I always feel a little sad weeding out old favorites and replacing them with newer ones–and how I wish I had room for everyone!–but I must tell you it was great fun going through all of my work from the past year and a half (and beyond–once I get digging in hard drives, it’s hard to stop!) Suffice to say, if you’ve been a client of mine, you’ve been on my mind the past few days!

With some random summer illness going around our house, plus the holidays, plus a full load of work, I still have several blog posts to catch up on, which I promise to get to very shortly. I know I’ve got some anxious clients out there waiting to see some sneak peeks (trust me–all good!)

In the meantime, check out the new and improved Jennifer Breton Photography and let me know what you think!

xox,

But first, some big news: This month, I am beyond thrilled to be featured in Berks County Living. It’s funny how, 10 years ago, I was fresh out of college right at BCL’s infancy: I so desperately wanted to land a job writing for them, but never sent in my resume because I was scared to be rejected due to a lack of experience (which I was gaining at another magazine, not nearly as cool as BCL–well, unless you consider writing articles about anal incontinence cool. ;) Never would I have envisioned that 10 years later, I’d be so lucky to have my photography on the cover. If you’re interested in picking up a copy, you can find them at the GoggleWorks, at Barnes & Noble and other news outlets around town.

This is Ben, who I think looks an awful lot like a Ben, dontcha think? Maybe it’s just that my son’s friend Ben is a redhead and that makes me think of Bens as being redheads, but I think he was aptly named.

(Ben also has a talented grandma who knows how to make very cute knit hats and blankets…)

(and this is Ben showing me his 2-week-old muscles… ;)

And then this is Morgan. I’m not quite sure I have any pictures of her making muscles, but I tell you this: The little one is going to be walking before she turns one. Guarantee it. She was a strong and alert little girl whenever she was awake (which isn’t in any of these pictures, but just take my word for it, ;)…

And finally, this is Caroline, who is newly blessed and simply stunning in her first communion dress (despite not wanting to wear it again to have her portraits taken–that’s what I think living with two brothers will do to a girl!) Congratulations and blessings, sweet Caroline!

Appointments usually fill very quickly. Please call 610-223-9700 for more details and to schedule your session.

And from now until November 1st, cards are 10% off for all clients who completed a non-fall/holiday mini session with me. (For a handful of clients who are just receiving or will shortly be receiving your proofs, you can reserve your cards now with the discount if you so choose.) Please call 610.223.9700 for details.

The fall & holiday mini sessions will be beginning this weekend, and are completely booked for October, and possibly fully-b0oked for November. I can probably squeeze in one more client for the second week in November, and if the weather stays nice, I may extend the sessions one more week to the 22nd. If you’re interested, please let me know ASAP as I will definitely be closing my November calendar soon (though if you’re pregnant or just had a baby, I’ll always do my best to fit in a belly or a brand new baby! :)

If you’re thinking about a session for early ‘10, I’m going to be debuting a new documentary style session, and will be looking for a few special families to share a half day with you and your kids. Please keep your eyes on the blog for a special offer coming up soon after the fall sessions.

If you are waiting for your proofs, I promise to be in touch soon–things, as usual, have been busy and I am running a few weeks behind with proofing, which was just complicated by my computer deciding that it didn’t want to work quickly any longer. A new computer has arrived (if I could only find wake up and find all that I need installed on it!) and I am hoping to be zipping through sessions much quicker in the next two weeks. I am very much appreciative of your patience and understanding–thank you for sitting tight. :)

And finally, because I can’t post without pictures, I worked with two seniors (one’s a senior at Daniel Boone high school here in Berks County, the other at Cedar Crest High School in Lebanon County). I was a bad blogger trying to keep my mini session and open house info at the top of the blog for a few weeks, so I was waiting to post their sessions until the open house was over. Congrats on your senior years, Sammy & Steven, and best wishes!

For more information, please feel free to contact me at 610.223.9700. For more information on the GoggleWorks or directions, please feel free to visit the GoggleWorks website at goggleworks.org or call them at 610.374.4600. Please remember, there’s plenty of free parking in the rear of the building, and many other exciting family activities throughout the building on October 11th.

I look forward to seeing you there!

I look forward to hearing from you!
