
This is too cute & funny at the same time. Funny because it reminds me of my family. We caught ourselves one night at my parents’ house, all cozy on the couch, with our apple laptops open and ipods in hand! Lol.
What a beautiful family…and all so hard at work! How’s that new lens treating you? Did you guys make it through the entire opening ceremonies?
How funny! Your family is totally “connected”. Sweet! Love to see photographers who are balancing this biz and a whole family. My respect for you just shot way up. I know how much more difficult this amazing job is for you now. I have little ones too!
Thank you so much to you out in internet land who’ve been coming back to post to win the ShowIt Giveaway. I’ve read all the comments and they have been really really super duper. Hang in there with me, Tuesday is just around the corner…. Yesterday, we had a tiny break in the weather…just enough to go...

Hi I am a friend of Dianne Jago and she told me about the contest you are having to win the free year subscription of SHOWIT and I would like to enter it. I am currently in photography school in PA and I’m starting my own business as a wedding/portrait photographer. I don’t have a website yet, only a fb page but I need to start a website soon.
I LOVE your work, your very talented and have great ideas! What kind of camera do you mainly shoot with?
Hello clouds! Wowsers! Great shot
Wow! The sky is amazing in that frame. Great shot!
I have already designed my showit website, but I haven’t bought a subscription…. I want one though!!
I hope I win… but i know the chances are slim.
Great blog btw! great images
Neat! Looks similiar to our skies here right now!
Love the vignette!
that is a gorgeous pic girl!!! love that sky!!!!!! amazing!!!!!
Great idea and very generous Jennifer! I saw your post on the showit facebook site and I think this is a very cool thing too do. Best wishes to you and thanks for opening yourself up for this. I’m putting your blog in my reader!! I always love a good photographer’s blog!
Thank you for giving back to the community. Your show it site rocks.
What an absolutely wonderful photo! So gorgeous….love the sky! The weather here in NC is very cold. Off and on freezing temps with ice and snow flurries about every other day right now. Have a great evening!
I am a huge Smugmug Pro user and just now discovered Shotitfast and would love to use it.
As a brand new photographer, It would be nice to have my first year taken care of (so to speak) so I can focus more on learning and purchasing camera gear.
Thanks,
Randy

Hi Jennifer, thank you so much for sharing your gift of a showit site. I’m due for a new website this winter. The weather here in Denver is seasonally warm and sunny today.
Cheers, Kent
Weather in my part of the world? Snowy with a side of power outages! lol. Which is why I’m doubly excited to meet you out in CA in just a few SHORT days! Oh, and Vampire Diaries?…now you’re speaking my love language!
Already miss Sacramento. Went to Phoenix to visit my dad and all me and my mom are doing is eating valentines candy. Hopefully my pants will fit for the ride home Just love the sky in this picture, so beautiful just after it rains.
I LOVE Cali too!!! Tuesday night we had an earthquake and over a foot of snow on the ground…that’s just how we roll here in Chicago:)
high 60s in central california today! yay! no rain!
good job exposing for the clouds/sky. love.
That’s a great photo! We had a day like that in the Bay Area on Sunday, where the rain clouds dissapeared for a little while and we got to play outside. Adam was thrilled –> http://babydesouky.blogspot.com/2010/02/spring-sunday.html
Yay for Vampire Diaries!!! Beautiful picture too!
Amazing photo!!! A little sun is definitely needed at this point. I feel you girl!
And, Jennifer, that picture is beyond AMAZING! Great shot!
Well, they are saying rain for later today. But, I am thrilled that they are saying 60′s for the weekend!
killer picture Jennifer!!! We live in Tennessee where we definitely have four season, but no extremes. Right now we are in Colorado and it is beautiful and fairly warm considering there is snow on the ground.
Thank you so much for offering the showit site giveaway! That is huge and I would absolutely wonderful. Thanks again so much!
The weather has been really nice the past few days I have really enjoyed it.
When I started my photography business I held photosessions with a lot of families. Family’s with kids of different ages. It was a challenge for me at first because you have to concentrate on more than two people and that’s not always easy. Usually the mother will say, “Don’t...

love these family shots!
Love the slide show with the thumbnail pictures. Your pictures are wonderful.
Hi Jennifer,
Here I am submitting my comment. Actually, just wanted to say hi and I love reading your blog. Please give the kids a big hug from Scott and I.
Karen
It’s funny … I am so this way when it’s my kids being photographed. I hear the words and the tone coming out of my mouth and actually wish I could stop! Especially when the best photos I take of them are when I keep my mouth shut and just let them be!
Dropping in to say hello, me me pick me!!!
great photos!!
I think you just spent a moment in my life. I worry about way too much. I need to let you just work your photographic magic and I will take a little walk while you do it.
What a gorgeous family. Sweet photo of them. Families are a bit challenging and it is very interesting to hear how you have coped..thanks for sharing
I agree =) the candid, silly pictures are always the best anyways (like the picture you took of me jumping in the air). People aren’t always totally in sync and happy all at the same time so its nice to capture all the moments.
I felt the same way. And sometimes you just have to hold the shutter down to ensure you will capture the right photo (Everyone smiling, looking at the camera at the same time, etc.), especially since that is what many parents want. But candid is great as well since you capture the emotion within the photo.
what beautiful families and stunning images!!! you have such a gift for capturing the love these families share! great work!
Thanks for this helpful post. I find family portraits to be challenging at times and sometimes I just want to take a zen moment myself. LOL!
love the old car shot!
I love the way you make the families look natural and candid.
That’s so true! We had a family portrait session done this fall and my usually happy smiley boy was so straight faced. I think we all put too much pressure on getting the perfect shot – I think we would have been much happier with a less formal/fun family photo shoot in a more natural environment.
You couldn’t have said it any better! It has nothing to do with the perfect outfit, perfect makeup or perfect KIDS!!! It is about the bond and love that you all share and capturing that today for all to remember tomorrow! Nicely done girlie!
Very nicely put Jen! You do so well capturing those special memories! Beautiful!
Carl and Lorelle have been friends of ours since my family has lived in Roseville. Carl and my husband were actually co-workers. As things happen, jobs take us to different places in our...

Beautiful shots and very sweet moments between them all
Love how intimate the images feel. Very personal, and real. Gorgeous.
Love your new blog Jennifer! It is so clean and fresh! Love the post too. Nothing like a cute preggy belly
So beautiful Jenn.
Decompressing with bite size cupcakes at Whole Foods. I just needed one of those Calgon moments. So these helped BIG TIME!! These were just calling out to me. I love when things just call out to me. Master Shifu… “But you cannot leave! A real warrior never quits!” I AM A WARRIOR! Veggie Bowl at...
