Introducing JOJO's REEL LOVE-Columbus, Ohio

We are please to announce a new project we have in development. We have created something exclusive to offer our amazing clients.  It is called REEL LOVE. 

Using High Definition video and our filmmaking experience, we tell a story that goes beyond the still image.  Your REEL LOVE film can be as simple as capturing all the special moments from your engagement session or you can make it more elaborate by adding a storyline.  You can create a short film as special and unique as your love story. You can use this little jewel as a save the date, a special feature at your wedding, or just as a way to celebrate your blooming relationship.  What is more inspiring than falling in love? So let's  get creative and make a piece of art with your love in the spotlight.

Please enjoy the following REEL LOVE film of Erin and Brandon.  To find out more about options and pricing please contact Jennifer at 614-465-6560

A new one...

I started February off with a session with this sweet little guy. All he wanted was to be swaddled and all we kept doing was undressing him. Despite this, mom and I worked together dodging poo and pee and we got some precious images. Ha, ha! What a crazy fun world it is when you have a newborn! I am sure his mom and dad would agree that this little bundle is definitely the best valentine ever:)

Look into the light!

I had the great opportunity this week to attend a lighting workshop with some great local photographers. We were all there to take our craft to the next level. I love the look of creative lighting but have to admit that when people start throwing around numbers and kelvins and such I sort of go blank. That is why a textbook or an instructional website only went so far with my numerically challenged brain. It was so much fun to be in an environment where everyone was learning and everyone was really creative. It was educational and also inspiring. The images below are a few of my favorites..... I will definitely be putting my new lighting skills into practice!
My advice for people that want to try something new but are dragging their feet (like me) is to jump in all the way even if it scares you. It will pay off....

National Council for Adoption

In November, Jon and I had the amazing opportunity to travel to Washington DC and photograph the National Council for Adoption's Awards Gala. We were so humbled that we were asked to be a part of an event for such a important organization. The party was so beautiful! The Council did an amazing job making this event so special for the award recipients. What impacted me personally was a presentation that they made half way through the event that highlighted how much work needs to be done to improve the foster care system. I cannot even imagine being totally on my own at eighteen without my family to rely on. This is what happens to many children who are of age and leave the foster care system. The NCFA is an organization that is a champion for these children. If you would like to donate or just be more informed....here is a link to their website:
