Jennifer Stocks Photography – The Blog

Well – lucky is what I am!  I am happy as a pig in mud! Why you ask??

I have just finished booking a room for myself (and a photographer friend, Kat) to share while we attend the workshop of the legendary Barb Uil (of Jinky Art fame). Barb is seriously the GURU of children’s photography and I am very inspired by the colour, emotion, fun, and creativity of her work. She is not only well known in Australia – she is known on an international level for her super cool photographs. You might not understand my excitement, but trust me you will if you check out her site www.jinkyart.com.au

So, by some fluke I am going! Yay for me. Now I can’t end this post without a pic, so I am going to find some everyday shots of my boys that make me smile!

Bet you noticed just how beautiful my blog is looking now?? Yep, I have spent most of the night customising it. Now it should do everything that I want it to do, and the colours match and the text is nicer. I’m a fan of more rounded texts – just can’t do the whole ‘times new roman’ thing. It should be phased out….

So, besides my blog looking much tizzier – I have another sneak peek for the Canberrans! Just a few – I still have more to go. I took SO many shots of your charmingly gorgeous children that I am finding it hard to turf any! Also, I posted mega-huge pics in the last sneak peek I put up for you  – but I have now reduced the size so that post looks a lot better and their eyeballs aren’t the size of tennis balls now.

As I said, still more to go though. We are moving house on the weekend. So I will have to motivate myself to do that instead of your photographs unfortunately. So I will have to take a break from proofing photos, and getting my site and biz stuff finalised for a week or so.

Our little boys are so excited about moving house. Little Beau is moving into a big bed, and we went and bought him special quilt covers for his bedroom with really groovy zoo animals all over them! Although Dusty has decided they will be going on his bed instead. Hmm. Not likely.

I will post some pics of our move and our progress! Stay tuned!

Just thought I would add a pic of the magical transformation from image to card! In the last post you can see the cute shots of little Archie, well – here’s the card I am getting printed.

Thought I would post so anyone considering a birth annoucement or card of any sort could get an idea of how the process works, and the final product before printing. It actually will come out beautifully – on an actual card – not a postcard. So, you can write in the middle and say all the lovey dovey thankyou stuff you want to!

I’m sure my sister wouldn’t mind me showing everyone before they even get their cards! Woops. Didn’t think of that. This post may be gone later!

This little cutie pie is my 5 month old nephew, and he makes me SMILE big huge smiles. Just a really quick post to show my sister a few shots from my backyard today. I am getting some beautiful thankyou cards done up for her. So, kt – here are the choices for your thankyou card! Which one would you like? I guess I could have called and asked you, but I get to share Mr A this way!

Yeah, this little girl is way way cute! I took her newborn photos recently.
