J. Passon Artistic Portraiture

[ my girls ]

Happy New Year!  I thought I would start 2010 with a few pictures of my two little babes.  A quick impromptu "session" to close out the day.  Let me tell you, there is nothing sweeter to a photographer mom's ear's than when the toddler asks to have her picture taken--especially when I wasn't even going to ask her.  Wahoo!  We quickly passed over the "no mommy, no pictures" phase...but I have a feeling that whenever I'm taking pictures of little sister she just might will be getting into the frame of the camera.  Oh well, there are worse things!

Enjoy these few pictures as you start 2010.  There are many great new things coming for J.Passon and you wonderful clients. Stay tuned to the blog and newsletter which will be out in a couple of weeks. 

 

 

 

 

  
 

[ little bit of merriment ]

As the last week of the Christmas and New Year holidays quickly passes by I wanted to share a few pictures of the joy of our time together as a family.  I am always very thankful for everything we have been blessed with but this time of year is when a few certain things come to mind.  Like my wonderful clients!  I have been blessed with the most amazing job in the world.  I get to develop relationships with wonderful families and capture your precious memories!  Another thing I am so thankful for is the fact that I am a professional photographer with wonderful equipment...which allows me to take these precious pictures of my own family.  I can't believe another year has come and is almost gone.  There are some great things in store for the clients of J.Passon for 2010!

 

My favorite new ornaments this year!  They come from my new jewelry & accessory vendor...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

[ blink ]

Seriously, that is what I feel like I did...blink and suddenly my brand new baby is 2 months old!  Quite the butterball too!!  Two months is definitely not a favorite age to photograph, but I am trying to make myself be a "mom" and take snapshots.  It is a hard lesson to learn that everything doesn't have to be "professional".  I'm trying though!

[ my little punkin' ]

I just finished processing a client's newborn session and I started to feel a little guilty that my own "newborn" is already 8 weeks old and I have yet to even make a dent into the bazillion of images from her first two weeks.  I scrolled through those many images and pulled a few to share...and to remind myself what a little perfect chunk she was!  When it comes to photographing newborns she was pretty much a nightmare--but looking at these images, it was so worth it.  I can't wait to get all of the "session" edited so I can share with you something very special that will be available to clients this year.  Some great new products!  Enjoy this little peek of my punkin'...

  
 

[ 300th post ]

In honor of my 300th blog post I thought I would share another image of my new little one.  Yes, this is me and my baby girl at 10 days old...probably one of the few times I will ever be in a picture with her!  Thankfully my mother, who is also a photographer, was able to be here to help me capture some priceless images.  I figure if I process one image a day from her newborn sessions, I may be caught up in 3 years or so!  Enjoy...

[ my grandma ]

I just received some very sad news.  My Grandma Joyce died this morning.  I was extremely close to her and it breaks my heart that she is gone.  She had cancer for the last year and is now in heaven. 

In light of these circumstances, responses to emails regarding print orders and cards will take a little longer.  All orders will still be ready in time for Christmas.  Thank you for your patience during this difficult time.

Here are a few pictures of me, my grandma, my mom and Ava when she was 5 months old...in memory of my dear grandma.

  

[ in daddy's hands ]

Slowly making my way through some images...nothing sweeter than a newborn baby girl in daddy's hands--especially when it is my baby girl!

[ sweet feet ]

Perfection.

[ announcing ]

Sigh...I have been away from the blog too long.  Partly I was waiting to send out our announcements to family and friends so that I could post it here for all of you.  They went out in the mail two days ago and I just can't wait any longer!  Here is the gorgeous announcement designed by Pink Rabbit Design featuring two images I took of our little girl on day 4 and day 5.  Crazy to think she is 3 1/2 weeks old now! 

We are starting to get in a groove around here which I'm hoping will give me some time and energy to process all of her newborn pictures as I'm dying to see them myself and show them to everyone!  In addition to her pictures, I have 3 clients having newborns in December so it will be a month full of babies.

Enjoy...

[ day 4 ]

Today was the first of many "sessions" of our new little one over the next week or so and I wanted to share one quick image.  Judging from the many emails and notes from friends, family and clients, you are all very anxious to see some pictures!  I'm having lots of fun trying some new skills and techniques that I learned at the workshop I attended last month.  Our little girl is doing great and was quite a champ for her first session at 4 days old.  More to come...
