Spring Is In the Air!

Spring is the PERFECT time to get the family together and get some pictures taken!

Now, I’m talking about the snow storm that we just experienced, I’m talking about those perfect Spring days that are around 50-60 degrees. The beautiful Spring flowers are just blooming and the trees are all leafed out!

It seems like forever away but honestly, those days are right around the corner – Let’s schedule some time! Your Christmas cards or wall art will be gorgeous and so uplifting with all the beautiful colors!!!

I’m starting to get booked up pretty quickly (June is already CRAZY!!) so put make sure your getting on my schedule sooner rather then later!!

5 Reasons Why You Should Choose Me For Your Next Session

Do you ever wonder how to choose a Photographer? There are so many different types, styles, and packages out there! Why should you choose JPalin Photography to capture your moments?

  1. I’m Fun! – Not to toot my own horn here but I’m kind of a blast 🙂 I will do just about anything to get a smile out of even the most stubborn model 😉 Along with me doing outrageous things to get a smile, my photos have that fun personality as well! I do like to give the standard poses but I like to have candid photos, walking, and fun activities to show your true personalities!
  2. “Fake” Photos – Since I try almost everything for the genuine smile, I don’t feel the need to super impose faces from other pictures together in order to get that “perfect” photo. I do color grade and crop to give the photos personality though!
  3. Your Photos are Your Photos! – What I mean by this is you’ll get just about every click I take. I do remove duplicate photos and photos that might not be great (blurry, someone is missing, etc.) but I try to give you everything I capture. The reason for this is some of those off hand shots are the best!
  4. Quickness – I try to have at the very least a highlight out to you within 24 hours – Trust me when I say I understand the anticipation of getting those lovely photos back! The rest of the photos (depending on the package) I can usually turn around within 1-3 weeks. I do enjoy looking over each photo and making sure it is the best quality for you!
  5. A Special Gift – I don’t normally advertise this, but I send a special gift once I’m done with your session 🙂 I’m a huge advocate of printing your photos and displaying them, so I’ll let you guess the gift I give!

All in all, I think we’ll have a pretty great time with any session you book with me! I love capturing these moments and giving you special memories for years to come! If you have any questions or want to inquire about a session – Just send me a message and we can chat 🙂

Mini Session or Regular Session??

You may ask what is the difference between a Mini Session and a Regular Session. Well you’re in luck today! Let’s walk through the differences between the two so you can make the best choice in capturing your moments!

Mini Sessions

Mini sessions are a themed photo session that is shorter in length and are usually around 20 mins with a limited number of photographs (5-10). I choose the location and provide a set with props for the mini sessions. These sessions are only once (maybe twice….) a month and have limited spots available.

Regular Sessions

The regular sessions are typically around 60-120 minutes, depending on the type of session. The location is typically chosen by you and if you have a special place, but if there isn’t a place you have in mind, I can help! In my typical sessions, you’ll receive 100-200 pictures in black and white and color graded, all on a flash drive with a print release for you to use the photographs as you need.

It’s always a good idea to follow my Facebook or Instagram page for updates on upcoming mini sessions and availability for regular sessions!

Spring is Here!

Spring is one of my favorite times of the year — You know, the middle to end of spring where everything is lush, blooming, and just brisk enough to need a light sweater… Ya that spring 🙂

I have been enjoying capturing the fantastic spring flowers with the light dusting of rain! Honestly though, Spring is one of the best times to do portraits for all the reasons I listed above. The lush green foliage and beautifully vibrant colors of all the blooms! You for sure want these moments captured!

I took a break from the mini sessions this past month in order to capture all the fantastic moments! If you want to cherish some fantastic family memories with fantastic bold colors – Right now is the time to schedule! Imagine sending out your Christmas cards with beautiful, fun, happy photos 🙂
