Sweet Baby Girl




I had the chance to photograph a very special family to me.... I've known this mom since she was two years old.... and now to see her with her own baby is pretty special. And, her little one is the spitting image of her that I remember.
Sheri, here's your sneak peek.... it was so good to see you and your family. Cherish every moment with her.... she's a sweet baby girl.

Fun and Fabulous!











I've never seen a wedding ceremony filled with so many friends and family.... it was a packed house... or church rather.... it was standing room only! From the "first look" to the "I do's", to the waaaaay fun reception, this wedding was FUN AND FABULOUS! So were the bride and groom. I was super happy to spend the day with them. And, she even allowed plenty of time for some more photographs with the wedding party right after the ceremony. We made use of some interesting locations in Holton Kansas and got some pretty good shots. Thanks Rachel and Zac for such a memorable day.... I hope your photographs capture some memories for you as well. And, as promised.... here's your BIG SNEAK PEEK! ( To see more, visit the Shelley Jensen Photography Facebook Page) ..... too many to blog!

"I Do"











They love each other.... really, truly love each other. And their friends and family love them too.... and they are proud of them... really proud - it was obvious from the toasts, speeches, and they way the guests and family members spoke of them the entire day!
It was a beautiful day... a perfect day for Amber and Taylin to get married. I had the chance to photograph their engagement and was honored to photograph this special day for them as well. Here's just a sneak peek of the day.... wish I could blog more! Have a wonderful honeymoon and here's to an amazing life together!

Sweet Bond




I love the fall colors... the weather... the feeling of fall.... it's just beautiful. And, so was this mother and son who I had the opportunity to get to know during their photo shoot. He's a sweet kid and his mom just adores him.... there's definately a sweet bond between them. Here's a small sneak peek.... more to come!

You smile, I smile




He said, "I love her laugh. It's cute when she laughs... it makes me smile."
She said, "He's loving. I love his eyes.... he's selfless and he's always there for me."

They each spoke of the other with so much admiration.... they truly adore each other... and, it shows.
They told me that the first time they spent time together, they had snuck into a public pool late at night with some friends and hung out together. Three years later, he and those same friends, snuck into that same pool, laid out roses and a ring and much to her surprise, he popped the question!
I was happy to be able to photograph some memorable engagement snapshots.... here's to the beautiful couple who will tie the knot early 2012 in the Bahamas! Congratulations, Nikki and Trent.... here's to a wonderful future together.....

SCORE - Chair = 1, Brian and Tauna = 0







I first introduced you to this couple when I had the honor of being there and photographing the moment he proposed to her. This time, I got to photograph the engagement session.... and, what a memorable engagement session it turned out to be.
Props like red chairs are always fun except when they take a tumble and take the couple down with them right into the rose bushes.... sorry guys.... it was fun though.... right???? And, the shots were worth it? ..... right? :)
They are a beautiful and fun loving couple.... I even got to meet their dog, George! Looking forward to the wedding and more fun in the future! Happy engagement!

Where did the time go?




When it comes to our children, sometimes we think "it seems like they were just born, and now look at how grown up they are." Time passes so quickly and before you know it, our children are out of diapers, starting school, running around with their friends, and then graduating. Then we ask ourselves, "Where did the time go?"
I'm sure this mom is asking herself the same thing when she looks at her beautiful daughter. I was lucky enough to be able to capture this milestone in her life.... 8th grade graduation. Great things are ahead of you.... enjoy every minute of it... and keep smiling!

1 + 1 = 2











She's a teacher.... so when they went on their first date, instead of bringing her flowers, he brought her a shiny red apple. She was smitten... and he was in love. That's how it all started so to keep with the theme of their lives, they chose the school where she teaches to have their wedding. And, what a wedding it was! The entire wedding party, parents, grandparents.... everyone wore converse sneakers. They had several flower girls.... two of them were their very own puppies pulled down the aisle in custom made wagon.
The playground made the perfect setting for some playful wedding shots. Here's to Scott and Katie .... keep laughing, keep smiling, and keep having fun together! Congratulations.... here's a little sneak peek for you!
