Stephanie and Glenn~ the bebe bump!


August 7, 2010 Bellies!



I would kill for hair like Stephanie’s! Long, red, beautiful hair. My son has red hair, but shaves it bald (even before joining the Navy!) Stephanie and Glenn are just as sweet on the inside as they are beautiful on the outside.

Since the know the baby will be a boy, his is already named Trey, which actually stands for “Glenn lll” …three, get it ?? So cute!

I wonder what color hair he will have? hmmmmm..

Love, JP

Lauren and Rick began attending our church (Heritage Christian Church) a few years ago and were married there. Our church is fairly small in comparison to others (a full house is about 300) but it’s a place where everyone gets to know each other and it is truly family. Rick owns an insurance business and is our insurance guy for everyone we own. If you need someone to take care of you, he is your guy with Farmer’s Insurance in Perrysburg.

Here is a sneak peek of the beginning of the new journey in their lives!

Fave of the day! Love this one!

Lauren has THE BEST laugh! Even while we were being attacked by May Flies/June Bugs, she kept smiling (through our shrieks!). She has the best personality!

Our newest assistant, Emily, took these next two images! Way to go Em!

This baby is going to be the luckiest kid in the world with you two as parents! Thanks for making me a part of it all!

Love, JP

bellies and babies


May 12, 2010 Babies, Bellies!, Children



I feel like it has been FOREVER since I have opened up Wordpress! As I listen to my husband and teenage boys wrestle like its WWF in my living room, I’m working in the front office about to get some blogging on!

First, I’d like to show you all a few of my faves from Allison’s second set of belly shots with her family. Allison is taking advantage of our “birth story” documentation package, with 3 sessions and then adding them all in one book for a beautiful story. You first met them back in the winter when we did our first session. This time, with a lil rounder belly and a new house being built, we headed out to Maumee Bay in the field to grab some awesome sunshine warmth and then on to the new construction of the nest they are building. How cool to be able to show new baby these awesome shots as he gets older?!

Greg adores his wife and treats like the true Queen she is!

Sutton already loves his new sibling!

Allison is so beautiful and glowing! I just love how she loves being pregnant. I love pregnant bellies!

can she be any more beautiful??

In the bedroom of their “nest”

I can’t wait to meet lil baby Row very soon!

What do we get someone who has everything? Gift cards! What do you get someone last minute? Gift cards! What does everyone always want but are afraid to ask or register for? Gift cards!

I recently read on a popular wedding website that while it is not acceptable to ask for anything, it is totally acceptable to register for things, as expected, and gift cards are on that list!

Our packages are made up of a very basic line of desires we see come through every year: our time, talent, and a dvd of images. So, that’s what we give. Do we give our images away? No, clients pay for them. It’s in our package price. But, not every client can afford an album (or a BIGGER album) and one way we can help is by offering gift cards.

Friends and family can purchase gift cards through us, just like they would purchase a gift off their registry, and give is as a shower gift or wedding gift. These gift cards may be used towards services or print products.

They may also be purchased as baby gifts, family photo sessions, etc.

What a great way for a bride to be able to get everything she wants from her wedding photography and not another toaster (although, toasted bagels ROCK!)

And, what  great gift for a new mom, a family, grandparents who have everything, an anniversary, or just to celebrate that special birthday or “Just Because”.

Doesn’t this guy look like he could used cheering up with a JPP gift card?? (this image was taken in New Orleans when I was there for a conference in November)

Want to win a gift card for yourself? Leave a comment after this post and your name will go in for a drawing for a $50 GC! If we get 50 comments we’ll give a $100 JPP GC! Tell your friends and family about it and send them to the blog! I’ll post the winner March 1st so check this blog post back and read the comments!

I think we may even make this an ongoing thing, cuz, well, I’m a giver and all… *wink* sooooo… whenever we get 50 comments on the blog on any one post I will choose one comment and that person will win a JPP GC! Value of each card will vary, you never know when it may be $25, $50, $100 or more! So keep the comments coming (only one comment per person per blog post please) Send all your friends and family to the blog to leave comments!

If you’re a bride or groom have your friends and family comment on the blog post of your event! If your event is not posted yet, give me shout and I’ll put it up asap!

If you’ve been a “BLOG STALKER” ~one who visits and lurks but doesn’t leave comments~ here’s your chance to say something nice and get in on the drawing!  :)

I look forward to reading all the comments! leave the B&G some lovin’, tell me what you think of me (only if it’s nice!) or just say “hey!” to let me know you stopped by.

Love, JPP

I love the feeling I get when I walk into a clients home for a  photo shoot and see my work displayed all over! I photographed Sarah & Jason’s UNVEILED session exactly a year ago quickly fell in love with this sweet couple! When Sarah told me of their great news that they were expecting I couldn’t wait for her belly to get nice and round and do belly shots! This is what I saw when I walked into their home…

I usually wait until after the birth to display all the baby story shots, but I wanted to give Sarah a sneak peek of these

Sarah has this natural beauty to her that she is not even aware of, which makes her even more beautiful!

SJ_0024

As breathtaking as she is, she is just as sweet and kind as well on the inside. I think Jason knows this to be true as well.

As we went driving to find another location close to the house, I spotted this field with sunlight perfectly spilling down on it.
