Life got Crazy

In case anyone is wondering, I am still planning on updating this little ol' blog.  I've just been busy getting caught up from this crazy summer.  The most insane summer of my life so far.  It started off with us moving from Vermilion back to our home town St. Paul, making a (long) trip to Saskatoon, and shooting my first wedding of the year... all in one week!  We tried to squeeze in as much fun and family time as possible between all the weddings and other commitments and we did manage to really enjoy it. :) Then the summer ended with our daughter Kyra starting kindergarten! Any mom (or parent) knows how huge that is.  This summer brought many big changes and I've been so fortunate to have met so many wonderful people and shared so many memories.
Until I'm caught up and all my clients receive their images, this poor little ol' blog is gonna have to wait.   Until then, have a peek at what to expect coming up.  And you can always "like" my facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/JacobaRosePhotography to see what I've been up to.

 

 

 

Huge HUGE thank you to all my awesome, amazing clients for trusting me to capture some of the most important moments of your lives.  Thanks to you, my business has grown much much quicker than I ever expected.  Which leads me to thank you for your patience & understanding as I'm finding my groove with all the new changes in both my personal & business worlds.
THANK YOU!!!

Michelle & Jamison - Edmonton Engagement Photography

I had a great time getting to know this couple.  And they did so great despite being shaken up from being in a  car accident shortly before our session.  Don't worry, no one was hurt, but it's never fun!
This session took place on the same crazy-windy day as Heather & David's session.  I was hoping the wind would die down a little bit, but I think it actually just kept getting worse.  At one point, as I was kneeling & leaning to get a photo, it actually blew me over.  No joke.  Tiny bit embarrassing, but at least we had a good laugh about it!  We first headed to the Legislature where Jamison works.  Despite living in/near Edmonton for nearly 10 years, I don't think I've actually been to the Legislature grounds since our school field trip (in grade 6 maybe?).  No wonder so many people get their photos done there, it's beautiful!  Then we headed downtown again to hide from the wind by the tall buildings. 
Thanks again Michelle & Jamison!   I can't wait for your August wedding.

 

Heather & David - St. Paul, AB Engagement Photos - Edmonton

I met up with Heather & David in Edmonton back in May on probably the windiest day.... ever.  I think the wind blew me the whole way to Edmonton.  I was a tiny bit worried how the shoot would go with that crazy wind, but we managed to get a little creative, wait for the right timing between gusts and find a little shelter.  We started in their back alley at their condo near Whyte Ave, then headed to the river valley, where the wind was just a little too insane,and lastly, we went downtown where the buildings helped us out a lot!
I'm looking forward to their August wedding in St. Paul!

Raynelle - St. Paul, Alberta Family Photography

My beautiful sister-in-law Raynelle...
I'm so excited to have a new niece or nephew very very soon!
We did this "session" a few weeks ago, super super quick.  And by super quick, I mean in about 10 minutes... and it reminded me again.... there are very good reasons why I don't bring my kids to sessions with me!  We had them over for a BBQ and thought we would try to get a few maternity pictures in.  We were all outside with too many toys so of course Deklyn didn't want to sit still for pictures!  Anyway, we managed to sneak a few at least.  I cannot wait to meet the new Robinson Bundle :)

At least we got one with Deklyn!  You can see how enthused he was about photos.  haha.  love him!

My life - St. Paul, AB Photographer

We are finally getting settled into our new (and old) home in our new (and old) town ;)
Everything is still a little coo-coo crazy with our schedules and (lack-of) routines.  So while I'm a little behind, I still make sure to keep my family first. My absolute #1 priority is my girls.  All the giggling, screaming, hugging, whining, goofiness, messiness, cuteness & beautifulness that are my girls. I'm so thankful to have clients who understand and have been so patient while I'm catching up after the move :)
I will be posting sneak peeks of the family/children/engagement sessions and two weddings as I catch up in the next few weeks.  Stay tuned!  In the meantime, I thought I would share a little of the craziness that I call my life ;)
