  • “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.

Matilda Jane

A couple months ago I came across the most FABULOUS children's clothing company called Matilda Jane. Most of you know how I just adore fun + unique  childwear. The "perfect outfit" plays such an important role in my photography sessions. You cannot find Matilda Jane clothing in stores, nor on their website- they sell strictly through trunk shows. They've just come out with a beautiful new line for Spring that I am thrilled to announce we'll be offering!

Love, Joleen Photography is hosting a two day trunk show in May (La Quinta, Calif. on May 2; San Clemente, Calif. on May 3). If you would like to be invited to see these beautiful clothing pieces in person please send me an email with your home address so that I can mail you an invitation.  If you won't be able to make either trunk show because you'll be out of town or live too far away you can also email me to place your order via email. You can view their entire Spring collection here.

For those that attend, you'll be entered into a drawing for a set of 24 wallets, a complimentary 16 x 20, and a free photography session (for up to 4 people)!

Spring!

We are so excited about Spring around here! It's starting off to be so incredibly beautiful and full of things we love. We're looking forward to a fun + fantastic season!

Spring is my favorite time of year to photograph! The weather is nice, lighting is perfect, and scenery is gorgeous! We are quickly booking up (and feel so blessed that this is the case). We only have a few more openings in April and May left. If you've been looking for the perfect time to schedule a session let me encourage you to do it now. We'll be moving in June and taking most of the month off before we start our Summer (beach!!) sessions. As always you can email me with any questions or to book your session!

And last but not least we hope you had a wonderful Easter!

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead..." 1 Peter1:3

The Happiest Birthdays on Earth









Sunday I went to Disneyland with my sisters, my best friend, Candice, Alex, and his childhood friend, Brian. Even though it rained a short bit it was SO much fun. The great thing is that we went on 2fer tickets so in a couple of weeks we'll all go to California Adventure with the other half of our ticket. :)

25


Today I am 25! I had the most amazing birthday weekend with my family and friends. I have tons of photos to upload and scan (of the photobooth type) and will tell you all about it over the next couple of days! :) I just wanted to say thanks again to everyone who was with me or sending me good thoughts!! I'm having the best birthday celebration!

Baby Bits + Being Blessed





How's that for a title? :) I just love baby parts! Details of all the rolls and curls are just so sweet. I thought I would share a few more photos of little Miss E. (I hope you like them, Tracy!)

I've spent a lot of time thinking about my life during the last couple of weeks and I feel so blessed. I know I mentioned it before last week- my feeling quite happy. It feels so great to have hope. Even as challenges are thrown my way, (and there have been many!) at my core I just feel so at peace. I *LOVE * my job as a photographer! I am thankful for a talent that blesses others. I was reading my devotional tonight and was so struck by the following verse:

"And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28

Happy Friday, friends!

Sand 'N Surf


Last Saturday I had a sibling session in South Orange County at the San Clemente pier. You couldn't ask for better weather! The session itself was a bit of a challenge but we worked it out and [I believe] produced some beautiful images. ;) I wanted to post a couple non traditional "portraits" because these are often my session favorites.

I hope you're having a lovely day!

Girls, Girls, Girls




I had sessions with 3 absolute beauties today! I still have a couple of sessions from last weekend to edit so I can only post a few favorites until I process more. ;)

You may remember Miss G from our photo shoot last Fall. Today we had a Spring session for photos for our new marketing materials. The theme is "Play" and we had such a fun time!

The second set of photos is of Baby J. You may remember her newborn photos. She's four months already!!

The last two favorites here are of Baby E. She is three weeks old and so full of cuteness it made my ovaries hurt. ;) Seriously, how sweet is she?? I just love babies yawning too.. hehe! Reminds me of puppies.

Baby Phat



Oh my gosh, isn't he just the CUTEST chubby baby EVER!? Time flies doesn't it? Seems like just yesterday we were doing his newborn session and it's been 9 months already! I can't wait to do his 1st birthday photos. :)

Love, Joleen Photography
