Mother's Day, 2012: 
"Everybody say, 'CHEESE'!"
"Ok. Good.  Now everybody say, 'JEN'S PREGNANT AGAIN'!"
... as I snap away.... 
This was the way I decided to break our *big news* to our family in May that baby #2 is on it's way! 
But before you all freak out about Holiday photos this year, let's consider a few things: 
1. Booking Holiday Photos in the fall gives us the opportunity to shoot outside which is my absolute FAVORITE!! 
2. We can get beautiful fall colors. 
3. We can bring some christmas props onto the beach (how's THAT for "different"?) 
4. NO STRESS!!! Get your holiday cards done EARLY and have them out ON TIME! 
5. More time for your Holiday Shopping, less time worrying about photos in an-already-crazy-season. 
Are you convinced yet that this can be a GOOD THING?!? Get your holiday session booked before November 1st. Email me for an appointment: photosbyjlorem@gmail.com
 
 
A little guy of my very own!
Meet Lucas Trey.  Born September 16th, 7lbs.6oz., 20cm.  He is perfect and I'm so in love. This is a photo of Luke at 4 days old.  He loves holding his head up.

Needless to say, I can't stop taking photos.  People on facebook must hate me.  I know.  With the thousands of photos I've taken (and no- that is not any kind of exaggeration) I have not even begun the editing process. I think I've come to accept the fact that I never will.  Well, maybe one day- when I find the extra time (haha that's a joke!  I may be 80 years old by then).

As of November 15th, I'm finally returning back to work.  And boy, am I booked!!!! I'm so thankful and excited to reunite with my clients from last year!  I see many sleepless nights in my future but I CANNOT WAIT to return.  In fact, I've spent a small fortune on new props, backdrops, and equipment.  Stay tuned for more holiday 2011 cuties!!!

 
 
BOY!  In case any of you out there are curious about my pregnancy, I am having a boy!!! We are soo thrilled and can't wait to meet him.  My pregnancy so far has been wonderful and I'm enjoying (for the most part) carrying this baby.  Our baby boy is healthy and busy kicking around already.  I'm so excited to start working on the nursery and getting everything ready for when he arrives in September. 
I will be booking jobs from now through June.  Then I'm taking a break for a while... probably until late fall.  But please feel free to message me and check in with me regarding my work status. If I'm feeling up to it, I may book a few jobs here and there.  I don't know much about what to expect, so we'll have to just play it by ear... My weekends are already almost all booked up, but I do have some availability.  If you are interested in booking a session before the summer, now would be the time to do it! 
I'll continue to keep you all posted and thank you soo much for all of the encouragement and words of advice that has been passed along from all of my clients!!! I am inspired by so many of you!!!
