My favorite word

Laughter.... it's my favorite word. I love it when I hear it.... it could be a little held-in chuckle or a big belly laugh... either way, it's a beautiful thing. I once heard a quote, "Laughter... it's a smile that bursts."
Well, these two won me over with their laughter and smiles. It was a beautiful engagement session and I can't wait to photograph their wedding! Congratulations Kayla and Zach!

In the meantime, here are some of my recent favorites! Hope to see you on facebook!

It's the little things that mean the most

It was small and intimate...family and friends witnessed the ceremony that bonded them together. Although the wedding was small in size, the love between them is immeasurable... I was very happy to capture it for them. Congratulations Matt and Hayden.... here's to a beautiful future.

Survivor

A true survivor ….
Hitting a tree on the Colorado slopes 3 years ago left him a broken man. A fractured skull, broken bones and ribs puncturing his lungs were among the injuries he suffered. After a seven day coma, he awoke to a different life. No longer could he smell or taste… those senses were gone and still are. Not a smell or taste can he detect. His fluent speech had disappeared as well and in its place, a broken language with syllables that take time to speak.
Nonetheless, he stood before me… a survivor. A survivor whos real heart and personality has triumphed through tragedy. He’s a truly nice guy who wants people to look beyond his so-called “imperfections”. So now with the help of his friends, he’s on his way to fulfilling his dream of being on the show “Survivor”…. Good luck with your adventure, Troy… I wish you the very best.

Back to the Blog

Welcome Back.... I'm saying that to myself... it's been a long time since I've posted to the blog. It's not that I haven't been busy because I have... extremely busy!... and I love it. The Shelley Jensen Photography facebook page has been getting all the attention which left the blog a little lonely. But, I'm back and with a brand new post from a session that is one of my favorites.
It's Spring... 8 days into it, actually but from the falling snow you wouldn't be able to tell.
This couple was amazing, fun, beautiful... all wrapped up in a KU lovin' package! This campus is in fact where he proposed... and a perfect place to hold their session.
Here's your sneak peek Toni and Jeff... more of my favorites to come in your gallery!

Congratulations Kynan and Megan

Congratulations Kynan and Megan ... you made such a handsome groom and stunning bride... which of course makes you a beautiful couple! It was amazing to see the church filled with so many loving friends and family! Thanks for the honor of capturing your memorable day!

I "heart" faces photo entry - Smile

I've been waiting to enter this photo in a contest. This is a photo of one of the most beautiful couples I know. Their love for each other is evident every time I'm around them. I love this photo of them... it captures the way they feel for each other...her soft smile and the way he leans into her just reminds me of just how close they are.
Then, I found out that one of my all-time favorite photographers was the guest judge. She inspires me every day to do better, be better and challenge myself...
Visit www.iheartfaces.com for more entries.... enjoy!

The nearness of you

Meet Kevin and Jaclyn - a beautiful couple.... I mean beautiful. You could just feel how close they are together..... which in turn makes my job sooooooo easy! They move together and their intimacy makes for some very natural photography.

We visited 3 locations in Kansas City with some amazing backdrops. And, to top it off, the weather was fabulous!

Enjoy your sneak peek you two! I can't wait for the wedding!

Winter Wonderland Wedding

Congratulations to Maggie and Mitchell who enjoyed a beautiful holiday wedding complete with 3 inches of snow that fell to the ground just hours before the wedding started. Family and friends were filled with Christmas spirit as they watched these two enjoy their very special evening. I was honored to be a part of it. Congratulations and Merry Christmas.
