Flamenco!

Jaclyn Robinson — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 20:01:50 +0000

For all of you that have been waiting for me to upload images from Spain… Thank you for being so patient! This workshop was unbelievable. A completely uplifting life experience. I have so much to share with you.

Here are a just couple of photos that I’ve worked on so far. If you click on them, you can see the larger version. Tons of images will follow. Please stay tuned!

I love this photo.

Just can’t figure out how it looks best. Have an opinion?

Meghan & Michael

Jaclyn Robinson — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 20:34:51 +0000

This wedding was planned to a T!

♥

From flowers and raiment, to locations and entertainment, every element was thought out meticulously. The day was full of beauty, passion, friendships, and love.

Michael and Meghan live in our nation’s capital, but they both were raised (and met) in Northern NY. Naturally, they returned to their roots to celebrate their new beginning, surrounded by friends and family.

The groomsmen were donned in ties of various patterns and shades of green. They were individually chosen, by Michael, as personalized gifts.

The girls were a blast! Each wore a unique gown, accenting their own distinctive charisma.

Charming from head to toe!

Michael and Megan surprised their guests by secretly taking dance lessons. They did a fabulous job! Everyone was truly elated.

For parting gifts, everyone received a baby spruce on the way out. A fantastic gift that keeps on giving!

There were so many great photos, it was very hard for me to pick just a few. I’m still finishing up with this one though. So, don’t be surprised if I post a few more down the line!

Thank you, Michael and Meghan, for your blind trust! Hiring a photographer without meeting in person can be a very nerve racking experience. I am delighted and honored to have been chosen.

Congratulations!

California Dreamin’ – Megan & Steve

Jaclyn Robinson — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 04:55:25 +0000

Last month, I had the pleasure of shooting a west coast wedding!

♥

Steve and Megan live in sunny Southern California.

When Megan contacted me about covering her wedding, I was thrilled! The days could not come fast enough. (What better excuse to squeeze in a little holiday?!) Who doesn’t love the west coast? Although, I admit, this was my first time south of the Bay Area. Everyone has always told me how much nicer it is in Southern California. Now, I understand!

Holding true to character, California delivered an absolutely beautiful day. Intimately set outside at a distant country club, the ceremony was modest and elegant. It was everything a wedding should be.

Thank you so much Megan and Steve! You made me feel like family with all of your hospitality. You know who to call if you ever feel like visiting Virginia Beach! I hope you enjoy your wedding photos for generations to come.

Rita & Andrew – for Scott Robert Photography

Jaclyn Robinson — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 21:54:21 +0000

Anyone who knows me well has most likely heard me rave on and on about Scott Robert Lim.

He is only one of the top-leading wedding photographers in the nation’s industry!

I had the extreme pleasure of shooting alongside (or should I say over-the-shoulder) of him and another colleague during my visit to California last month.

The following are some favorites I shot for Rita & Andrew. Please note that some images (the good ones) were set-up by Scott Robert. I have placed credits below each of those images. If you are interested, I highly suggest that you check out Scott’s website and blog. His creativity has no limits!

Thank you so much Scott, for letting me be a part of Rita & Andrew’s special day! And, thank you to Rita and Andrew too!

Andrew and Rita chose to have a “first viewing” before the ceremony. Here, he anxiously awaits to see his beautiful bride for the first time.

After the first viewing, the bridal party headed out for formal shots.

A break in the shade. That California sun is a scorcher!

Hey! That’s the bride’s parasol!

Andrew, a.k.a. “The Turtle Man”, has an extreme passion for turtles.

There were several tears of joy. A beautiful ceremony.

All of the place cards and tables were marked with a distinctive and unique, rare species of turtle.

Each centerpiece included a photo, taken by Andrew, of one (or, in this case, two) of his most rare turtles. He had personally raised each and every one of them.

The cuff links!

During the reception, the couples played the kissing game. I’ve never seen so many kisses in one day!

Everyone had such an amazing time.

To see more of Rita and Andrew, keep an eye on Scott Robert’s blog!

I lost my password!

Jaclyn Robinson — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 21:46:07 +0000

I knew I wrote them down somewhere. All of the passwords that I continually confuse myself with.

Sometime before the move, which happened months and months ago. (Obviously. Just look at my last post!) I wrote them down in a notebook – that was packed in storage! Go figure.

So, now that I have it back, I have tons and tons of catching up to do. Let alone, I’m sure I’ll have to dig up all of my reliable, old friends.

Thanks for coming back. I’m happy to be home again.

Heading down to VA, GA, AL, and TN for some warm rays!

Jaclyn Robinson — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 22:08:32 +0000

I’m heading down south for a few weeks! I’m so excited. No more waking up to this:

every morning! And, no more going out to this:

everyday. Yay! And, although I might miss this:

a little. I will surely not be gone long enough! Bundle up New York. I will post some picks for you to look at from the warmth of your homes.

See you (too) soon! Take care.

Jackie

P.S. These pics aren’t the best. They were taken with my little point-and-shoot! You get the idea though.

Winter Blah Blues

Jaclyn Robinson — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 00:22:04 +0000

There’s something about living in the North Country during the winter that makes a human want to hibernate.

I suppose it could be caused by the average high temperatures falling in the twenties, thirties on a good day. Or perhaps, it may be because of the indecorous winds that blow through to the bone. Even the thought of making a quick run to the store can sometimes, and lately often, include an extra half hour to shovel the driveway. Again. (It is truly hard to imagine how the pioneers made it through without the comforts of today.)

What, outside of sheer necessity, could make anyone in their right mind want to bear these harsh conditions?

I have repeatedly asked myself this same question. I believe I know the answer.

Passion.

Only something you are truly passionate about could lead you to voluntarily brave such menacing winds and arctic terrain. That would be snowboarding for my husband; sledding for my daughter.

For me, that passion is photography.

I recently coaxed a couple out into the cold. We didn’t stay too long. (It was one of the good days, with a high of 27 degrees, and only slightly blustery.) The skies weren’t exactly what I was hoping for, but I am really happy with the resulting images. Furthermore, they both were extremely overjoyed.

Here are a few of them:

Thank you so much for daring to venture out with me. It was a blast of fresh air.

For everyone else out there, I’d love to hear your reasoning. What is it that you would face the cold for? What is your passion?

Yayee! I finally have a REAL website! It should be up and running in the next couple of days (if not already). I’m REALLY excited about it. I hope all of you like it.

Please check it out. Once you have a sure feeling, please come back here and leave me TONS of feedback! This is the very first attempt at such. So, I seriously need to know everything you’re thinking. No holds bar.

Thank you so much to all of you that helped. You are the best!

Holiday Happiness!

Jaclyn Robinson — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 18:12:23 +0000

Wow! It’s been such a busy couple of months. Hope you all have enjoyed wrapping up 2007. Happy New Year 2008!! I don’t know about you, but I, for one, am ready for it. Bring it on!

I am so excited about so many things for this year ahead of us, both personally and professionally. First thing up on the professional plate, is my brand-spankin’ new website. Yes sir! I have been relentlessly digging through tons of images. Trying to come up with witty ways to display my passion. Let me tell ya, it is quite the time magnet. I just can’t wait to announce the grand opening!

As for the personal side, I am racking my brain (and my friends’) in order to throw my daughter her first really big birthday party. Turning five is such a joyous occasion. She is officially growing up. I lined up a great place for all her friends from school and home to get as loud and crazy as they want. All I’ll have to do is decorate & clean up. (Oh Lord, give me strength!)

The part I’m not too sure about, is figuring out what activities are great for a large crowd of four, five, and six year olds. Any suggestions? Please, please, please help! I figured I’ll set up a piñata. That will get some of the crazies out, right? There will also be kid’s music playing, for all the dancers. Outside of that, I’m stumped. Does anyone out there have any easy and successful stories to share? My daughter sure will appreciate it!

Back to the business side of things, I want to share with you the ad that just ran in the local paper. Did any of you happen to catch it on January 3rd? If not, here’s what you missed:

I’d love to hear what you think. I have to put another one together soon. It will be running in the annual bridal section on January 18th. I’ll probably be asking for your opinion on that one too. ;D

Well, I have to get back to the website construction. I want it up and running well before the next ad runs. Wish me luck!

Cheers to the New Year!
