Is it time to renew your business portrait? February is the perfect month- at the beginning of the year, before most of your materials are finalized and you are planning your yearly marketing plan. Call us to find out more about our February business portrait special!

It's Warmer, Horray!

Ok, ok, I know it is on abou 40 degrees out there, but it feels like SUMMER! Does anyone else have a renewed energy to get out there and do some things? It is like a breath of fresh air- yesterday I literally opened the door and stood in the doorway because the air was so refreshing... gosh, HOW long until spring? :)

Imaging USA!


This past week I had the opportunity to attend a national convention of Professional Photographers of America, and not only attended, but was a featured speaker for one of the most prestigous processing labs in the United States- Millers Professional Imaging.

It was such a wonderful experience to be a representative and featured speaker, above is an image a great friend took during one of my presentations. Also, I have attached a short video clip of a couple of our Millers representatives, where one of my senior storybooks was also shown. AWESOME! VIDEO

Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy New Year!!

As the middle of January approaches, I extend to you my heartfelt thank you for allowing Studio J to be a part of your lives. As I spend time with each of you, creating images for you, I want you to know how special it is for me to be a part of that! Your images will be around for such a long time, and to know I was there to do this for you is so humbling.

This is going to be a BIG year for Studio J !! This year, in addition to our senior and family portrait line, we are also introducing Studio J Kids ! Did you know we photograph kids too?! As a mother of 4 children of my own and 2 stepchildren as well- this photographer has EXPERIENCE! Believe me!!!

In all seriousness, though, as our youngest child, now 3, grows, I miss those babies!! And as much as you moms with young babies live with slobber on your shoulders- wishing for a clean shirt, I welcome it! Your children are only young once, and capturing them is a way that helps you to remember them, as they are, is of the utmost importance. For when it is all said and done, and they are grown and gone, it's the images and memories that last forever.

Soon we will be sharing more information with you as we introduce some new lines into the studio. This is something you don't want to miss- I encourage you to join our mailing list so you don't miss anything!

Again, a big thank you from our studio to you! Here's to 2008!!!

Highlights for 2007!!

Some of my favorites from the year!
