  • “Thank you Joleen, for opening up our minds to the world of color. Without your visions we would not have ended up with these beautiful pictures. Your creative style is amazing. We never thought taking family portraits could be so much fun!” Kim M.
  • “Joleen arrived at our photo shoot ready with her bag of tricks (tons of fun props and toys) to ensure that my three children had fun during the photo shoot. My kids warmed up to her immediately, and the end result was natural looking, fun, playing pictures! Her ease with young children and her natural talent as a photographer resulted in beautiful, heirloom quality photos.” Leslie S.
  • “As a friend of Joleen’s I have been fortunate to see her work progress throughout the past few years. I have been fortunate to have her shoot our young daughter and family on more than one occasion and each time she has been encouraging, calm, and fun. The shoots have been very relaxed and enjoyable and the final product has been beautiful.” Heather B.

ok i lied because i have to post these photos




I took my little(st) sisters out for a mini, mini session (for web photos like all the other cool kids) and ohmygoodness if I didn't come away with some beauties. Forget flowers, these two are the best subjects, I swear. And, I'm pretty sure that top photo is my favorite of Sarah. Ever. Hope you like 'em girlies!

PS- Don't print the web versions, Mom, I'll give you copies. ;)

“When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others.” - Peace Pilgrim

I will be away most of the next few days as my mother in law will be in our home visiting. I cannot wait! We don't get to spend time with her often since she's out of state but our time together is always wonderful. I'm looking forward to long talks, laughter, and a relaxing time.

I leave you with some current favorites of mine:
♥ I am going crazy over this photographer!
♥ A great message (and so creatively written).
♥ Fun project idea.
♥ Great childhood reminding diptych.

I hope you have a lovely weekend.

Hap-happ-happy Birthday!


... to my Mom (who verbally pinky promised not to look at my blog until tomorrow when I've given her this gift) (and if you do look, Mom, you're in BIG trouble ;) )! I created this mini book using April's Studio Calico kit - which I love, love, love!! It was such a fun kit to work with and I'm looking forward to scrapping a few pages with it, too!

Miss M



I am headed to Skye's Soulographer workshop in just a couple hours (woohoo!) but I wanted to post a few quick favorites from this morning's shoot. This is Miss
M and she's a Jet Set Kid. It was super windy and we were climbing around in hills of tall weeds. ;) All and all, a fun shoot - she was a trooper. I hope her mommy likes the sneak peeks! :)

Trunk Show Updates


I just wanted to let you know that the trunk show invites have been mailed and most of you should have received them by now. If you're interested in attending but haven't received an invitation, shoot me an email with your mailing address. If you're in Coachella Valley, I am taking appointments for Friday, May 2nd to view the line. If you're in Orange or Los Angeles counties you're invited to my show in San Clemente on Saturday, May 3rd. *Please Note* - Some of the invitations went out with the wrong address (Rosa NOT Road should have been written). I will confirm the address with you upon RSVP. Feel free to invite your friends!

Because You Know I'm Obsessive...







...this shouldn't come to any surprise to you. :) I've been lucky to have time to scrapbook the last couple of days. Today I even had a friend over for brunch and scrappin'. This is some of what I've been working on. I bought that super fun red and white polka dot album today and jazzed it up with fun felt stickers for Peyton's pages. The titles in these layouts (other than "what a hoot") were stamped with clear stamps by Autumn Leaves. The last two pages were made with my new love, elsie products. *swoon*

ps- gah.. i hate that these get cut off on the right side. you can see the entire image by right clicking and selecting view image. hth.

Ok, and Digi, too.


We're on the way out the door to go to California Disney Adventure but I wanted to quickly share a couple digital layouts I created yesterday. Still gotta give the love there... so clean and still so fun! :) I think I'll print all my digi layouts soon so I can show you how they look in the album. Have a great day!

Love, Joleen Photography
