Yearly Archives: 2011 {all images via} Ok, so I had to take a moment and confess my love for pinterest. I find so much wonderfulness there! It easy to get sucked into the “perfect” world you see there, but my goal is to simply use it for inspiration. I love to find ideas for sessions, poses, home decor…  Have you ever felt called to something that you didn’t feel equipped for? I am certainly have, in fact I feel that way today. The past six months have been a crazy roller coaster of why, what if and why me. Uncertainty is my constant companion. I feel like a kid on a high school… 30 comments 
JEN! you are so great! god certainly has given you a talent with photography! look at those pictures! Amazing :) thanks for being such a great example of faith to me! 
Boy do I understand what you’re going through. Maybe not in the exact same way because the Lord has a different path for each of us, but that feeling of “Ok God I did what you asked even though I don’t feel good enough…now what??” http://lds.org/ensign/1989/05/beware-of-pride?lang=eng&query=faces+pride I love you and I know God loves us for keeping up with what we’ve committed to. Go get ‘em! 
Beautifully said.. 
I loved this post Mrs. Blair!! You are a excellent writer!! 
I, too, am a very uncertainly person. Especially when it comes to challenging things. This post is beautiful, and it’s message it so true. Love the pictures! 
What an inspiring post! Such a beautiful message! And I’m so happy you’re sharing your talent of photography with the world. You are so talented have so much to share! 
We don’t see the amazing ways God works until we are completely dependent on Him. I can tell you are growing SO MUCH as a photographer. Your work is stunning! Keep trusting! 
Wow what an inspirational post. I feel somewhat like you right now. I feel like I have a greater purpose and I know there is something I am meant to do, but I’m still figuring that out. I feel it’s through my blog and my writings and my love of romance, but I haven’t gotten there yet. I never thought I would be the person afraid to do what their heart desires and I definitely never though I’d be the person who settles for something that doesn’t suit me. Thank you for sharing this. Your work is always stunning and I believe you have a beautiful gift! 
I totally understand what you’re saying. My situation is different, but I have come to realize that “I can’t” either! I was struggling with some stuff this summer & finally got to the point that I had an angry conversation with God, telling Him that I just wasn’t strong enough to do this! It was one of those moments when He finally had me where He wanted me~> realizing that I really can’t do it in my own strength & that when I am weak HE is strong! Anyways, I’m glad you’re allowing Him to use your talents for His glory! {& thank you for your comment on my blog!} 
“I once heard someone say that God doesn’t call the equipped, He equips the called.” Favorite line of the whole post. It is so true. We are not born with the abilities to do the things we set out to do in this world. God gives us these gifts and abilities….all according to His will and purpose for our lives. You are a beautiful photographer! :) 
I fell in love with your photography! You,re so talented! 
Thank you Alexis!
Thank you Brandy!
Thank you!
I am so thankful for you Courtney! Thank you!
Thank you Natalie! I really appreciate that!
Thank you Vera! 
I love this blog post Jen! God has trully blessed your photography business and I know he will continue to do so :) 
I loved this post. I can relate so much! Self-consciousness is something I must get rid of too. 
There are definitely ways to minister with photography. I know someone who felt called to work with Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep, it’s heartbreaking for sure, but she is wonderful at what she does. Also, photography is a much better “mommy” career than any 9-5 office job ;) 
I also feel the same, thanks for the inspiring post! you are beautiful! 
I love your new blog and look! You are a very talented photographer the pics are just lovely. And your makeup always looks Fabulous..just saying :) god bless 
I love your new blog! Glad to see you are following through with God’s calling. Your photography is beautiful! You are an inspiration. Maybe someday I will have enough faith to follow through with my calling ;) I was just curious, which resources you used to learn your DSLR? I know practice is best, but if you have any tips or books you liked best, I would love to hear. 
Thank you sweetie for these words. I needed to be reminded of them today. GOD CAN DO ANYTHING! Why don’t we just join Him in the adventure instead of fighting Him?! 
I love the new look of your blog Jennifer! Your photography is inspiring and takes me to other places :) Happy 2012 New Years and I hope it far surpasses any year previous. God Bless! Jeanine :))
Thank you so much Jeanie! I hope for great things in 2012! 
first of all, i LOVE your outfit in these pictures! secondly, i’ve only seen a bit of your work, but i think it’s amazing how quickly you’ve progressed. that to me is clear evidence this is something God wants you to do! good luck, i will continue to follow and hope one day you can shoot some photos for me! 
yeah, you two are totally adorable. 
wow wow…. I am speechless…. such an AMAZING INSPIRING post! I cant wait to go to sleep and wake up tomorrow and begin an amazing journey with God…. it starts again each day. 
Beautiful photo’s!!!!!!! Check out mines:  We had a wonderful little Christmas at our house. I can’t believe this was our second Christmas together! I miss being with my family, but I sure do love spending such a special day with my husband! I’m enjoying our few quiet Christmas mornings before our family gets bigger…and noisier. :) The rest of our… 11 comments

You had a great Christmas too! 
Aww! I love all the cheerfulness of your Christmas, and cute hat! Merry Christmas to you both! =D
You are so gorgeous…can’t even get over it! You two are one of the sweetest and cutest couples ever. Glad you had such a wonderful Christmas…and I love those boots! 
Looks like you a great Christmas celebration! I’d love it if Christmas was on a Sunday every year, too! Although I’ve grown up going to church on Christmas every year, anyways. :)
I’ve always done the Christmas eve thing, but I liked it on Sunday this year!
Thank you so much Erin! :)
Thank you so much Natalie! :) 
Oh I LOVE your new blog! :) Excited to keep up with you here :) and you guys know how to do Christmas! The photos of your sweet Christmas morning are beautiful :) Looks like you guys got some fun gifts! And i love that you said that you’d be fine with Christmas being on Sunday every year, me too!! I loved being able to enjoy our church service…it really kept the spirit of Christ in our hearts that day :)
me too! I like that we get church to remind us the reason for the holiday in the first place!! haha and are you just blogging over here now? I wonder if there’s a way that makes it so i don’t have to login every time i comment 
LOOKS just right! Cozy and sweet and relaxing…i like what you captured here in these pictures! We skye’d with my husband’s parents too, well, actually it was “face time” LOL  Before I started my photography business I worked in an office with Lisa. She is one of the most genuine people you will ever meet. You can’t help but to like her as soon as you are introduced, or so it was with me. She is an honest and true friend with a caring heart…. 4 comments

Thank you so much Gina! 
Jennifer! Your work is as beautiful and lovely as you. Thank you for your sweet words about my mom. I also think she is one amazing woman! 
The pictures of Lisa are really great. We are life-long friends and the photos are like looking at her in person – she is a wonderful person and I cherish our friendship.  Happy Christmas Eve Eve! I hope you all are having a wonderful time with your friends and family! I’ve been at home for the past few days enjoying being with my family. My hubby just has Christmas day off, so I spend a few days with my family before hand. This year we had a… 10 comments

I’ve become addicted to Pinterest too!!!!!! I use it for a bunch of things. I have a few boards where it’s for inspiration (ex. Ideas for the Youth Group). Some are stuff like “my dream home” and it’s just me fantasizing. Other boards are basically pictures and websites I simply want to keep because I like them. But I’ve learned that it’s actually really helpful for my family! My mom over Christmas was asking me what my decorating style for my apartment was and I couldn’t really put it into words. So I just showed her on Pinterest! Haha. And now she’s addicted to it too.
I use pinterest for everything…teaching ideas, recipes, craft inspiration, style ideas and house decor! I looooove it!
such beautiful pictures from it!!!
Especially that top middle skirt, its from j.crew! i’ve always wished that I could think of an excuse to buy it…but I come up dry. boo hoo.
Pinterest is so addicting! I use it to compile cute pose ideas for my photography business and for recipes. I also always seem to find the best hair styling tutorials there. Love your outfit pins above!
Pinterest is the most amazing thing ever since sliced bread. I use it for photography ideas and inspiration.
Oh gosh, I LOVE Pinterest! I’m a recipe and home decor kind of Pinterest-girl, but I have everything on mine! : ) I’m following you now over there!
I know! Wouldn’t that skirt be awesome Mckenzie? :)
AHHHH I love pinterest! So many beautiful things! I love finding new recipes to try on there, and I get so much inspiration for making my home cozy and pretty and for my photography!
Hey, I was on your other blog and it brought me straight to here. So your link worked! :)
I love pinterest. I don’t get caught up in the ‘perfect world’ aspect of it, but see it as the same as you. A way to learn new things and ideas. Hope you have a great New Years

Awesome! Thanks so much for letting me know Em!

Sense Christmas i have saved about 200 pictures from pinterest on my computer and iPod! Its very addicting! I love your finds!!!
In Christ

long skirts!! a trend i vow to try when spring rolls around.
I love Pinterest! Like you, I use it for inspiration. I have used a few tutorials for stuff around the house, and I’ve made a lot of recipes that I found on there. Next time I have extra $ for clothes shopping, I’ll try to find some items similar to what I have on my “If I were cool, I’d wear stuff like this” board! :D
