June buggin' it in Headshot land!

 

Summer is here, friends!!  Kids are out of school, families are on the vacay, and it's headshot season!  I have to remind myself every year to embrace every minute of summer because fall and Family Portrait season (my absolute fave!) will be here before we know it! I've already chosen my Mini's dates for this year but I'll save those until a little later - enjoy summer for now, friends...I've got you!📸

Many thanks to the folks at Capital Office Products, Parker Law, Cassell Brothers Heating and Cooling, and The Ronald McDonald House Charities of Columbia, for trusting me to capture their personalities!

Additionally, yours truly, found her way in front of the camera again. My confidence lies BEHIND the camera, but by being on the other side, it's a good reminder of how my client's feel when they step in front of my lens.  Giving myself direction in my own head is also quite hilarious!!😆 Maybe next time I'll film that for laughs as well!!

I've got some really fun sessions coming up for this space for July. Read that as "Really adorable kiddos!" Can't wait to see you then!!

Capital Office Products is Columbia's go-to partner for copiers.

Attorney Greg Parker and his team are available for all of your Estate Planning needs.

Face it, you're impressed by this photographed logo!😅  I had a blast with these fine folks, VERY early (for me) on a Thursday morning! I photographed nineteen smiling faces and look forward to the next installment.  Cassell Brothers Heating and Cooling - keeping the Midlands warm and cool since 2008.

I have so much love for the Ronald McDonald House and I'm always ready to say "YES!" when Beth calls with an opportunity to photograph for them. Also, do they have the cutest house pup, or what?!!!

I shot these right before the temperature climbed to approximately 11,000 degrees here in Columbia!🌞  This is the last time I'll look cool until October!😎

Oh April, you and I had some BIG fun!!

 Ok, ok!!  I did manage to get SOME work done in April, but oh my goodness did I enjoy some serious photographer play time!  Danny and I went on an EPIC adventure for our 10th anniversary, but before that happened I got to celebrate with an upcoming HS grad and a new USC School of Nursing grad!!😀  Yep, I get to photograph happy, joyful, smiling people...and this is my JOB!  

My oldest daughter, Erin, got married in April and I jumped at the chance to fly up to OHIO, a few weeks before the wedding, and photograph her Bridal portraits. We facetimed her sister, Halie, during the shoot and once again, thanks to technology...we were all together on a special day.😍  Three days after Erin's wedding, Danny and I headed to Europe for our fabulous adventure and let me just say, it gets 5 full stars!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Congrats to Alex as he graduates from HS and heads to USC in the fall!

Meet Lauren, a new USC School of Nursing grad!  Fun fact: I photographed Lauren when she graduated from HS.😀 When she reached out to me, I couldn't believe four years had already flown by!!

Sharing this day with my daughter, Erin, will  forever hold a special place in my heart.💕 

Also, I did assure her wedding photographer that on wedding day I would be firmly ensconced in my roll as MOB!  Not once did I see Caitie give me the side eye, so I think I did it! There was no backseat photographer driving going on here!😍

Our adventure included Switzerland, France, Germany, and we ended our journey in The Netherlands at the Tulip Festival.  AMAZING!!

What's happening in my biz?

 

Hey there!😊  It's been awhile since I've blogged and it's time for an update!  My business really took a giant step forward last year, and I'm so grateful! I stopped blogging because I just wasn't getting the reach from blog posts that I was getting on social media.  Putting together a blog post is fun, but it's still work, and to look back at a post and see that only 7 people clicked on it, made me realize that maybe I needed to redirect where my creative posting energy was going!  You can find me on FB and IG at Janice Sanford Photography to see ALL the things I've been working on over the last year (and didn't blog!), and to see what I'm currently working on. I'm also toying with doing a "once a month blog post" with my favorite images from the month, so we'll see where that goes!  As for now, my shooting schedule is filled with Families, Seniors, Headshots, and Corporate Branding work. I really am living my dream.📸

Thanks for stopping in!💕
