A client of mine recommended me to John and his mom, and a surprise phone call in April for senior pictures for THIS school year had me a little worried. But a late "smile emergency" meant that John and his mom wanted to wait until the braces could come off before scheduling this session. This was going to be a scramble to make this happen, but I'm so glad we found a way to make this work!

John requested a trip to Cleveland for his senior session- He's interested in music production, and has quite a talent for it. He writes his own music, and even performs occasionally, so there was no better place than the "Birthplace of Rock and Roll" for his senior session.

I did some fortuitous location scouting before our session (thank you google maps!), and armed with a personable senior, a willing driver, great weather, and a city in love with music, we filled our afternoon with an amazing session.

As we drove to numerous locations around Cleveland, I remember what living in a city feels like. The life, the people, the hustle. Sometimes I miss the city- the constant activity, the energy, the "heartbeat." Not that there's anything wrong with my quaint little suburbia. But you simply forget what an oyster you live in until you visit a bigger place. We are so lucky have this gem a short drive away....and Cleveland has everything a creative mind could hope for- big city, shoreline, a lotta shine and even a little grunge.

I enjoyed working with John today. He's a bright young man, with a plentitude of talent and passion. His future is wonderfully promising, and I'm sure we'll see his work on albums, videos, and other forms of media. Good Luck at Kent State...and (not to quote a famous rock band or anything {wink}) "Don't stop....believing....Hold on to that feeling!"

Keep Smiling!

I've started a photo project this April since my project 365 always proves to be harder than I think it should be.

This project is a lot more integrated learning of photography fundamentals, and includes a "lesson" and "homework" each week. It's slower paced than a 365 project, and has alot more room for creative license. But my favorite part so far has been the simple and practical explanations and demonstrations. These are ways I hope to be able to share with you and help you along your photographic journey.

If you are interested in following along, the website A Year with my Camera is a great place to start. The website will help you to setup an account. There are books, videos, and a planner, but none of that is required to do the project. The project starts 4 times a year (I think) so you are able to choose when you want to start. (I'm doing the #April2019 group). There is a facebook group for each session that you can join also, which invites discussion and support.

No matter what project, pastime or profession I choose, I find that immersion and lifetime learning are keys to success. Curiosity provides the questions, and a network of others will help you find the answers. This project provides both.

If you've had your camera in auto mode since day one, and can't figure out why your pictures turn out the way they do, or how to make adjustments to your camera to take the picture YOU want, this course is a great place to start!

Join me and sign up today!

Sincerely,

Jennifer
