Yesterday while playing countless rounds of The Great States game with Louie in the playroom I felt almost in a trance. “Louie can you find the six states that have a cardinal as the state bird? Louie, which state is the Grand Canyon in? Louie, which state’s flower is the red clover?” And then I...
Finally we had our first big snowfall, and I couldn’t be more excited! Yesterday, I had grand plans of taking my downhill skis out to Muncie’s one big hill and tearin’ it up. Okay, not really tearing it up. But at least letting my skis see some action. Why? Well, see, I’m a Michigander. I...
Still truckin’ through Thanksgiving edits. This sweet little dandelion puff was found in front of Mark and Lynne’s old high school. I did mention it was 70 degrees that day right? You can probably just feel the warmth coming out of this photo ;o) And let’s hear it for the b-ville bruins! b-b-bru-i-i-ins b-r-u-i-n-s ((clap...
I have a lot of good memories from Thanksgiving. I also took a lot of pictures since this was the last time Mark will hang out in the home he grew up in. My sister-in-law, Lynne and I spent a good chunk of Friday (which by the way was sunny and 70 degrees in the...
There are times in my life when I would have considered myself a morning person. Like in college. When the best time to get refreshed with time all to myself was walking on the prayer courts before most students were awake. Or in the summers when I lived in a house filled with other girls...
Dear Very Hungry Little Caterpillar, You were the perfect model for our session last night. Best of all you brought sweet smiles to two little boys. Thanks for being there. Spread Your Wings, jayne © j.ro photography | muncie, indiana family and kids lifestyle photographer facebook me
The other day I spotted the first fallen leaf on the ground. I was so orange. So perfect. And it reminded me that soon there will be piles upon piles of leaves covering my lawn. Louie was beyond ecstatic! “The first leaf!! When is fall coming mama? Is fall here? Fall’s almost here! Fall’s almost...
I wrote a comment the other day on a photographer friend’s post: “holy, swirly bokeh!” Seriously, the bokeh (those sweet circles of light) made me dizzy with love. So I set out to capture my own sweet bokeh: {M, 1/1600, f/1.4, ISO 200, 50 mm) It would have been nice to have a cute, blue-eyed...
I’m surprisingly on top of things at this moment. Procrastinating on packing, but on top of all other things. I thought I’d use this procrastinating moment to show you a project I’ve been working on. My family blog book for 2006. Now that it’s in my hands I just can’t stop looking at it. Both...
Today as I was flipping through my iphoto album looking for some photos, I ran across this whole series of pics I took during one of our Quad hang out times. I can’t believe (well, yes, i can) i never touched them. Anyhow, I figure any day is a good day for some sweet Quad...
Today was a day of loves The fact that I was fretting over the 75% chance of rain that was supposed to happen this morning (which I later realized I read the humidity number, not the precipitation number), and I woke up to beautiful sunshine, was, well … just lovely. I rented a lens. What...
I mean really … could the light get any sweeter tonight? I’m even willing to take pictures of my shoes in you … It felt so good to touch grass with my wintered toes spring is on its way … and pigtails make quad light that much sweeter … Oh, sweet Quad light … I’ve...
