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

First, my mini sessions for May are full…THANK YOU!  However, my contest to win one of three free styled/themed mini shoots is going until Thursday!  You can view the details in my last blog post.  Go on, there is still plenty of time to enter!  Oh, and just a hint for those of you have […]

I announced my mini sessions on Wednesday…thanks for those who have signed up!  There are a few last spots left, so let me know if you are interested! In honor of my mini sessions, and the almost-spring that is upon us, or perhaps because I just love a good contest, I have decided to offer […]

Finally…mini sessions! It has been THREE YEARS since I have offered mini sessions! There are only ten spots available, so contact me at jean@jeansmithphotography.com asap if you would like one of the spots! Just a bit of fine print. The mini sessions are for CHILDREN only. The sessions are for 1-3 children, ages 6 months […]

Wake up call.  Again.

I’ve included a very hidden and subtle hint on my mood in the image below. See if you can find it… Not very hidden you say? Yes, I am afraid I am a bit transparent when it comes to my bitter dislike towards winter. I am heading out to Las Vegas for a few days […]

THANK YOU for the amazing response for the launch of our workshop!!! We appreciate the support from everyone and are so excited for the attendees who have already signed up. We are down to our last three seats, so if you are interested in the workshop, please visit our workshop website asap! Moving right along. […]

There is a lot I could say right now about this announcement. Like how excited we are to hold a workshop. Like how through all of the said excitement from above, I all of the sudden got nervous knots in my stomach as I was ready to post this. Like how it almost didn’t happen […]

Tracy wasn’t kidding when she emailed before the wedding and said “We consider you and Travis part of our extended family at the wedding.”  After the first day, I think WE weren’t even sure if we were the photographers or the family at Bernardo and Tracy’s wedding in St. Thomas.  We quickly found ourselves hanging […]
