Jessica Winn Photography

I arrived home last Wednesday to a package from AT&T. Yes, it was the new iPhone 4! I never bought the 3GS, so going from 3G to 4 was quite the upgrade. After staring at the pretty (extremely clear) new screen for about an hour, I decided to play with the camera using my (somewhat) willing models: my cats!

Then I realized that really only I like to look at millions of photos of my cats. So the next day, Jonathan and I tested it out at the Adventure Science Center’s Way Late Play Date. It seemed to me that it performed better in low light conditions than the 3G’s camera did with normal light.

And…video!

I think I’m in love. Did anyone else get the new iPhone?

If you remember part one of Meagan’s senior portraits, you’ll know that we got rained out after only about half an hour. So to complete her session, I drove up to Dunbar Cave in Clarksville for the not-as-urban/more-naturey final part of the shoot. We had a lot of fun playing with light!

Thanks for letting me experiment, Meagan! (And, um, thanks for finding me when I got lost in the woods.)

What a great wedding! Jessica and Rich were married at Belle Meade Plantation last Friday in a very warm (95 degrees!) and beautiful ceremony. I was second shooting for the fabulous Hannah Elaine once again. Jessica and Rich’s wedding had lots of unique details, including an ice cream bar instead of wedding cake! Despite the heat, they could not have asked for a more perfect day in Nashville.

How sweet is this photo of Jessica’s grandmother helping her with her garter?

I loved the grey suits the groom and groomsmen were wearing.

The live music from Blue Tone kept their guests on the dance floor for hours. What a blast!

I think it’s so funny to see photos of myself taking photos.

Holly posted one a few days ago that her sister Shannon took during our newborn session last weekend.

And one of the resulting shots:

Oddly, I’m wearing a dress. Which isn’t strange on a normal day, since I wear dresses probably 80% of the time, but I usually wear jeans on shoots (or black pants, in the case of weddings) because I tend to end up rolling around in mud.

And here’s another reason. How embarrassing is this? Normally I would just sit on the ground to get a shot like this, but despite being in Vegas, I wanted to stay modest. It wouldn’t have been so bad if I weren’t wearing tights and, so fearing I would rip them if I got on my knees like I would normally do, decided to do some awkward squat thing. Notice how Eileen is cackling at me. Megan took this one during one of the Weddingbee trash the dress shoots.

This was kind of an impromptu shoot, so I had already picked out my outfit for the day. You’d think I would have changed shoes, though. I’m not really sure what possessed me to go on a shoot wearing HEELS. We’ll just say I was trying to challenge myself. But here’s one of the resulting shots!

Whenever I second shoot, I try to take at least one photo of the primary photographer in action, just in case they find it as amusing as I do.

Scout was born less than two weeks after her mom’s maternity session! I made the trek down to Estill Springs last weekend to capture these sweet images of her.

What a gorgeous family!
