I had a shoot a few days ago with one of the people that works for the Mostly Mutts organization. After I photographed her cute dogs, I took a few shots of two puppies that will need a home in 5 weeks. They are 3 weeks old and are currently in Foster Care. If you are interested in adopting them check out the Mostly Mutts website…they are part of the “Law Enforcement” puppies.
- Oh my goodness, I just had to muffle a squeal in my cubicle!! They are too cute. The one on the right looks just like a tiny little skunk!
- I know! They are about the size of a guinea pig too!!
- Oh mah gawd.......nothing like a cute little itty bitty puppy.......
Hi everybody! I’ve upgraded my camera to the Canon 5D Mark II so I no longer need my canon 5D. So, I thought I would offer it to ya’ll first. It is a great camera and I shot almost everything on my website with it…it’s sad to part with it…but I don’t need 2 cameras. Here is the breakdown:
Canon 5D body
4 batteries
2 chargers
Camera manual
$1299
Let me know if you’re interested!
- It's SOLD!!
He loves watching everybody walk their dogs down the street…he growls and mumbles the whole time. What a silly, little man.
- I miss your updated postings--when can we have the pleasure?
Here is a glimpse of every shoot I had in 2009…I’ve included every dog, baby, newborn, family, child and dog I worked with. It’s fun to see a recap like this, I can’t wait to see what 2010 brings!
- Jess, Your work makes me smile!
- you are so talented. i love looking at all your work!!!
- You are so talented :)
- Ernie with antlers!?! Who could resist? :) What a great recap, looks like it was a fantastic year!
- Ernie looks adorable!! I wish he liked me :). Hope to see you soon!!
- what a great recap! I will have to remember this for the future.. if I ever have more than one client per year haha.. just curious.. is the vertical shot with the toddler in the white shirt standing on a rock with his dog... is that a vizsla that's just gone "a bit" gray? Hope 2010 is great for you!
Paxton is the first newborn of the new year. He was the BEST baby during our shoot because he slept the whole time. His parents had this awesome glass dish that they wanted to use and of course I love it when parents have awesome ideas like that The key to keeping a newborn asleep during a shoot is to keep them VERY warm. His mom was so smart because she had the dish wrapped in an electric blanket so it would be nice and toasty when we sat him in. Brilliant!
- Hey, I just wanted to let you know that you did an awesome job shooting my nephew Paxton. The pictures were really good. I do IT for a couple of photographers around town who are really pretty good. However, I was really impressed by the photos and the music you set the slide show too. Also who is the musical talent you have playing in the background? Well thanks again, Judd
- Just wanted to say the photos turned out awesome! We really enjoyed working with you and found you so down to earth. We feel very lucky to have you to photograph Paxton's first year. Looking forward to getting together soon. In the meantime, we're staying warm with your heater. LOL. Thanks, Courtney (Paxton's Mom)
- AWESOME shot.. love the prop.. love the light, great warmth going on. he is a perfect fit..
I’m going to a baby workshop out in San Diego the beginning of February and when I get back I want to photograph a bunch of newborn babies (under 10 days old) using all of my new techniques. So, if you or someone you know is due in February or March please let me know. Each baby will get a 1 hour session and 8×10 print. There is a big bonus if someone has twins or triplets It’s very important that each newborn is under 10 days old!! Just email me at jess@jesskamm.com so we can chat about when you’re due and get something tentative on the calendar….I’m flexible because due dates aren’t always right. Don’t wait long to contact me, I only have 7 spots available!
- I am very interested. I am due March 7th(with a girl) and currently have been looking for someone to do my newborn photo shoot. Do you have props (tutus, hats, blankets, etc) or will I need to find these? Additionally, what do you charge for the cd of the images? The announcements that I really want to do needs 3 pictures. Thanks!!
- Hi there, I am due February 9th with a boy - let me know if you need another baby model!
- I am due Feb 22 with a boy. I would love to participate.
- Hi, My friend Kristen Hall gave me the information. I am due Feb. 17th if you still have times available. Thanks Natalie
Aren’t they a cute bunch? This was my first time shooting a family with 2 sets of twins, wow! We shot this in December and it was coooold outside, but thankfully all the kids were great sports about it…even the twin babies. Here’s a breakdown of their ages: Caley Anne (11), Abigail Rae (10), Jacob Austin and Zachary Cole (9), Jagger Rhys and Macey Brooke (8 mo.) I think we’re planning to do another shoot in the spring when it’s warmer outside and the twins can walk
- How cute! I guess twins run in the family! Love the clothing coordination....not too matchy but just right!
Frank’s dad emailed me a couple days ago to let me know that Frank passed away from chronic kidney failure. I was so sad to hear this…he was such a sweet, old man. I never shared much from that family sesssion…but here are some cute one’s of Frank.
Frank is on the far right.
Frank is on the far left.
- Oh Jess that's so horribly sad. Thank God you took some beautiful pictures for them so they can have cherish them forever. He was such a beautiful boy.
- Hi- This is Frank's family. Last week was really hard for us as we lost our good friend...Frankie. This was the most wonderful dog. All he wanted to do in life was to please and be our best friend. While we're happy and blessed with our two other Golden's (Bailey & Abby)...Frankie was indeed one of a kind and will be sadly missed. All three of our Golden's are rescue dogs from Adopt-A-Golden Atlanta (a wonderful organization). They were dogs that other people didn't want and were in a shelter with an uncertain future. The only comfort in losing Frank is knowing that we gave him the best final years of his life. We were always "mugging" on that cute face all the time. We're so happy that we met Jess and had her do our Christmas cards and family photo prior to losing Frankie. We will cherish the pictures forever.
- Love, love, love these pictures! What a fabulous way to pay tribute to who seems to be an amazing and loving doggie. The third one is definitely my favorite. I read Frank's story on Adopt a Golden Atlanta's website and it's so sad... but also so wonderful that the family had the time they had together. RIP, sweet Frank.
- Your Goldens are Beauitful. I have 3 Goldens Bailey Bella and Sadie. Goldens are so special. they give so much love. The pictures of the 3 on the lawn is so cute. My son lives in Ga and he rescue 2 goldens. Buster and Jersey. We are retiring to Ga in 10 Months and hope to volunteer for AGA Soon. Thanks for the Pictures of your Goldens.
- Sorry for your lost. The pictures are beauitful. Frankie was a cutie. RIP Frankie. Your other Goldens are beauitful also.
January and February are my least favorite months, yuck, so boring and cold! So, I decided to put together a collage of all things orange that inspire me…and things I just WANT. My favorite item of all on this list is the orange couch, wow…no room for it right now! I found all of these items at Tory Burch, Jonathan Adler (my new favorite store in the whole world), Etsy, Anthropologie, Nordstrom and Kate Spade.
- I just love all your choices--reminds me of one of your best friends in high school-Katherine Strode. Remember when we would go shopping we would always think of Katherine when we saw something in orange? Trivia question...do you remember that cute little orange leather item for "feminine needs" that we saw in a shop in...was in France? Keep up the creative work--I love it! Mom
- haha, I have no idea what you are referring to in France! But, I'm glad you like the collage.
- Yay!!! I can finally see it. LOVE everything. I'll take one of each, thank you! :)
