Hey all…I have a friend with an amazing hair bow business she created to help raise funds for their own international adoption.  She has an amazing heart and has now turned it into a business to help orphans all over the world.  We are hoping to work together in the near future so you will start seeing her bows show up in some of my portrait work.  She is very talented and so giving!!!  Go to her blog, leave a comment, and get signed up to win your own hair bow!!  You will be blessed in the process!!  http://www.sugarplumboutique.blogspot.com/

This old door knob is hidden away in our little town, long forgotten and neglected.  I’m not even sure it works anymore.  It belongs to the door of a run-down building, good only for storage of “stuff” no one uses anymore.  If door knobs could talk, I wonder what stories this one would have. 

These pictures are from several weeks ago when we went to visit the zoo on a warm day!  Just snaps but fun nonetheless!

Enjoy!

It’s a brand new look for Brooke Jantz Photography!  I’ve wanted to go the blogsite route for a while and am hoping you will love it as much as I think I do!!!  Everything about Brooke Jantz Photography can be found right here.  Leave a comment and tell me what you think.  And come back often for all the news, events, and…my babbling!!

What better way to kick off the new site than with a fun couple all ready to tie the knot on July 4th! I had fun working with Stachia and Phillip on Saturday…I’ve known Stachia nearly all my life so I’m thrilled to be covering their wedding this summer.  We were still having rain showers that morning so we weren’t sure we’d get to do any outside, but the evening turned out beautifully, albeit chilly!  Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!!!

Well…the changes are coming! Just slower than I thought! A couple of more days and hopefully I’ll be ready to unveil it all!!!

For now…I had so much fun working with Stachia and Phillip on Saturday. I’ll be covering their wedding this summer…so we took some time to get some amazing engagement shots! I’ve known Stachia as far back as I can remember. We all used to walk to school together and her brother was in my class. Once, her brother and I were having a rock-throwing contest and I guess I won when my rock landed on Stachia’s forehead and sliced it open! That’s the only time I remember having to go to the principal’s office! I’m still feeling bad about that one!!!

At any rate…I can’t wait for the wedding. Enjoy your sneak peek!!

Woohoo! Be on the lookout for some changes around here!!! I’m not sure on the timeline but the blog and website are going to be updated SOON! I can’t wait!!! I went with this blog a year ago hoping to be able to upgrade if my business plan worked out. Things are moving steadily along, and I’ve found the upgrades I wanted! SO…the blog will be more gorgeous than ever…soon!

For now…enjoy this shot of a barn taken somewhere in central Kansas. Travis could probably tell you where we were. I have no idea!

I snapped these while we were at the Arboretum last weekend. I can’t believe I have neglected my blog all week! I have been busy…just not with sessions. The editing, putting up galleries, sending off orders, packaging orders, contacting clients, scheduling for the coming months all take time too. Sometimes, I just have to step away from the computer and get things done. Plus, last week was crazy for us…Travis had a scope on his esophagus (everything is fine!), we had company one night, the kids’ activities, and Easter break made for not much time for my work. I’m not complaining though…just trying to excuse myself from not blogging all of last week. I hope you had a blessed Easter!

Enjoy!!

I met up with the S family at the Arboretum in Overland Park Sunday morning…before the snow hit! We started out at 8:30 with a cool 45 degrees and a bit of a breeze. By the time we left it was raining, 10 degrees cooler, and snow on the way! But we had some fun anyway. The girls were adorable, loving sisters and mom, dad, and I caught up on old friends. I was in KC for a workshop so we worked out this session for the same trip. I’d love to hit up the Arboretum this summer when it is in full bloom! It’s gorgeous already…but can only imagine how beautiful it is at it’s peak.

Thanks for being such troopers through the weather, guys! Enjoy your sneak peek and I’ll have your gallery ready soon!!

We pulled out the baby chicks again yesterday for Mr. N’s session. He thought they were pretty cute! And, just to set the record straight…they are NOT real! I have had so many people comment they thought they were real!!! They are very cute and life-like…but I don’t need any chickens on the farm. My two dogs probably wouldn’t let them enjoy the farm very long at all! At any rate, I am offering my Easter mini’s through next week if you haven’t made an appointment and can’t resist these chicks! Have a great weekend!
