the prouty family
last year they were clients, this year they are my very good friends. their sweetness and love fill my heart with so much joy.
i love you guys.











okay…. here it goes…. here are some quotes from the blogpost you did of our portraits from last year:
You: “…joy called me to shoot her family. we hit it off instantly on the phone and i couldn’t wait to meet her family. when i finally did i just fell in love with them…. i feel like i’ve made new friends.”
Me: “Jen, you are my new best friend, if you’ll have me.”
I am so honored that I know you, that I have gotten to know your heart this last year, and that you have become a fixture in my life that I am so thankful for. I love your passion to find what you are looking for and that you manage to embrace the journey. i love your thoughtfulness, your selflessness and the fact that you would throw yourself in front of a bus for a friend. i love that you are a mother and that you are real and not afraid to talk about things that are hard. I love your sweet family and the friends of yours that have become your family. I love that you make hard choices with dignity. I love that after not knowing me very long, brought me to-die-for food and things to make my heart happy when i was on bedrest with brandon. i love you and i love these photographs. i will treasure them throughout our lives and it will bring me joy to know it was you who took the photos. you know us… our imperfections, our failures, our struggles and our hearts and you took more than photographs – you really tell our story. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for these BREATHTAKING photos.
****Oh… Donny says to tell you “ditto” what I said on my comment. He loves them too.
I am totally smitten with these pictures. Once again you have blown me away. The use of the gritty settings offset by such a beautiful family is pure genius! xoxo
I love these!
These are amazing pictures Jen!!!! What a darling family.
Jen, these pictures are really beautiful! One of my favorite family sessions I’ve seen.
Wow, truly breathtaking!! Love them all, so classic…
Amazing stuff, what a happy and loving family!!
Beautiful work!!!! Keep doing what you do, this is great
freaking love this family looks like fun! And the couch OMG! u rock!
sarah and eric, somis, ca
blessed. merriment. joy. devotion.
sarah babysat for us for years. it was an honor and joy to capture her and eric’s wedding at hartley botanica. we love her and eric very much.









i love this sweet pic of fox

right before he makes his big move and cuts in



Okay, the first picture should be an album cover so Eric needs to start a band. The one of Sarah dancing by herself is priceless. The look on her face is amazing. I want to get married (again) so I can do this all over!
Well, generally I love shots that are timeless, and could have happened in any time period. While I seen many shots of someone taking a picture, the shot of the iphone is a whole new twist and it is priceless. That is one outstanding job.
Love the album cover comment! It could be called “The Very White Band”. The pictures are incredibly beautiful and can’t decide which is my favorite, though the bridesmaids jumping is so much fun. In the shots of Sarah and Eric, you get the sense that they were really looking forward to that honeymoon. “Get a room” would be an understatement. LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
great images Jen!
luke, 1 year

jen these are magic
you really are amazing!
WOW! I’m speechless… amazing job! Liz and Marty are such an incredibly gorgeous couple! Thanks again for everything Jen. You were a complete delight to work with on this wedding and I can hardly wait to work with you again.
AMAZING!!! Thank you so much Jen! I love all these pics- especially the one of my very nervous groom (I didn’t realize he was as nervous as I was).
Thank you for catching these moments!!! These pics make me smile!
These really captured the joy of that special day. I am looking forward to seeing the album.
LOVE the last pic!!

Speechless for now.. Will find words later….
