I hate having my picture taken.  I’d much rather be behind the camera!  I don’t think I’m very photogenic at all…. but, I figured that maybe, someone… someday, might like to have some pictures of me.  So this is my first try at getting a decent self portrait.  I just took this picture in my bathroom! LOL  I thought I would share….. I apologize in advance if it breaks your monitor!

I thought I would share a few photos of my booth from the “All About Kids” show at Opry Mills in Nashville.  Nashville Parent magazine hosted this event and it was great!  I met a lot of awesome people and had a really good time!  My assistant, Amy, was on hand with Lamb Chop to entertain the kids.  We also had chocolate cameras!  It was fun and I can’t wait to do another show!

My banner was too long…

The chocolate cameras…. not the greatest picture though!

Amy and Lamb Chop!

Big news…. I now have a studio location!!  It is not open yet, I still have a few things to do before it opens.  BUT when it does, I will be having a Grand Opening Studio Special!  Stay tuned for that, plus some “Grand Opening” contests! 

 Here’s one of my favorite shots of Miss E from a couple of weeks ago…

I am excited about some new 20×20 (or 10×10) collages that I have to offer my clients now!  They are the “defined collages”…. here’s an example of one I made as a sample for the show I’m doing on Saturday….

There are several different words and definitions to choose from and different photo layouts for the collages.  I just love them!! 

Also, I wanted to mention the show I’m doing tomorrow (Saturday)…. Nashville Parent magazine is doing an “All About Kids” show at Opry Mills Mall in Nashville and I will be there!  My assistant and I will have a table set up with all kinds of sample prints and canvases (including the “defined collage” above).  We’ll be giving out treats (chocolate cameras!) and we’re having a drawing to win a FREE session fee plus a FREE 10×10 “defined collage” from your session!  There are also TONS of door prizes that will be given away by all the vendors at the show (me included…. a free session fee plus a free 16×20 mounted print).  ALSO, if you book a session with me at the show tomorrow, you will also receive a free 16×20 mounted print from your session!  This offer is only good during the show…. 10am -3pm tomorrow (Saturday, Nov 17) at Opry Mills Mall in Nashville!  I hope to see you there!

Next week…. I will be announcing something very new and exciting for Shauna Jared Photography!

I bought some peppers the other day and last night, I decided to try some food photography again.  I’m really liking it!  I just need more practice with it…. now, I’m off to make a pot of chili and these bad boys are going in it!

Here are a couple of shots from a session I had awhile back with Mr. A.  He was very energetic and a lot of fun! :)

….and everything nice, that’s what little girls are made of!  I had the pleasure of photographing these two little cuties this morning, so I just have to share a couple….

First, here’s Miss A in her green chair…

And here’s her sister, Miss E, with those blue eyes of hers….

That’s all for now…. I’m off to edit some more photos!
