Regina of The JWG Power Group Inc. from Maryland, specializes in wedding, portrait, and event photography!

To Regina, a photo is really about capturing a moment and sharing that moment with family and friends

 * Why she loves photography:

“Ever sit with your kids or grands while looking through a family album and describing an event they were too young to remember, giving them a sense of themselves through a family tree brought to life through photos, or lovingly laughing through all those important events of growing up that are captured for all time?  Ever found photos to be that glue that ties your soul together when the chips seem down, a loved one is across town, the country or gone on or maybe you just need a quiet time of reflection? Ever watched disaster victims shift through debris to find a photo album or hug a framed photo? Has a friend or even a stranger ever asked about your family and you proudly pulled out that tattered photo from your wallet?…..That is why we love what we do!”


 
* Her and James favorite type of photography:

“James studied art and particularly likes portraits and outdoor photography-particularly flowers. He really enjoys capturing the spirit through the individual’s facial and body expressions all the while creating different perspectives of the individual or even the object through working with light and shadows. Regina loves wedding photography because of all of unexpected joys of the day and she likes the particularly calming effect she creates when interacting with the couple, their family and friends throughout that wonderfully important day.”


 
* Comments about her web site design:


”We wanted a simple, quiet-stated but powerful presentation on our website that would reflect our corporate personality. We presented this concept and a few thoughts about our vision and Jerry quickly and accurately translated them into our dream. We have excitedly shared our new site with clients and friends and are enjoying the oohs and aahs! Jerry, thanks so much for helping us move our business to an even higher level!”

Jane of Jane Brown Studio from Maryland specializes in painting, travel, pottery, and much more!

Learn what Jane’s website means to her….

“I am so excited to have a website.  We all spend so much time perfecting our skills to make something beautiful, either thru photography or other art disciplines such as painting, pottery, etc.  As a result, when you actually create something you like, you naturally want to share it with other people.  A website is the perfect way to do this.  For me, hiring someone to do the customization of my website was the only way to go.  In my case, Jerry (of JR Customizations) and his team were able to create a website to match my vision, while I could spend my time working on my art.  So, now the adventure really begins, I need to get busy and attempt to create more beautiful things to upload to my new website!”

Nancy of Smooch Photography from Naperville, Illinois specializes in smooch, baby, wedding, and much more!

Nancy shares how she grew from scratch such a passion for photography

“I am a Mom… a Wife… and a passionately crazy photographer who feels blessed to capture life for my own family and others. My business and PASSION for photography grew after I had my children and wanted to capture our moments and our laughter on camera. I dug in full of fear and anxiety and read everything I could about photography and talked to anyone that was willing to talk to me about how to grow my skills and capture the visions I had stuck in my head. This process hasn’t ended. My desire to learn something new about photography hasn’t stopped… I feel inspired daily by my kids and others and never tire of creating new and fun ways to capture the love and laughter around us all.

I am grateful for the special moments I have been blessed to be a part of and document for families. A mother expecting a child, a groom’s watery eyes as his bride walks down the aisle, the dirty feet of children who have been playing in the sand, the high school senior who is about to start a whole new adventure, a preemie in the NICU being loved and miraculously healed through amazing medicine and love, first time parents staring at their week old baby, generations of women walking together on the beach, and people who have fought and survived cancer. I am grateful and inspired. I look forward to many more.

I feel blessed to have contacted Jerry of JR Customization during my search for a new website. Jerry brought passion and eagerness to my project daily and was able to incorporate lots of exciting new features, such as a mobile site. I am excited not only about the look and feel of the website, but also the ease in which I can organize, update, and share my images. Thank you Jerry for your endless hard work. I LOVE the finished project.

LIVE… LAUGH… CAPTURE.”

Captured By Nancy from Chico, California specializes in baby, family, pet, and car photography.

Nancy describes just how much she loves “snapping shot of people”!

“I love photography! But mostly I am in LOVE with snapping shots of people. It is an absolute joy to me when I capture a smile, a moment, a laugh, or an exchange in its’ purest form…when they think I am not shooting! That being said, lifestyle photography is my favorite. Although photography has a technical aspect to it, it’s not where I want to be spending my time. I’d rather be out shooting than at my desk suffering through things I know nothing about. Thanks to a dear friend, I found Jerry Roek. He has created the perfect website for me to display my work and share with clients. I was so grateful to have someone elses time and talent to create and guide me through the technical aspects of something I DREAD! Thanks to Jerry, I saved countless hours of confusion and I gained more time in the field….I love it! Thanks Jerry”

Summit View Photography from North Colorado specializes in baby, family, senior, and sports photography.

Christina explains why she loves taking photos and what makes it special for her!

“I’ve always loved photography! As a kid I didn’t have a camera, but I’d always seek out what I thought would be great photos! In college a friend lent me a Nikon and I was hooked. My photo hobby (as my husband referred to it) was always very cyclical depending on how hectic life seemed at the time. After a while, I found photography was a great stress reliever from hectic corporate job and I started taking more and more photos … not only for myself but for family and friends.
I think I love capturing those special faces or special moments the best. I love getting great pictures of kids making funny faces or doing funny things. I recently took some engagement pictures and was overjoyed when I captured the look of love on their faces! A close second to capturing these moments is nature photography. I love pictures of mountains (since I’m a Colorado native), beaches, rivers, flowers and wildlife.
I am overjoyed with Jerry’s work on my website. I knew what I wanted, but I didn’t have the skills to get it there … Jerry did. Not only did he do a great job on the design, but he was also very conscious of my tight deadline, and provided great resources for managing my site. It turned out great!!”

Jennifer Duffy Photography from Nashville, Tennessee specializes in baby, seniors, events, and nature photography.

Jennifer expresses her passion for photography, and her favorite types of photography

“I have always loved art. As a child I would draw, construct, or photographed anything I liked. Photography was a good mix of being able to use light and color. I received a Bachelors in Fine Arts from the University of Memphis and have been in various shows and exhibitions while I was there. And studied it all. Photography, Ceramics, Oil Painting, Watercolor, Sculpture, and Printmaking. I enjoy all forms of art but I have found that after I had my daughter that photography was a way to document life in a way that no drawing can….I still love my print making and Painting…..but it is also not as say, family friendly to have at the house when you have a small child. Photography was a perfect fit. I also had begun to work in a retail photo lab and there I was taught a lot on the chemistry of developing and processing of film as well as the artistic side. I have personally have over 12 years of photography lab experience and photo editing experience.

I am right now working with models and outdoor photography with lighting set ups. If I try something I make sure I know how to do all aspects of the subject. Right now I am learning how to use strobe lights to light my subjects. I find that I like the tonal values found in Rembrandt’s work and gives the subject a small peek into the soul. Learning how to light a subject; to give it the right Chiaroscuro.”
