New things ahead

I've decided to give my whole business a complete makeover for our new life in Texas, complete with a new name! I will be starting a new blog for that soon, and hopefully soon after that a new website and gallery!  Stay tuned!! :) 

Starting up in Texas!

Hello! Hope everyone is well. I've taken a few much needed months off from photography to focus on myself and my family, and am ready to get back to work! I am very excited (and slightly nervous) about doing location sessions in the desert and other areas. In the next couple of days I will post new pricing and specials. Check back soon!! :) In the meantime, I will post a photo I took this evening on a walk through the desert with my daughter Kayla. To some people these little trees may seem commonplace, but we found them completely fascinating and so unusual!

Texas here we come!

We leave in May for Texas. I'm going to start a new blog to journey that adventure. 

It has been difficult for me to give up photography, and I am considering- once life settles down and I get my equipment all fixed (that'll take some time!) I am considering starting again down there... but... we'll see. 

Business closing.

I am sad to announce (though it's been coming for a very long time) that I am officially closing the business. My husband just joined the Army and we will be moving fairly soon, and I have had a lot of health issues the past few months that have taken most of my energy. I will consider doing sessions for current/former clients on a case by case basis depending on my availability and health at that time.
I have enjoyed working with you all. Thank you.

2-day Holiday Special!

This amazing sale is only going to be good Thursday and Friday November 6th and 7th. Christmas is coming (I heard "Sleigh Ride" playing at the mall yesterday, so I know it's true!) and of course that means Christmas cards! Ordinarily I design custom Christmas cards for my clients, but face it, custom cards are a luxury that with the way the economy is these days, we can live without. So I am offering a too-good-to-miss two-day special Thursday November 6th and Friday November 7th ONLY! Here it is:

Option 1-
For only $50, you will receive a mini session of your family or your children. This will be done sometime in November on a mutually convenient and weather-permitting day. In addition to the mini session- you will get an online preview album of your images- AND 24 4x6 photos of any one image of your choice to put in your Christmas cards. They can still be customized with a special text if you'd like, such as "Merry Christmas! Love, The Jones family" at no additional charge. Session will last 20-30 minutes or however long it takes to get 4-5 good shots to choose from.

Option 2-
For only $75 you will receive the mini session and online preview album but instead of the 25 4x6 photos you will receive your favorite 2 image files (fully retouched) to print as many as you would like.

Option 3-
For $150 you will receive a full-length session and 20-25 (or as many as we got, if less) fully retouched images for personal reprinting. This session will last about an hour and we usually get 30-40 images to choose from. These will include a variety of whole family, kids together (if applicable), individual kids, etc. Pets welcome (within reason- I won't recommend bringing a cat to the park).

Option 4-
Thanksgiving. I will only do one of these as I really do want to spend some of the day with my family. But for $300 I will come to your home for 1-2 hours on Thanksgiving afternoon and photograph your family gathering. This could include some candid shots in a journalistic way, or individual family groups and one large group photo. I will give you a CD of all the images for your own printing, and will offer discounted wall portrait printing if you would like to have them professionally printed.


THE CATCH (of course there's a catch!)- These sessions must be scheduled and paid for in advance by no later than Friday November 7th at 6:00pm! You can call me at any point during the day Thursday and Friday. If I don't answer leave me a message. I will get you on my list. Due to my limited schedule in November/early December, I can only schedule 4-6 weekend sessions and 10-15 sessions Monday through Wednesday. I do have two of the full sessions available THIS Saturday November 8th- providing it stops raining by then (unless you want to use your house or another indoor location).

Portraits make wonderful Christmas gifts- not to mention the things you could make with a CD of 25 images (a slideshow, mugs, calendars, mouse pads, etc) and you don't have to set foot in a mall or stand in a long line!

Call 425-931-7616 or email jen@jennifereagan.com to schedule your session right away!

Some sneak peeks for mom...

Last week I had the privilege of doing a senior photo session for Dugan, a high school senior in Monroe. He was my first boy senior and it was a lot of fun. I got dirty (which I NEVER do with the girls!) and got to do some shots at the Monroe Fire Department. I thought I would post a few here for mom to see. :)

This was taken at the creek at Eagle Park, shortly before I stepped in a big puddle and consequently had wet squishy feet for the rest of the day.

This was in the doorway of this outbuilding at the park we were at. I liked how it turned out.

On the back of the same building...

I learned that Dugan is an excellent guitar player and got several nice shots of him playing.

I love getting to be creative.

A glimpse

Baby K's family was a former NILMDTS family I did photos for last year and was so happy when they emailed that they were having another little one! We just did her one month session and here are a couple previews for mom and dad. :)



Had to get big brother and sis in on the action too, they were so adorable!
