Old School

It has been a while since I have posted on my blog.  When visiting my parent's house for my mom's birthday, I came across my first camera which is actually my dad's camera.  It's a Minolta 55mm f1.8-16. It's quite heavy since it's made out of metal.  I'm hoping to take some shots as soon as I get a new battery if I can find one!

My Constant Model/Inspiration

This past Sunday morning while I was cooking breakfast, I noticed the way the light was coming in my bedroom as Kona lounged on the floor.  I couldn't pass up the great lighting so I did a mini shoot of her working on some technical settings.  Here are my two favorites.  I need to branch out on subjects but she's just easy to photograph!

Callenwolde

This past Friday I had the pleasure of second shooting a small wedding at Callenwolde.  Callenwolde is an old house with so much history and wonderful architecture.  Everything about this place was gorgeous and it was a wonderful place to have a wedding. Now the mansion is an arts center where you can take all kinds of classes from art to dance.  Check out this old formal dining room!

My New Website!!!

Yesterday I lauched my new, official photography website: www.JackelynLynamPhotography.com.  Getting this up was hard work but it really paid off. So far, I've recieved a lot good feedback.  I hope everyone enjoys it!
Stay posted for some new pictures in the upcoming weeks, I have several projects in the works that I am really excited about! 

I just can't stop taking pictures of dogs...

It seems like I always end up finding some adorable dog and just having to take a picture of it!  My friend Daniel recently adopted a new puppy from the Atlanta Humane Society.  He is a very smart and sweet dog!  So far he has no name but he still listens very well for a 3 month old.

So for all you people out there looking, trying adopting!! I have found that adopting can be a very rewarding experience and little pups like this one will love you for it!!!

New Stuff To Come!

I'm so excited for the next couple of weeks! I have been soaking in so much good information from photography friends and great blogs lately! I recently shot a kid's birthday party which was a lot of fun. Needless to say I wish my birthday parties were like that when I was a kid. I'm also working on my new website! I hope to have it up and running in about a week. So stayed tuned!!!

Up and Coming

Tomorrow is an exciting day for me! I will be shooting a child's birthday party at Opera night club in Atlanta. This is my first solo booking and I am super excited! To be honest, this is my first time shooting kids and I've done my research. I hope the research comes in handy with 15 3-year-olds running around. I found a really great website that gives good tips on how to shoot children. Check it out for all you proud parents out there!
Here is my friend Daniel's beautiful mutt, O'Riley at Candler Park.
