My Inspirations & Journey

noreply@blogger.com (janellebaldwinphotography) — Sat, 11 Oct 2014 16:41:00 +0000

Where has Janelle Baldwin Photography been??? Thank you all for not holding your breaths awaiting my return to blogging. I feel like I should catch up & let you all know what we've been up to!

Just before our trip out to Vegas... we were too excited to see our four page feature in the new 'It's Love' Magazine.

Out in Vegas about 3 weeks ago.. I registered to take classes at the WPPI 2013 Photographers Convention. I got to see, listen, learn from, be inspired by, and shoot with sooo many successful & talented photographers.

Sue Bryce is a portrait glamour photography Legend! Having the opportunity to see, watch & listen to her inspiring words in person was an absolutely amazinggg - AMAZING experience!!

Participated in a photo shoot walk with Moshe Zusman.

Sight seeing was pretty minimal since I spent most of my time in class, or browsing/researching new products at the tradeshow. (Which was also wonderful, can not wait to show samples of the new products we will be offering!!) .. So here are the few snap shots I managed to take with my pocket size point 'n shoot camera

This is the closest we got to the pool.

View from our hotel room.

Bellagio Fountains.

Dinner out with some pretty amazing Winnipeg Photographers who were also in Vegas for the convention!

Best sandwich in Vegas.

So I want to share a few links & videos with all of you that are taking the time to read my blog.

I was amazed at meeting & watching Mindy Gledhill performing live in Vegas, as she opened for Sue Bryce. Since then I have been following her music... obsessively. Here is one of the songs she performed in Vegas

I find music very inspiring. I can't live without it, it's usually how I start and end my day. I came across a video this morning... of Mindy documenting her inspirations for her new album. She mentions not always knowing all the answers, all the time & that leaves so many possibilities open.

I'm going to admit I was absolutely terrified of blogging at first. Creating a blog with images I could easily do. Though writing my thoughts, words, feelings was an other story... Her words along with the people I was lucky to meet or hear speaking so far this year, have made me reflect on my life & business.

Mingy Gledhill - New Album Documentary You all must watch this short documentary clip!

I had absolutely no idea when I hosted our Janelle Baldwin Photography Wedding Show & Open house late November, 2013.. that I would be opening up a new studio location in Winnipeg in early January.

This year has been an eventful roller-coaster!! We are working on a lot of new business aspects that we had not forseen, even a few months ago.. and we are sooo very excited about launching them!! Our countdown has begun.. we are not very far away from our wedding season , starting off with our wedding in San Pedro California in just 8 weeks! Until then we are going to try and squeeze in as many Grad & Senior sessions as possible!

Writing this blog, building & making my business grow has made me realize.. that yes, not knowing all the answers all the time is okay. It can turn into wonderful and unexpected things. I believe in being the imperfect person you are, and loving yourself just the way you are! xo

Met this lovely couple for the first time the day of their engagement session. Kayla & Matthew met at Red River College, which is where we decided to start off out Photoshoot :-) Loved capturing the love between these two & looking forward to photographing their wedding this summer!

Sarah & Omar: Married

...I had just given this bride strict orders that she was due for some kickin' her shoes off, relaxing time :-) and I was due for some she detail & ring shots...!

I absolutely loved all these traditional dances!!

I adore the expressions on the faces of the groom and father of the bride! Congrats again Sarah & Omar, you two make the loveliest couple <3

Not to worry, we are BACK with full intentions of catching up and making sure everyone is back 'in the loop' on what we've been working on! To start that off, here is a preview of our Open House & Wedding Show!

Holly & Charlie: Married

noreply@blogger.com (janellebaldwinphotography) — Wed, 10 Oct 2012 15:08:00 +0000

What an AMAZING wedding to photograph!! I am blown away by all of the work this bride and her family put into this wedding! All of the details and decor were to die for, and they were all D.I.Y.. can you believe it? Congrats Holly & Charlie!

I just LOVE seeing weddings covered in images that I've taken :-)

I wasn't very specific when I asked this bridal parting to do this jumping shot for me.... but I am now on calling this one the Jazz Hands Jump.

...captured this moment these two groomsmen seemed to be having...

Love the expression on Holly's face here, as Charlie tells her how much he loves her <3

New Website

noreply@blogger.com (janellebaldwinphotography) — Mon, 17 Sep 2012 20:58:00 +0000

Wondering why there haven't been any recent blog posts?

Apparently building a new website is pretty time consuming... thanks to everyone for being so patient in the process of having our new site up and running! Here it is:

Christy & Chris: Married

noreply@blogger.com (janellebaldwinphotography) — Sun, 02 Sep 2012 07:38:00 +0000

Part I : Photographing this unique ceremony, was such a dream! I absolutely loved the location, and I have never photographed so much raw emotion in a wedding ceremony before. Had to break up this blog post into two parts.. since I'm posting so much! I really wanted to share with all of you the detail as well as emotions captured.

Brides

noreply@blogger.com (janellebaldwinphotography) — Mon, 20 Aug 2012 05:06:00 +0000

I'm half way there... This month is by far the craziest of the year.. in 9 days I will be shooting four newborns, four weddings, one live band... throwing my best friend a baby shower.. and getting my first tattoo! ...of course editing away (somewhere in there)... most likely falling asleep on my desk like I seem to be doing lately.. Here's a sneak peek at one of my STUNNING brides from one of this weekend's weddings :-)

Sam, Kyle & Bean

noreply@blogger.com (janellebaldwinphotography) — Wed, 08 Aug 2012 21:59:00 +0000

Good afternoon! I hope you can all bare with me through this if I sound like I'm repeating myself... I'm still trying to find a balance between what to stop posting on our facebook page.. and leave for the blog! Sooo if you missed the post on my page last week.. it went a little bit like this..

"How did I get so lucky to have such gorgeous friends? Alright on a more serious note- just wanted to say... I am getting ridiculously anxious for the arrival of this baby bean♥ I think Sam Hildebrand was BORN with a natural "mom" instinct.. she has been the most amazing auntie (to my kids) & friend anyone could ask for! There is no doubt in my mind you and Kyle are going to make the BEST parents ever!!!! Love you so much xo"

I am so proud to annouce that Sam & Kyle gave birth to their beautiful daughter Sawyer Bryn Wattam just this past weekend. SOOO very excited to have her in my studio for her newborn session this week!! :-)

Amber & Ben: Married!

Jenn & Brendan: Engaged

noreply@blogger.com (janellebaldwinphotography) — Wed, 18 Jul 2012 02:13:00 +0000

Love this couple! We had to split this session into 2 parts due to the weather not cooperating... but I'm so glad we did! We were able to use a few different locations, and end off our last session with lovely summer haziness :-)

And what better way to end a blog post...

Hope everyone's having a great evening, cheers!!

Career Day

noreply@blogger.com (janellebaldwinphotography) — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 06:20:00 +0000

I have been meaning to work on this project for quite some time now.. Career Day of 2011. So honored that I had two High-schools contact me again, asking if I would be willing to have a few students shadow me again for Career Day. -Of course I would!! Coming from a small town, I love taking part in community events, school projects... I had then decided that I would put together a little project/PhotoShoot for these students. I can't thank enough, everyone who participated and donated their time to contribute to this shoot. Big thanks again to Wendy from Out Of The Blue for letting us use many items from her lovely store to coordinate our wardrobe. As well as Ashley, Lindsey & Victoria for modelling for us. Caitlin, Alicia & Ashley for doing such an amazing job with hair & makeup; and let's not forget Deryn & Riley for assisting me all day long!! Can't thank you all enough & I can only hope that we will have such an amazing team and outcome this year :-)

There are soo many more shots I would LOVE to share with all of you... Stay posted for Career Day Part 2 coming soon!! Cheers xo
