raina {family}

This was the second time I got to shoot the beautiful Raina family and it was extra special this time as Adi's parents were in from INDIA! They only come every few years so I was honored when Arwyn contacted me to get some photos for them.

katie & walter {married}

I really enjoyed being a part of Katie and Walters day. They were intent on keeping things simple and really focusing on the importance of this important step in their relationship and their true love for one another. Isnt that what the day should be about anyways?

Katie & Walter, I wish you all the best and God's blessings on your new life together. I am truly honored and thankful you chose me to capture your memories.

I am also thankful that the rain held off so we could get some really awesome photos : )

May has been filled to the brim with traveling and marriage retreats and LOTS of great photos : ) 

Our first stop was Jacksonville, FL for our units Marriage Retreat. We stayed at the Sawgrass Marriott , also the PGA tour location, and it was so beautiful! We did not want to leave. If you ever are in need of a place to stay while visiting Jacksonville, I HIGHLY recommend the Sawgrass.

While enjoying our Retreat, I also had the pleasure of taking some photos for families and couples also in attendance. Everyone was so awesome to work with and took some fantastic photos. I seriously want to get some prints to hang in my own house... I just love them so much : ) 

While I continue to catch up on some editing and get ready for some future sessions, heres a sneak peak at some of awesome-ness from Jacksonville...

...MORE TO COME SOON...

February- PhotoADay

Austin and I have had an enjoyable and relaxing start to 2012 but we are SO excited for February to be here!

Part of the reason for my excitement is the February Photo A Day Challenge:

Feel inspired??

Well January is already half way over, and so far I am on a roll of not posting anything. It's not all my fault though. I thought that as we entered 2012 life would calm down a bit and give us some time to catch our breath... boy was I wrong!

Josh's superiors decided to send him on a brief deployment to receive his promotion. Once this was officially planned Austin and I decided to drive back up to Ohio to spend this otherwise alone time, with family.

Right before we began out trip up north we decided to buy a house. (This was not a last minute decision, just one that we made quicker than we planned).

Now I am in the works of planning our trip back to GA so that we can spend some time with Josh, close on the house and make some more house related decisions.

After that we, Austin and I, will head back to Ohio while Josh is in Ranger School.

As you can see life is by NO means settling down.

Maybe come summer?... we hope so : )

With all that said, if you are in the Northeast Ohio areas (Cleveland-Akron) and wanting some updated family photos, engagement photos to celebrate your holiday season betrothal or maybe youre getting ready to welcome a new member to your family... CALL ME UP!
visit my website and shoot me an email : )

Happy New Year!

With the holiday season behind us and the new year at our fingertips, its time to get back to work. I am not complaining though. While I have loved and cherished every second of the past few months with my family, and I am always sad when the Christmas decorations come down, I am ready for my first clients of 2012!

So all my beloved Buckeyes, listen up:

Jaclyn Davis Photography will be temporarily be relocating until summer 2012! Most of you know the hubs is in the military and he will be "out of town" for quite some time. While he is away training Austin and I are traveling north again to spend the next couple months enjoying time with family and friends back home.

Have no fear Columbus, JDP will be back again before you know it. We will be back before June and the time will surely fly by so shoot me an email or a phone call to reserve your summer and fall sessions now. Beat the peak season rush!!

Friday Fun

Because it's Friday and everyone deserves a good laugh to take them into the weekend:

I thought the "caution coffee is hot" warnings were bad enough...

I am writing this down to use on my kids. Genius.

Must have been one heck of a camo paint job...

It starts early

More to come next Friday : ) Happy Weekend!
