Hello and happy summer to all!

I can't believe we are already half way through the year, yikes!  Although I am thoroughly enjoying spending time summering it up with my family and friends, I can't help but think my busy season of late summer and fall is just around the corner!

August, September and October are always incredibly exciting and busy with high school senior portraits, a wedding, personal projects and family portrait sessions. 

I have limited availablility now thru October, so I recommend scheduling your anticipated portrait sessions or photography needs as soon as possible.

For those of you who have asked or possibly interested, I will be offering one fall mini-session in Milwaukee in early-mid October and one in Verrado, AZ (Phoenix area) mid/late November. Details on those mini-sessions will be announced on the blog and social media outlets.

Take care, enjoy the weather and I hope to connect with you for your photography/portrait needs in the near future!

Recent road trip to Washington Island with my family

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to spend the day with my family on Washington Island, in Door County, WI.  We specifically went to the island that day to go to the Fragrant Isle Lavender Farm & Shop.  What a fabulous business and farm.  If you ever get a chance to visit Washington Island, please make sure to pay them a visit and enjoy the lavender goods they offer.  I personally LOVE lavender and fields of lavender.  I think I must of lived a past life in the south of France, because there's just a special something about lavender fields and I.  Our visit was lovely and while shooting conditions weren't ideal (bright high mid-day sun), we were happy to be there and I was more so happy to share that with my family.  Here's a taste of some of the images captured.  Enjoy!

Feel free to also visit Fragrant Isle Lavender Farm & Shop on Facebook and the web:

My girls

A few weeks ago, I had some fun shooting head shot of my daughters.  Of all places, these were shot right on the side of our driveway.  Sometimes, the least likely location shows a ray of light and to me, that becomes time to play!  Enjoy!!


Referral Program

REFERRAL PROGRAM

I love it when clients tell me how much they love their images from their portrait session, but I love it even more when they tell others…that is seriously the best compliment a photographer can get! To show my appreciation and give back to the people who put their trust in me, I’ve started a new client referral program to reward existing clients. Refer a new portrait client to Jennifer Birney Photography.   Have them mention your name at their booking.  When they complete their portrait session, you’ll receive a $25 credit to be applied to your next portrait session.  You may combine multiple credits for your next portrait session.  It’s that easy! I will keep track and notify you by e-mail when one of your referrals has completed a session.  If you would like extra business cards to share with friends and family please let me know! There is no limit on how much credit you can build towards future portrait sessions with Jennifer Birney Photography.  Offer is not refundable, transferable, or redeemable for cash. THANK YOU for spreading the word about Jennifer Birney Photography and for your continued support.
