I finished this late last night.  I hope it makes you smile as much as it makes me smile. : )

(technical note: 98% of this video was recorded using a $300 point and shoot digital camera, and not a video camera… not bad eh?)

Fall Photography Workshop

Published by John under Workshops

If you want to perfect your photographic skills, here is the perfect workshop for you! Check it out at www.j-jstudios.com

Here is a quote from someone who was at the last workshop we offered in the Spring:

“I just wanted to take a moment to give an honest review of the workshop that John, Jen, and Holly just offered. I am very critical of “workshops” and learning environments in general. Having said that I literally can’t say enough good things about the workshop. My expectations were relatively high and I can say without hesitation that they were all exceeded. Sure they deliver great information about every aspect of shooting and running a photography business. More importantly they inspired, encouraged, empowered, and provided a friendship that I intend to make last. I have been to countless workshops and seminars but I have never left one feeling so invested in. John, Jen and Holly are not only instructors they are advocates and a helping hand in a often lonely and overwhelming industry. Can’t say enough!!”

Alexa’s 1st Birthday Party

Published by John under Family

A special thanks to everyone who helped make Alexa’s 1st year so special.  We are so thankful to have so many friends and a wonderful family to share life with. 

There were too many pictures to post from her party yesterday, so I threw some favorites into a slideshow.

Alexa is 1 !!!!

Published by John under Family

I can’t believe my little newborn is 1 today.  Wow.  You hear other people say “it goes so fast” and you just kinda nod…  it doesn’t really sink in until its your own child.

To commemorate her first year, I’ve been working on a short little highlight video… but its taking longer than I had thought to make.  I hope to post it soon, but for now here is a picture progress story of Alexa’s first year. Each picture was taken by my wife on her month birthdays. (except this first shot which I took minutes after she was born) : )

1 year - Today!

For me, months 5 and 6 were my favorite.  Even though each day has new adventures and smiles, there was something majical for me when she was 5 & 6 months old.  It was the end of the difficult newborn sleep schedule, the beginning of smiles and interaction and before the teething kicked in.  And maybe I’m just a sucker for that gummy smile. : )  She’s my little princess and I can’t believe God gave her to Amy and I.  I am truely blessed and love her to pieces.  Happy Birthday Lex!  I Love you.
