If you like honest, real moments, I'm your girl

all right folks…here it is…i am announcing a huge spring special AND a contest…all wrapped into a nice, little package. this is a ONE time deal…you know i don’t have specials like this everyday (or ever)! If you book a 30 minute session with Jean Smith Photography on the dates listed below, then you will […]

meet k. she is like every other little six year old girl…except that she just had brain and skull surgery a month ago. her mother realized in the hospital that she didn’t have any pictures with her little girl…so that’s where i came in. i feel completely honored and privileged to have spent time with […]

yes, the title of my post is ugh. this weather is ugh. just when i thought it was spring. it tricked us last weekend with this amazing almost-summer-like-weather, and now i look out my window to see SNOW. i was bummed when a few sessions had to be rescheduled due to the atrocity outside, but […]
