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

Sorry it has been too long since I have posted a blog update.  It’s definitely the busy holiday season!  We kicked off the first weekend of November with a Portraits in the Park mini-marathon!  Nine families over 2 hours — I may have to rethink the timing for the future, as I am not in shape for this!  Here are the first two families – beautiful!!!blogitboard

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!

Little Mr. Z

Sweet Mr. Z came to the studio last week and we had a delightful time.  This little one is quite certain about exactly what he does and does not like – as most 2 year olds do!  Even though I was having a slight lighting mishap, he was a great sport and Mom was so patient!  Thank you so much Evelyn for introducing me to your special little man!  I hope you enjoy your images – thanks for the great time!
