Photography is freezing moments in time. It is the moment, captured forever in an image that brings smiles, or laughs, or tears. Those images become part of us. Forever.
Life remembered.
Life captured
Jennifer Crane is an Austin native, a pediatric oncology nurse, and an aspiring, amateur photographer. She enjoys traveling and taking pictures along the road. Her education at Oklahoma Baptist University taught her to embrace creativity and use it to glorify the ultimate Creator. Photography allows her to capture moments and their meaning forever. This magical transformation of events into pieces of art is what keeps drawing her back to photographs. She attributes all of her dream chasing to those in her life who allow her to fully commit to being herself and to those who spur her on to become the best person she can be. Her family and friends are priceless and their support, ineffable.
I have watched LOST since almost the beginning, and most people can tell you, I have a higher-than-average knowledge of all the nuances of the series… maybe I should be more embarrassed about this………..
But when we found out that the series was not going to end with just an episode, but rather an EVENT we knew we had to make the best of it, and have a party worthy of such and EPIC show. So we gathered for an evening of drama, excitement, fish biscuits, a roast pig, costumes of our favorite characters and a trivia game. It was everything LOST deserved.
How to spend a fun saturday? follow these guys around with a camera for a few hours, and watch the magic happen.
I have known Brady Davis from The Beautiful Fools for a few years, and was so thrilled when he called to ask me to do his band’s new photos. We traveled all over Austin, and had a blast. These are just a few of the gems from the day…
Thanks guys! It was so great!
(oh. and you should check out their music. it is SUPER. find it on iTunes.)
LOVE these pictures, Jen!! Aw, sweet Brady. I miss both of you like crazy!!! Again, these are just perfect. Especially Brady’s face when they are hanging in the air!!!! HA!
Jennifer Crane Photography will be taking a 2 month break this summer. I will be traveling in Europe for a little bit, and working at a kids camp in Ukraine. I am super excited. Well, unless my plane is grounded because of this:
But hopefully, two weeks from now, I’ll be speaking russian, hanging out with some ukranian kiddos and spending time with this beautiful family.
I will be updating from the road, hopefully with some photos of my travels.
In other news, I spent this week getting schooled by the EscalateLIVE conference. It was such an inspirational and educational experience. I so enjoyed being poured into by such great photographic minds.
In light of that experience, thus begins a new day in my photography career. I am purposefully seeking and documenting inspiration. I have felt like inspiration and individuality have been lacking from my photography. The business of things has taken away some of my drive. My creativity. But no longer. It is time to go back to my roots, back to my inspiration.
So, join me on this adventure. This reinvention. This ever changing journey…
I have worked with Jessica for almost a year, and have loved getting to know her. I was able to meet up with Jess and Chris on Easter weekend for some lovely photographing. They are such a fun, energetic pair, and they didn’t think it was ridiculous when I said things like, “ok, now go play in the water with your shoes off”. They were willing to do anything, and were super creative also. I loved it! Thanks guys, y’all are great!
Leave a comment! Let me know what you think! I love feedback…
My lovely friends Amber and Seth got married a few weeks ago, and were so generous to let me take pictures at their rehersal dinner. I learned a lot about shooting at an event, and got some great photos at the same time. I was so amazed by their friend’s family’s support and encouragement during their wedding, and preparation. It was such a lovely evening celebrating a great couple and their new life together. I love y’all! Congrats!
