Catching Up #2: Wedding

As I've said before, I love being the second photographer for a friend of mine at weddings.  These were from a wedding we did back in August.

Catching Up #1: Beach Photos

This was a while ago but I had so much fun photographing my friends' family at the beach!  

Family Photos

A while ago I got to photograph some friends' kids from church.  Here are a few of my favorites.  I think they look great all together and I love the smiles I got of the individual photos.

Smugmug

I now have a smugmug page where I can upload and sell my photos!  Not too much on there now but hopefully more coming soon.   jaynehoogs.smugmug.com

Second Photographer

Occasionally I get to be the second wedding photographer for Michelle Hamstra who is an amazing photographer.  I always enjoy photographing with her and I thought I'd share some photos from the last wedding I helped her with.  While the weather did not fully cooperate with us that day, the bride and groom were wonderful and the wedding was a pleasure to photograph.

After the ceremony, the bridesmaids ditched their heels in favor of bare feet...

Tulips - a begining and an end

I aways wanted to get a photo of flowers pushing up through the snow.  So maybe that's cheesy but with the crazy snow this year, it was somewhat possible.  Here was my favorite.

And of course once they bloomed I had to cut one and take it inside.  After a few days it completely opened and I got this photo.

My cat Oreo

I take a lot of photos of my cat because she's so adorable so I thought I'd share one of my favorites.

Paul & Donna's Wedding

Last fall I had the honor to photograph the wedding of Paul & Donna.  It was such a great day and I enjoyed taking photos.  Below are just a few highlights.

Puzzle

In a "recycled" gift exchange last Christmas, I got these awesome old wooden puzzles and I thought I'd share some (hopefully creative) photos I shot as I took the puzzle apart.

Adorable Photo Shoot

In January I had so much fun photographing this sweet little girl.  She had so many fun expressions I had to share a bunch of them!

Christmas Revisited

Back in December I had the privilege of photographing this adorable little guy.  I thought I'd start my blog with these photos because he is way too cute with the Christmas lights!
