i almost forgot.

these pictures got me an A on my lighting assignment.

and a date.

[it was a really good date.]

sneak peek.

i honestly could not have asked for a better couple to shoot for my first wedding.

can't wait to share the rest.

post 100.

it only took me about a year and a half to get here. party!

i can't think of anything better to share in my 100th post than this pretty girl's bridals.

i kept showing her the pictures as i would take them while saying "can i just show you how gorgeous you are? ok, i just thought you should know."

yes. i love them.

lizzie turned 2.

and she had a party all things nemo + some awesome mexican food. i'm sure nemo would have enjoyed it.

my sister is a master of cakes.

my parents.

the happy little birthday girl.

i love my clients.

kerry sent me this picture

so i painted her this

and she sent me this

not only are my clients super patient with me, and creative, and just plain awesome, but then they go out of their way to tell me how much they love their painting and attach an awesome picture like this!

thanks for making my day kerry!

xoxo.

jana

ps. if you are an owner of a jana beck painting, and feel any kind of desire to send me a picture of it with your kiddos or of it on display on your home, i would absolutely love it!

i took this pretty girl's wedding photos.

yes, i shot my first wedding today. please join me in jumping for joy!

i downloaded the pictures from my camera...

and discovered this one of my niece, lizzie.
