Where has Snapshots By Jess been? The places are endless! :-) It’s amazing how life changes when you bring a little one into the mix of things. The time just seems to fly by faster than it already did. Can you believe it’s almost May? I have a few sessions which I should be sharing with you, including an awesome studio session I did with Kathryn a while back.
I met Kathryn through the DYW program, which I’m proud to be the official photographer for. What is DYW you ask? It’s formerly the Junior Miss Program. Simply put, the program (Distinguished Young Women or DYW) awards college scholarships to young women who have distinguished themselves at school and in their communities. It is our goal to provide the DYW experience to every eligible young woman in our region. Those who participate in DYW programs develop interview skills, self-confidence, and other life skills that lead to future success. If you’d like to stay up-to-date on the happenings with the Lancaster County DYW Program – bookmark our website!
Kathryn contacted me in the dead of winter looking for senior portraits. As you know, I do most of my sessions on-location and outside. That’s basically because my studio set-up is very minimal and small. I explained this to Kathryn and she was fine with it. She just wanted a few shots – nothing too fancy. I said okay – let’s give it a shot.
After almost two hours of shooting and a lot of laughing we decided we did way more than she needed! Proof again that it really doesn’t matter where you set-up for photos… as long as your subject is ready to have fun anything is possible!
Continuing with my DYW post I thought I would share some images from the program we had last weekend. Each year we get a step closer to have a full Lancaster County DYW Production. This year we rented the Farm and Home center, worked with an actual stage, microphones and a real audience. Our goal for next year is to have at least five local girls ready to put on a night of entertainment! Current high school Sophomores… please let me know if you’d like information for next year. It’s never too early to start thinking about it. I can connect you with Susan and she can give you all the information you need!
Below you will find a slideshow from Saturday’s event. It’s a big lengthy as I wanted to showcase as many photos as possible since the three young ladies put so much time and effort into the day. Hope you enjoy the fun and please share this with any young lady you feel would be a great candidate for the program. It’s open to high school juniors – so current sophomores – you are who we need for next year!
