Want to know one of the reasons to follow Jacquelyn Jackson Photography on Facebook? Because sometimes I just might post a giveaway for facebook followers only!!!! I recently did my first facebook promotion and if you follow me here, but not on facebook – then you totally missed out- so head on over and like my page! Remember that week when it rained the whole time and then the weekend was bright and pretty and COOOLLLLD!! I didn’t have ANY sessions booked that weekend and it was so pretty and cold out that I really wanted to photograph some young ones in their most awesome scarves and hats – WINTERWEAR! I gave away a free session including edited images and high resolution disc to the first person who responded that was eligible, and to the second person who responded a free mini session with major discounts on products.
That weekend I ended up photographing a pair of cousins! They were GREAT models and I think we had a lot of fun around Athens.
Here are just a few sneak peeks!

Just wanted to share a little vignette from my kitchen. I think this area is lovely. Of course, its the milk glass stand that makes it. We usually keep a loaf of bread inside. There are still two rooms in our house that we have barely touched. The kitchen is one of them. We haven’t even painted in there! That is our goal for this year – to redo our kitchen. So by mid summer you hopefully wont see mustard walls and laminate countertops anymore! We are planning on marble tile backsplash and a corian countertop. I’ll have to remember to take before and afters!

This is something my husband had in his stocking this year. He is quite the cook so I figured he could incorporate it into some recipes. (which we have yet to do.)
I figured it would be good added with spice cookies, in a vinaigrette of some sort, or glaze for a salmon, maybe some sort of biscotti, you get the idea! I’m sure there are tons of recipes we could find online – but if you have any offhand feel free to share!

After my last post I had some emails and facebook comments about the iPad covers! When you decide to order one you can look through my designs – things like patterns and words CAN be changed. For instance – if there is a date on what you see and you would rather it say a name – I can totally do that! They are a great way to protect your iPad and show off yourself or your family at the same time! We also have the iPhone cases to match or coordinate!

I SO enjoy spending my days with clients and hearing all the different stories that make up their lives – love stories, funny family stories, proposal stories. And being able to create images that they want to share with others gives me such pleasure!
My clients often want to showcase their images to others so I do offer some wonderful showcase pieces. Of course, we have prints of all sizes to be matted and framed, canvas, metal murals, ipad/iphone covers and custom designed albums, books, invitations, and save the dates! Those are the most ordered items, but if there is something specific that is not on our product guide, I can usually have that made also!
There is nothing I love more than to walk into a clients home and see images from our last session adorning their walls!

Whenever I book a portrait session I always get asked “What should I wear?” I always answer that you want to look like yourself, but you want to look like your best self! Portrait sessions are the best time to go out and get your hair/makeup done – if you feel beautiful you exude beauty! You also want to be comfortable in what you are wearing, because then you will more likely feel free to be at ease in front of the camera. It is important to accessorize, accessorize, accessorize! Hats, jewelry, scarves, gloves, layering. All of these things add visual interest to your photos.
I bought myself a new cloche this holiday season and everytime I wear it I look in the mirror and think “This would be PERFECT for a session!” The feathers bring texture AND pops of color. I thought I’d share an image with you – I wore it today and took some shots!
