Life has been so wonderful to me this summer.  I have been able to photograph absolutely beautiful weddings of wonderful people, spend time with my two precious bundles of joy, go out on date nights with my hubby and still have time to keep up with my favorite summer t.v. shows.  I did have to let go of my on-line game for a while, but I will head back soon!

In the mean time, I have so much to show you!  Seven weddings and four albums are in the hopper with much more to come!!

Unfortunately, we recieved notice a few months ago that the owners of our rental want to sell.  Good thing for us, a wonderful property in Wilton arrose with 3 acres and a pool!  We are so excited to me moving!!  Of course, when you are in the trenches all you need is one more thing right!  We will be moving this week.

Therefore, I ask my wonderful clients to hold on just a little bit through this transition.  We will be up an running full speed ahead before you know it!

Best wishes,

Jen

These two are getting married October 20, 2007.  They were so much fun to work with, I can't begin to tell you!

The other Photographs

This was a wonderful wedding with a fabulous groom, bride, ceremony, guests...food...just everything was fabulous! They were married August 3, 2007 at the Devine Savior here in Sacramento.  Their reception was at the Lake Natoma Inn in Folsom.

These two are incredibly sweet and so much fun!  They were married at the Monte Verde Inn July 28, 2007. I was fortunate enough to have Robin with me to photograph this beautiful wedding!  Here are just a few my shots:

We are so very lucky to have a new addition to the Pechan Family.  Take a peek at my nephew born last week!

 The rest of the engagement session

I have to admit that I still have not gotten the matte album process down.  It takes me forever.  I spent 40 hours on my first matte album which was 42 pages.  It was horrific but I learned so much.  My second matte album below took me 3 hours to design (I created a fotofusion template so next time...lickety split) 2 hours to order through the lab and will take me about 2 hours of t.v. watching to put together.  My biggest time waster...ordering the photographs.  Unfortunately, the lab (will not mention on the blog) I use for ordering matte album prints has a terrible user interface but the prints are fabulous!!  I use several labs (every photographer has their favorite), but each one is for a different purpose based on the way they print my photographs and my needs at the time.  The time spent is definitely worth it when you see the finished product!

Take a peek at the template for the recent album (fyi the numbers in the lower left are the matt types):
