SWPPA Competition Print 2011

Score:77

#1 Quarterback in Texas 5A football, and he looks like it!

I spent weeks planning for this image, and was SOOO excited to finally see it in print.

GO WOOD!

Rock. Paper. Scissors


Rock. Paper. Scissors.


SWPPA Competition Print 2011

Score:82

Definite Merit at National Competition

James LOVES to have his hair cut at Floyd's Barbershop at the Domain. I decided to take my camera, as he had gone once before, and the barber was quite memorable.

The image captured was not set up in any way, no direction was given;

it was taken as James sat and enjoyed every minute of all the attention.

This print is a favorite of many, and I may spend the rest of my career trying to create a print with it's emotional appeal, artistry, story, and love.

SWPPA Competition Print 2011

Score: 77

Thank you to Danny Pounds of Pounds Labs, we were both photographing Brad Paisley's Concert at the 2010 Aquapalooza on Lake Travis.

He was a true musician and showman, as he came down the ramp seen at the bottom of the image, and high-fived his fans and asked the lifeguards to sing along.

Concert goers were in swimsuits lounging on tubes and noodles on the shores of Lake Travis.

Everyone was fired up when the first few chords of "WATER" were heard.

What a great experience, and once in a lifetime image!


Measure Twice. Cut Once


Measure Twice, Cut Once.


2011 SWPPA Competition Print
Score:76

This image was captured just after sunset on the course during a senior portrait session.
One would never guess, it is a 12 second exposure, the lights behind the subject are actually me running around him popping the flash to "paint the light" around him.
10 years ago, I glued 4 wallets to 100+ brochures fora professional photographer's program, during which I learned all about how to properly expose then paint with light
to create an image just like this.
If you know me at all, you will know the photographer I speak of.
Thank you Don.

Dreams Realized...

Have you ever looked forward to something for so long, you thought it would NEVER get here?

Today was my day. More specifically 7am today.

I have been trained, taught, and mentored by many outstanding professional photographers in my 8 years of business. I have been involved in photographing sports teams from YMCA, Little League, and high school, but never on my own. Today, many lessons came to a culmination as eighty varsity football players and 15 of their coaches poured into the gym for their large group, special teams, and individual photographs. Followed 20 minutes later by the Junior Varsity Team, then the Freshmen Team.

Thanks to many of my mentors, instructors, friends, and team today, we photographed 200+ high school football players, teams & individuals in 1 hour and 13 minutes. We were home an unpacked by 9:30am.

AND...The pictures look great!

What a FABULOUS day!

Coache's Day

I have declared it Coache's Day today... Not sure when Hallmark says it is, but it is Coache's Day for me! I will photograph 15 coaches and their families in the studio today!

Yes, seams like many, but I am thrilled to support the Westwood Foodball Team and photograph the families to be viewed their website!

What a great day it is~

Shopping, Shopping...A great new prop!

Lots of shopping this weekend, but the best buy was a bright plum baby buggy. IT IS AWESOME!!

This new prop will be great for baby girls who can sit up, from ages 9 months to 2 years. Outrageous outfits welcome!! Call 512-626-3309 or photographybyjennyrhea@hotmail.com to set up a time to come in.

I can't wait to use it in the studio, and I have an idea for a stellar competition print as well... :-) What a fun day!


On the hunt...

Today I am on the hunt for a cool couch or chair for the studio...

Something super cool and unique that I can use for families or high school seniors.

Will be making my way downtown and hit a few second hand stores and such.

If you have any ideas, please email me at photographybyjennyrhea@hotmail.com

Get $50 toward your session if I buy something from your source!

BRAND NEW

Working with a designer to create a new brand that will carry through the different facets of my business and it should be ready soon! Can't wait to show you the "new" ME!

Clients will see this throughout my marketing, signatures, thank you gifts, and maybe on new advertising! Check back soon for updates, and watch the blog transform.



Golf Senior Session



This was a highlight of my week!

Check out this shot from Brian's senior session! We were a bit late getting out to the golf course, but were able to capture exactly what I had imagined. What do you think? Is he PGA bound?

Many thanks to Brian for an awesome senior session!



SENIORS ROCK!

I love my work! Photographing Christopher's senior portraits was such fun, and I was just a little surprised to hear him admit he enjoyed it too!


Take a peak...

The Race is ON!

Photography by Jenny Rhea has open Senior Portrait appointments.

A senior photography session includes the whole enchilada and a boatload of fun. I could say it is limited to 2 hours, 3 sets of clothing changes, indoor only, but its not! I want to photograph your high school senior being THEMSELVES...so we will go the extra mile, literally. We may go out to the lake, or on location. Bring as many clothes as you want, we'll photograph until we have captured the essence of your student and the joy of their senior year.

Be sure to bring at least 3 changes of clothes and any fun items from sports or interests you may be involved in.

Email Jenny at photographybyjennyrhea@hotmail.com to set up an appointment.

Independence Day

A day to recognize those who over 200 years ago took action to live the dream of being free!

Our best to you and your family as you celebrate the Fourth of July!

Welcome to photography by Jenny Rhea

Welcome to my new website! Yes, it is a blog.

For most computer savvy people out there, you may think this inappropriate for a professional photographer. With all awesome choices out there to catch your attention, couldn't I do better?

Here's my argument: In the past 6 years, I have learned that I am not a web designer or html writer, nor do I want to be. I am a professional photographer. I can spend time trying to make my site the coolest, best, competitive site, or I could use my time to hone my skills and stay true to my craft by opening the doors to my creativity through a simple site.

While designing this site, I have you as a client and perhaps reader in mind, and hope that you can enjoy the simplicity of the site, while I enjoy being able to make to share with you the timeline of my creating life stories for my clients.

I pray you see past the design of the site, can appreciate the art of photography by Jenny Rhea.
