so ... i know it's only been a few months for this blog... but i'm jumping ship and moving to a new blog :)

after using this template for a few months, i'm realizing it's limitations.

you'll find my new blog at the same web address that you're used to www.jwadephotography.com/blog and this current blog will now be found at /oldblog!

hope that all makes sense!

just a few photos from little walks and things - it's been a few weeks since we've had a wedding and i start feeling the need to pick up the camera

i have more - but i'll save it for later

xoxo

driving home from seeing a friend... that little cloud to the lower right was a little itty-bitty rainbow. made me smile

i love LOVE love afternoon summer sun.

love.

i love peonies... i love the way they smell ... how tight they are when they're closed ... how beautiful and ruffly they are when they're open

i also love my friends... my fireplace mantle is covered in things that remind me of the people i love

i love daisies... i don't know why

there's something about the simplicity and purity that i love

the little wild ones that grow in the grass are my favorite

i've always loved pictures of roads or paths that leave you wondering where they might lead... i found myself wandering down a path at carkeek... so curious to know where it ended up

Tue, 20 Apr 2010 00:14:42 CDT

emmalee and robert are so sweet and so welcoming - i had a blast photographing their special day with jenny gg!

the best part of the day for me was the fauxtobooth! i love some of the prop combinations that people come up with - and emmalee's dad made these cool "voice bubbles" for us to use.

so - in short - AWESOME wedding :)

we had SUCH great sky and big puffy white clouds!

i loved this one

robert made that 'i do' hanger for emmalee. how awesome is he?!

i swear - robert is super talented! he drew this and gave a copy to each of his guys!

seattle author ariel meadow stallings was featured in an article in the seattle times this sunday offering tips to 'offbeat brides' ... and (the super-duper exciting fun part) photos from two of jenny gg's weddings were shown: tom and nina and brooke and dylon from last summer!

i turned into a little bit of a dork when i bought the paper at starbucks this weekend... i gleefully announced that the reason i needed two papers was that my friend was in the paper. exciting for me. he, on the other hand, could not have cared less. oh well :)

congratulations jenny! here's to more offbeat brides and fun weddings this summer!

maternity: { jeane - 5 months }

wedding: { gina + mike }

Sun, 21 Mar 2010 18:07:38 CDT

gina and mike are the best! i had such a fun day assisting jenny gg for this awesome wedding. we had a blast just getting to ellensburg, but that was just the beginning :)

gina, mike, and their entire wedding party were so fun! the couple wanted photos in and around downtown ellensburg, and we all had fun with the old buildings, graffiti, and sun flare.

congratulations mike and gina!

check out jenny's shot!

gina on her way to the reveal - jenny got some sweet moments!

i loved this shot ... AND... after i was looking at it on the computer, it totally looks like gina is standing in a heart... right?!

check out jenny's view

i'm in love with this photo - i took it while jenny did this

these boys are awesome - are they cool, or what?

this is the coffee shop that mike and gina go to all the time - we had some fun playing in and around the shop!

i love graffiti, and we found this while wandering down the alley - "life is love"

oh look!

tulalip wedding: { kali + andrew }

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 01:49:04 CST

so technically jenny gg and i did a wedding on the 1st of january - well... jenny did it, and i held the umbrella - before it turned inside out! but kali and andrew felt like the first wedding of the year for me. and what a great way to start it off! kali and drew are the sweetest to each other and to their friends and family!

i'm super stoked about this year's weddings - thanks kali and andrew for letting me be a part of your day!

i've had 4 days off - and it's been great... time with friends and time with myself. one of my favorite places to go is cupcake royal in ballard... it definitely makes grading papers more appealing!

holiday: { happy valentine's day }

Sat, 13 Feb 2010 19:41:19 CST

valentine's day is one of my favorite holidays... for different reasons than you might expect.

1) it's a holiday that we can actually celebrate in school because it isn't tied to any specific religion... yet.

2) i love hearts and love and sweetness

3) there's something about this holiday that makes me want to take photos and be creative and get inspired

... as for the cards and candy and mushy love stuff. meh.

happy valentine's day <3

xoxo

these made my day <3

just a few things from my week - happy weekend!

we're learning about goldfish and guppies in school - the kids are so excited... i'm just hoping to keep the fish alive long enough to finish the unit.

also... i have an undeniable urge to talk baby talk to the poor fish.
