Let me just say that it felt like summer today.  I could have worked in a swimsuit and still left sweating!  It’s been a while since I shot in the high sun, but it was so worth it to play with ‘L’ and her new baby brother.  This was one of those sessions where you could just keep shooting for hours because you’ve got all these ideas….except that it’s now past lunch and everyone is beat red from heat.  Yep, one of those.  🙂

Enjoy this little peek!





It’s no surprise that juggling being a stay at home mother and a business owner is beyond a 24/7 job, but lately it’s wearing.  I noticed the other day, to my shock, that I’ve scheduled myself in for every single weekend til June.  Don’t get me wrong I’m so excited to meet everyone of these clients and am honored to photograph them, but I’m going to take this opportunity to change things for the future.  I need my weekends for my family.  So starting in June I will only be opening up 1/2 the weekends each month. The other half I won’t be scheduling any sessions.  That being said if you are going to need a weekend spot, even as far out as fall you might want to schedule early.  🙂  Right now I can only schedule a Saturday appointment in June for the 5th and 26th.

I wanted to share a few more images from a previous session. 🙂



I have really enjoyed reading all these Single Parent Contest emails.  I’m feeling just a tad bit inadequate and pathetic to be honest.  😉  If you haven’t entered the single parent in your life you only have SIX more days to do so!  To learn about the contest and find out how to enter click HERE.

MJW Photography will be closed from April 18-21 as I travel to Oregon for a photographers retreat. I am so excited!  🙂

If you are interested in booking a spring session email me soon.  All April weekend spots are now full, but there is still weekday room.  To find out how you can earn free session credit click on the red heart at the left or HERE.

With all this rain yesterday and today I need some sunshine….



A feisty baby girl entered the world at 8 pounds, 5 ounces just 9 days ago.  Little ‘C’ sure is cute and has the most beautiful olive skin!  I say feisty because if she didn’t like what you were doing with her she sure let you know!  🙂

I hope everyone has a safe and Merry Christmas.  No matter where you are or what your circumstances are this year remember this…if you are reading this it’s because you have Internet.  If you have Internet you are very blessed in this world.  As you do your last minute shopping maybe you should check out an Angel Tree and see if some child needs something this year.  God Bless and I’ll see you next year!
