A few of my fav teasers from last week :)

I had a great week, with some fun sessions! Luckily it was nice and sunny for me on Wednesday! Here are a few of my favs from the day :) I am so lucky to have amazing clients.

On another note, I received my studio lighting kit this week! :O YAY! This means I will be working on some very fun stuff over the winter. Indoor smash the cakes, newborn sessions, and a very fun new option for my Wedding clients, A PHOTOBOOTH! Keep your eyes open for those coming soon!

Recently we got our maternity session with Jodie, she did a wonderful job even though it was about -10 outside! She also did our wedding back in May. Jodie is extremely easy to work with and will gladly use any ideas you have. Personally, I like candid shots and even though we were posed for many of the pictures, she has an amazing talent in making it look natural. We can't wait for our little man to arrive so we can have our newborn session with her. We highly recommend her for any of your photography needs! You will not be disappointed!

Thanks Jodie!!

Thank you for doing our engagement shoot recently. We are both a bit shy so we were a little nervous about having to pose but once we got started we had so much fun that didn't feel awkward at all. We were amazed that you had teaser shots up within six hours of the shoot and they are so fantastic we can't wait to see the rest. We never expected to have such beautiful photographs and have gotten a ton of compliments. You are so talented! Thank you so much, we will definitely be back for more.

Thanks again,
Erich & Laura

I won a mini photo session to celebrate my daughter's first day of school. Jodie took amazing photos that captured the sparkle of both our girls, even some family poses. We have hundreds of digital snaps trying to grab the moments that she successfully snapped with a quick 20 minutes in the park! I spend more time than I should browsing through her sneak peeks of people I don't even know, in awe of her eye for detail and a great picture. Thank you for your energy, enthusiasm and memory-capturing...can't wait to book you again!

I had my maternity photos taken by Jodie Lemke Photography. It was my third pregnancy and I felt the need to document it as I hadn't had much time to embrace this pregnancy. I was so thankful and delighted with the outcome of my pictures. It brings me to tears when I look at them. Everything I wanted, plus a little more.

We won a mini session through a contest Jodie had on her website during the summer.
Jodie was awesome at making us both feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera which really makes a difference in how the photos turn out. Jodie has great energy and enthusiasm and is definitely up for taking photos anywhere!!
We love how they all turned out and will definitely be back for more!

My sister and I had a mini shoot with Jodie in July, as a present to give our parents for their 35th anniversary, and so my sister could see Jodie in action (who was booked as her wedding photographer). It was a very relaxing experience - we were free to offer suggestions, and Jodie gave us lots of feedback for poses and kept us laughing at lot. My sister's wedding in September was another example of Jodie's professionalism and upbeat attitude. The day started off with more rain than we anticipated, so we had to change our photography locations at the last minute. Jodie did an excellent job of being able to adapt and give us amazing photos. She also managed to coral 5 very rambunctious groomsmens into getting some excellent photos. I would hire Jodie in the future for all my photography needs! Great Job!! :)

Jodie is the definition of awesome! We had had the worst of luck attempting to get a decent family portrait with our young daughter. Jodie changed that for us! Not only did we finally get a good pic, we got TONS. She is patient, understanding, and passionate for what she does. Terrific with kids! Our daughter loved Jodie so much, which I believe helped finally break our curse.

What can I say about Jodie... I honestly have no idea where to start, except to say that she is absolutely AMAZING!!! We came to Jodie to have our first family photos taken and we were so happy. She was so friendly she made us feel totally comfortable and she was so flexible with our uncooperative children. She will go above and beyond to capture that perfect photo...including squeezing between the rungs of a fence and leaning over the edge...totally nerve racking but she did it for us. Everything she does is just for you :) Thank you Jodie!

*PHOTO COMING SOON*

Integrity.

Well today I quickly address the backbone of my business. Integrity.

Too often today I see photographers, or people in any business for that matter, that have zero compassion or integrity. Seems like business is cut throat and people are just plain mean. We think its just kids that can be bullies but really, I see it ALL the time in our relationships as adults. Recently a friend was the victim of it. It makes me so sad.

I read an amazing blog post today by J*, a huge inspiration for my work. Check it out here.

We all have options. To do what we love. To ignore those who push against us. To live life and be HAPPY. There will always be people in our lives that want to wreck that. But we have to 1. brush it off and 2. Move forward with strength.

I have had ALOT of people knock me down. It hurts.. I can't say it doesn't, but I have learned that you can't please everyone. Just do what you LOVE to do. Be the BEST you can be. The People will see that are the only people you want to hire you anyways! I thank God everyday for his hand in my work.

For me. I will keep on truckin. Cause I LOVE what I do and the people I work with! I don't have to be the best photographer in Penticton, I just want my integrity.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

So we all know that I am not very good with Blog posts! I am not a writer that's for sure!! But I really love the idea of sharing a bit of ME with my clients! My goal over the winter is to get busy blogging and getting into a routine of it! Also I want to do a blog maker over!!! We'll see!

In the mean time. What are YOU Thankful for? I can't begin to tell you how blessed I feel. God's given me so much, and blessed my business so much. I am amazing clients and couldn't ask for more! This is one of the main things I am Thankful for this year season.

Of course I am so blessed to have amazing family. Without them this business would not be what it is. My husband is my biggest cheerleader and my best friend. I can't thank him enough for all his support as I work work work... and then am up late every night editing! I love you Derek! Of course my kids are my inspiration. they keep my laughing and smiling and always wanting to be better. better mom, better wife, better photographer! Gosh... just writing it makes me overwhelmed!

Thank you all for being so awesome and for supporting me as my business, knowledge and talent grows!

Enjoy your thanksgiving weekend. I hope its wonderful :)
