I’m not an in-between person.  I either think a film is brilliant, or it isn’t.  That a record is either the best I’ve ever heard, or just mediocre.  So, this winter has been a bit of a letdown for me.  No good, major snowstorms – Just overcast, cold days with the occasional flurry.  Last night that all changed, and I woke up this morning to snow everywhere!  The trees look like they shrank in height, everything was covered in that amazing white sparkle snow, and the branches sagged under the weight of it all.  I had to take a photograph today of the snow resting on these small, tiny azalea branches.

I hope you’re all staying safe and warm this weekend, if you’re snowed in like a lot of us are on the East Coast!

It’s been over a year now since Jessica Ames Photography has officially launched. In that short year, my life has been turned upside down. But in the best way possible. In ways that I would have never imagined or hoped for. I’ve met clients that have become some of the most important people in my life. I’ve seen pregnant bellies turn into newborn babies. I’ve cried during some of the most sentimental wedding unions I’ve ever witnessed. I’ve laughed and shared jokes with newly engaged couples who are absolutely glowing with happiness.

The photographs, the clients, this business… It’s a labor of love for us. And that’s why we’ve spent the last four months obsessing over every single detail of launching our new look; the colors, the paper, the typography. We’ve spent so many afternoons with endless cups of tea, talking about how to create what you see now. A heartfelt thanks goes out to the most patient and friendly Ashley, over at the extraordinary Luxecetera, who somehow made all our crazy ideas come to life.

We hope that you love this new look as much as we do. Exciting things are on the horizon for 2010, and we can’t wait to share it all with you!
