SIKE!

Ok...so what the heck happened right? I said I was back and then I go and dissappear for even longer. 

Ugh...I know- I'm sorry! 

So the problem with my "new" blog is that it's not exactly SEO, Pinterest, or Facebook friendly. I don't want to get all technical, so I'll just say that it's not what it needs to be. SOOO I did the unthinkable- I hired someone to turn this baby into what I really want. 

I know... believe me, I'll try anything and 99% of the time I can figure something out myself (whaddup google), but everytime I found tutorials on creating a custom wordpress layout, inserting the sidebars that I wanted, etc. my eyes would cross. I'm sure with the time and dedication I could have figured it out eventually, but it started taking up my precious work time which really needed to be focused on clients. So I had to ultimately decide to give it up and let a pro handle it. 

So I'm really excited to see what they come up with! It should look similar and different all at the same time. I get to see the first draft of my baby (not you Phoenix) any day now and then I'll get to make edits and tweaks until I think it's perfect- then I can finally get back to my blogging ways. The people I'm surrounded with on a daily basis (Topher, baby P, and the dogs) are only mildly interested in my work talk...one of them puts up with it to humor me and the other three listen politely and then lick me in the face or bite me on the nose...I'll let you figure out who's doing what. hint: baby Phoenix is getting some very sharp (albeit very adorable) teeth. So I definitely love my little outlet to blab on about wedding, work, and pretties. 

Anyways, I hope to be back very soon and back for good this time! In the meantime, I'm pretty active on instagram (@jenniferlauratx) so feel free to follow me there. I've been busy over the Memorial Day weekend with some photo shoots that I posted a few teasers of. 

Like this. 

And this.

See you soon! 

{A JLD inspiration shoot} Bridesmaid tea party

 Eeks! I'm so excited to finally share this little photo shoot I put together a few months back. I remember the day we shot this so clearly. We had already re-scheduled once due to rain and this day it was SO windy. I was so worried that my entire table was going to blow right off...but amazingly the wind actually worked in our favor and made everything just come to life. The idea behind this shoot was that a bride has set up a cute little tea party to ask her bridesmaid to be a part of her wedding. Thanks a million to everyone that was involved!

I'm Back!

Woohoo- I'm back! Alright I want to preface this return by saying jenniferlaura.squarespace.com is no more. Although if you read me in a RSS feed or reader it should still work just fine. But from now on to get the full blog look and experience this is where you will want to go. Yah, I'm not 100% thrilled with that domain- but for now I am just so ready to get back at it that it is what it is... Hopefully I can tackle getting the domain and get a few other details hammered out at some point, but for now I'm calling it a day. 

Annnywaaaays, while I was gone I've gotten some very pretty and special project images delivered to my inbox that I can't wait to share. I'll be back tomorrow with some of the goods- I just had to shout that I was back from the rooftops today :)
