Graduation Portraits - Lauren

Missy — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 05:11:03 +0000

Lauren and her mom Karen are no strangers to J. Thomas Photography - we met Lauren and Karen the first year we photographed the Bel Air High School Senior Fashion show in 2008. Lauren went off to college at my alma mater, Salisbury University, and Karen continued running the Patterson Mil High School Fashion shows so we were lucky to work with her year after year :)

4 years later (Oh.My.Gosh., it has been 4 years!?!) Lauren is graduating college and we were SO exicted to shoot her graduation portraits!

Chris captured some beautiful pictures of Lauren in Havre de Grace - they visited the promenade, the marina and the park on a gorgeous day!

You may remember little Spencer from some of our blog posts last year (Spencer's newborn and 6-month sessions)...a BEAUTIFUL baby boy who Jason had the pleasure of photographing his 1st year of life....from a little tiny needs-to-be-held-and-fed newborn to a big and adorable walking-and-talking one year old! Being able to watch Spencer grow through the camera's lens has been so fun this past year, and we wanted to share a little bit of the miracle of his first year of life....

from beautiful baby....to big baby blues

little Spencer is 1 and fun!

Picture Frames and Chalkboards and Mustaches - oh my!

Missy — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 04:54:50 +0000

This past Sunday marked our very first (and most definitely not last) mini-session portrait day, and it couldn't have gone any better! Brooke and Julie from Granger & Wit (pictures of them to come soon!) were SO great to work with! They worked their little butts off the whole day, swapping out scenery and props for all of our awesome families! They put names on chalkboards, made the kids laugh, handed out confetti and cleane up confetti :) And the kids AND parents that came - SO fabulous to work with! Everyone was up for a good time, they gave us silly, they gave us serious, pretty smiles and great big laughs!

We can't wait to do another one - and if we're lucky enough Brook and Julie will join us again! If you're interested in joining us for one, let us know and we'll put you on the list to receive more information!

In the meantime, check out these beautiful faces :)

Celebrate Your Love! - mini sessions

Jason — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 18:14:57 +0000

February is:

American Heart Month, National Hot Breakfast Month, National Sweet Potato Month, African-American History Month, National Bird Feeding Month, National Children's Dental Health Month.....and on and on and on!! There are SO many reasons to celebrate and smile in February, but at J. Thomas Photography, February is "Celebrate Your Love" Month, and we think that's the best celebration there is! We want you to celebrate your love for your husband or wife, your love for your cutie-patootie kids, your love for your best friends, cousins, grandparents, pets, boyfriends, girlfriends - and YOU!

Take a look at our short video below - hopefully it makes you smile, and want to be with the ones you love!

Senior Portraits - CATCH UP!

Missy — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 20:16:12 +0000

SO.....last year I might have had the goal to post more to the blog...and I might have even had the goal to post every senior shoot we did...and I just might not have met those goals - SORRY!!

As usual, senior season gets very busy, and a lot of tasks fall before the blog (i.e., getting excited seniors and parents their prints! :), so blogging falls behind.

Once again this year, I am making it a goal to post a LOT more! Even better, Jason and Chris will be writing some posts of their own - so look out for those! :)

To start off 2012, here is are some images from senior sessions that didn't get posted last year - they are sooooo gorgeous (all of them!) and I just couldn't start the new year without showing them off :)

Class of 2012...

Senior Portraits - Courtney

Missy — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 04:40:12 +0000

One of the perks of Jason being a photographer is that when people you love are celebrating a special moment in their life, we get to capture it in pictures! When we found out my niece Courtney was going to skip her junior year of High School and graduate early, we were very excited for her to start this new journey in her life, and the added bonus that came along with it - SENIOR PORTRAITS! :) We have loved being able to photograph my other amazingly beautiful nieces who have graduated high school so far, and adding Courtney to the group was a must! Courtney is smart as a whip, stunningly gorgeous and has a heart of gold. She laughs non-stop and is a bundle of energy, fire and joy. Courtney - we are SO proud of you and love you VERY much!

Next up we have Austin from Patterson Mill High School. Being super-sweet AND a talented football player, Austin has fans both on and off the field, and we are happy we got to become fans of his this year! :)

Senior Portraits - Jordan & Vincent

Missy — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 03:26:27 +0000

Our next 2 seniors may not go to high school together, but they definitely have a bond for life - they are cousins :)

Jordan goes to Fallston High School and Vincent goes to Patterson Mill High School. They decided to do their senior portrait sessions together which made it a lot of fun for all involved! Both took great pictures, and both were able to relax and have a good time!

Senior Portraits - Lauren

Missy — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 23:09:03 +0000

Lauren is our next high school senior and she attends Fallston High School. Her session took place at Annie's Playground in some amazing early-evening light, SO beautiful!! Two of Lauren's loves include New York and fashion (sounds like a fun time ahead!), and the latter is definitely evident in her pictures! She is seriously gorgeous and cute all at the same time! :)

Senior Portraits - Jen

Missy — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 02:52:17 +0000

Next up we have Jen, a senior at Patterson Mill High School. Jen's session took place at 2 different horse farms in Harford County which provided a ton of gorgeous backgrounds that made for some amazing pictures!!

Jen wanted some pictures with her 3 horses: Scotty, Cash and Reina. They are all special to her in their own way, so it was so nice to be able to capture her spending time with each of them. Jason got some beautiful pictures of Jen and some beautiful pictures of Jen with her babies.
