Baby's First Year Packages... PLUS!


Are you expecting or do you know someone who is? If so, JRN photography has a new program that is just right! 


Introducing...
Baby's First Year Packages… PLUS!


This program is designed to capture all those special memories from pregnancy through the first year of life.

First photo shoot is during the 34th to 36th week of pregnancy to capture the belly. Mama may bring Daddy as well as other siblings for fun and precious hands on the tummy pictures! The session can be done on location and/in your home.

The second photo shoot occurs once the precious bundle is here about 7-10 days old. This session is done in the client’s home. I will pack up my props, lighting, space heater, noise machine and head over. The majority of the shoot is of the baby, but if Mom and Dad or other siblings would like to join in for a few images, that is great too!

The next shoots happen when the baby is 3, 6, and 9 months old {depending on which package you select}. These shoots are for the baby only since it begins to get more difficult to get the best shots. And we want to make sure to have our full focus on the baby to get all those wonderful expressions. These sessions can be done on location and/or in your home. A family session can be done separately at a different date.

The final sitting is for the first birthday {around 12 months}. Again, we want to have most of the focus on the celebration, but if you would like a family picture at this time, we are happy to do a couple pictures for you. Most clients choose do a smash cake at this time. This is done in the last 30 minutes of the session if you chose to do so. A cake from Shana Bailey with Pink Cookie Box is included in this session if you chose to do the Smash Cake photos.

Contest Winners

I did a photo contest on my fan page a month ago and have had the pleasure of photographing most of them. (3 of the 4)

Contests are easy to enter and rewarding with fabulous pics. My fans entered pictures of their kiddos wearing Blue for this contest by emailing them to me. I posted them and the voting began. To vote: the family and friends of the contestant came to my fan page (Facebook Fan Page) and first made sure they had "liked" my page then went to the picture they wanted to vote for and "liked" it as well. They could vote for one or all of them, there was no limit on the number of votes.

I enjoy having contests on my page-- and meeting new fans/clients.


Here are a few of the contest winners...






Still waiting on Miss Ava's session. 


Thank you to all who participated and don't forget about your little treat for entering ;)

Shawon and Leanna Harris

Over the past few months I have had the honor of working with such an amazing couple, Shawon and Leanna. We first started off on a chilly windy morning to capture some awesome engagement photos. Shawon and Leanna were both troopers and went everywhere with me with a smile. :) Then I did bridals of Leanna and her mom came along... she was a FABULOUS assistant I might add. Shawon and Leanna tied the knot on June 4, 2011 at the Jones AT&T Stadium in the suites. Shawon and Leanna are both Texas Tech grads and reside in Lubbock, TX. I wish them many many many years of happiness.

Here are a few of my favorite while my time working with Shawon and Leanna.











Thank you guys so much for allowing me to be apart of your special day. Also I thank Elizabeth Davis for being a second shooter.

I'M GETTING MARRIED!!

I would like to officially announce to all my clients that I am getting married on July 3, 2011. I will be "off"  from July 1st until July 17th. I am marrying a Shallowater man, Jordan Daniel Rackler. He is a farm boy from a small town that is a proud daddy to a little guy that is just 10 months older than my daughter. Brooklyn and Justin love each other BUT they are a HANDFUL. I will be locating to Shallowater, TX but will be shooting in Lubbock and surrounding communities. I look forward to many years with my new family. I love my new sister in law, Stephanie and her husband Brandon. They have 3 beautiful kiddos but they live so far away in the Houston area. My new in laws are Cindy and Steve Rackler, they also live in Shallowater and we attend the First Baptist Church of Shallowater. 

I have been asked if my business name will change and as of right now I do not believe it will. It will stay JRN photography since that is how I am known. I appreciate all my clients and love the word of mouth and hope that continues. I have a referral program in effect: Refer 5 NEW clients receive an additional $25 in print credit toward a NEW session.

I know, I know, I know!!!


I keep telling myself and everyone else I am going to do a better job at keeping up. "How hard can blogging once a night be?!!" right?? Well for a single mom, student, and running this business all by myself... can be HARD. And now I wont be single as of July 3, 2011. I am marrying the greatest man on this Earth and he also has a son full time that is 10 months older than my princess. So I now have my hands full times 2!! I love it, but boy it can be tough. I am blessed to get to stay home and run my business and "play" with the kiddos... more like play referee. :) So with my life quickly changing along with keeping up with ALL of my fabulous clients on facebook and keeping my website up to date (which needs to be done) blogging kinda falls off. So I apologize, and once again I am vowing to KEEP UP WITH THE BLOG!!!
