Scottsdale Civic Center - Starring Cristina

Hello! This is Jenesse authoring this time. I know I have to be specific as there are two photographers sharing this blog!

I'm fairly new to the world of photography. Although, hopefully my former photo editor on the yearbook staff would say I did a pretty good job for our high school annual. But high school days have come and gone - I haven't worked on a high school yearbook in over 3 years! I have found interests in people photography however - and here are some of the results from a fairly spontaneous photo shoot with a very willing friend!

I still work with film, but I always have them create jpeg images from my film negatives - specifically so that I can work with my images in Photoshop!

Can you tell I love my soft-focus filter? And this is our favorite shot of the day...

A shout-out to my beautiful model! THANKS!

My Jeffrey

Jeff received his mission call - he's going to Spain! Barcelona mission. We will miss him but we are oh-so excited for him too.

My handsome missionary

Have camera will travel

I had the opportunity to travel to New York with my son before he leaves for his mission in a few months.

I usually don't enjoy winter much - but these particular shots were my favorite.


Enlarged, you can see the individual snow crystals behind the leaf - fantastic detail!

The Peter Witmer farm house -love the lighting.

An inside shot. This is such a small house for a family.

On the banks of the Susquehanna river...

Happy New Year!!!

Mom stayed home while Dad, Jeff, Jordan, John and I went skiing at Snowbird... brr!

The 'guys' in my family. I was a little out-numbered.

Oops. That's okay - I needed to cool off anyways!

My sister's wedding

I got to fly out to San Diego for my little sister's wedding, she has waited patiently for him to return from a tour in Iraq as well as a mission to Wisconsin! Their wedding was beautiful and glad I was to not be the main wedding photographer - it allowed me to enjoy being there, but I have to admit I did play with my camera a little bit too! Sometimes it's just hard to not join in the fun. :)

The wedding was beautiful, the San Diego temple grounds were beautiful too.

7 sisters!

Jill - chillin' at the beach

Jillian is 10 in this shot...I can't decide it I like it in color or B & W best.

Yellowstone Trip 2006

I took so many pictures on our vacation to Yellowstone. The views are breathtaking. Here are a few of my favorite scenery shots.

The Bison were amazing to watch!
And this buffalo ate grass for awhile just 20 feet from our car. I was taking pictures out the window and he walked right up to our car...in fact I got a little nervous and quickly rolled up the window. He bumped the rear view mirrow as he sauntered passed and crossed the road holding up traffic.
