Stefanie in the Snow : Tacoma

We’re doing our best to stay warm amidst one of the biggest snow storms in recent years. Before the brunt of the storm arrived, we shot some portraits of Stefanie.

Happy New Year! We’re so excited for this next year and what it holds for us, our business and our little Lucia. It’s amazing to see her grow and change already. I think we’ll keep her!

Jeff and Alise : Tacoma

We love the Marshes, and being able to spend time with them is pleasure. Here are a few portraits we shot of them earlier in the month for their Christmas card. It was nice to see these woodland creatures in their natural habitat. Someday we’ll stop shooting in forests so much, but I don’t anticipate that happening soon.

Welcome Lucia Gabriella Shumate to the world! We are in love with our little girl. She is such a sweetheart, and it is so amazing how much joy she has brought to our little family. We’ll tell a little more of her birth story later, but for the time being, here are a few photos!

Anna and John : Georgetown Seattle Wedding

admin — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 22:52:25 +0000

This is one of those weddings you don’t want to end. It was fun, sweet and unique. Just like Anna and John. They were married at the Georgetown Ballroom in South Seattle. There was barbecue and Molly Moon’s. There was dancing. There were Scandinavian wedding hats. And, of course, there was rain.

JSP Albums

There isn’t much fun keeping photographs cooped up on discs and drives. They need to live and breathe. Prints and albums let them do just that. Albums help tell the story of your wedding and are a great way to let great moments live on. Here are a couple of beautiful custom albums we’ve designed. Ian and Katie’s engagements are seen with an embossed leather cover, and Sangeen and Jameela’s wedding is seen with a photo wrap cover. Contact us for more details on albums.

Kelsey and John : Suzzallo Library

admin — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 20:54:05 +0000

Kelsey and John are getting married today! When we shot their engagements in September, Kelsey was hoping to get some shots at the Suzzallo Library Reading Room at UW. But as school had yet to start, it was not open. So I told them that when they came back up to Seattle before their wedding, we would hit up the library, and I’m glad we did.

Roger and Lyndzee : Tacoma

Our glorious friends, Roger and Lyndzee, came up from California to celebrate their ninth anniversary. They loved the trees and the fall colors but weren’t so crazy about the cold. We had a great time laughing and picture-taking with these two!

JSP Wedding Packaging

Here’s a look at how we’ve been delivering our weddings this year. We had custom USB drives created with our logo etched into the wood. This seemed a little more exciting than burning discs, and although they’re expensive, it is a nice investment. We bought kraft boxes from Rice Studio Supply and a little kids craft foam to help prop up the USB drives in the box with a little tape. We fill the rest of the box with shredded National Geographic magazines from the 50s and 60s. While it was a little painful to shred up these treasures, the shredded paper has great color and fits our brand. We insert a hand-stamped thank-you note along with one of our letterpress business cards. The box is stamped with our bug and wrapped in kraft paper.
