The couple said their I dos and threw a fabulous bash at the Blue Dress Barn in Millburg, Michigan near St. Joseph four years ago. We've had the privilege of watching their family grow as they've had two beautiful little girls which you may have seen baby sessions on our blog previously.<br /><br /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" width="400" height="266" align="" src="http://www.zenfolio.com/zf/code/slideshow/embedded.swf" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"wmode="transparent" allowFullScreen="false" flashvars="id=917882754&background=0xf5f5f5&delay=2&transition=4&loop=1&random=0&allowfs=0&allowthumbs=1&showlink=0&allowtitles=0&showtitles=0&autostart=1&allowtopbar=0&allowcontrols=1&transparent=1&loop_music=1&frame=0xcccccc&preloader=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.zenfolio.com%2Fzf%2Fcode%2Fslideshow%2F002.swf&preloader_params=color%3D0xffffff"></embed>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330762761360885391.post-9232931918747321372010-04-25T10:19:00.002-04:002010-04-25T10:27:29.176-04:00Celebrate Mothers Day with Tulip Time Pictures<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPiXSPLGEabC7S-vZdwDhMrSBIR70vfDDKGIzhB-VZoozhy1zIc2wAtaD-du6zb82pLMtO8H-iJCWdPOaEsXkDJQG0V_wJA9VLYndoyLGgpBjTla9Gjm8t15_1TZ7VN30MiEIQ-YsHg7k/s1600/TulipTime-PicsOnly-400px.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 312px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPiXSPLGEabC7S-vZdwDhMrSBIR70vfDDKGIzhB-VZoozhy1zIc2wAtaD-du6zb82pLMtO8H-iJCWdPOaEsXkDJQG0V_wJA9VLYndoyLGgpBjTla9Gjm8t15_1TZ7VN30MiEIQ-YsHg7k/s400/TulipTime-PicsOnly-400px.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464081489410899234" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Join us on Sunday, May 2 and Saturday May 8 for Tulip Time Pictures.

We photographed Caroline and Phil's wedding at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart the summer before last. Having spent several years on Notre Dame's campus, I am very familiar with just how beautiful the campus really is. Notre Dame has a great mix of stunning architecture and natural greenscapes. From the magnificence of the Basilica to the intimate and reflective setting of the Grotto there is always a unique location to photograph at Notre Dame. Or if you’re an animal lover the Saint Mary’s Lake is always packed with some very friendly ducks that will gladly stop over and quack for a picture. Caroline and Phil's reception was held at the beautiful Tippecanoe Place Restaurant in downtown South Bend.<br /><br />Be sure to check out our <a href="http://www.facebook.com/jennifermayostudios">facebook fan page</a> to see even more images from Caroline and Phil's Notre Dame wedding.<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifQGPr5eqOK9yGCULkP7XmBmUZ9meQ8Zc9wXPLhU59hyyNv-lkn6yK9s4q_XEHDZAp6FXGxkdVWbnIw4BymXcYDWtqw27MkR9pjqw2oyM0TM2x4N1K6ux5lzaOrP5A6XMleYWATH575fg/s1600-h/080726-Wed-0192-0254-AR-MS.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

If you're a parent or grandparent of young children and local to the St. Joseph, Michigan area, you'll want to be sure not to miss our Spring Mini Portrait Sessions. We're now scheduling mini sessions for the coming weeks. There are several themes to pick from including rides on the Silver Beach Carousel, lillipop kids and tiny dancers. We don't offer our discounted mini sessions very often and moving into the busy summer season, you probably won't see the opportunity again anytime soon.

If you didn't happen to get one in the mail, here's one of our pictures. Although I sometimes complain that my own children do not cooperate when I'm taking their pictures at all, those are really some of the best moments that I will always cherish. Forget about looking at the camera and smiling... those pictures are totally over-rated. Never delete the pictures you have of your kids just being themselves. We plan to show this one to Sydney and Max when they are teenagers and probably not getting along as well as they do now.<br /><br />Happy Holidays from all of us at Jennifer Mayo Studios!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330762761360885391.post-22093337312225712392009-12-17T23:19:00.002-05:002009-12-17T23:32:19.488-05:00The Wait is Over - Silver Beach Carousel & Ballroom<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVsYwIBQJuCXqvkaiX6xfg9CUl89DET2utGc9-uAgCTINFz4rbZRSqcblHl-Jn6l68IG56Y8fCroswQL7tsf09c3Muei-sGR1fvuXuiN25dhgj2om6MknSSeqc38jrguVo_K9Cy-3RvOw/s1600-h/SilverBeachCarousel-9321-AR-MedRes.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVsYwIBQJuCXqvkaiX6xfg9CUl89DET2utGc9-uAgCTINFz4rbZRSqcblHl-Jn6l68IG56Y8fCroswQL7tsf09c3Muei-sGR1fvuXuiN25dhgj2om6MknSSeqc38jrguVo_K9Cy-3RvOw/s400/SilverBeachCarousel-9321-AR-MedRes.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416427012422062594" border="0" /></a><br />That's right, it's finally here... the Shadowland Ballroom and Carousel at Silver Beach are finally here. Tonight, I had the honor of attending the dedication ceremonies and even got to ride the Carousel myself. It's been a long time coming and was really breathtaking to see everything up and running in person. The Carousel is magnificent, the Ballroom is beautiful and the Curious Kids Discovery Zone will be a real treat for all of the local children (and their parents) in the area. The St. Joseph, Michigan facility will be open to the general public starting January 2. Carousel tokens are available as stocking stuffers at a discount (I bought 24!). I think you can get them at the Curious Kids Museum if you're interested.<br /><br />We're looking forward to our 2010 weddings at the Shadowland Ballroom and to having even more fun riding the Carousel and visiting the Curious Kids Discovery Zone... even more reasons to visit St. Joseph.<br /><br />More to come... we'll be at the New Year's Eve gala at the Ballroom.... I'm sure it will be a New Year to remember.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA6wR3DMI_0kBNnoE1JuoZ51uU4-Rn_xOEx7sDWrJMVElgznmPwSyspVd8rxxOL7rKQkgkiVhIml3uu2B8s2R3Cr0aqjIpDJKmBV-QJof2z2mWgmcwupgCHxnGqwlQ-UVca8OrGJQZ2FY/s1600-h/_MG_9336-AR.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA6wR3DMI_0kBNnoE1JuoZ51uU4-Rn_xOEx7sDWrJMVElgznmPwSyspVd8rxxOL7rKQkgkiVhIml3uu2B8s2R3Cr0aqjIpDJKmBV-QJof2z2mWgmcwupgCHxnGqwlQ-UVca8OrGJQZ2FY/s400/_MG_9336-AR.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416427006515305442" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkO1_QEFF9QSzdmRtQ7WVr9AjoaPgaweycGWW1DkkPkEiwX074b9Pk9_4WV0-X1SBVUbiqCp4nBaZsIWhYHG6FiRatqQxoHRZ7GKb5nzr7ae1NOeIVjeFKVwqHxPd1dT0DC9qDURXedS8/s1600-h/_MG_9368-AR.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkO1_QEFF9QSzdmRtQ7WVr9AjoaPgaweycGWW1DkkPkEiwX074b9Pk9_4WV0-X1SBVUbiqCp4nBaZsIWhYHG6FiRatqQxoHRZ7GKb5nzr7ae1NOeIVjeFKVwqHxPd1dT0DC9qDURXedS8/s400/_MG_9368-AR.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416426744486311266" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgVCstcT7oK2SopVYP53rM22UJNDiWNe_kSJIH8GkEbnNNcZB1_tAkbDA_uRcJtPO5mI5WM4ysKrMWdqweuwN_aKMUNokclnz2YIxIxd-Xa07zsl1hXSKu8VY5mwJfZ06X4ZFxZA4RSKE/s1600-h/_MG_0173-AR.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgVCstcT7oK2SopVYP53rM22UJNDiWNe_kSJIH8GkEbnNNcZB1_tAkbDA_uRcJtPO5mI5WM4ysKrMWdqweuwN_aKMUNokclnz2YIxIxd-Xa07zsl1hXSKu8VY5mwJfZ06X4ZFxZA4RSKE/s400/_MG_0173-AR.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416426739890759378" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBeOC5r4eeFP6bCQAaKIZyu72yvbRyRkxnRkWaBGRX820XC-9isAj4Z9FdV2Hfd8rRgd0LaHDAI9j1BfJdFAL5sXzE4CemAE0CR0VbGf_dEmYa_FzwMGw4M7tkWonHURfnadxbp4Un9us/s1600-h/_MG_0156-AR.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBeOC5r4eeFP6bCQAaKIZyu72yvbRyRkxnRkWaBGRX820XC-9isAj4Z9FdV2Hfd8rRgd0LaHDAI9j1BfJdFAL5sXzE4CemAE0CR0VbGf_dEmYa_FzwMGw4M7tkWonHURfnadxbp4Un9us/s400/_MG_0156-AR.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416426731819280994" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE2z8TFB-e9fkM8A7sBEy_r9wUv8D1etIQarLXwvVFwVX5YvIQDvXMb9a76J5YnXEy8d4QR5-ZahEW4JCU-lXC5L4nhtTooveXEF38dOIwvgHyznwVinAJGD3cH3qZOaxeNyGjhRSOL40/s1600-h/_MG_0089-AR.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE2z8TFB-e9fkM8A7sBEy_r9wUv8D1etIQarLXwvVFwVX5YvIQDvXMb9a76J5YnXEy8d4QR5-ZahEW4JCU-lXC5L4nhtTooveXEF38dOIwvgHyznwVinAJGD3cH3qZOaxeNyGjhRSOL40/s400/_MG_0089-AR.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416426725438625922" border="0" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330762761360885391.post-34950670059967601412009-12-08T14:41:00.007-05:002009-12-08T14:50:58.009-05:00Silly Hats!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDJ6CsyIbKJ2LAyP97AblRNfOaUT7X1eagiUf5kf8UEyC_Tp6oG_YSv3-zg502qHSK8KmkJ15lHX0BuJLJnTkttIbxwWZ9qlmR8c0ORzeuj738bZQnpx0S4MsI7aI8V3ccQMzUC83gC-E/s1600-h/091205-Hartman-090-AR.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDJ6CsyIbKJ2LAyP97AblRNfOaUT7X1eagiUf5kf8UEyC_Tp6oG_YSv3-zg502qHSK8KmkJ15lHX0BuJLJnTkttIbxwWZ9qlmR8c0ORzeuj738bZQnpx0S4MsI7aI8V3ccQMzUC83gC-E/s400/091205-Hartman-090-AR.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412955176296517506" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Many thanks to the families who participated in our Limited Edition Silly Hats Sessions on Saturday.

Some of you may remember big sister Adelaide's one-year pictures from last spring. Adelaide's baby sister, Lorelei, has arrived and she is just precious. We were so happy to have her in the studio today. We photographed mom and dad's wedding several years ago at the Blue Dress Barn in Millburg just outside of St. Joseph, Michigan a few years ago and have been along for the journey with each new addition to the family. What a treat it is to watch the little ones grow. Thanks again to the whole family for a fun newborn and family session and for making the trip from the Grand Rapids area.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuK9iuFL3w4tayUoiT4qutJqFLXxH8TxD4V7Q89NrSLVrqnUN7XYlREiEs74Og05LNZ6vO9lVCcT9Sj7DW9b7plJIWIogS8Bc7YvYBuKabgt1xdSRxYCmDnVm-EMsfZJLJI0oFJNEeNVs/s1600-h/091114-Lorelei-71-192-AR.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Sessions will be scheduled over several days at the beginning of the month and prints will be available in time for Christmas gifts. The Silly Hats sessions are great for newborns to school age kids, but we can even do them with the whole family.

We're still putting some finishing touches on it, but I must say it turned out very nice. Hugs and kisses for my hubby for building the wall and platform, and painting them, and installing them, and hanging the LCD display... ok, I guess you get the idea. Be sure to swing by periodically as we'll be updating the LCD presentation with new images including some from our upcoming Silly Hats sessions next month not to mention some gorgeous beach weddings we photographed right in St. Joe this summer.<br /><br />Be sure to stop by Kilwins while you're downtown for some excellent icecream. It's never too cold for icecream, but they have fantastic fudge and candies too.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330762761360885391.post-31986652630080270782009-06-18T14:01:00.001-04:002009-06-18T14:03:54.376-04:00Congratulations Danielle & Aaron<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVh8sZfQAevWrDCIr0c85OhSpqT1EEQe4IJX6SysHyAS2PdnImzv-t-OZNtoJNH5T7OrgE5Bjb3xOTsl-td_z7itCAqigYFD_RigrBTiQ1OaUERnY5JDMCxYq2bUGEc5fGe44bIa-od7M/s1600-h/090530-Wed-0648-1200-AR-BBGG.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVh8sZfQAevWrDCIr0c85OhSpqT1EEQe4IJX6SysHyAS2PdnImzv-t-OZNtoJNH5T7OrgE5Bjb3xOTsl-td_z7itCAqigYFD_RigrBTiQ1OaUERnY5JDMCxYq2bUGEc5fGe44bIa-od7M/s400/090530-Wed-0648-1200-AR-BBGG.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348729517078662626" border="0" /></a>Congratulations to Danielle and Aaron who tied the knot in Lansing, Michigan on May 30th!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330762761360885391.post-67480714574120637502009-06-17T12:22:00.004-04:002009-06-17T12:28:00.252-04:00Veils & Vows Cover<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg520VUlIQ-8_j2EbBpQnOeLTYaM7m5t8Q1AOi14KKMn0BEcCAGwzsNpRbWwiO-b_9us-TKIZWw6LwIzHOr1lFlC6Q4BsB8lIL7I-4GSphLt8W4jVBa9BEFkCGRlCKT7M1MXFSRWcNlyic/s1600-h/VeilsVowsCover-Sum09.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 397px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg520VUlIQ-8_j2EbBpQnOeLTYaM7m5t8Q1AOi14KKMn0BEcCAGwzsNpRbWwiO-b_9us-TKIZWw6LwIzHOr1lFlC6Q4BsB8lIL7I-4GSphLt8W4jVBa9BEFkCGRlCKT7M1MXFSRWcNlyic/s400/VeilsVowsCover-Sum09.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348332858396399410" border="0" /></a>Be sure to pick up a copy of the summer issue of Veils and Vows if you live in the Michiana area or review it online <a href="http://www.michianaveilsandvows.com/" target="__blank">here</a>.

For any of you who have talked or emailed with me in the past week-and-half, you probably already know that my computer crashed for no terribly good reason. Back in February, in need of either buying new systems or seriously upgrading our existing ones, we opted to buy brand new Windows machines, and it seems that most come installed with Windows Vista... my advice if you're thinking of making the leap from XP to Vista anytime soon is don't! We decided to purchase new computers 2 months before wedding season really took off in order to hopefully have everything up and running very smoothly in time for the rush, but I apparently get to start over now.<br /><br />That's all for my rant on Microsoft for now, but this does lead me to a very important related subject that I am rarely asked about by couples getting ready to tie the knot and that is data back-ups. The number one, most important thing we do at the studio, and I will admit it is probably the most tedious, boring part of our jobs, is backing up data. And when we're done backing up the data, we back it up again. And when we're done backing up the back-ups, we check all the back-ups to make sure they backed up correctly. It's time consuming, and it's expensive, but it is THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF MY JOB. I suppose with portrait photography, it may not be as critical, but I cannot ask someone to redo their wedding should something go wrong and we lose their image files. Well, I guess I could, but I'm guessing they might ask me to foot the bill for throwing another expensive party. Consequently, I consider our back-up procedure to be a worthwhile investment.<br /><br />So when you're considering which wedding photographer to hire to document your once-in-a-lifetime event, remember to ask if and how your photographer backs up your images. Keep in mind when considering cost, too, that back-ups when done thoroughly, can be a time-intensive operation that is likely figured into your package cost.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330762761360885391.post-88623290526153690362009-04-05T16:08:00.007-04:002009-04-05T17:19:07.913-04:00Wedding Day Magazine Feature : Lissa & Clayton<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1avMb80kGQhFO0_M6t8PNQoc8u1H1ac6op8mxULBZIdzuk-uZ6vwNKll8O4o9yyimw-UV5sh8Rga8aqJCxFJ2y-esLx1VsuRrJT5UNid-ANcrBkC8zYypXS3Ux3MNlAa5C94bPyMNcZk/s1600-h/080712-Wed-715-1203.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1avMb80kGQhFO0_M6t8PNQoc8u1H1ac6op8mxULBZIdzuk-uZ6vwNKll8O4o9yyimw-UV5sh8Rga8aqJCxFJ2y-esLx1VsuRrJT5UNid-ANcrBkC8zYypXS3Ux3MNlAa5C94bPyMNcZk/s400/080712-Wed-715-1203.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321306194139982258" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh44qccL-Ff9ljy-mGefpuZ9Y2hXuvb7dRAsE_X9ruYjnCl6CtpFZ81nRyyE-KTFdic7s9efrQoz0hnFMaRPL4s0HWCROdtcuuLu-l9kWAldIWqybEIM46FK7kDyF6HdOg38_PhGgzA57E/s1600-h/BillMacGregorWed-3pgLayout.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 174px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh44qccL-Ff9ljy-mGefpuZ9Y2hXuvb7dRAsE_X9ruYjnCl6CtpFZ81nRyyE-KTFdic7s9efrQoz0hnFMaRPL4s0HWCROdtcuuLu-l9kWAldIWqybEIM46FK7kDyF6HdOg38_PhGgzA57E/s400/BillMacGregorWed-3pgLayout.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321302070964128482" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">No detail was spared for Lissa and Clay Bill's fabulous wedding in downtown South Bend, Indiana.
