A new adventure
It’s been decidedly quiet over here on Jen Barnes Photo for a pretty good reason. I’ve been dividing my eggs into two baskets, so to speak. Jen Barnes Photo will stick around to handle Family, Events, and OpLove sessions, but I’m giving the Senior Portraits a new home. I wanted a name that wouldn’t be easy to mis-spell (believe me, you wouldn’t be able to guess how many N’s people like to make Jen have or how that silent E in my last name gets dropped altogether!) that catered to the clientele I’m interested in (Band/Choir/Theater arts students,...

THANK GOD ALMIGHTY I’M FREE AT LAST! Yes, it’s true! I am finally free and seeking opportunities to second shoot! I’ll even work for free! Just feed me and let me give all my photos to you (I won’t even ask to use them for a portfolio) and I’ll cover my own gas expenses. Photogs, if you’re looking for a second shooter, I’m willing and available! Why’s that, you ask? Well, here’s why: My littlest guy is finally weaned. I never thought I’d see the day . . . I mean, with kids, especially being a stay-at-home-momma, the...
