Andria got some new interfit lights this week, so we decided to give them a go. This was her turn in front of the camera. :)

SURPRISE!
I woke up yesterday morning not feeling quite well, fighting a sore throat & cold, but the weather was absolutely beautiful. All week I kept trying to make plans because I knew it was supposed to be nice out, Ken's sister is home for a visit, and I figured we should either be hanging out or scouting potential studio locations since Ken had the day off of work. Oddly enough, everyone had plans for yesterday, and Ken insisted he was going to play hockey in the evening.
Ken took me for lunch yesterday, and then we came home and I sipped some hot tea for my throat and sat outside. I agreed to go for a walk, it was too beautiful of a day to just sit around, even if I wasn't feeling well, so we got my camera and headed out to walk by this one building listed for sale that we saw online. We walked through the park by our house, through Academy Hill Historic District, down near Seton Hill & 130, back up past the railroad station & down Pennsylvania Avenue.
I suggested stopping for a drink at DV8 if we had time before Ken had to leave for hockey, and so we did. If not for the coffee I probably would have dropped over before getting back home. While we were walking, I was wondering what was going on because Ken kept getting text messages and phone calls, but not saying anything to me. I asked and he said he was having trouble getting people together to play hockey. And there were times that I got suspicious that something was going on this past week, but Ken's pretty smooth, and he had me thinking I was making it all up in my head. So we kept walking, and I was ready to cut back towards the house, but Ken said that he wanted to keep walking and go up around the football field where we used to live. I didn't ask, but he had already taken my bag & camera for me, and I still had some hot coffee, so we kept going, circled around and headed back to the house. By the time we came up the hill I was SO exhausted and a bit sweaty.
I walked up the steps and heard a laugh, which confused me, I looked back thinking it had to come from the neighbors house, but then realized that didn't make any sense, so I looked at Ken, who just looked at me and said, "I love you". Confusedly, I said I love you too, and walked in the door to a house full of people!
SURPRISE!
it was a graduation party for me! I just wish that I wouldn't have been so tired and still had my camera in my hands! he he.
little did I know, the reason for dragging me all over the city was to give everyone enough time to get here, and to bring me back to the house without me seeing anyone's vehicles. very sneaky, this lot!
Here's a show of pictures from yesterday (a lot of them weren't taken by me) ...
It was so nice to celebrate with so many people who've supported me in various ways, and to finally have a get together at our house, we've lived here since November, this was the first!
Thanks to everyone for coming and props to the too giggly crew for actually pulling it off! ha ha. :P I love you guys!

Cutie McCupcakefaces
One of the things I've been enjoying more of lately is family time. It's weird when you live so close to everyone but have to force yourself to stay home and work on school projects. It's one of the reasons I was so forwardly welcoming the end of classes, I've always been close to our families & have missed just hanging out!
So, I've been getting out to some of my husband's hockey games & recently my sister in law and her family came to one with us...
There's the hubs on the right in the goalie gear, my brother in law, Harley, is behind him, and my sister's boyfriend is the one sitting down.
My sister was bad, so they put her in the penalty box!
...just kidding, she runs the clock sometimes...
This is my ever sad looking niece, Zoe. I wasn't trying to take her cupcake, I promise!
She's so dramatic. :P
cute nose scrunching cheese face, full of cupcake
And my nephew, Zachary, same face, ha ha!
Big eyes & a big mouth :P
...his mom was telling me how he has to put his hood up on his coat, and when he puts it on, its hood first, then the arms, no other way. these kids are so adorable...
yes, we know they're backwards, but that's how she wears 'em...
he he, oh, Miss Zoe!
My other sister in law is back for 2 weeks with my youngest nephew, and I can't wait to visit w/ her and everyone else, thank goodness for holidays...I will have my camera in hand! :)

new.
I'm really feeling great about a lot of things right now, one of which is of course the nice weather we've been having. I tend to be cold all the time, so it's a welcome change!
Also, my husband and I have been spending a lot of time working to make the business better. Without classes to fill my agenda, I've had time to research and I'm thrilled that it has led me to options for my clients (you guys!) that reflect my vision.
Think vintage, eco-conscious, & beautiful.
I think I had a past life in a previous century, as I've always been attracted to old things...
So, I've got some fantastic new collections that have vintage looking frames and eco-friendly albums both handmade in the U.S.A. The frames are hand painted with organic milk paint, and the albums are of the book assortment, with organic & vegan cover options. EXCITED YET?! :)
I've got one more lovely thing up my sleeve, it's exclusive to Aisling, and includes handmade and eco-friendly materials...
Anyhow, it was one of my goals going into graduate school to figure out all this stuff in my head and get my portraiture and wedding photography to resonate with my fine art. It was a difficult process, but I'm excited to say that I'm where I hoped I would be coming out of it!
Thanks for checking in :)
Much heart & good things,
Jen
p.s. I'm still working on the website galleries, but there are a lot of new images up already, so if you haven't been there in a while, go take a gander!
