What, July already???

Well, I just feel that it is absolutely crazy that July is already here.  June was a blur and the sad part is that around our house July (from the looks of the calendar) is going to be busier than June.  So, I know you just check here everyday looking for the latest and greatest from me so I must apologize for being absent for a couple of weeks.  I have actually been busy entertaining kiddos, trying to stay cool, keeping the house clean since it is on the market again, looking for a job, making plans/goals (more on that later), and editing a couple of shoots and a wedding (my actual first solo wedding)!  I have not quite finished the wedding but when I do I will post. 
But since I haven't shared this session yet I will now.  This session is one of my favorites I have done lately!  This is actually a longtime friend of mine who was one of my roommates when we were young, first year teachers.  We have kept in touch, sporadically, over the years and I was beyond excited when she contacted me to do a shoot for her and her little family!  Excited isn't even the word.  First of all it was great to see her, meet her husband and kids, but most of all to hang out and have fun!  Her girls were just darling and so full of life.  They wore the  most darling little tutus and I just watched in awe as they just adored their grandparents, who were also at the shoot.  It was a great afternoon at a beautiful location, might I add.  So, here goes, check them out!  Leave me a comment and let me know what you think!
Oh, and by the way, coming up in August there will be another giveaway on my actual one year
"blog-iversary" so stay tuned!  And don't forget to share Jennifer Gauer Photography, this website, and my facebook page with all your friends.  New incentive program announced on facebook so check it out! 
Have a blessed week!  Another post coming tomorrow (hopefully) about our 4th of July fun weekend!

The Lindsey family

Loving these little boys...how cute and sweet little personalities.  Check them out! 

summertime, summertime...

Well, as usual, we have been busy, busy, busy.  I have been so blessed with lots of photo sessions lately and even a couple of bookings for weddings  this summer.  I am just feeling so excited about all these opportunities!
I had the opportunity to photograph a 50th wedding anniversary of a very special couple that attends our church.  I cannot tell you what a wonderful example of a loving and respectful relationship they are to others around them, as well as what true christian influences they have been in our lives.  I love them dearly and I felt so blessed to be there on this special day with them to honor  them. 
Below are a few pictures from their special day...

The Poore Family

This was a fun family.  I know I say that a lot but truly I just love what I do!  They were so laid back and fun and the kids just kept me laughing.  Little Colt, who is two, was such a ham he kept us all laughing! 
Such sweet times!  Just loved their ease with each other and sweetness!

This is my 100th post! Wow, how time flies!

Just wanted to say THANKS! to all my family, friends, and clients who have been so supportive and kind  with the beginning of my new photography business a year ago this summer.  I have met and worked with so many great people and had so much fun photographing them and  their family. I have truly been so blessed.  God has shown me a talent I didn't know I had and he has helped me grow and  learn through it!  I hope you all have a blessed day and thanks again for all your support and love!

My Baby Boy graduated from Pre-School

It was the absolute sweetest thing.  Mrs.Chaunta, Peyton's day care/pre-school teacher, along with her staff had a little graduation celebration for all those kids in his class that were leaving to attend Kindergarten next year.  They made their own graduation caps, got diplomas, had a little "Way To Go Graduates" sign, Grad party supplies, a cookie cake to celebrate, and little gifts.  It was just adorable.  He was over-the-moon excited about it and has talked about it all week.  He was so excited about the hat and was super-protective of it when Jaedyn tried to wear it!  So cute!  Below of a few pictures.  I can't believe he is going to Kindergarten next year.  We have been so blessed that when we changed jobs and schools that God led us to this day care/learning center.  They have treated him so well.  He had such separation anxiety at first but has really come to love the people there and made such great friends.  He loves Mrs. Chaunta and she is so wonderful with the kids.  I could go on and on!  Peyton (and I) will miss that place!
Disclaimer...these pictures have not been edited so they are just "proud mom" pictures not "Jennifer Gauer Photography" quality pictures :)  I wanted to be  in the moment so I wasn't concerned as much about perfection!  :)  Just FYI!
Have a blessed  Memorial Day weekend!
