    If you have landed here...bless your soul.  Welcome to our little tiny corner of the cyber world, based out of Cincinnati, Ohio. Below you will see favorites from our sessions we do professionally, and also loads of personal nonsense that we hope at least will entertain you.  If nothing less, you can keep up on our adorable children.  Really, they are worth the trip back here time and time again in and of itself.

    My name is Jess.  My hubby is Brett.  We are crazy about each other, our 4 babies, and our art.  Welcome to our world.

updated travel dates

Hello there! Sorry it has been over a week since my last post.  We are busy (or perhaps I should say, I AM BUSY) getting things in order for the new school year.  Since we home school, we are collecting books, making up daily and weekly schedules, and figuring out what exactly we will be doing this year to improve on our last.  One thing we are looking forward to is our family vacation out west this October.  We are going to have a great time exploring and learning around the state on New Mexico together!

And that brings me to you….

We are traveling to Chicago, NYC, and New Mexico this fall, and we currently have room for one session in New Mexico, and NYC. Here are our travel dates:

New York City: September 3-6 (Labor Day weekend)

New Mexico (Albuquerque, Taos, and Santa Fe): October 5-13

Please email me at info@studio3z.com if you would be interested in a photography session!

And I leave you with this little photo I shot while on a shoot last month….I looked over to my side and saw this beauty.  We were completely DEEP in a industrial junk yard, and I just thought, “How beautiful.”

Rachel - Y’all must be going to the Balloon Fiesta! My husband and I went a few years ago and what an awesome sight that was! I hope that y’all will get up really early for the mass ascention! And I can’t wait to see y’alls photos!

We stayed the night in an earthship in Taos. The one called “Angel’s Nest” is a really astoundingly big and beautiful one. There is a community of them a little past the bridge over the Rio Grande Gorge.

Oh, I am so excited for y’all to get to take a trip like that as a family! I literally wanted to move to NM after that trip. It is such a gorgeous land and the light is fab for photography.

announcement!

We are a little stunned over here, but it was like SLAM BAM, we looked at our schedule and it was COMPLETELY full.  The only room we will have for the rest of the year is for our 2011 wedding couples who need to have engagement sessions in 2010. :)

We have started our 2011 wait list, so if you would like to be notified FIRST about our session openings in 2011, please email me at info@studio3z.com to be placed on it.

Thanks so much to clients old and new….we can’t wait for all the amazing sessions ahead this year. :)

jaye - Congratulations… I hope you don’t overwork yourselves though. I know what it is like to work 18 hours a day – I used to run my own photo business, until the end of last year.

Jen - I’m really not surprised by this :) You have cute feet.

Tina - I was wondering where you found the sunflower field that I saw a while ago on the blog. It was an awesome shoot and idea for one.

studio3z hits the road!

A while back we mentioned that we may be doing some traveling in 2010 to a few different parts of the US of A. We are happy to announce we have the dates set for our trip to Los Angeles, California in mid-June!!  We have availability for sessions June 13-15.   We also have plans in the works for a trip to New York City, and Albuquerque, New Mexico!

Here are tentative plans for photography session dates:

Los Angeles: June 13-15

NYC: September 3-6

Albuquerque: Mid-October

(WOW, I think that is the most I have ever had to write the word Albuquerque in my life.)

If you are near these areas and are interested in booking a photography session with us, please email me at info@studio3z.com to discuss!

We can’t wait to explore, meet and photograph new people! :)

AmyPunky Photography - Great!!! But when are coming to France?!!!!!! :D

Kentucky Bride Magazine {feature}

There is something so wonderful about getting a fresh, crisp magazine in the mail addressed to you, but there’s even more excitement knowing your artwork is showcased within those freshly printed pages.

Brett and I were so pleased to receive our issue of Kentucky Bride Magazine, and see the beautiful feature of Jenny and Dan’s wedding!!  It was such a beautiful wedding of two very precious people.  Here’s what the Spring 2010 issue looks like:

Beautiful full page spread!

Jenny sent in a fantastic write-up about the two of them.

After looking at our feature I went through the rest of the magazine and when I went to the table of contents I found another great photo of Jen!  A bonus surprise!

A special thanks to Kentucky Bride!  And if you are in Kentucky or downtown Cincinnati and pass by a news stand, pick up a copy and check it out for yourself. :)
