Happy New Year!!

I really want to say Thank You to everyone who helped make this such a tremendous year for me and Jeni Bernatz Photography! This year has seen so much growth in my business and I owe so many thanks to all of you who have supported me and been here to help in one way or another! I really appreciate you all and send wishes for a joyful new year!

Ooops one more shoot snuck in!

Today we did the Mr. W's last monthly shoot for this year! He is getting so big, he was standing against my new prop today!! Even though he wasn't feeling great, he was so cute and agree-able!

We love you little man, here is your sneak peak M family!

Family Fun

Today was my last shoot of the year!! I lucked out as it was a super fun shoot and could have kept going with this family! I have not laughed this much in a while, and it was a great break from all of the holiday stress!! The guys were all good sports about being here and geting their pictures done, and it made it so much easier. Miss R we have all decided here that you look terrific with braces!!

B family, thanks again, here is your sneak peak!

Love is in the air

Tonight I got to do a very, very special engagement session. The groom to be is someone I used to nanny for (making me feel very old at the moment!!). He and his fiance are here visiting family and preparing for their June wedding. This couple was so much fun and willing to try anything for their session. We had a blast and at the end ended up in the big fountain by the space center!

L it was great to finally meet you, I am so happy for both of you!! Here is your sneak peak....

Rainy day = play time

C and K have decided they are fashionistas and the oufits they are coming up with are hillarious!! Today it has been cold and rainy so we had layers of fun, fun, not so matching clothes!! Ah to be 2 and 4 and not care how you look, or when as long as all pieces of the outfit were pink they must match! (how can that not make sense, right?)

So of course I break out the camera, only to be told, no way!! So before I lost them completely here are 2 shots of Miss K, spunky little thing!! (hey and it almost looks like she actually has some hair here!)

Girls Girls Girls

Sunday I headed downtown with a couple other photographers to photograph these cute girls. It was great to scout out some fun locations that are a little more "urban" than the norm, and get to meet some fun people! Thanks again girls for getting up early and coming out to "play"!

Here are a few from the morning, more to follow!

You better watch out....

You better not cry! We met with santa tonight at the "A" families annual party. This year my sweet, shy, princess C decided she was in love with santa!! This little one was so scared of him every other year that she would not even go forward for her gift! This year she hugged and kissed him when he gave her a gift them went back afterwards for more hugs, secrets and love for him!

Here is just one from tonight, if you were there tonight check your emails in the next few days :)

I have more updates coming soon, and some more of what I have been working on!! Also look for a new contest after the first of the year !

Bye Bye Rain!

As much as we can always us the rain around here, it does put a damper on outdoor portrait sessions. Lucky for us the rain from the last few days was no where to be seen today! We were back at Balboa Park with the extended family from a shoot a few weeks ago. 14 people with some cute cute kids! It is getting cold and dark much earlier so even with a short window we got some great shots...

Here is your sneak peak...

I love this one so much Im showing in color and black and white :)
