I realized when going through my images this month for this post, that I have really gotten hooked on my Lensbaby! I am finding myself pulling it out more and more often. I love that soft and dreamy feel, and often the Lensbaby gives me just the right mood that I can’t quite achieve in […]

I am so excited about the themes we all decided on with our blog circle for this year, because once again I will have to step a bit out of my box to create each month’s image, and that is a wonderful thing! My portraits are normally all about light and joy, but to me […]

    This is great! I love how you are incorporating the work of another into your own. Can’t wait to hear about the class you are taking. Even the enlarged pupils add to the story in this image. Nice work Jessica!ReplyCancel

I am so excited that our portrait circle is sticking together for another year; it has been such a wonderful group of women! And we’ve added two more this year to our little group, which will make it even more fun! This month our theme was “Reflections.” I knew I wanted to somehow commemorate my […]

    Your lighting is always so perfect. This image is no exception. It has such a dreamy quality about it. And yes, she is becoming such a beautiful young woman.ReplyCancel

    She is so beautiful. Great capture.ReplyCancel

    Beautiful Jessica! I love the way it feels like we are peeking in on her getting ready and the perfect framing with the mirror. She looks lovely as always!ReplyCancel

  • Cassandra Oleary - January 16, 2014 - 3:38 pm

    Jessica your daughter is just so beautiful! She really is such a beautiful young lady! I really love how you have composed this image, it’s really fantastic! I feel as though I have been following you are your daughter for such a long time and I can really see how much she has grown! Beautiful!ReplyCancel

  • Laurie - January 17, 2014 - 1:02 pm

    Jessica! I can’t believe your daughter is a freshman. I have “known” of you and your daughter through CMs for years and have seen her grow up through pictures. I love your words you wrote about her. 🙂 Such sweet sentiment. Beautiful “milestone” portrait!ReplyCancel

  • Laura Veno - January 21, 2014 - 10:53 am

    Beautiful, as always, Jessica! Love the composition and framing. I love that mirror, too!!!ReplyCancel

  • Kim - January 21, 2014 - 11:22 am

    This is so pretty and airy! I agree, I feel like I have watched her grow up on CM over the years. She is lovely!ReplyCancel

    This is so beautiful. I love the soft feel and the framing of the image.ReplyCancel

This is my third year of doing this (here are 2011 and 2012), and I always love to look back on my year so I’ve decided to keep it an annual thing. (Plus, I will get to add one more image every year—this time I only have to narrow to 13 instead of to 12!) […]

This has been such a wonderful year for me in getting to know these ladies, and I am so excited that we are continuing on together in 2014 (admittedly, though, we haven’t yet settled on a topic…)! This month we decided to do a year in review, so we each picked our favorites from each […]

Things have been hectic around here for the past few months, so once again I took advantage of our Lensbaby clog circle post to slow down and just play with the holiday decorations and my Lensbabies. The 50mm glass optic: The Edge 80: The 50 with the starburst disk from the creative aperture kit and […]

We are entering year three of our Elf! (Year one is here, and year two is here and here.) Admittedly, she hasn’t been as busy this year as she normally is—life has been pretty crazy for us and the holidays sort of crept up on me. But still, Holly is keeping us entertained! She hid […]
