About Jenny

Moira, as a rockin’ makeup artist…

Photos by Nick, a photographer she works with often.

Back to the work!

It’s been a nice long weekend, but today is back to business.  Hoping that Moira and I will hit the gym tonight as well.  She had a photo shoot on Sunday immediately on the heels of returning from Johnson City.  Here are two of the photos that I liked the best:

Next weekend, in an effort [...]

Photographs

A slow weekend, but we headed to the park today to take some photographs.  (I locked my keys in the car, ha ha, and then we took pictures while we waited about for someone to come and open our car.)

Marc sat on the cold metal bench and froze while I took pictures.  Brrr!  Brrrr!

The sun [...]

Moon

This is my first attempt at photographing the moon.  My guess is that I need a filter, or a cloudy night, or maybe a not-full moon, in order to improve this.

Photography projects

I’ve got a whole slew of photography projects I’d like to begin.  I’m enjoying seeing what my camera can do, what post-processing can do.

Body Art

We headed up the Blue Ridge Parkway again this weekend, but with one big difference:  I didn’t get my camera batteries charged before we left!  As a consequence, I only managed to snap a few photos before running out of juice.  Here they are:

The sky is a bit blow out in this one, [...]

A walk in the woods…

Marc and I went walking in along Deep Creek, outside of Bryson City, NC.  Our goal was to successfully shoot a water fall, complete with running, slightly blurry water.  I think I mostly succeeded!

Okay, so this is rushing water in Deep Creek.  We also saw a little bit of fall color, way up high in [...]

Moira’s first body art show

Moira was asked (by her future mother-in-law) to participate in a body art show in Johnson City, TN this past Friday.  She was very excited!  She brought her own model (the lovely Grace, with whom she has worked before), bought two expensive MAC Chromacakes, and began practicing!  The show was organized by Ren, Patti and [...]

Autumn is here!

Autumn is officially here – by more than a week!  With the chilly weather comes the changing of the leaves – but the leaves have in fact not changed all that much as yet.  It’s chilly enough to need an extra blanket on the bed, and the cat enjoys napping on my lap when I [...]
