ok, maybe it’s not REALLY…not with it still being in the 110 degree range outside, HOWEVER, it is (unbelievably) time to start planning ahead for holiday portraits, cards and gifts.
i am thrilled to offer a limited number of holiday mini sessions this year. these sessions are 30 minutes in length and are offered on september 26th, 27th and october 18th. you will be shown 8-10 images in a private gallery. you may choose between a downtown urban location OR a local farm location with lots of green & trees…there is something to fit everyone’s style. during these sessions we will still aim to capture as much variety as possible within the time allowed. please contact me for full details and pricing. because these sessions are offered at such a great value, please do contact me quickly to reserve your spot.
i am also booking a few full sessions in addition to the mini sessions. if you have not had a session with me previously, here is how it works…full sessions are typically 1-2 hours long & we do it all! family shots, the siblings, individuals, mom & dad…lots of time for playful, fun images. these sessions can be done in your home or location of your choice….and clothing changes are welcome!
all sessions requiring holiday delivery need to be completed prior to november 1st with orders being accepted NO LATER THAN november 7th.
you may schedule sessions for november & december, however, these sessions will not be guaranteed holiday delivery. if you are expecting a newborn and would like a newborn session, please contact me asap so that we can tentatively schedule your session. with the busy holiday season, it is very hard for me to squeeze in extra shoots, so call early! newborns are ideally photographed at 10 days old or younger.
whew, ok enough said! feel free to contact me at any time with questions, concerns, comments or to reserve your session! i look forward to celebrating the holidays with you & your beautiful families!

i simply cannot believe it possible that my 2 oldest children are in school…okay just kindergarten & preschool respectively, but weren’t they JUST babies??? i did good. watched my little girl get on that BIG bus, knowing that she’d be gone ALL DAY LONG and didn’t shed a tear…that is not until after the bus drove away. and then i had a good cry. missed my baby girl. ok, not so much sadness with the little guy. with preschool only twice a week for 2 1/2 hours a pop, i enjoy the breather. sigh…but i still can’t believe how quickly they are growing up.
tag, i’m it + a little california dreamin’ | az photographer | jen roberts

My dear friend and fellow photographer Rachel tagged me quite awhile back (yup I’m a slacker) & I’m FINALLY getting around to it. Ok, so six quirky things about me….hmmmm….do I have six quirky things? Gotta think a bit..or maybe I should just ask my husband. I’d be willing to bet he could list a few more than six. ;) Ok, here we go…
Quirk #1: I loved school. LOVED it. College especially. I’d go back in a heartbeat although that would be pretty tough with three little bitty kids.
Quirk #2: I’m a perfectionist but sooooo not perfect. In my dream world EVERYTHING would have a place and everything would be in it. My reality is far, far, far from the dream world.
Quirk #3 I’m a little obsessed about gift wrapping. Bow must be carefully hand tied with matching paper and custom card. I’m a FREAK about it at Christmas time. I already have a plan for this Christmas, complete with matching ornaments.
Quirk #4: I LOVE chocolate cake with milk…no not a GLASS of milk, but milk actually poured over the top of the cake into a bowl, enjoyed with a spoon. Inherited this from my Dad. Seriously, don’t knock it till you try it.
Quirk #5: I love bookstores, especially the smell in there. Ahhhhh, new books just waiting to be cracked open. I could spend HOURS in a bookstore, just wandering and reading. I LOVE to read…keeps me up way too late at night (that and proofing pictures). I just finished The Other Boleyn Girl…a good one.
Quirk #6: I’m horribly uncoordinated. So, although I’m quite tall and was frequently asked if I tried out for basketball & volleyball…well…I just wasn’t that girl. All arms & legs. We are hoping the kids inherit my husband’s coordination.
AND since this is a photo blog after all and I CANNOT post without a picture…here’s a little California dreamin’. Nah the leaves are NOT brown here in sunny AZ nor is the sky gray in any way shape or form, but I’m STILL California dreamin’ since our TWO summer vacations to San Diego. Sigh…I miss it. Here’s my girlie enjoying the sunshine….

I was overjoyed when I heard that my dear book club buddy Tenay was expecting twins! Two sweet, baby boys to wrap up her darling family. These two were a dream to photograph and different as night and day. Thank you Tenay for the pleasure of capturing your babies during this precious, albeit fleeting moment.
