• Wrapping up my last couple weeks being off from weddings, so I’m crossing off big office tasks on my to do list. There’s not-so-fun things like taxes 😣, and much sweeter things like designing albums. I just got three new sample albums in, and they are SO good. Linen, velvet and gold embossing! 😍Brides, do yourself a favor and add one of these to your collection and past brides, it’s never too late to order! Check out my stories for a peek at the full design. #printyourphotos #heirloomalbums #jenniferstuartphotography

  • JSP is booked for 2019! I take on a limited number of weddings so I can provide a personal experience for each of my couples. I’m so excited for the amazing brides and grooms that are allowing me to share in such a special day. Ellie and Cody are exactly what a JSP couple looks like: comfortable, fun, trusting, and totally in love. If that’s you and you’re getting married in 2020, let’s have a chat! Check out more of their engagement session on the blog! #jenniferstuartphotography #jspbrides

  • I will have 8 weeks off from weddings before spring season begins, and this past month I took a much-needed break from posting on social media. I’m gonna be real with y’all and say that I really struggle with Instagram. 🤦🏻‍♀️ But wait, there are classes on how to properly promote yourself as a business on Instagram: We’re supposed to show our emotions but not too much of the bad parts. We’re encouraged to be “authentic” but only post professional photos, nothing unedited. We’re told to show our day-to-day life but not too much because people get bored with it. We need to promote our accomplishments, but shouldn’t brag about them. 🤷🏻‍♀️ The comparison game and the mindset of all this is tough on my heart. It’s draining. Every year, I commit to posting more, work on gaining followers, amp up the cohesiveness of my feed, but at the end of the year, I always feel like I failed. I want to share personal moments but feel self-conscious and wonder if anyone really cares to see it. I also want to be focused on LIVING in my family’s moments rather than having my phone up all the time to capture it for other people. 🙅🏻‍♀️ This year, my goal is to ditch the head games. I’m ok with not posting daily. I’m going to only post work that I’m proud of, happily engaged and married couples that I want to show off, and maybe some family moments that make me smile. Like this photo of me and my babies in the middle of belly laughs as we rolled on the floor; it’s not properly exposed and terribly out of focus, we are all in PJs and I have on makeup from the day before, but gosh it makes me happy. My hope is that some of these posts will make you smile too. 🙌 #quitthecomparisons

  • To my precious Evy on her 4th birthday: my heart didn’t know it was incomplete until we welcomed you into our world. You are kind and funny, shy but silly, sassy and sensitive. You challenge me on a daily basis but also know the perfect moments to say I love you. And gosh do you love hard. You will always be my best girl and I hope you feel the same. We love watching you grow and wish you the happiest of birthdays! 🎂🎉🎁🎈

  • Sweet baby Miles, how quickly this year has passed. I’ve been so full of emotions leading up to your first birthday knowing that my last baby won’t be a baby anymore. As I did with Evy on the night before her first birthday, I rocked you and sang your song, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, while my tears dripped onto your blankey. In perfect timing, your little hand reached up and patted my face. You are such a Momma’s boy and I hope you always have that strong love in your heart. You may be growing older, but you’ll always be my baby boy. Happy Birthday little love! 💙💙💙 Now excuse me while I flip through his birth photo album all day and give Miles all the birthday cuddles. @courtneymalonephoto, I’m still in awe of these photos and cherish them so much. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. 💙💙💙

  • This delicate white and pale blue invitation suite was getting lost on my other neutral backdrops, so I went out and bought this pretty merlot fabric that PERFECTLY matched her calligraphy and ranunculus. Styling details like this is one of my favorite parts of weddings! #jspbrides #greenvilleweddingphotographer #invitationsuite
