Wedding photography

I was looking back at some of my pictures and realized just how much I truly love wedding photography. There is something amazing about being a wedding photographer. To be able to take part of someone's special day and help them remember all of those little things on their wedding day. I can barely remember details from my own wedding so looking back at pictures and going oooo I remember that is awesome!!! I would love to be a part of your day! I do weddings everywhere, some of my more local places in California are Redlands, Highland, San Bernardino, Colton, Beaumont. I also love to go closer to the beach cities like San Diego, Lugonia, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach. And of course I am always up for traveling! If you are interested in having me shoot your wedding, please don't hesitate to call (909) 534-7825 or email me jenilee@turtledovephotography.net so that we can come up with a wedding package to fit your needs!

F*ck it

Yep this it is true. My sweet little girl cannot say Farted, instead she says F*ck it. The first time I heard her say it I was in shock, it wasn't until later in the day I realized what she was REALLY trying to say when her baby brother let one rip and she ran up to me and said baby F*ck it.

For your viewing amusement. (You may want to turn off the music player at the bottom of the page)

Gay Marriage Ban Lifted!

This is a dawning of a new era. I know it will take time, but I think that the prejudice needs to stop and this is the first step towards that. To celebrate this new era I am offering the first 10 gay/lesbian couples getting married using Turtle Dove Photography get a 15% discount on wedding photography! Don't let other people's prejudice stop you from having a beautiful ceremony, and having beautiful pictures to last your lifetime!

Look what I just spotted

Well my stupid husband insists on using a wet erase marker to draw a dot on the TV for when he is playing video games. APPARENTLY it "helps" his aim when he is playing those stupid shooting games. :P Well I keep warning him to put the marker in the other room, because Rory will climb up to get to it. Well this is the second time Rory has climbed up there. The first time, she drew all over the tv, and several of her toys. Well Today she drew all over our wall :-/ I made DH clean it up and we thought we were good.

4/365 It's not every day. . .

. . . That I can get a picture of both kids together lol

I am only posting one photograph today. I think this says it all! Rory is being a booger and dancing on the table while Logan looks at me thinking "oooo whacha gonna do about that mom????" This is typical in our house, Rory doing whatever she can get away with :p and poor little Logan wondering if she's really going to get away with it or not hahaha

Project 365!

I decided to start a 365 project! This is where I will take a picture of both my kids EVERY day for an entire year!!! I have tried to do this before (with self portraits) but failed miserably when I realized I can't stand looking at THAT many pics of myself lol. So seeing as it is Logan's first birthday, I decided that I should start it today and end it on his Second Birthday! Or better yet maybe I can just do it from now on :) I am really hoping that I will make it through this and I know from experience it is a LOT harder than it looks! So I am going to need all of your support in doing this project! So leave comments, ideas, or anything else you can think of to show your support!

Wow that ceiling light SURE is interesting!

Some exciting new developments!

I am always striving to bring the latest things into my photography for my clients, because of this I am really happy to introduce a few new developments!

First of all you can now register with Turtle Dove Photography! Whether you are getting married, having a birthday, or having a baby you can register with TDP! This is something very exciting because registering will allow guests from your wedding, baby shower, and birthdays to invest money to go towards photography and prints!

Also I am now offering gift cards that will be available in prices of $25, $50, $100, $250 and $500 intervals! So if you register with TDP then your guests can give you gift cards towards photography!

Another neat thing I am really excited about is I am now offering a day after session! What is a day after session? Well let me tell you! ;) Ok that was totally cheesy sounding but I really am excited about this so let me tell you what it is. A day after session is just that, a session that happens the day after the wedding. This is really cool because it will give my brides and grooms the opportunity to get some fun and relaxed portraits in their gown and tux without the time restraints of the actual wedding. The day after shoot can be done at a location of the bride and grooms choosing.

Anyways, these are just three of my exciting new developments! Keep checking back in to see more developments!
