YOUR JOURNEY: GINA CARLIN

Early in my photography career, I was on twitter one day when a fellow photographer asked if anyone wanted to meet up at The Lab to trade faces and do profile photos of one another.

Special lady and now an extra special angel. Thank for taking these pictures of Gina that really show the real true lady!

Gina is one of a kind. I am happy to have her picture looking down at me while I work at my desk and know she is looking down on all of us. God Bless Gina. Amen…

Sorry to hear about Gina. You’re right she is in Heaven now…a much much better place. It was very sweet and thoughtful of you to put a dedication blog post for her. You’re an awesome friend, JJ!

Jen you captured Gina’s spirit and sweetness so perfectly! Gorgeous shots. I know Gina will be greatly missed by all who love her.

I Love these pictures of Gina and would love to frame one for my desk. Would you mind sending me one? I was lucky enough to live nextdoor to Gina in Calif for 7 years

I’ve seen these photos before, I think. If not here, then maybe her site?

A joyful day for her, but sad for those who will miss her. I wish her family comfort in these days.

YOUR JOY: SCHNAIDER

It’s hard to believe that it’s September. (Where did the summer go? Did we really ever have one here in So Cal?) But it’s even harder to believe that I just had my first family shoot for Christmas cards, too! It may seem early, but in actuality, it’s not. Pretty soon, we’ll all get busier...

So I gotta share, a couple weeks ago we felt so cool referring you to someone…”Oh yeah we know someone who does beautiful Boudoir sesssions” Boo-yah-ka. We felt like we knew people ;)
