rachel, class of ‘11 | reading and berks county senior photographer

Friday, August 27, 2010 Posted in teens & seniors

When I met my husband, one of the things that endeared me so much to him was his huge, extended family. You know, one of those ones where people who are not actual blood relatives are uncles and aunts and cousins… Rachel is a part of my husband’s family–not through blood directly, I don’t think (although I know there’s distant ties of people being married to someone who’s married in there somewhere!)–and although I must say it’s been either a long time since I saw her, or maybe we’ve never met–I was really excited to finally see her (again?) and catch up with her family. I know she’s humble, but she’s a star runner at Holy Name, and it was really cool to hear about her dedication to her sport with her training and her diet.

Did I also mention that she’s gorgeous? And very, very sweet to boot. But trust me, you’ll figure that out in a moment when you see some of her senior portraits.

Thanks for the awesome night, Rachel! It was great catching up with with you, and I wish you all the best during your senior year–and beyond!

xoxo

fall & holiday mini sessions ‘10 | pennsylvania outdoor photographer

Monday, August 16, 2010 Posted in news

Back by popular demand, (seriously–I’ve already got quite a few people booked! :) I’m happy to announce my fall and holiday mini session collections for ‘10. Have you seen this year’s sneak peek of cards? I’m so excited about this year’s line (samples forthcoming shortly) and they’re sure to compliment your family’s portraits beautifully! (You know you get classy press-printed-on-heavy-cardstock, professionally-designed cards from me. These are definitely not something you can pick up at your local Target!)

This year’s sessions consist of one collection (how’s that for simplicity?!) and will begin on October 1st and go through November 15th. But, as always, availability is limited. I encourage you to book early to make sure you’re a part of this very popular event!

Just like in years’ past, your mini session is not rushed or hurried as the next family waits impatiently over your shoulder. Your children and family are given plenty of time for your session: I’ve done the cramped mall studios right before the holidays, and I’ve certainly seen my share of frustrated and frazzled parents trying to get that perfect shot of their little ones in front of the tree. These sessions give you a wonderful opportunity to play with your children and capture real, authentic and beautiful portraits of your kids and family during the colorful and beautiful fall season–portraits that will remain timeless well beyond your tree coming down and all the returns being made.

To book your session, please contact me at 610.223.9700 or email me at jennifer@jenniferbretonphotography.com.

bragging rights | bucks county family photographer

Wednesday, August 11, 2010 Posted in babies, families

I must admit having a very hard time keeping a straight face this evening during dinner when my husband asked about how my session this morning went and where my clients lived.

“Spain,” I said.

“Huh?” he replied, obviously dumbfounded. “Really? They came all that way to see you?”

(Nah, they’re visiting family in Bucks County, but we won’t tell him that. ;)

non-beach beach portraits | new jersey shore photographer

Wednesday, August 11, 2010 Posted in families, kids

Our annual trek to Cape May recently ended (*sniff*), but while we were on vacation, I was excited to meet with Jess & Dave and their boys, who are all lifelong natives of Avalon, to photograph their family. The night we got together for our brief session was rather hectic and crazed with thunder rumbling in the background and overcast skies (and the radar) promising an imminent downpour and storm. As such, Jess suggested a little out-of-the-way boardwalk sanctuary right by the lighthouse so that we could run back to the car quickly just in case it started raining near the end of our session (which it did ;).

Back here at home, I got a chance to really start going through her session, and I had to chuckle a little as the portraits don’t look very “beachy” for them being taken just a few steps from the shoreline. But I suppose if you’re from the shore, chances are the sand and the surf may look just as commonplace as grass and trees to us. Ah, what a wonderful life that must be to never leave vacation! :)

jenna ‘11 | lebanon county senior photographer

Wednesday, July 28, 2010 Posted in teens & seniors

In a few weeks, my daughter will be entering her final year in elementary school. The bossy-by-nature, first-born that she is, she’s been excited lately to return to school and be one of the “big” kids–but I must admit when she asks me to get all excited with her, it’s hard for me to not mark this occasion with a little bit of apprehension, as next year, she’ll be leaving the safe nest of elementary and released into the big, bad world of middle school and beyond, where who-knows-what will await her. Certainly my friends with kids older than mine make me scared of the years beyond elementary and how much sooner innocence is shattered.

Jenna is one of the young women I’ve been lucky enough to photograph this year who restores my faith that not all girls in high school are Snookie wannabes. She’s a bright, athletic, beautiful girl with a really good heart. She’s the kind of girl that I’d be proud to call my own–and during our session, I could just see how proud her mom was of her, and how confident she is that she did a great job raising her and knowing that when Jenna leaves a much bigger nest than elementary school next year, she’ll be confidently going to college with a good head and a kind heart.

All my best to you during your senior year, Jenna!

worth the wait | montgomery county newborn photographer

Wednesday, July 28, 2010 Posted in maternity & newborns

This is Kieran, and like most all newborns, he operates on his own schedule. From what I understand, he kept his parents waiting when he was trying to be conceived, he kept his Mom waiting several days past his due date (despite being predicted to arrive several weeks early), and he certainly kept a certain photographer waiting for him to fall asleep both in the studio and then later outside, when we decided that might be the best place for him to sleep to be photographed. Never wanting to be left out, Mother Nature got in on the “waiting” action when we scheduled the outdoor segment last week, and rain ruined our plans and pushed our session to this week.

Still in all, I will certainly attest to the wait being worth it (and from his parents’ obvious smitteness, I’d say they think the wait was worth it, too.)

Congratulations Michele & Chris! All of my best to you guys, and many thanks again for your patience. xox

boy in blue | lancaster children’s photographer

Friday, July 16, 2010 Posted in kids

This is Holden, and he’s the son of a photographer. Like many photographers’ children, he has a severe case of PCS (photographer’s child syndrome). For those of you unaware of PCS, it’s a very real condition–as any photographer will tell you–which includes severe aversion to looking at the camera, and general anxiety and unsmiling-ness whenever a camera is pointed towards them, often resulting in running in the opposite direction. Amazingly, this condition–while not contagious–often does cause symptoms in parents, primarily frustration that they can’t take pictures of their own children. (If you happen to walk by my studio close to Christmas, and hear me crying, that would be because it’s the one time a year that I force my own kids to have pictures with me, and it often doesn’t go very well….. :)

The cure for PCS? Getting someone other than mom or dad to take the pictures–as well as a ton of fun on a summer morning splashing in the lake and getting sand between the toes!

(I hope you are thrilled, Carrie! xox!)
