FYI

It occured to me that I should let you know I have a new IMPROVED blog! Check it out- www.jennifernace.com/blog Check in there for recent updates and stuff :-)

Attn Seniors (or soon to be seniors ;-)

I just wanted to put a preview of a great new product I'll be offering this year. 411 cards are the new IT thing to pass out to friends. They are wallet sized cards that include your contact info/facebook/myspace etc...as well as a few images from your session. Check em out! LOVE THESE:









Contact me if you would like to place an order. I can still do them for the 08 seniors to hand out. And I also have to show off the CUTEST hats I got recently. SOOO cute and I can't wait to use them. I got about 5 different styles/colors/sizes. Here is one my little guy let me try on him. (I know I am biased but SERIOUSLY? He is CUTE and I could just go in and wake him up right now so I could squeeze him. ) I'm working on some new things and hopefully will have more sneak peeks and some 08 graduation open house cards to post soon! Have a good one :-)

PLEASE SUPPORT A SPECIAL FAMILY

I did some portraits recently for the Voigt family and they were the NICEST family EVER. I had so much fun and you could literally feel the love between them all! It was a very special session for me...and I really really hope that you'll head out to the benifit breakfast this weekend!!! Here is a collage I did for them as well. THANKS FOR SUPPORTING THIS GREAT FAMILY.

Recent sessions...

I had a few really FUN sessions this week and I had to share. From a newborn (SERIOUSLY...if I could keep her I would) To a 5 year old-- This little guy was just so easy and if every session was like this I'd be SO set! LOL. And finally a SENIOR...the last for the year I think :-) I just adore her hair. We had a really great time. The is literally the first image I took at her session--can't wait to look at the rest :-) I have more stuff to post about this week so I'll be back soon LOL. I'll leave it at this for tonight though.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

Here are a few quick pictures of my boys...crazy as ever. I hope you all had a WONDERFUL day with all of your loved ones...

BOYS-

Well, I guess it was going to happen sometime. My little Ashton got his first black eye- courtesy of his big Brother Aidan. It was an accident, they were running and being rough, and Ashton fell and hit his eye on a vent. UGH....poor little buddy! While I'm here talking about boys, I'll share a few of my recent favorites. Both these little guys have been to me before and they came in for their first Birthday session! Eli thought I was funny.... Jack, not so much...HA! This SO cracks me up. They sure look like they are enjoying themselves LOL LOL. He has SUCH pretty blue eyes. I didn't even enhance them! Wow, huh? LOVE this. I just think it's so funny. And some cake pictures. I'll have some more previews online soon :-) It is 3am, and I am going to bed! I am such a night owl...

I should be sleeping but...

I HAD to share these. Oh my gosh I had the cutest baby in today! IT was SO fun. Hee hee...I could eat him up!


And while I'm here, I might as well show off my sweet little Niece! I can't believe how big she is already. It seems like I just posted newborn photos of her a few days ago, and now she's already almost 9 months old. She is the sweetest happiest baby I know. Love her to pieces... (and I love to spoil her with cute girl clothes too HEE HEE).




GOOD NIGHT! I'll have a few more sneak peeks soon!

Senior Site is up!

Check it out!! www.jennifernace.com (click on the senior link). I love how it turned out! Hope you like it too! :-) While I'm here-- I have to show off the cutest baby I photographed today. You all know how much I love babies! I had to work a little at this one, she was 3 weeks old already but OH SO CUTE and SOOO worth working for ;-) Enjoy... The first 2 were shot with natural light at my NEW STUDIO!!!! This is one of my favorites: I LOVE IT when they smile like this in their sleep. I get so excited when I am able to capture it.. You may recognize Mom and Dad from the maternity session a few posts back which I also LOVED :-) I should get to sleep now! Goodnight!

SOOO EXCITED!

MY NEW WEBSITE IS LIVE!!!! www.jennifernace.com Let me know what you think :-) I'm loving the new look. More changes to come soon. I'm working on the senior and wedding sites now. I have to change all the other stuff to include the new logo! I'm really hoping that once I get moved into the new studio I'll have LOTS of exciting sessions, contests, etc going. Keep checking back for the latest! Thank you ALL!

A preview of the new ME!

I'm working day and night (and I mean that literally--last night I was up until 4am) trying to get this all finished. I have SOOO many new images to showcase on my updated site. It's so much fun, I can't wait. Also you may notice I have a new logo. This one is going to last forever! I have SO many exciting things in the works....I can barely sleep. More previews soon! I shoot my first sessions in the new studio later this week. LOTS to do before then. I'll try to get some pictures ASAP :-)

Just an update...

I wanted to thank everyone who prayed for Trae. I am so sad to report that he is no longer with us. It has been a rough week for my family. My cousin Monica (Trae's Mom) brought him to the doctor last Thursday night around midnight and she was told he had a sinus infection (even after a CT scan showed some abnormalities). They went home and by the time he woke up Friday morning things had gotten so bad that he was really out of it. Monica called the ambulance and they brought him to Children's Hospital where they immediately knew something was wrong. They figured out he had a sinus infection but that it had progressed into meningitis. By that point, it was so severe and was such an aggressive infection, there was nothing they could do. IT was such a freak thing. Things like this really make you reevaluate what is really important. I have worked so hard this past year I feel like I don't get enough time to truly enjoy my babies or my husband. I have decided that this year, things will be different. As much as I LOVE my business and my clients, I am a Mom first and a photographer second. It also makes me realize how important my job is. You never ever know what life has in store for us. I only wish I had gotten the chance to photograph my cousin and her beautiful son Trae before this happened. She had an appointment scheduled this summer and I had to change it because I was so busy. I think I will ALWAYS feel guilty for that. Please continue to pray for my cousin Monica and everyone else who loved Trae. I can only imagine what she is going through. No one should ever have to loose a child. There is a memorial fund set up in Trae's honor at the Roundbank here in Waseca if anyone is interested in donating. Thanks for listening to me ramble. Now, go give your kids a hug...

PLEASE SAY A PRAYER

I just got news that my cousins son, Trae, has spinal meningitis and it isn't looking good. He is in the hospital right now but they think it has progressed too far. He needs ALL THE PRAYERS HE CAN GET. Thanks....

HAPPY NEW YEAR and Important info-

I know, I have totally been slacking. This month has been so insane. I still have a few things left to do before I'm all caught up. The work never seems to end. ANYWAY----I am moving out of my current studio tomorrow (YIKES). Obviously if you need me, I won't be there anymore. The new studio is coming along and I promise to post pictures soon. For the month of Jan. I'll be working from home and only doing sessions at the new place. Hopefully everything will be done by Feb and I'll be able to work from there full time. UNTIL MY PHONE IS HOOKED UP you can reach me at 507-210-2843 Email is always the best way to contact me. My address is j.nace@mchsi.com Thanks for ALL of your support this year. 2007 was a whirlwind. I feel like I have grown so much. I can't thank each and every one of my clients enough for choosing me to capture such important memories. I absolutely love what I do and hope to continue for many years to come. I hope you all had a WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS and have a GREAT NEW YEAR!!!!!! One more thing. I am so excited to roll out my new logo and website. I was hoping to have it done by the 1st but with the new studio and all the sessions I'm behind on that HA! I should have it online this month sometime. I can't wait to showcase my more recent work and the new look! WOO HOO. I have so many great new images to show. I may as well post a quick picture of a recent newborn. I just fell in love with this. I promise to try to update again soon!

Brian and Erin...

Well I'm a little behind on these blog posts but I have to get a preview up for a great couple that I photographed last month. It was a perfect fall day. The girls: The flowers: The groom cracked me up with his funny faces: The guys: Erin looking beautiful: And Brian looking beautiful too ;-) We went to the park so we could take some pictures with the remaining fall leaves. The flowergirl. She was SO darn cute. The rings (notice the heart shadow :-) I think this speaks for itself: Seeing Erin come down the aisle: During the ceremony Erin's Dad sang a song for his daughter and it made me CRY! It made everyone else cry too... THE KISS: LOVED the cake. Erin did too ;-) First dance: Having some fun: Thank you guys for letting me be a part of your day. CONGRATULATIONS!!
