A little change will do you good!

Hello all of you wonderful people in internet world!


For quite some time I've been thinking about making a fan page on Facebook. Everyone keeps telling me I should, and I could always see how easy that would make it to network with people, but for some reason I could never bring myself to sit down and do it. On top of that...a fan page, for me..really? Isn't that a little much? A little arrogant? Well, this morning I woke up and decided I was going to bite the bullet. Let me tell you, I'm so glad I did! Through creating this fan page, I realized this is more for me personally than it is anyone else. Not only have I been able to really see the progression of my work over the years in doing this, but also because I'm a huge fan of the totally amazing people that have allowed me to peek into their lives, to document big and small moments and turn them into lifelong memories.


I have chosen to start out by adding my favorite wedding pictures from the past 4 or 5 years...WOW, I've really been at this that long??..(it really doesn't seem like it!) As I added my favorite pictures from these weddings, I sort of took my own trip on an emotional rollercoaster down memory lane. I get a little attached to my clients. Sometimes rather quickly, because they've all been so great. Chances are if I've photographed your wedding, I've stood there and teared up enough to have to wipe off my camera during the middle of your ceremony. Sometimes more than once!


These brides are so dear to me. I've been blessed by working with so many truly wonderful families during these past years. Wonderful brides, grooms, parents and extended families that I can not say enough good things about.

I hadn't looked at many of these pictures in years and the flood of memories that came back to me were incredibly touching. This collection of photographs aren't "just other people's wedding pictures". They're a huge part of my life, too. I've seen these families go on to have children, start new careers, and build new futures for themselves. I've also from afar witnessed loss and sadness in their lives. I find myself affected by those moments as well. I'm attached in a way that I never thought would be possible when I started this. Most of my brides have kept in regular contact with me, letting me know about these changes and often allowing me to document those changes too!


I'd like to say to each of you, "Thanks so much for allowing me to go on this ride with you"



So if anyone reading this decides to "become a fan" of JDP, please realize that I'm probably a bigger fan of my clients than anyone could ever be of my work.
