{Friends}

I'm sad to say that one of Jonah's friends (and his little brother) is moving this week. They have been going to the same sitter since they were both a few months old. When I heard L's family was moving I decided I wanted to get some pictures of the 3 boys playing together--boy was that hard. They were having so much fun none of them would stay in place very long! I think I got a few good ones, though, despite the chaos. LOL. I love this one despite the lack of big smiles. It was bittersweet to see these 3 playing together. I'm sure I'll add a few more when I finish proofing.

C, L, & J -- The 3

I know Jonah is too young to completely grasp that his playmate isn't going to be there anymore. We had a talk about it yesterday but this morning he still expected to be playing with his buddy again--just like everyday for the past 2+ years. He was saying, "I'm going to take my motorcycle to show L and C" as we left the house. We are definately going to miss our friends.

{Sharing}

When I started this blog I wasn't sure what I wanted to talk about. Is it strictly business? Is it OK to post personal stories. Ultimately I decided that even though I want to use it as a way to keep people updated on the latest J. Tennill Photography news it would be really boring if that's all I ever talked about. So from now on I'll be letting you get to know ME better and sharing all the cool things that I love.

So here is something I think rocks----it's called Pandora. I guess you could call it an internet radio website but it is really so much more than that. The reason it rocks is that it takes each element of your favorite song and creates a playlist from that song based on the research of the Music Genome Project. Which means, you'll be listening to all your favorites in no time, plus, they will throw in music you may not have heard before. So go check it out! You are going to love it!

And well, since this a photography blog, here's a photo...hehe

{Harley}

Meet Harley...We got him last weekend from the Scott County Humane Society. They were awesome to work with. He is such a sweetheart and Jonah loves him so much. He loves to pet and snuggle with him and when we pet him he says "be easy, mom...be easy." Too cute.

{Celebrate Birth}

Here is a birth announcement I designed for the little sweetheart below. I love doing these. :)

{Newborn}

I had the honor of photographing the nephew of one of my dearest friends. We go waaaay back. Meet Trenton---isn't he the cutest thing!

{Vintage}

I've always loved black and white for photographs but lately I've been inspired by a worn, vintage, '70's look. I love the way it looks on seniors and engagements.

{Portfolio Building}

I am still in need of images for my brand new website--which means I need models. And that means you can get a great deal on photos. Special pricing means you can get prints at 50% off regular prices and I'll waive the session fee with a signed model release (hey--I need the images for the website). If you, or anyone you know, is interested in taking advantage of portfolio building prices please shoot me an email at julie@jtennillphoto.com . I need all ages--newborn to HS seniors.
And here a little cutie just for fun...
