S.J. Photography

A few weeks ago, I posted an anonymous baby "bump" on my  Facebook Page . Apparently some family and friends knew right away who the belly belonged to because of the hands (who knew someone could be recognized by their hands, right?).  Luckily, they played along with keeping things Top Secret and did not reveal the lovely, pregnant lady's name.  I am extremely thrilled to reveal this family's photo session today because it means one major thing... their baby is on the way!  Yes, they are headed to the hospital and will be meeting their newest addition in *hopefully* a few, short hours! Without further ado.... the Penniston family!  You read that correctly... this photographer is about to welcome another bundle of joy! And to be completely honest, the belly did not get much bigger than this (what a relief)! I have been measuring small, but still healthy.  After our first being 8 lbs, 10oz, I am certainly loo...

Nothing like coming back from a busy Christmas season with family to discover that almost all of my photos are not working!  I apologize for those attempting to browse through the blog. I will be fixing this as soon as possible. Please be patient as my tech skills are limited.

This absolutely adorable, little man turned one today! Happy Birthday Brayden Colt!! He was extremely unsure about his cake and what he was expected to do with it, as you will see by his photos. Loved doing this simple but fun shoot at the lake! Enjoy. -SJ I got this face whenever he tested the icing, and I thought it was too funny not to share.

I would like to do a little disclaimer about my newborn photography before I give everyone some cute pictures to ooh and awe over. I have been asked a few times in the past about it and would like to clear up a small point. In all my photos, I try to capture the people and the moment. Yes, photoshop and props and poses are great, but I prefer natural beauty.   I am very excited to be able to share these lovely photos of my niece with everyone. She is quite the precious, little gal. Kimber is not a great sleeper, however, and did not appreciate me trying to wrap her in little blankets or put headbands and such on her.  In the end, her best photos occurred at the lake when she was almost 2 weeks old.  Apparently she enjoys to sleep in the sun and sprawl ! I do not mind because she is adorable regardless!   Without further ado, I bring you Kimber Elise.   ********** *Please do not copy or share the photos as they are the property of S....

One thing I love doing, is shooting my family. (No pun intended) My sister Kirstie really wanted a few photos in her new dress and since I happened to be in town, I obliged! The rain on the other hand, was not so nice.  Please enjoy this mini session while I work on FOUR other photo shoots I did this past week.
