~Our newest Family Photos!! ~

We did a really fun Photoshoot with a family in Laguna a couple weeks ago! It was so much fun, they have an 8 month old and they brought their doggie with them too! I SO loved taking pictures of little Ella (I nanny for her 2 days a week) She is an absolute doll and is so much fun! Joe really prefers photographing adults because children can be so difficult, but that is where I can step up! At one point when I was sweating on the beach from jumping up and down, making weird high pitch noises and yelling, I actually stopped and looked at the couple to apologize for my weirdness...is that wrong?? But, I made the baby smile and the dogs ears perk, so all was good into he end. We were so happy with the pictures and the family is over the moon with how they turned out! I really do love this job! Oh, and I actually helped take pictures this time too....AND I got some of our favorite pictures! I told Joe he better step up his game because I might just be better at this than he is :) Okay, probably not, but I am for sure better at the editing part.

We have a wedding this weekend here in Southern CA. We are both looking forward to the beautiful location, it is in Orange in one of the last remaining Orange Tree reserves in CA.

WE WILL BE COMING BACK TO OHIO NOVEMBER 18TH-28TH! SO EXCITED TO SEE EVERYONE AND EXCITED THAT WE WILL BE HOME LONGER THAN 4 DAYS!

Love to you all,

The Jankord Family

Here are some picture of the Dominguez Family!

HaLLowEEN FuN!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween! Joe and I LOVE this time of year and I'm pretty sure Halloween has become our favorite holiday!

Growing up in the country we didn't ever get trick or treaters at our house, so we would go to my grandma's house in Stony Ridge and hand out candy or go trick or treating with our cousins. I swear I can remember every single year like it was yesterday. I LOVED handing out the candy to all of the children when I got "too cool" to trick or treat. It was always something to look forward to! As I moved into my own house I held some Halloween parties and I now have several fun decorations...including a strobe light, a rock that makes creepy noises when you walk up to it and a few other light up things.

I'm not sure Joe really ever went to this extreme with the decorations as a child, but I can tell you all he is living out all of his childhood dreams now! He is SO funny, watching him get the strobe light just right so everyone knows to come to our house. He attempts to jump out of the bushes to scare the children and even yells at the people driving too fast down the street! The whole time we are passing out candy he says "I LOVE HALLOWEEN! IT'S MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY EVER!" It really is cute to see him so excited...he is my grown up 5 year old!

We also attended a few Halloween parties. Our neighbor's held a party at their house which was lots of fun! Joe and I both went as Robin Hood...sadly everyone called Joe Peter Pan, which I thought was hilarious, Joe not so much! My dad now refers to him as "The Pan"

Here are a few pictures from the party! :)
