JC Photography & A Giveaway! {CLOSED}

 You know when things are just meant to be? Like when jelly met peanut butter, lobster met butter, mayo met everything {sorry Russia moment}...notice all things with me are about food LOL. Well that is how I felt when I was stopping by a friend's house, minding my own business when WHAM, out of the blue I met this darling chica that had just moved in and was...dah dah daaaaahhhhh a PhOtOgRaPhEr!!!!! Never mind the fact that she was on her way to the river with her darling kids to "set free" their fish ; ). I was so stinkin excited to have a fellow artist on the block...not to mention the fact that I am terrible with picture taking and would love to drain every ounce of knowledge she has on the subject!!! Luckily she had volunteered to share her gift at a local gathering. I came, pen and paper in hand, front row, eagerly waiting and BOY did I learn so much!!! There are things that she probably thought were common knowledge but I was sitting there feverishly writing =). Ladies, I am SO pleased to announce that JC Photography is joining the ranks as the newest Classy sponsor!!!! Not only that but she has also agreed to share tips and tricks with us every now and then here on the blog! Are you excited??? I AM!!!!! Do you want to meet her? This, my friends is Janelle in the shell of a nut:
 My name is Jenelle Wanlass. I am married and have a perfect number of children, four. Two girls and two boys. I have always loved taking pictures and documenting our life, but it wasn’t until 2004 that I really discovered that my passion was in photography and I’m hooked!  There is an incredible joy I feel when I get that one great shot.  Just knowing that you will have beautiful photos of you and your family forever is so satisfying. I love capturing emotion and telling a story with one photo, or 40 of them! Not a day goes by when I don't see something I need a camera for or wish I had a camera in my hands. I live life with the goal of preserving memories, not just making them. I believe photography should show things as they truly are, which is why I can appreciate a photo of a crying baby, or a mischievous kid. Children are only little once but the photos I take, will last a life time. My husband and I grew up in San Jose, California but moved to Utah to start our family.  As a “California Girl” I miss the warm weather and of course the beach. However, I have realized that I love living in Utah. Being a wife and a mother is the most important thing to me than any other title, but I have to say, being a photographer as well makes everything in my life just about perfect!  

 Isn't she dArLiNg?!?!? Yeah, she is =).  Well, not only is she darling and amazingly talented but she is also generous. Are you guys ready for this??? She is offering one lucky Classy reader that resides in the Utah County area (and some surrounding areas) the chance to work with her and walk away with some amazing pictures of you and your loved ones. You can enter to win this:
  • One free mini session which includes one fabulous location on the date of your choice
  • One CD to take home filled with the best, retouched, high resolution pictures from your session
  • 10% off your next session with JC Photography

I'm another one about to have a baby (mid-April) and I'd like some family pictures with our first little boy. I even have an idea I'm dying to try for a gallery wall that requires new pictures.
