Triple posts today! Don’t miss the Shutterfly Groupon and Project Life Tuesday below. In January, Ali Edwards posted a link to a post by Melissa on the Freckle Photo Blog about her family’s tradition of making annual photo plates and using them in every day life. Since reading this post, I have been watching for [...]

100-150 FREE Prints From Snapfish

by jessicaturner on October 2, 2010

I am WAY behind on my picture developing. WAY BEHIND. My uploading photos is on my agenda for this weekend. So I was tickled when I learned Snapfish is doing an October promotion for 100 FREE prints for all members with the code OCT10PRNT. (Shipping is less than $6!) PLUS, if you do not have [...]

Challenge: Do a Mini Photo Shoot

by jessicaturner on September 23, 2010

When Elias was a baby, we used to do photo shoots all the time (like this Valentine’s one). As he has gotten older, we have done this less and less. I don’t know why. Probably because he is so active it is harder to get him to cooperate. On Tuesday, I bought a watermelon. As [...]

Another fun photo from Elias’s first year shoot- more coming on Wednesday! My old friend Katie sent me an email that said this: Have you thought about how you are going to do kids photos/family photos if you guys have more kids? I know it’s weird that I even think about these things… but when [...]

I Got It! (Again)

by jessicaturner on April 27, 2009

Well, after renting the Canon f1.4 50 mm lens, I simply could not wait any longer to have a fixed portrait lens. I listened to many of you and in early March was able to use some savings to buy the less expensive Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 Lens and was not disappointed. It takes much [...]

A Cupid Preview

by jessicaturner on February 9, 2009

So I was going to try to keep these a secret until Valentine’s Day, but I am so excited that I can’t. I did a Cupid photo shoot with Elias yesterday using my lens from ZipLens. I bought wings off of eBay and cut a big felt heart for him to hold.  I will share [...]

A Great Lens on a Budget

by jessicaturner on February 7, 2009

If you have been reading my blog for any length of time, you know I like taking pictures with my Canon Rebel XT. At the tender age of six months, Elias already knows what to do when I am holding the camera in his face. Almost since Elias was born, I have been wanting a [...]

A Sunny Day

by jessicaturner on February 5, 2009

Last weekend it was so nice outside. I took Elias out to sit on a chair on our deck so I could take a few pictures of him. My sister has been begging me to post some new ones, so here are a few favorites.________________________________________Subscribe to my blog hereTwitter me – I’m JessicaNTurner
