the final burn

UP! with love!

2011-11-12T03:29:00.002-05:00

Meet my little sister and my soon to be brother-in-law.

Sam proposed to Christy 2 years after they met.

(on 4th of July, in front of a crowd of people, with FIREWORKS!)

We thought balloons would be fun for an engagement session, so we bought 2 dozen and had some fun.

Sam and Christy are both members at their local fire company, so of course I had to take this!

I cannot wait until their wedding next year. I am also helping her plan her wedding, so you might be seeing more wedding related posts this year as well!

PS: I am currently in the process of setting up a beaudoir session to be held in early January. If you are interested, get in touch with me!

The Tresslers

Portraits :: The Tresslers

The Tresslers are one cute bunch! And can I just say I love the outfits? ADORABLE, right! I had so much fun with the kids, and the pictures came out great (even if it was freezing out!)

PS:: I am thinking about running a mini holiday special for family portraits. If anyone is interested, please contact me at jennyblazephotography.com I will have more details on that later this week!

Posing 101

2011-09-03T17:20:00.000-04:00

I know I haven't been here for awhile, but that's okay, I have got a cure for your sadness.

Sometimes it can be difficult doing portraits. You try to bring out the personality in your subject, but other times it's quite hard when the client asks for a certain "pose".

I present you some terrible ideas (but somehow, so totally awesome)

With a Gameboy ::

I apologize sir, but is that a gameboy advance? If you aren't playing Pokemon, I am going to be severely disappointed.

With a ladder ::

Get back to work, that ladder isn't dirty enough.

With a keyboard ::

"If by my life or death, I can protect you, I will." (Aragorn)

With a floppy disc ::

That disc contains all the footage from icanhascheezburger.com

With your hamburger meat ::

Finders keepers. ;-)

In short, if you ever find yourself wondering what you could do for your portrait session, steal an idea from these guys.

Luke :: Senior 2012

2011-08-03T21:17:00.001-04:00

Luke :: Senior 2012

Get use to seeing this handsome face! He is the first winner of the Jenny Blaze Photography model senior program. Luke was chosen base on this little essay his mom, Connie, wrote about him:

"i am writing this for my son Lucas i know it says student to write but i am so proud of my son. He is a very nice boy well mannered, i get that on all his report cards. he is on the distinguished honor roll. his goal is to not miss any school days this year. he is playing lacrosse. he recently picked his senior classes out and decided to go full days of school instead of getting out early to prepare for college. he contributes what little cash he earns working for his father to help the kids of york to play sports. he babysits in his free time also. i recently suffered 2 strokes and when i get down on life he tells me it will be ok and kisses me on the forehead. every night he shakes his dads hand before saying goodnight...love you. this is ny son and role model. ty connie shank"

Luke won a free 3 hour shoot, along with some extra goodies. He will also be a feature not only on the Jenny Blaze Photography facebook page, but will be a feature on the website (it's in the works!) for the next year.

It pays off to be a role model!

If you are interested on how you can win a free shoot, keep your eyes peeled to the final burn for more information coming soon!

Esession :: Brooke + Daniel

Esession :: Brooke + Daniel
Athens, GA

This is a special shoot for me, since my cousin Brooke is the first to get engaged in our generation in our family. I traveled down to Georgia for their Esession, so it was part vacation, part shoot. I had so much fun with Brooke and Daniel and cannot wait for their wedding next summer!

totally what happened last night.

Finally!

2011-07-07T00:20:00.000-04:00

After a week of trying to figure out in my head exactly how I wanted this blog to go over, I finally did it!

Photo: I have a few shoots coming up this week, which I am totally stoked for! I am also editing a few shoots from last week, in which I will post some images tomorrow.

Art: If you haven't hear of 16poundrabbit yet, you should probably check us out. As a member, I am so stoked for the show we have coming up involving rabbits, that weigh 16 lbs. I have a lot of work ahead of me for this show, but I can't wait!

Also, Seed of the Transformer, a 16poundrabbit side project, has a show this Saturday at the Harrisburg First Church of God (15 North 4th street Harrisburg, PA) for the Can Hunger Music Fest. Check out the facebook link for more information and to see the line up (there's a lot of great bands playing)

Diggin it: This past week, I have been completely consumed by Mr. Reggie Watts. Take a peek at this clip from when he was on Conan:

He is completely hilarious and his music is out of this world, considering he does it all with his voice. Visit his site!

Final notes: The Final Burn is meant to be my last stop for the night. It isn't primarily my photo blog. It's my everything blog. From cool things I find on the internet, telling you my thoughts on love & life, and everything in between.

So subscribe, let's be friends. :-D

2011-06-29T23:26:00.001-04:00

so i've determined to make this my everything blog. everything from photography, to art, to inspiration. Whatever I want. because this is my blog damnit!

i am currently trying to update the layout. but it's such more of a pain than i thought it would be. so bare with me, and the messy-ness of my here blog.

I am a stumbler. I stumble all day. I stumble while I work. Needless to say stumbling affects my abilities to be time-proficient while I work. But I am always coming across extremely neat ideas, concepts, and just pure awesome things. This is one of them.

Karen and Mike's wedding invitation, designed and assembled by Kelli Anderson.

If I ever happen to meet Mr. Right, we aren't going to have plain invitiations. We will come up with something completely awesome like this RECORD PLAYER INVITATION. The coolest part is that it is a song that Karen and Mike made themselves. Watch the video, it really works!
