Heart of it all Photography bio picture

  • Heartfelt Welcome!!

    Hello! This is me! I started my photography business in Turkey. I had a love for photography and had some wonderful friends willing to sit in front of my lens while I learned more about my style of photography. I wanted something to watermark my images, so I went with the basic plan ... initials. m.j.c. photography.

    To this day, I still like the simplicity of the name, but there are so many people with the same initials and already branded their photography in that way.

    A few months back I attended a Shot Party in St. Louis. I heard 2 of my favorite photographers speak at this conference, Bobbi + Mike. They were awesome, just like I knew they would be. They spoke of making memories or heirlooms for people. That one day their client's great grand children would look back at their photography and see them as they were when they were young, free, in love ...

    They didn't necessarily say something that I didn't already know, but they said it in a new way. In a way that just struck me ... this is ALL about the client. These pictures showcase the LOVE people have for each other. Whether they are engagement , a newborn baby , family pictures, senior pictures, it doesn't matter. The person (or people) in front of the lens is the HEART of a family.

    I went home that night thinking ... and thought some more ...

    Then I thought, the heart of it all ... is YOU!

    I promise that when we're together for a photo shoot ... you're my family. We aren't going to just sit in front of the lens and smile. We are going to go out and have fun! We are going to pretend that you are in a reality TV show and YOU are the star. We're going to photograph you having fun with your family or significant other. We are going to have an amazing time together and make memories that you will keep forever.

Project 52 : Treasure

Monday, May 20, 2013 Posted inProject 52

Week 20 | Treasure

Every time we get the chance to be together, we take a 4 Generation picture. My Grandma, my Mom, myself, and my Sweet Pea. I truly treasure every time we get together and will cherish these pictures forever.

This picture wasn’t taken by me, so that’s why I don’t have this one highlighted for this week’s theme. But this is one of the BEST pictures I have of my sweet family. It was taken on my baby’s 2nd birthday and was also Mother’s Day. I seriously treasure this beautiful shot.

Project 52 : Two

Monday, May 20, 2013 Posted inProject 52

Week 19 | Two

My Sweet Pea is about to turn two!! This week’s theme is two! What are the odds?? Well … actually … I had the chance to pick this week’s theme. So yeah, I kinda leaned it that way.  :)

This week didn’t fall exactly on my daughter’s birthday, but it did fall on her birthday party! We had a TON of kids. It was a crazy few hours and so much fun. After the kids left, we were left with family. My husband’s family was in town, as well as my mother and Grandmother. We had a lovely and quiet dinner, followed with cake and ice cream.

After singing and blowing out her candles, she didn’t ask for cake. She asked for ‘more candles?’ I think she blew out her candles 4 times before the wax was too low!!:) Happy Birthday Sweet Pea!

Hi Friends – I’m sooo far behind on Project 52 and I need to do a blog with the incredible cuties I’ve photographed last month. Oh boy, that sounds bad. Last month. Where is time going???

It’s been an insane few weeks. I’ve had crazy back to back to back weeks and weekends.  Including Mother’s Day and my baby girl’s 2nd birthday! Which … happen to fall on the same day this year.:)

My mother and Grandmother have been in town for the last week.  Then over the weekend my husband’s entire family came to celebrate with us as well! It’s been a great time with lots of friends and family … it also means a lot of pictures and running behind!!

I promise to catch up soon … but for now I wanted to leave you with one quick shot. My hubby took this for me on Mother’s Day.:)

Project 52 : Countdown

Monday, April 29, 2013 Posted inProject 52

Week 17 | Countdown

The first thing that came to my mind is my calendar. I have a lot of fun stuff coming up and I’m so excited!

On the 4th I am doing a 1 on 1 workshop with the talented Anne Meintrup Photography.

My mom and Grandma arrive for Abby’s birthday!

The 11th is my baby girl’s 2nd birthday party. Lots of good friends and family will be traveling to IL to celebrate with us.

The next day is my sweet baby’s actual birthday … and Mother’s Day!

Then on the 18th is our family pictures with my good friend and neighbor, Carlin Fisher Photography!! I’ve been working out, whitening my teeth, and growing my hair out for this session. It’s going to be awesome!

So … back to project 52. I took a couple snap shots of my calendar. Not a fan. I took pictures of different things that represented those events. My daughter’s invite, my new outfit for pictures, etc … but didn’t like any of those either.

Then today I got my daughter out of the tub, she wanted to be ‘baby’ … meaning wrapped up in a towel and snuggled. I’m sitting on the couch snuggling her, giving her Eskimo kisses and just thinking about the last 2 years. In her sweet soft voice she asks,’okay Mommy?’ I wanted to cry. Yes, I’m great baby girl. I just can’t believe how quickly you’re growing up.

This is one of the takes from her 2 year photo shoot.

Check out Nicole Defilippis Photography for their take on the subject!
