Jasmine Photography bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

Photography is my passion, my drive, my way of expressing myself. I love and appreciate many different mediums of art such as print making and sculpture but for me, photography is my chosen form of art. From capturing beautiful details on a wedding gown to a moment of laughter between friends, every click of the shutter creates a lasting memory. The images below are how I see people, objects and places through a lens. Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy!

Clayton + Heidi’s Engagement Session

Clayton & Heidi are getting close to their wedding day, August 14th. They are both friends of mine and I was excited to have the opportunity to photograph their engagement and soon their wedding day. Both were nervous to have their picture taken, Clayton ended up being more nervous than Heidi! Most people are because they don’t like other images that family or friends have shot of them. This is totally understandable. So we kept the shoot fun & relaxed, like I always do:)  We had a great time shooting at Cathedral Park despite the rain that started as soon as I was heading out to the shoot. It was raining the whole session but they were troopers with the icky weather and did a great job. It’s a great location in St. John’s. Here are some of my favorite’s from their shoot. Enjoy and I’ll see you two soon!

Emily + Nate Maternity Images

I was excited to hear from Emily when she contacted me to take pictures of her pregnancy. I photographed their wedding 3-4 years ago. (they’ll have to correct me on the exact number of years:) We set up a time and all they said is that they wanted an urban backdrop. Great! I absolutely love shooting urban images so we headed down to the Pearl District. I was happy they brought a few outfit changes, always good and fun for the session, these two are just too cute for words! They did great in front of the camera and I think Nate was really getting into modeling toward the end! The next day Emily found out she had to go in to have the baby so we shot them just in time! Congrats to both of you on your newest addition to the family. Enjoy some of my fav’s from their shoot!

Spring Wisconsin Visit

I flew home in April to surprise my dad for his 60th birthday. It was a really fun trip and it’s always good to go home and see family & friends. I always make sure to block out time to drive around with my dad to take pictures of the landscape and old, worn down buildings, cars etc. This takes me back to before I became a professional photographer and would just wonder around all afternoon exploring Door County and photographing my finds. I have always been drawn to gritty, dirty and rusty textures on buildings & cars but I also appreciate the simple and beautiful landscape that my home town has to offer. On this trip I saw more wildlife in a week than I remember seeing growing up there! I saw turkeys grazing on the side of the road, some hawks and four snakes. I almost stepped on a snake while walking to take a picture. I screamed out loud and jumped back when I saw him! Here are some images from my trip. Enjoy!

Hey, all these images are copyright Jasmine Photography 2010. Don’t steal them…it’s bad karma!
