Cute Kiddos

Today is a beautiful sunny day and I should be outside, but first I wanted to post some cute kiddo pictures. I'm also torn b/w the nice weather and watching my Auburn Tigers play Georgia. I have to throw out a big WAR EAGLE!

It's hard to choose from all the cutie pies I've taken photos of...but here are a few.

1st...I couldn't resist...look at these adorable little feet

This little one is sleeping on mom's shoulder
Look at these precious hands
This scene makes me want to be a mom...how adorable all curled up.Look at these blue eyes...and blue buttons to match. This picture makes me giggle!
Look at the fun sea shell
The picture I took before this one, all the leaves completely covered her head. I totally remember being a kid and playing in the leaves. So fun!
How exciting to find a big stick in the woods.
Love the intent look while coloring. He is an amazing artist and loves his playdough too.
When I was in Italy, I got this shot while playing in San Marco Square. This is probably one of my all time favorite shots. When the photo is blown up really big, his eyes are so green and he has such a look....I love it!
These girls are so adorable.
Look at her pondering away.
This cute little girl is completely intrigued by my dolphin tatoo. =)
She also loves her my little ponies and this squishy dinosaur... CHOMP!
Blue eyes
This kiddo was so proud to be a flower girl and especially loved her tiara.

LOVE kids giggling...

Here's another flower girl...she was a bit more shy...still, so cute.

This little boy was so excited while watching fireworks...I had to take a pic of him.
Well folks...that's all for now. Enjoy your weekend!

By the way, more pictures to come .... stay tuned.

A little taste...wedding pics

Thank you all for your warm responses to my new blog and the pictures I have posted. It's taking some time to get a website up with more photos for you all to look at and truely see what type of work I do, so, I'm including a little taste of moments I've captured. My blog will also include what else is happening in my life: work, play, goals, friends and family.

The first group of pictures are of weddings. My most recent wedding are great friends of mine, N&J ...congratulations you two! My dear friends, Judy and Dean, let me take their engagement photos and I also got to capture their beautiful wedding day. So hard to choose just a couple pics since there are so many fun, and gorgeous ones to choose from. There are more weddings I photographed this year, so I just included a couple.

This next week I will post some of my favorite pictures...creative, scenic, people, etc. Tomorrow I will show pictures of kiddos and a pregnancy photo shoot I did. Hope you enjoy. Come back daily to see what else is new. Thanks for all your support.

N was a GORGEOUS bride...here's one of my favorite shots of her looking out the window at the gorge.

N&J sharing a great moment right after they became Mr. and Mrs.

D&J's wedding. Here's a great shot of their decorations (done by Donna at DiStephano winery http://www.distefanowinery.com/. The photo in the background is one I took of them during their engagement shoot.

J was such a beautiful and graceful bride...she's so photogenic.

DiStefano Wine...check them out! My first wedding that I photographed, solo, was of M&T. M&A were a beautiful and exotic couple to take pictures of...






Another cute couple on their way out.
So many more to share...so keep checking back and soon, I will have a website up.

TGIF (tomorrow)

Family Photo Shoot

I had the pleasure of photographing this adorable family yesterday. I've added only a few of the fun pics I was able to capture while the kids were busy running around in the leaves and on the beach. Mom, Lindsay, takes tons of pictures of her kids, but rarely gets to get in the action...so I made sure to get plenty of fun pictures with her, her husband, Kyle and Ella and Kohen, the two cuties. The first pic is so sweet with Ella admiring her shell, Kohen being mischievious and mom and dad trying to hold them still for a quick photo. So cute! Lots of giggles were had when mom and dad found 'tickle spots' on the kids.

Lindsay walking the kids down to the beach...love the simplicity of every day activities.
Lindsay and Ella having a moment together.
Ella having fun playing in the leaves.
What a cutie pie!

I'm Bubbling within from excitement; also, HOLIDAY PHOTO SHOOT SPECIAL

Starting a new business is so exciting. I have wanted to do photography, seriously...since I can remember. I don't think people would describe me with out camera in hand... I am always taking pictures (I take good ones if I say so myself). Compliments have always been wonderful and I've been told I have a unique and creative 'eye' and that I should start a business. So, at the ripe age of 32, I'm starting a new path (however, I have to keep the day job until money going out is less than money coming in). The advanced photography course I took with http://www.merakoh.com/ taught me so much and had a wonderful time with the attendees that were there. MeRa has posted some of our pics on her blog today...so fun! I've taken engagement pics, weddings, pregnancy shoot, a newborn and lots of kiddos and family. Today I'm doing another family portrait session. Darn the clouds though...I was hoping for some sun today. I'm following my dream and look forward to this new adventure. I CAN DO IT!
A special for you....
I'm offering my time and my eye to any new Seattle (or surrounding areas) based clients an introductory special for a family/kiddo/or couple shoot...1 hour for $150 which includes 50 or more edited photos on a DVD. You can contact me at jmacniven@hotmail.com.
I will upload photos soon to give you a little taste of my work ;).
Can't wait to share my talent and be to capture some of your memories for you.
Cheers,
Jen
