Motherhood is

blessed.

Tis the season to be merry and bright! We celebrate our very first Christmas in Florida this year. We are missing Oregon a lot this month, but we are  finding our way in spending this special time together and creating new memories and traditions. 78 degrees on December 25th? Some things will take a little longer to get used to;).

Merry Christmas to you all! May God bless you always.

Love,

The Grahams

Jennifer - Love all your Christmas pictures! I’m sure it feels different to have such a warm Christmas. We miss you in Oregon, but you do such an amazing job of blogging and taking pictures I feel connected. Hope 2013 brings you and your family many blessings!

Karissa - I love the lights in the pictures! The kids look adorable for Christmas! Very beautiful! Of course ;)

Baby Milana

This beautiful baby girl was 8 days old when I photographed her. It was an amazing photo shoot and it was so wonderful to hold and be around a newborn again. I feel like we bonded and I think I loved that the most about this morning. More about my first photo shoot here.

Here is baby Milana.

Kay - Amazing photos!

Ebba - Gorgeous!

Alissa - These are so beautiful Jenna!! I love all the little detail shots. Gorgeous work!

Stephanie - Great Session Jenna! I would have never known it was your first newborn shoot. Love all the variety!

Karissa - Wow!!! These are all sooo gorgeous!! I love the close up on her lips! So flipping cute!!

Project 52 | Something New

52:45

Motherhood is

something new.

When I started this blog I wanted it to be a representation of our life, exactly as it is now. But I also wanted to practice my photography skills because I was aspiring to start a business someday. That day has come as I just finished my first real paying gig. It’s funny because even before I actually spent the time to do a whole photo shoot with an actual newborn, I knew I was going to be passionate about it. When it comes to perfeclyt tiny little ears, hands and feet I am overwhelmed with smiles and joy. So much that even to this day (after having two of my own) I still get emotional and and sometimes cry when I see a baby enter in this world. Birth is such a miracle and I can’t identify a more spiritual and beautiful event. I know God has put this emotion and passion that I have for babies on my heart for a reason. I always thought I wanted to be a nurse and work in mother/baby unit or the labor and delivery unit, so that I could be near these sweet babies. I have even toyed with the idea of becoming a teacher, so that I could use my passion for His glory and give some of this love I have back to these babies and children.

And then I got my first DSLR camera. Completely obsessed with taking pictures of my own babies I always knew this would be something I would love to do as a job. I have been patient, honing my skills and attending workshops, so that when I start my business I can put my best work out there. Well the day finally came. I got the opportunity to photograph this precious baby girl, Milana. Isn’t she beautiful!? The photo shoot went very well, and at one point I even felt myself getting emotional during it. This dream of mine is becoming real and how blessed am I that I get to do what I TRUELY love to do. Thank you Aly and Bobby for allowing me to spend the morning with your angel, she is amazing!

This is the beginning of something new and I can’t even really express the amount of joy it brings me.

more pictures coming soon…
