Jess and Wyatt

Jessica Coronado — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 17:36:41 +0000

One of my most favorite things about my job is the clients that I meet along the way. Meet Jess, and her adorable son Wyatt, who by the way, is a total gangsta’!! Hahaha! No seriously though, one of the first things he did when I was ready to shoot was give me the peace sign and his stank face. It. was. awwwesome. And so funny!! These guys were seriously so much fun and I think their personalities really come out in these photos. When I look at these photos the first thing that sticks out to me is the connection between Jess and her son. The looks they would give each other, the hugs, the giggles, that made this session extra special. So here is Wyatt the gangsta’ and his gorrrrrrgeous mom. Such a fun sesh!! Thanks Jess!

A little vacation | Polaris, MT

Jessica Coronado — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 22:03:19 +0000

Here in about a week and a half, my little family, along with some great friends will be heading up to Montana for a sweet (and much needed) weekend vacation. I seriously cannot tell you how excited I am about this trip. No computer, no internet (what will I do!!). Nothing but quality time spent with my favorite people. I am hoping to make a little trip into Bannack Ghost Town. It has some of the coolest, most rugged structures that I have ever seen. Definitely a photographers dream for any type of session. Last year I went up for a visit and had a lot of fun with these pictures. I really boosted the color and contrast and tried to give them edits that were fit for a ghost town. I think I will dress up the kiddos and see what I can bribe them with to do a little sesh there in Bannack. My mind is already spinning with ideas for their clothes. Going to be fun!! Here are a few more photos of Bannack.

And this is the “cabin” where we will spend our weekend. More like a mansion really. Very good friends of my family own this cabin. They have traveled the world for many years and their house is full of trinkets, photos, and gorgeous furniture from all their excursions. Not to mention the fact that they have 8 (soon to be 9) grandchildren so they also have TONS of kid friendly movies, games, rooms etc. I am hoping there might be some snow up there since they have made a perfect sled hill behind their house. So freaking excited!! I am really wishing that Linda would be there but she is in Germany visiting her daughter. She also has a passion for photography so whenever we get together it is fun to chat about what we love. Oooh I am so excited!!

And these are just some older, random Montana photos that I love. The top left photo is of the Sawtooth Mountains that are right outside their front door. Their is a really awesome hike that goes up to hidden lake but I am not sure if we will be making that this trip. I really love that photo of Sophia Rose too. She had just stepped outside to let everyone know that dinner was ready and I caught her attention. Others are just plain awesome scenery.

On another note. Since I will be taking my camera if you know of anyone in the area that might be interested in a session send them my way. I would love to do more in Bannack or right there in Dillon since it does have some fabulous spots at the edge of town.

Spring Mini Sessions

Jessica Coronado — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 05:05:00 +0000

It may look and feel like Winter outside but Spring is right around the corner. I figured it is time to get the ball rolling on some spring mini sessions! So “what’s a mini,” you ask? Mini sessions are a shorter version of my regular sessions. Mini sessions are scheduled on particular days and several sessions happen consecutively. You get a dedicated time slot based on preference and availability. I will also be bringing a long some really fun props for both boys and girls that will make your pictures extra special.

Sessions will be held on April 16th, 17th, and 18th and last 45 minutes each. Sessions will begin at 3 in the afternoon. There are a limited number of sessions available, and sessions will sell out quickly, so be sure to contact me as soon as possible to schedule your appointment. The full session fee must be paid for in advance to reserve your spot. There are no refunds on mini-sessions. However, you are free to offer your position to someone else. I understand that some of you have larger families, but due to the short time of these sessions, I will only be able to accommodate two subjects per session. If you wish to have more people in your session, you may purchase an additional session to extend your time. A medium-resolution CD with 10 custom edits is included in the price, along with the right to print these photographs. All major enlargements must be done through BellaRose Photography.

If you have any questions please call 801.821.1838 or use the contact link at the top of this page.

100% boy. This is the last of the mini sessions that I...

Julia and Trevor Blackwell

Jessica Coronado — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 06:48:43 +0000

Remember this super amazing, adorable couple from here?! They tied the knot on 1.2.2010. What a fantastic way for them to start out their new year, right?!? I was so happy that I was able to witness those first moments of their official marriage. We stuck around the temple and took advantage of the beautiful sunlight for some shots, then headed off to the reception (photos to come soon). I love the colors and wardrobe that she chose for her besties. So. cute. And her decor at her reception was just her style. I am not sure we could have asked for a more beautiful day. Congrats Julia and Trevor!!! You guys are the best!

The Villa Family | Baby Caden Part I

Jessica Coronado — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 00:30:17 +0000

Well HELLO there!!! Been a long time since I have done anything here on the ole’ blog. Friends began to wonder where I have been and why I haven’t been doing any posting! Well, let’s see….I gave myself a break at the beginning of January and may have gotten a little. too. comfortable. to say the least. All three of my precious kiddos became sick one after the other (again!), we had Frankie’s 2nd birthday, I am still putting all the finishing touches on my website etc. etc. I know when some of my favorite photographers don’t post at least once a week I start to get a little ancy and wonder what the heck is going on. Afterall, they ARE my favorite and shouldn’t they indulge me with their work when I want them too haha?! Not sure if that was the case with my peeps that sent me e-mails, but here I am, I am back in the swing of things, and I have a great post to share with ya’ll.

You will remember this sweet family from here, and here. They have become one of my favorite clients, and friends. They are soon going to be welcoming a new member to the family: Mr. Caden Anthony, who I beleive should be here some time mid March. Her boys are so easy to photograph and always seem to have such a good time during our sessions. I kinda sorta kept them waiting on this post since I had a really cute baby gift for Stacey and I didn’t want her to see any of her photos till the shower. I attended her shower today and her girlfriends did a fabulous job with everything!!! So I hope it was worth the wait Stace!! I seriously cannot wait to meet the new addition, and I totally look forward to our next shoot you guys!!!

I am also going to move all my personal photos over to this site. Trying to keep up two blogs at the same time is crazy and way too time consuming for my tastes. Plus I really love reading about my favorite photographers and what they do in their spare time, their family lives etc. That being said!…..My little lady turned 2 on 2.16.08. She is definitely in the “terrible two’s stage” and rules the roost around here. Her biggest sister Bella loves her so much, would do anything for her, but Frankie is soooo mean to her. ”Shullup Baalla!” is all she says. Wonder where she learned that from hahaha! She is totally and completely obsessed with Dora. Her obsession with Dora is so bad that she woke up at 1 a.m. this morning and instead of wanting mom or dad, she wanted “Doo-ra.” We had a Dora themed party for her complete with Dora streamers, a Dora cake (Thanks MOM!!), Dora balloons, and any other type party ware you can think of. It was so. much. fun. And even though she got some really fun presents, her favorite part of the whole night was the “boons” (balloons). As you will see she doesn’t really love to have her photo taken, but I still think they turned out super cute.

My baby. Just had to post this one. I would love lashes...

Photo Exchange | Crave Photography

Jessica Coronado — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 06:43:00 +0000

I was inspired once again to participate in Michelle Kane’s photo exchange. This time I got a hold of Andee from Crave Photography and I asked her if she would like to participate. To my excitement she said yes and we got together, swapped photos and got busy!! It is so fun to see how another photographer takes the same photo and does something completely different. I am reeeeally loving Andee’s edit of this photo. As you can see from my original photo, there wasn’t much color to begin with. I love the way she added a very subtle texture, brought out some blues and really made her sweet face and beautiful eyes the main focus of the photo. And just because I am obsessed with a groomal session that she did, I have to give her a little love. I seriously go back to look at them all the time, they are that good! Check those photos out here, they are absolutely fantastic. Thanks so much Andee! It was fun and I freaking LOVE you sister!! Wether you are just starting out in the photography business or you are a pro, try out Michelle’s exchange. It is RAD!!! You can see her official rules here.

Andee’s edit of my photos:

And here is Andee’s already fabulous SOOC (straight out of camera) image. Love, love, love this session.

I am hoping to hook up with more amazing photographers and continue to do these super fun photo exchanges. If you haven’t already done so, get in touch with Michelle. She will let you know exactly what you need to do to get the ball rolling for a photo exchange. I am so blessed to have made such amazing friends while on this whole journey. You are all so talented and bring me so much inspiration on a daily basis. Thanks girls!!!! Love ya!
