just because i want to . . . .

So, it's been a little quiet from me out there in photography world, I know. I've been thinking. Percolating, really.

I'm really excited to talk about a few things in the works, but I don't want to get ahead of myself! I've finally put some time into my website and it will be up soon. Well, soon is subjective, but ha ha ha ha . . . .

And I'm puttin' a mini-session promo out there for those who are interested. It is a smaller-than-normal package for a smaller-than-normal price. It's limited bookings and for a short time only. And it has perks - email me at jennydrakephotography@gmail.com for more info!


If you ask me, it's a perfect way to capture those images that tell the story of your family, just as you are. No pressure for the marathon family portrait shoot - although the whole fam can bring it, for sure. It's a moment. It's now. It's about you. And it's just because i want to.

i heart hearts . . . .

I love Valentines Day . . . or really, any chance I get to love up on the special people in my life. At my house today, we had heart shaped pancakes and sent singing telegrams. We wrote love notes and shared a Valentines feast with much loved friends.

The boys and I also attempted a freeze-our-buns off photoshoot on the front lawn. The hoarfrost was STUNNING (although I didn't get many pics of it as my sweet little guy fell and got snow on his face therein ending our snow romp). Poor Jack.


It was, er, brief. And cold. And pretty dark and gloomy ?! But cute.
I do need to mention that Will was also somewhat in the shoot . . . if you can count a brief stint of snow-throwing, then crying, and demands for hot chocolate. Ah, can you feel the love?


Happy heart day everyone. Love the ones you're with! I sure do.

The Valentines banner up there is also a little Jack tribute - those were his heart day pics from last year!!
