  • “I LOVE THEM! So what I was hoping for…Thank you so much...they're beautiful, fun photographs!” Mary M.
  • “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.

I am *so* incredibly smitten with this product! It is my favorite by far. This particular gallery wrap canvas is 16" x 24" and is just stunning in person. Email me for current size and pricing information.

Changes

I had a session with these girls on Saturday morning and it was *such* a pleasure. They were both so sweet and easy to work with not to mention just gorgeous. :) 

There are some *big* changes happening around here. Most of you know that for almost 3 years now I've worked full time as a nanny. Beginning next week I will only be working two days a week. I am so excited to have the opportunity to do my passion - photography - full time. There are big things in the works for Love, Joleen Photography and I am really looking forward to it! The main reason for the big change is that my 13 year old sister, Jaydean, is coming to live with my husband and I. :) We have spent the last few months preparing, as best we can, for her move- which is this upcoming Sunday. It's going to be such a big change, having a teenager in the house, but Alex and I are looking forward to... most of it. ;)

Fashion Inspired

I have always had a passion for fashion. I have vivid memories of this love dating back to kindergarden; images of my favorite outfits + accessories still fresh in my mind. In college I even tried my hand in fashion design. I daydreamed about owning my own boutique of fabulous goodness- everything I loved. It's not surprising to me that my photography has taken on a fashion-inspired edge. While most photographers encourage simplicity and tradition, I advocate trendy and contemporary styles. I love color, stripes, polka dots, and other bold patterns. I think fashion can lend a fabulous form of self expression and help set the scene for great portraits.

Here are a few of my favorite online boutiques for funky kid wear:
