Every time I finish a family session, I think to myself: How lucky am I to be invited into people's homes and lives to capture the magic that happens in everyday life! Welcome to the Studio JE Blog - Between the Pixels - where you'll find out a little bit about me, my work, and my life. Sneak peeks will be posted from my latest sessions and you also see plenty of my two kids and our family adventures. Pour yourself a cup of your favorite beverage and stay awhile! Make sure to bookmark this page or subscribe for updates, and leave me comments if it strikes your fancy. Thank you for spending a little part of your day with me. Cheers! ~Joy

This little sweetheart will capture your heart if you don’t watch out! I have the privilege of being related to him as well :) This is my husband’s cousin’s son (yeah, I think that makes us 2nd cousins or something like that). Still pretty new to the world but already charming his way through life. We had a little mini-session on New Year’s Day, in between bites of my mother-in-law’s FABULOUS cioppino. Cute babies and good food — it was a good way to start off the new year!
To my dear cousin Jason - I know you’ve already had more than your fair share of challenges in life, but I know that Jude is a blessing and a reward for all your efforts. Rachel - I can already tell that you are going to be an awesome mother. This baby is lucky to have both of you for parents! I hope you enjoy your photos.
We’re back from vacation and done getting caught up on holiday orders! Thanks so much for your patience during this time.
It turns out that I did not even log in to the computer during our whole week at sea, so I did not blog our trip as I had intended. Here are some pictures from our vacation: www.studio-je.com/vacation.
For Studio JE, we start off the new year with a new look! You’ll notice our main splash page at http://www.studio-je.com has a new look, and our website has been revamped at www.studio-je.com/main.html. The new site offers client proofing galleries, so after your next session, you’ll be able to come online, view your proofs and place your order directly through the proofing gallery! No more jotting down proof #s and sizes.
I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday and my best wishes go out to everyone for peace, prosperity and happiness in the new year. Blessings to you all ~ Joy
Studio JE is officially closed for the holidays! I actually have a little project I’m working on for the website but no more sessions till January! The bags are packed, the batteries are charged… look out Caribbean, here we come! Make sure to come back often over the next 2 weeks as I’ll be trying to update a quick trip report daily with a few pictures from our adventures! Ciao!
Yep, it’s another one of those multi-generational sessions again! It seems to be my most requested session! Here are FOUR generations of one family. How sweet is that! The newest addition is just a month old — adorable and snuggly and cute as a button. This little guy’s facial expressions crack me up! I’ll let you all figure out who he looks more like!
In the meantime, Kelley - thanks for inviting me over to invade your Thanksgiving and meet the family. It was a pleasure to photograph the legacy of your family. Enjoy!
Well, now that Christmas portrait season is wrapping up, it’s time to dive into Senior Sessions! Here is my first senior session of the season - Mikala. She is beautiful, athletic and all things wonderful, and I am so excited for all things that lay ahead in her future. Mikala - best of luck to you in the rest of your senior year! I hope you have an awesome time!
I am SO excited to present to you the Madden Family! John is a dear friend of mine from high school and we managed to stay in touch through the years. I was so pleased to finally meet his wife and baby daughter in person! John and Noelle - thank you for a lovely afternoon at the park with Izzy. I hope you enjoy these shots of your beautiful family!
This sweet family was so easygoing and easy to work with. No need to coax out those smiles! We met for a quick afternoon session at a beautiful park in Folsom. This is going to be one of my favorite spots to shoot at! Here is a quick preview of some shots “on the wall” and the rest of the slideshow is below. Stacey - your kids are adorable! I hope you enjoy your proofs.
Well, here is one ROCKIN’ senior! Mikala was a refreshing change of pace from the large family holiday sessions I’ve been doing lately. We met on a drizzly Saturday morning at McKinley Park. She is just gorgeous so even though it was overcast and gray, she lights up the entire picture with personality!
Mikala, I hope you were able to finish all your college entrance essays and I am sending you lots of good luck vibes so that you get your school of choice. Here are a couple of sneak previews for you — I’ll have the rest of the proofs to you as soon as I can!
Okay, skipping the gym 3 weeks before you head on a Caribbean cruise isn’t good… BUT I did get a chance to finish this long overdue proof slideshow! Tiffanie, congratulations on your newly expanded family, and enjoy your proofs. I hope they were worth the wait!
Well, it is definitely the middle of the holiday portrait season! I have had 2 sessions so far this week and am due for a 3rd on Saturday. Normally, I try to limit myself to no more than 3 a month! Needless to say, my eyeballs are bugging out from staring at the computer screen and I dream in Photoshop
Anyway, I will spare you the photos of the kids from Halloween. It’s been half a month already so it’s a bit outdated. Instead, I present you with the slideshow from earlier this month. These two adorable brothers make me laugh every time I look at these images. They are so loving and so happy, how can you not smile?
