This week, I had an e-session with the fabulous Mike and Breanne. We went downtown and rocked it out. They put up with all my crazyness for the evening and we had a great time! Here's a quick sneak peak from there session. Wedding is in September, looking forward to it!
Yesterday I had a family session with some good friends of ours. It was so much fun, I think we were laughing most of the time! If you have little kids, you understand it's difficult to get them to cooperate sometimes, so rather than stress out, we just followed there lead and ended up with some great shots. It was great fun and I have many many more pictures to get through, but I wanted to share some that I had done. Thanks for the great time guys, I hope you like them so far! 
I've decided to offer a 10 day sale! Starting the 5th through the 15th of June, you can get the session of your choice (excluding weddings) for $50. The cost covers my time, all of your digital negatives on a high resolution disc ($175 value), with a release to you for printing/duplication purposes and a free 8x10 ($12.00 value) of your favorite image. You will have 2wks of online proofing, with the option to order high quality prints through my lab if you prefer. The best time of day for a session is mid-morning or early evening when the light is at it's best, so I will be scheduling during these times. I will make exceptions if your schedule (or mine) make it necessary. I've decided this is the best way for me to do a "marathon session" and still have enough time with each family/person to capture lasting images without feeling rushed. Please call me to set up an appointment, or drop me an email: jessicamariephotography@gmail.com or 616-667-2553.
Can't wait or afraid to miss out? I have a few spots available before the 5th, 16th and 17th and I will honor the sale on a first come first serve basis for those dates.
I've been brainstorming ways to get more images for my portfolio and I think I have it! I'm going to try a marathon session. The way this will work: I'll pick a date and time, you show up, I take fantastic pictures of your family or kids and you get a free 8x10! The first one I do will be a family/child session. If this goes well, then I plan on offering them for seniors and couples in the future. If this all turns out the way I hope, I will probably offer this once a year as a summertime promotion. I'm still working on the cost and location, but I promise it will be at an amazing/affordable price! Right now, I just want to see how much interest there is for someting like this. So drop me a line if it's something you'd be interested in so that I can plan out the fine details. The more interest I have, the better value I can give. jessicamariephotography@gmail.com or drop me a line on my facebook: Jessica Appel
That's right guys, it's time to get your family pictures done! These are my kids... just playin around in the yard. We can do them anywhere and get some great images of your family just being yourselves! Drop me an email to schedule your session: jessicamariephotography@gmail.com 
I'm attempting to get through as many of these as I can, but the kids are making it difficult. Here's a few more I got through today.
Yesterday I got to photograph a wedding for an adorable couple. The day started out rainy, but ended up petty exceptional (minus the wind!). Here's a very brief sneak peak of a bit of their day. Enjoy your honeymoon Nico and Sarah! More to come after my eye surgery...
