Reflection in the new year...

January is typically a slower month for me and it's nice to have a break after the crazy spring/summer/fall portrait season and the hoopla of the holidays.  I recently came across a photography contest where the prompt word was SELF.  I do not typically enter contests (mostly due to lack of time :) but this prompt stimulated me to give some thought to the word...  I came up with my thoughts on SELF and put together a quick collage on what it means to me.

Happy New Year!


Phew!  The craziness of the holidays is finally subsiding.  The new year always brings a fresh feeling for me, a time to re-group, look back on last year and plan for the next.  2011 was the busiest ever for JHS Photography.  Dozens of new clients, branching out to more commercial work and happily seeing some familiar faces as clients came back for their 3rd, 4th - even 7th session!  

So far, 2012 promises more of the same.  I am already booking baby sessions for late winter, family portraits in the spring and senior portraits this summer!  On a personal note, my youngest will be graduationg from high school this spring.  Yikes!  Where does the time go.  We have a multitude of events coming up - starting with the Springfield Colleen Contest last weekend.  Meg did not make it to the next round, but we couldn't have been prouder of her poise and presence last Saturday.  All of the contestants were amazing - I definitely do not envy those judges!


22 contestants - 5 from East Longmeadow!
That's all for now - along with planning comes new ideas (learned a new collage technique today - so FAST and EASY!) and a renewed commitment to maintaining my website and blog!  Stay tuned.....
