Jenifer Lyn Photography » Wife, Mother, and Wedding Photographer Extraordinaire

I’ve decided to include a new feature on my blog where I create posts that I think will be very helpful to all my brides, both present and future. Every venue that I have worked at provides certain features and unique circumstances that prove both beneficial and challenging to my task of shooting the wedding. Because of that, I will be writing reviews of venues with interesting tidbits I found while working at each one.

Depending how the rest of this off-season goes, I would like to extend this to other vendor reviews. I’ve had the privilege of working with some of the greatest vendors in the industry and I’m always being asked for referrals from brides.

Happy Holidays!

Thanks to the wonderful couples I worked with last year, I am so excited to share with you that OneWed has named Jenifer Lyn Photography one of their Best Wedding Vendors of 2008!!!! Click here to view the story behind the list and to download the full PDF list to view.

It is such an honor for me! Thank you to all the couples I worked with in 2008 – you are all very special to me.

2007 has been a whirlwind of a year to say the least! I’m sitting here reflecting on everything and I realize how grateful I am for all that I have. I have a great husband and two wonderful kids who fill my life with so much, I just can’t imagine who I would be without them. We live in a great house in a nice town and both my husband and I are taking the time to persue our dreams. It is all so very exciting!!!

So as 2008 starts off I want to say thank you to everyone who reads this. You have all helped me in some way, great or small, to continue down this long, winding, exciting path and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Family means a lot to me and I am so very sad that I can’t spend more time with a lot of my extended family members. I miss you all lots (“Unc” especially). I hope to find more time next year to visit with those of you I don’t see often enough.

As for my resolutions, I am going to try once more to lose a few excess pounds (which seemed to multiply between Thanksgiving and now!). To do so, I’d like to cook more fresh meals and eat better foods (maybe try a few new ones, too!) If anyone has any great recipes they’d like to share, please add them to the comments. I can use all the help I can get!!

I am also going to try to get us as a family of four more organized. I read somewhere that you only use 20% of your “stuff” 80% of the time. Thinking through that – we have ALOT of excess baggage around here, from clothes to junk. Time to clean sweep the house and organize what’s left a bit more.

For Jenifer Lyn Photography, I am planning out my year, which will involve changing my prices and Collections to better suit my service model. I’m very excited about this coming year and all the great couples who I have the pleasure of spending the day with. I also want to attend some more training. I feel that I can never (and will never) stop learning and I’m looking forward to planning which seminars to build into my time and money next year.

I think that sums the big ones up. I wish all of you a very Happy New Year and I truly hope 2008 is a great and prosperous one for you.

With Love,
Jen

In honor of a great month – August – and the launch of my new website, I’m offering out a great special to all brides who sign a contract with me in the month of August: 20% off all my products and services.

Why is August so great, you ask? Well, it is summer here in New England and August is typically the hottest and sunniest of the summer months – it really doesn’t get much better than that.

Not to mention, a certain person’s birthday is only a couple days away, although I may swear off having any more after this year. Lastly, but MOST certainly not least, my wedding anniversary is also in August. So you see, it is a joyful month all around!

So in the interest of sharing such great joy, I believe it is only fitting to offer this special. But hurry, you must sign a contract with me before the end of August this year to take advantage of this special. I still have a couple of 2007 dates left, if any bride is still without a photographer for 2007; and I am not quite full for 2008, either.

If you know someone getting married who might be interested, please pass this along.
Thanks, and joyful August to all!!

(I have an exciting e-session planned for Monday, so I will share some images of that next week!)
