{My Project 10} January
I seriously can’t believe the holiday season has passed already and it’s time for my January edition of my project 10, where I join ten other photographers for a monthly peek into our everyday lives, with ten images from one day. This one was particularly fun, since it was the very last day of Winter break, before we all had to return to work and school (boo!). We really made the most of our day together, hitting up the Ellwood Butterfly Preserve , where the butterflies were out in full force as you can see. Then off to the bowling alley for some arcade fun, where Z was able to get himself his first lava lamp with his winnings. Top that off with some delicious frozen yogurt (that got quickly scarfed before I could get a pic of it), and a glorious sunset. We couldn’t have asked for a better last-day-of-vacation!
and since we are required to include a selfie, Z and I had some fun with the remote shutter.. Really trying to take a few shots of just me and my guy every month, so he doesn’t think I have that big metal thing attached to my face 24-7 (this totally counts as one photo) 
Next up in our circle is the fabulous Robyn Oakenfold, please continue clicking through to see what everyone’s January is looking like, such talent in our group!

{Santa Barbara Portrait Photography} Thank You 2011
Goodness, to be honest I got extremely teary looking over images for this post. I know it’s cliche to say but I feel so blessed to have captured the faces of all my wonderful clients in the past year. My business really took off in 2011 and I have all of you to thank, I couldn’t have done it without you. I had such a blast getting to know you, hearing your stories, and for many- watching your children grow and change. As a thank you, not only will I be offering return clients in 2012 $50 off their session fee, I will be hosting a little contest on my Facebook page- a chance for you to win a free session, including ALL your digital files! So look out for that! And hopefully you stick around, and continue to follow my blog, I have a feeling there will be many exciting things in store for Z’s the Day in 2012. XOXOXO Jen
SEE YOU IN 2012!!

I loved all the different personalities in this bunch, they were super sweet and funny, made my job easy And the love they all have for little J certainly shows, he was the star of the show! Thank you H family for the wonderful morning!

{My Project 10} Christmas Edition
Every month I participate in a photography project with nine other ladies from around the globe. We post 10 photos from a “day in the life” on the tenth of the month. This is my holiday edition and probably my favorite Project 10 so far. I’ve been blessed with wonderful business and clients this past year- so much that most of the time I forget to slow down and capture my own family, and things that I love. For this month’s Project 10 I chose to document our Christmas decorating day with a trip to Lane Farms for a tree and some fresh veggies, home for dinner, a couple pumpkin spice martinis, a little Pandora holiday station, and a whole lotta tree trimming (which you can tell from the overloaded Noble)
I also love this addition because I had a little artistic fun with these photos, thank you to Florabella and Jessica Drossin for the textures on all ten images
Next please head over to the blog of Hope Toliver, she is completely inspiring with her lifestyle photography!
