Fundraiser winner

I gave away a photoshoot to help fund a trip for local surgeons to travel to Africa to perform surgeries for women. I have not heard from the winner that bought the photoshoot. If you won please contact me at Jenniferbarnesphotography@gmail.com

Things I'm learning

There is so much to learn with photography. I've been working hard at learning photoshop. There is so much to learn, but I'm getting better.

Quaint Camas

I love the little town we live by. Alliyah & Ty go to spanish school in this downtown camas area. On Wednesday they had the "Boo Bash" where hundreds of kids went trick or treating to all the shops downtown. I could not believe so many kids went. It is the thing to do here. Very fun.

This is the lake by our house that has 6 miles of running trails all around.

Washington coast

We stayed in a yurt on the Washington coast. I was so excited. That was something I've wanted to do. I heard about yurts on the coast a couple years ago. It was the best camping. We had heat at night! That is one of the only things I dislike about camping - the shivering that takes place. All of us slept great.

The 3 brave people in my life going to boogie board in the freezing ocean in mid-October at 7:30am. My heros! You guys are truly the most awesome kids ever! And the Dad, well that is one reason I love him so much. Mr. Adventure.

Jeff, Shana and Family

These are my sweet neighbors. We decided to take pictures right here in the neighborhood. The view is at the top of the neighborhood overlooking the Columbia river. I loved their 2 year old and the fun he had with the flowers.

Happy Halloween!!

I'm going to start showing a little bit of crafty things on this blog too. Why not. That is definitely one of my passions too. So here is the invite to our Halloween party this weekend, minus anything too personal like address and phone numbers. We are looking forward to it. My friend, Tracey, thought of it and asked if she could throw a party at my house. Well, but of course! If you know the Barnes you know we like to get people together. Tracey is doing all the games. I'll let you know what we end up doing.

new little stud

This new little guy was the best baby I have ever taken pictures of! He is half chinese which gives him the most beautiful skin and eyes. He has his Dad's eyes and his mommas great lips. He is sure to be a stud! I'm so glad I got to take pictures of him. It was a very fun photo shoot. I love when moms are so fun and laid back. I was very impressed with this first-time mom. She just had fun with the shoot and I think babies can tell if there is stress in the room. No stress here = happy pictures!







He was born in the year of the tiger. What a fun shot.

Printing ideas

I thought I would show off the canvas cluster I had printed last month. I had simply canvas do the canvas pieces above the stairs. The big picture is 32X20, (2) 16X20, (3) 10X10's. They did a fabulous job printing them and mounting them on the really thick frame. I had chocolate brown printed around the sides on each print.

I loved the pictures we had taken with Kate and had a hard time choosing, and since I wanted my office to be decorated with bright vibrant colors I decided to go with this cluster of 9 8X8's. I had it printed with prodigital photos who I love! They have great papers and products. I had them printed on gator board, which is a black foam core. I stuck them on the wall with 3M picture stickers. Voila!!

Oregon Coast

Running from the waves, finding seashells, the wind blowing our hair, bumper cars... yes, this was one great day as a family!
