HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY!!! – Celebrate Like A Woman

It’s been just over 100 years since the first International Women’s Day was held in 1911. This is a day where we as women come together and celebrate our rights and who we are.

Worldwide, we should all take a moment and reflect on the many challenges and triumphs we face as women. The power of a woman transcends beyond ethnicity and culture; so let’s now join together to celebrate the women of yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Think on Malala Yousafzai who became the youngest Nobel Peace Prize nominee in history. She bravely jeopardized her own life to stand up for girls’ education. She and other young women like her are nothing short of amazing.

Over the course of this year’s International Women’s Day, let another woman know that you appreciate her.

Be encouraged.
Be inspiring.
Be proud to be a woman.

WE’VE FINALLY UPDATED THE OFFICIAL SITE!

Hello party people! I am SO beyond excited because with the help of you (my clients) and some web hosting knowledge from one of my closest friends/colleagues I know officially own http://www.jocsphotography.com! After 3 years of having an official online site I FINALLY have my own domain! For some this may not be a big whoop, but when you go from having like a billion words in your free-domain name to something simple and sweet — it makes a WORLD of difference! It’s easier to find AND remember (which is exactly what I want). I’m still updating my portfolio, but make sure you check me out RIGHT after reading this!

In other photography news….well not much. haha Since I’ve been named the Creative Director of Our Success Magazine (not sure if I’ve told you guys yet or not, but if not you know now) and contributing for WEEN, my photo shoot booking has been spread out. I usually shoot on weekends now (a few during the week) so my available dates are going fast for Spring 2013. I just recently shot engagment photos for one of my highschool cheer mates (I’ll post a few sneak peeks in the coming weeks) and I’m gearing up to shoot her wedding in April! Also in two weeks I’ll be covering the baby shower of a family friend which should be SO much fun because mom is having TWINS!!!

I’ll be trying to fit some test shoots in and MAYBE have a summer special soon…so keep your eyes peeled!

Peace & Photos,

Happy 11 Months London Marie!

Hey guys! I’ve been super busy this past month with deliveries and scheduling for the rest of the year; but I HAD to drop everything and let you know how excited I am that today, my goddaughter London is 11 months old! Next month she’ll be the BIG 0-1 ! Before her, I never knew that babies could TRULY have personalities, and even though she’s SO young, she has enough personality to fill the entire United States! haha

Take a look at some of the photos I snapped of her when her mom brought her up to visit me this past weekend!! PER-SON-A-LITY!

Have You Ever Seen a 20 Year Old Look 60? — You Have Now!

While perusing the world wide web, I came across this very interesting ‘experiment’. With the help of awesome photography lighting, a skilled 20 yr old model, AND bomb makeup artists — you can see how 1 girl shoots her way through 6 decades of life! Enjoy. ❤

Through The Decades

This beautiful 20 year old model poses through the decades. She poses as if she was 10 years old, 20 years old, 30 years old, 40 years old, 50 years old, and 60 years old.
This would not be possible if it weren’t for the amazing team of make up artists, hair stylists, and of course the different lighting techniques.
