Two Brewtons, One Shoot!

Well, I must say that the Brewton's have two good lookin' children!!!!!!!!! Both are just gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tyler is a senior this year, and I was summoned by his mother to do his senior pictures, and she wanted to add a little Jaicee in there too.....seeing that she is a BEAUTIFUL beauty queen!!!! Jaicee needed some head shots for an upcoming pageant, so we killed two birds with one stone!!!! We actually took all kinds of wild ones, but I kept the sneak peak kind of normal so Jaicee could decide what she liked and didn't like without the whole world looking at the crazy ones!!

Out in the deep fields of Screven Georgia..........we had a fun time as I enjoyed talking with all the Brewtons....and I even met NANA! ;-)!!! They are all so nice. I just love Screven people......and I am partial to a few ya know!!!!!!! My Screven sister Heather and I go way back.........way way way way back to early Screven days.............four wheelers on nine run road......had to add that in there HEATHER! Ticket in the Mail! :-)! It's my blog, sometimes I get off of topic, but Heather reads every word. Heck, she might be the only one reading this for all I know!!! Nobody has been responding to my blogs recently!!! Should I just be writing to just you Heather?!? Tell Dennis I'll write to him to if he gets upset, I know he's a fan.

Back to the Brewton's........they have a lovely farm, and I was amazed at all of the large and in charge farming equipment.......and Tyler was partial to the John Deer Theme....so he's a real farmer, it's believable......he said something funny like, "tobacco farming is the heart of the south"....something like that, it made me laugh!!...........and poor Jaicee was ancy to get off to a dance, hope I didn't keep you too long!!! But lastly, I would like to mention their Mama, Mrs. Angie Brewton.....................she is SO NICE, have you ever met somebody and you just felt like you've known them your whole life? That's how Angie Brewton is.....explains why her kids turned out so great!! :-)! Ok, well I guess this is enough.........I had so much fun, hope everybody loves the sneak peak, and I hope to do more Screven shoots!!!!!

Jordi, Jordi, Jordi!!!!

Well, here we go!!! My pregnant brain is really throwing me for a loop here!!!!! I posted Jordi's sneak peak, but for some reason forgot to write about our shoot! Somebody hellllllp me, I'm going crazy! ;-)!!!!

Anyway, this past week I got the chance to photograph the beautiful, the sweet, the little miss JORDI BOYETTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And boy did she do so good!! :-)! Jordi is a senior this year and happens to be the girlfriend of my lovely assistant Mr. Jake Ray Phillips. Jordi is also a very avid Jenny Thomas Photography fan!!! She has been known for describing my shoots as "wicked awesome", so when it came to doing her own senior photo shoot, I knew we had to make it "wicked awesome" for her ! :-)! She fretted and fretted over the fact that she didn't have a "theme", but you don't have to have a theeeeeeeeeeme when you're gorgeous and look like Barbie, OK??!

She and Jake dressed up as Hobo's for the Senior Homecoming extravaganza thing they had in the gym for boys homecoming court................but Hobo wouldn't be a good theme for this.........and then Jordi's a Varsity Cheerleader........but she didn't want to use that.......so we concluded, NO THEME!!! Just sheer beauty!! :-)!

I would like to thank Miss Nicole Sharer for coming along and helping Jordi with outfit changes, suggestions, and laughs........Nicole is an experienced Jenny Thomas Photography model........she really knows what looks good, and I was so glad she came! She's going to UGA, might I add.......I know she's so excited! :-)! And I would like to throw out a shout out to the guy at the upholstery shop who lent us the tape we needed......you go boy!! :-)! (strangely enough, that isn't the first time that guy has helped me with something.......heck, he practically lined up the location for my prom shoot for me!!!) Long story...........Don't even know his name, but I appreciate him! ;-)!!

Anyway, I thought Jordi's shots by the car turned out to be really classy and I can't wait to design her grad invites!!!!!!!!!!!!! If there is anybody else out there who is thinking "hey I would like Jenny to design a graduation invitation for me"................well, sadly, the cutoff was with Tyler Brewton and we're out of time!!! Maybe next year! (wait, that's only for those who flunk I guess)!!!! I've had several calls.......just wanted to clear that up! The ones that I've done have been super cool though!! Maybe you'll get one in the mail from somebody!! Buy them something nice for having such a cool grad card, OK??!! :-)!

OK, I'm out! :-)!

Swanson Kids Rock Out!

Hello Everyone!!

Yes, I'm running a little late on sneak peaks as I usually have them the NIGHT OF the photography.................we know my problem!!! It's a good problem though!! ANYWAY, I did this shoot with the Swanson children less than a week ago and we had a glorious time.

Mom, Joanie, REALLY makes having and handling three kids look EASY!!!!! I just loved how both she and her husband were so calm through all of the dirt and wildness!!! Pooooooooooooooooor little Abby though, she didn't want to have her picture made at all, but the boys sure weren't the least bit shy in front of the camera (as you can tell!!!) She just didn't want to leave her mama!! I know how it is. I'm 26 and still don't want to leave mine, ask her! haha

Had lots of fun and can't wait for you to see them all!!

Erica Rocks the Camera & I have some news!!!

Well, well, well...............................Spring break has been so good to me, and I hope it's been good for Erica too, because it's her LAST ONE during her high school career!!!!!!! That's right! Erica is graduating in a short twenty something days, and then off she goes to school to pursue her dream of being a dental hygienist!! GO ERICA GO!

She looks like a dental hygienist too, doesn't she? I knew she was about to say it. She has the classic beautiful skin, beautiful teeth, sweet demeanor, and I know the eyes have nothing whatsoever to do with being a dental hygienist..........but her eyes are GORGEOUS too!!!!!!!!! (couldn't leave those out!) I think she'll be a great one! No Nancy, I'll keep coming to you.........I can't desert you after 26 years of being my personal FAV hygienist. Gosh I get off of topic! Sorry Mrs. Eckle!

Since Erica looks like a hygienist, Do I look like a photographer????????? Um, probably not. My wild fru fru's that pop out scream.........MAMA!!!!!!!!!! (being a Mom is my favorite and most important job, and if you haven't heard my news yet.......you stalkeratzi you.............I guess I'll go ahead and announce it here, I'm going to be a MAMA again! :-)!!! My flu turned out to be a little bit more than the flu. I think that's why I was having a horrible time with it!! So I guess it's official. Now my readers can understand why I've tried to SLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW down a little bit and haven't been as fast as my usual self. Pregnancy and Jenny Thomas do not go hand in hand as I am the morning/day/night sickness queen. Little Baby "T" (as we are referring to our nameless baby) will be here around the first of December. My hubby and I are so excited, as is our little Neely! Who will do your Christmas cards this year?? Man, I'll sure be fat in my Christmas card. OH WELL!

Back to Erica..................who was just so sweet, and even gave my belly the first official "pat".........:-), she did so so so so so so good...........and her boyfriend Patrick.........I would like to give him a shout out, and say THANKS for moving the random junk in our way!! Patrick was a SWEET HEART......................they were both sweethearts, I'm glad they found each other and I'm so glad that I got to meet them both!!! :-)! I have made so many new friends since starting my photog bus. LOVE IT!

OK, I'll leave on that one....Had fun!

Chelsea Rogers That

Well, well, well. Another fun photo shoot, and this time.........a gal guitar player! I LOVE IT!!! Miss Chelsea Rogers is a SENIOR this year, and is STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL........she would make a great model, and is very photogenic at that.......she did so good! Wait, has she done this before??? She is a senior for the next 30 days, and really into that drum line. Let's just say......Chelsea is one musical kind of gal!!!! You can check out her sneak peak under my sneak peak section........but not for long!!! I have several shoots coming up this week, so I'll have to move her to the senior section before I can turn around.

Did we look like this when we were seniors??? I mean,....I photograph all of these seniors who are just so good lookin', with such beautiful skin, hair, eyes, etc......time has flown by, and I can't remember looking like these kids. Wait.......hair straighteners didn't exist back then............so everybody had wild hair. No, we didn't look like these kids.

We had one wild happening during the shoot, where somebody rolled by and hollered "Is she dead!?!?". (She was on the ground for a segment)....it was really something. Something crazy always happens, EVERY TIME. I don't believe I've ever completed a senior photo shoot without something crazy happening!!!

Anyway, back to Chelsea.............we had a great time, and I really appreciated Miss Caitlin Vickers along with her friend, Will, for coming along..........and help with dragging that crazy chair around!! :-)! Y'all were so much fun, and I wish Chelsae the best of luck at college!!! You go girl!!

Had fun!

Elizabeth Morris.......ROCKS IT!!!

Hi Everybody..........

See, I told you I would add another post today!! Aren't I on the ball?!?? I'm a day behind in posting sneak peaks though...so "fa-give" me on that one!!!!! I just finished a new sneak peak for Miss Elizabeth Morris, SENIOR 2009 who I photographed yesterday! After having the flu and just a plain wacko week....Elizabeth let me unleash a little of my inner artist on her!! This girl has it all!! Looks, personality, and smarts........she's going to be an ENGINEER people!!!!!!! Go girl go!!!! I love when seniors show up and tell me that I can do whatever I want, that it's OK with their mom!!!! Music to my ears!

We had a great time and had several visitors during the shoot........these kids really know how to spot a Jenny Thomas Photo shoot from a mile away. It's very common for my clients to receive visitors during the shoot. Hey, I'm OK if you're OK!!!........and I met a few students who said that I would soon be photographing them for Prom, so that's something that's coming up pretty quickly! Besides that I would like to thank Miss Hallie Graham for attending the shoot with Elizabeth and being her laugh support!!! You go girl!!

As always had a good time......and HOPEFULLY I will be posting Miss Chelsea Rogers' shoot tomorrow or sometime over the weekend....we had a lovely shoot today as well!!!

Alright, I'm out!

Michael Surfin' his way out of WCHS

Hello Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm back.......still feeling a little under the weather, but making a nice recovery....thank you for all of the emails!!! Yesterday I had a chance to photograph Mr. Michael Burch and his lovely sister Julianne Burch at their home.........and we had a wild time, AS ALWAYS!!! You can check out their sneak peak under my sneak peak section.........but not for long, so check it out while you can, as I have SEVERAL shoots over the weekend and next week!!

Michael is an avid surfer and a senior this year at WCHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is a very humorous fellow who loves riding four wheelers and wearing his Georgia boots all around the country club. He was up for anything! I would like to thank his lovely mother Julia for the assistance and ideas relating to any props used, and I would also like to thank his father, Mr. Mike Burch for letting us interrupt his jog to tie a tie!!.........and lastly, thank you to my LOVELY assistant Mr. Jake Phillips who carried my supplies and changed my lenses like a pro himself. Jake, can you be any more awesomer??? By the way, when Jake leaves me after graduation this year, he and Michael will be rooming together. PARTY ON BOYS!!! :-)! I believe Jordan Given will be in on that too.........yes, I know, I need to add Jordan's senior pics to the senior gallery!! TIME! I NEED MORE TIME! :-)!

On a more serious note: From today until after June 10th, I will not be accepting anymore weekday photo shoots, only weekend shoots will be available. Due to high-demand, and my inability to say NO most of the time.......I will be allowing a certain number of bookings to cut down on stress........I like QUALITY, not QUANTITY you see....I don't want to turn into one of "THOSE" photographers....so I'm going to slow it down a bit and remain in love with my work! Hey, what can you expect? I'm just a one woman show.....no help, except for Jake carrying my stuff which I dang sure appeciate!!!

Alright, it was a good one........I will be posting Miss Elizabeth Morris' shots ASAP.......I would say some of hers are my all time fav's...so get ready!! She is a beautiful girl.....and SENIOR!! :-)!

Until next time (should be tomorrow!!)

Calling all ENGAGED COUPLES!

Well, after cancelling BOTH photo shoots this weekend because of my FLU bug, (which trust me, bothered me from one end to another, because I am not a cancelling kind of gal)I had a little time to sit back and analyze my website from one end to another, and I just realized that I haven't shot an engagement session in a long time!!! It's been senior after senior for a while now, because it's that senior "season" I tell ya, and it has been SO MUCH FUN!! I just LOVE photographing seniors!! They are up for anything!!

BUT, I found myself asking: Where are the engaged couples??!?! Are they scared of my locations?!??! Do they think I'll bite??!? Are the guys just not feeling the vibe to drop down on one knee and pop the big question!??!?! I do have one fine engagement shoot coming up in a a short time for the fine Ms. Amy Hill, but besides that........it's time.

So, I feel like giving something away like my girl Mrs. Rachel Ray..........the first engagement couple who emails and books an engagement session with me for MAY or BEYOND will receive reduced session fees and a reduced deposit toward prints: Let's do $25 session and $50.00 toward prints instead of $45 session and $55.00 toward prints? How's that for ya? My stalkaratzi needs to drum this up, OK??

Call me! The first couple gets the reduced prices! :-)!
