Between the Pixels bio picture
  • Welcome!

    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

Holiday Card designs

Just a reposting of the Holiday Card designs for this year!  Many people have still not firmed up their holiday photo sessions – make sure you do not miss out.  If you would like to purchase holiday cards with your session, you must book a session for no later than November 22.  If you want prints or other products for holiday gift giving, the deadline to order is December 7.  Anything after that *may* or may not be accommodated, depending on our schedules, and a rush fee will apply.  Get it done and out of the way early – contact me today!

The Huyetts

The Huyett Family is always a joy to photograph and this time was fun as always.  The kids are growing so fast!  The best part was a little unexpected gift at the end – (wink wink Matt & Shannon).  These moments are the best part of my job!
