New Studio Space, Year 2020, + the Pargeon Family | Granville, Ohio Photographer

New year, new goals.

New year, new resolutions.

Can I get an amen?!

I started the new year out planning for 2020. I love the saying, “Failing to plan is planning to fail!”. This is 100% true. So this year, I made sure I have plans, processes, and procedures in place for my businesses so I don’t loose my mind.

Also with this new year comes…drum roll please… A NEW STUDIO!!!!!

Friends, I am so excited to share this space with you. Since I don’t have all the furniture and decor and everything set up, I haven’t filmed a tour. That is coming hopefully this month. Maybe next.

BUT I did want to share a family portrait session that I did in the new studio. I loved getting to meet Jennifer and her kids. We had so much fun at our session plus I am in love with the quality that I am able to produce in the new studio.

Here is a peek into their session:

Lots of content coming your way in 2020! If you need a portrait session, head over to the contact me page and let’s connect!

Stay fabulous,

Lilly Snyder | Hilliard Bradley High School | Dawes Arboretum + Studio

Lilly was a dream to photograph. She was so photogenic. She really wanted different poses and so I was able to really step outside my box and try some new things and we got some FABULOUS shots!!!

It is clients like this who inspire me and keep pushing me. I dearly love the opportunities being a photographer has given me!

Need to book your senior portraits, slide into my inbox at jdawnphotography@yahoo.com!

Stay fabulous,

Aker Family Pictures & Paislee's 3 Month Session {Newark, Ohio Photographer}

   Time passes so quickly and the older I get the faster it disappears. It's already May and time is marching on. Before I know it, I'll be shooting Fall pictures {not to rush things}. Today I wanted to share the sweet Akers family pictures and Paislee's 3 month pictures. I met Amber when I shot her maternity session last year and I love getting to work with her family. 

   I shot her Mom and siblings a couple years ago and I didn't even know they were related when I first met her. It really is a small world after all! 

Stay Fabulous,

Janessa Dawn 

Brandon Vaughn {Senior Session} Central Ohio

I made it. I made it through Real Estate school. Honestly, that is exciting to me but the hard part isn't over yet. I have to pass a National and State exam in order to be licensed so I still have a lot of studying to do. Seeing my certificates make me proud. I love, love, love owning my own business so having a real estate and photography business is going to be challenging but hopefully rewarding. I have new ideas that I want to try and find new ways to grow both of my businesses. 

Today I wanted to blog Brandon's first half of his senior session. He needed a yearbook photo so we did his studio portion and when we get a good snow, we will go outdoors to his outdoor location and get some awesome shots. We are waiting on this crazy Ohio weather. Here are some pictures from his studio session. I love my High School Seniors! 

Until next time,

Janessa Dawn

Abby Reed- Ohio High School Senior Photography {Dawes Arboretum, Newark, OH}

  I love to shoot high school seniors. The thing I love about it is I only have one person to pose and I have more freedom to try new poses. I don't want all my sessions to look alike and so I try to think of new ideas and posing to mix it up.  Last year I had the privilege to shoot Abby's senior pictures out at Dawes Aboretum. She did a fabulous job in front of the camera. One of my favorite spots that we shot from this session was the field of yellow flowers. Abby was not too sure about that but she went along with it and ended up liking them :) Check out some pictures from her session below!

Stay Fabulous, Abby!
