Baby Mac turns 2!

I LOVE this face!

Today is her two year birthday.

Many of my clients have watched her grow up on Facebook over the past two years with all the images I have taken of her

This was her Halloween costume

She totally did this on her own

Her party is today and we are closed here at the studio from 2-5pm

Baby Jack

Fabulous Friday

Another FRIDAY!

So here's what we've been up to this week:

Lots of fun:

getting ready for Christmas:


Baby's first Christmas:

30 has arrived

I think I had the best day at work today! It was kind of funny. I took my son to the dentist in the morning and when I walked into the studio the girls didn't say much. I was a little annoyed because I drove 2hrs for the dentist to tell us, "no progress, go home". So, not in the greatest mood and Christa knows how I feel about 30, she gives me a hug, lol. So we played most of the day, which I will share tomorrow -- soooo FUN! Our new Christmas window display is up! Natasha did an amazing job on it. I'll share that tomorrow too.

My gal pal Gerri made the above image for me. She rocks!

Thanks to everyone for all the birthday wishes! I had over 170 happy birthday wishes on facebook and I have replied to them all! It took me HOURS! Here are just a few:

Happy Birthday Jenna!
I hope your day was amazing! Enjoy the rest of it!! I wish you nothing but a wonderful time in your 30's!! It's time for you to find that love of your life who loves and respects you, and to have someone photograph Jenna in her white dress :) -- LL

Happy birthday!! Hope you have an awesome day.. p.s. 30 is really twenty anyhow, who has more fun than a successful 30 year old? -- RR

Happy B-day Jenna. Your the hottest 30yr old I know ;) -- AP

Happy Birthday Jenna...you are absolutely fabulous no matter what age you are....just remember age is just a number it really means nothing so just enjoy life..you have a great one! -- JS

Happy Birthday Jenna....30 is the new 20...no sweat, your beautiful. If anyone can rock it..YOU CAN!!
Have fun!! :o) -- SP

Happy Birthday to one of the best photographers I know...Enjoy your day!! -- PB

I loved your blog Jenna. Have a wonderful birthday tomorrow. 30's are better than your 20's...at least I think so. Afterall, that's when I met my husband, bought a house, got married and had 2 beautiful babes!!! -- TS

So, if I listen to my friends 30-40 will be great! I can enjoy the work I've done in my 20's.

Till tomorrow -- fabulous Friday post!

today is the last day in my 20's!

This is my last day of living in my 20's. I thought turning 25 was tough and I look back now and think, "no big deal" I wonder if when I turn 40 I'll feel the same way about how I feel now going into my 30's. All my older friends tell me 30 is no big deal. It's the 'dirty 30' age, or 'thirty and thriving' age.

Here's what I think:

I love being a mom

I photograph hundreds of families a year

I think that's awesome

My friend Gerri took the above photo of me

I'm glad I have ab definition going into my 30's

I hope to start P90x again soon

This time I'm not taking weekly photos

I felt unattractive and that's why I stopped

I've been coughing for 5.6 weeks

I think Tony Robbins has some great stuff

I wish I had a full time second shooter

Photographers make good friends

My son comes home muddy a lot...even for it being colder weather

I have a great office manager

I work a lot

I have a wrinkle under my left eye from closing the eye when I shoot

In 20 shooting days we have 63 studio sessions

that's pretty awesome

I'd love to have more time with my son

I wonder if because I'm single I feel I have to work hard enough for two people

I want to be a better photographer

I think I'll always feel that way

I hope I always feel that way

I can't believe my son is 12yrs old next month

That's one year closer to me having a teenager

I love living in Picton

My mom and sister live across the road form me

I love it

30 doesn't roll off the tongue as well as 29 does

I've had 7 relationships this year

I can't stand lies on any level from my partner

that seems to always be the deal breaker

I have a friend who is trying to set me up on a blind date

ugh!

I'd like to not drink Iced Caps every day

I'd love to have more time to sing with my sister

We are terrible singers

but it's a lot of fun

Still there???

I'm glad my son has so many friends

and friends that live close by

he has a lot of sleep overs

Sometimes I have four boys crashing in my living room

teenage boys do not smell all that great

sometimes my living room smells like a mens locker room

to much info?

when I was born I weighed over 11lbs

my mom put two diapers on me to keep my chunky legs from rubbing against each other

the rubbing caused a rash

I have some very awesome clients

I think I piss off about 4 a year

out of hundreds, I don't think that's so bad

I can't please everyone

I'm not afraid to share that

I think more people need to be real

Anyone insulted I said piss?

I'm very happy with my life

My friend Gerri says 30-40 will be the best years of my life

I think she might be right

My sister threw my a dirty 30 party, love her :)

I miss someone a lot and think about them every day

if you ask me who I won't say

I'm off to work now

I have commercial work all day

my last day in my 20's

thanks for reading of you're still there

All I want for Christmas is...

...an About Image Photography Photo Session!

About Image Photography gift cards make great gifts!
