Some new infant and toddler backdrops

2011-05-14T18:24:00.000-07:00

I recently bought two new backdrops. I was looking for something that was gender neutral and can be used for both infant and toddlers. Here are some photos I took today with them. The first pictures are of a brown back drop with blue dots, and the other one is really cute green and yellow with monkeys on it! My daughter was exhausted when I did the pictures of her on the brown back drop and would not let me take that binky out of her mouth. She is still my cutie though! Enjoy!

2010 Holiday Photo Sessions

2011-01-05T11:12:00.000-08:00

Happy New Years everyone! At the end of 2010 I was super busy doing alot of Holiday Photo Shoots and just studio work in general. It was alot of fun and I posted below a few of my favorites.

I am now getting ready for 2011 and am enjoying a little "down" time.

I have some weddings already booked in May and in June, and if you are intested in booking or inquiring about pricing, please email me at wishimayphotography@gmail.com and I will be happy to discuss your big day!

Lynn and Tony's Wedding

2010-09-23T11:31:00.000-07:00

I had the pleasure of photographing Lynn and Tony's Wedding on 8/28/10. They had their ceremony in Lagrangeville and their Reception was at the Elks Lodge in Poughkeepsie, NY. Lynn and Tony are from Dover, NY and I had put up a few fliers in that area so it actually was some great exposure to meet some new people in that area. They were a lot of fun to work with and I wish them a life time of happiness!

Family Photo Session

2010-09-23T11:26:00.001-07:00

I did this session for Gina and Kevin's family over the summer. We just did it in their yard, which is always nice. It is a personal place for you to cherish your photos. Gina has had the baby and I will be meeting and photographing him soon! Can't wait. They are such a great family.

Some Weddings (and other stuff) from 2010

2010-08-23T12:29:00.000-07:00

So far the 2010 Wedding Season has been great! I apologize that I never seem to get around to updating this blog to often. If you want the lastest stuff please look Wishimay Photography up on Facebook and "like" me there.

As I was saying, the 2010 Wedding Season has been great so far. It has been super HOT though, and I am looking foward to some fall photography and weather!

Thank you to all my Brides, Grooms, Families, and photography clients who I have worked with so far this year.

So here are some photos I have not had a chance to do some individual posts on yet.

Here are a few pictures from Baby E's first birthday party. What a cutie! I totally want to make that huge cupcake too for my daughter's 1st birthday!

2nd Birthday

2010-04-27T12:37:00.000-07:00

A friend of the family recently asked me to photograph her daughter's 2nd Birthday Party.
It must be something in the air because I do not do alot of kids birthday parties, but I had one 2 weekends in a row. Here are a few of my favorites:
This was at the Lake Carmel Community Center.

Newborn Photography

2010-01-13T06:46:00.001-08:00

As some of you know, I was on maternity leave from photography. Our baby girl, Madelyn Jean Wheeler was born 12/11/09 at 7lbs 10 oz and 19.25 inches. She is just amazing. I took the pictures below when she was 3 days old. I was so tired, but knew that I had to get those newborn photos before she was a few weeks old because they change so quickly.

If you are expecting or a new mom, please capture those moments before they slip away. Our baby is one month and I can see how much she has changed already.

When doing newborn photos, I find it best to go to my clients house with my stand and backdrop and also do some nature photos of them in their home.

Happy 2010 everyone!

Matthew and Joy's Wedding

2009-09-23T07:45:00.001-07:00

About two weeks ago I arranged to meet Joshua and Helena in Hudson, NY to do a photosession with the two of them.

On 8/808 I photographed Joshua and Jennifer's wedding in Wallkill, NY. It took place at http://www.lippincottmanor.com/ . It was a very beautiful setting and nice weather as well. Well, it did rain just as the ceremony was to start so they had to have their ceremony inside the tent, but the rains passed and the sun came out again.

They had a fairytale themed wedding, including a "frog cake".

Sunday I had the pleasure of photographing Michael and Megan's Engagement Photos in Newburgh, NY.

Mother to Be Rachel and Husband Lucas

2007-12-13T07:27:00.000-08:00

A few nights ago I went over to Rachel and Lucas's home to do their maternity photos. They are such nice, and sweet people and will be amazing parents. It is always such an honor when people ask you do document such a special moment in their lives, thanks to both of them. I have to say it was hard for me to choose just a few to share of the over 200 photos I took of them. I loved so many of them.

Mark and Angela's Engagement Photos

2007-11-25T18:05:00.000-08:00

Today I met with Angela and Mark in Webatuck's Craft Village and then we went down the road to Bulls Bridge in Kent, Ct.

I love both of these locations and Mark and Angie are such great people. I can really tell they are in love and have so much in common. I loved Angie's excitement over the photos because it makes it more fun for me.

I will be photographing their wedding in February and can't wait!

Here are my favs from today:

Torres Family Photos

2007-11-12T09:09:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I went to visit my cousin Kelly who is 8 month pregnant with her 3rd child. It was great to see them, and it was the first time I really met her children. We live in the same town now so I hope to see more of them.

The girls are just adorable and she is having a boy.

Megan and Peter's West Point Wedding

Last weekend I photographed my first Military Wedding! It was for Megan and Peter who are both in the Army and graduated and started dating while attending West Point Military Academy.

The ceremony was in The Catholic Chapel on the West Point Post. West Point is so beautiful, especially this time of the year. The weather was extremely windy but we were able to get some outside shots and they are some of my favorites from the day.
Congrats to Megan and Peter!

Dawn and Donny's Wedding

2007-09-08T20:03:00.000-07:00

I photographed Dawn and Donny's wedding today. It was such a fun event! This is the first wedding in a LONG time (years) that I had gone to that they had a band play at. It really made it unique and more like a party/night out. The band was The Amish Outlaws, you should google them if you want a fun band for your wedding

Dawn and Donny are always a pleasure to work with and I wish them a lifetime of happiness.

Tim and Marta's Wedding

2007-09-07T16:42:00.000-07:00

Tim and Marta are such a nice couple and they are also expecting their first baby. Marta was a beautiful glowing bride. The Wedding took place in bedford and then we went to one of the oldest trees in Westchester and took some photos of just Marta and Tim.

Tim is an arborist, so the tree has alot of real meaning and symbolism of life.

The recepetion was at The Kittel House in Chappaqua.

Long over due update

2007-09-07T10:08:00.000-07:00

I apologize for not updating this part of my portfolios online in so long. I mostly update my blog on myspace but that only shows some much work before it gets old and does not display.

I have a bunch of weddings, portraits, and engagements that I have done in the last 6 months since I have really updated this blog. I am going to share a few that I have on my work computer in this blog and I will start to update this much more often then I have.

Thanks for looking!

Recent Photography

I have done alot of photoshoots since I last posted to this blog. Please see www.myspace.com/wishimayphotography for my latest info/photography/pricing. I tend to update that much more often then this. Thanks!! Jean

Here is a sample of some of my recent work:

Self Portraits Lighting Tests

2006-11-17T21:08:00.000-08:00

I was just testing some new lights I have and did some interesting self portraits today. I like how they came out. They seem to have a very romantic gothic mood to them. I bought that dress yesterday at a thrift shop down the road from us for 3 bucks! It really does look like it is from the 1920's. The lace texture photographed well too.

Getting Ready Wedding Photography

2006-11-08T16:59:00.000-08:00

I love details of wedding jewelry. In this picture the wedding color is burgundy and the rings are on the pumpkin, which is a them of the wedding and the necklace and earrings set is what the bride is wearing.

Vassar College Engagement Session

2006-11-06T17:18:00.000-08:00

Engagement Session from Vanderbilt Mansion

2006-11-06T17:11:00.000-08:00

I had an Engagement Photo Session with a very nice couple on Sunday 11-5-6 at Vanderbilt Mansion. I love how these photos came out. It is amazing how everytime I go I expect the photos to come out similiar but they really never do. Each couple brings there own sense of style to the photos, and with each passing with the landscape there seems to change. Here are a few of my favorites from the session:

Engagement Photo Session

Audrey, Jaymie and Jojo

2006-10-31T21:33:00.000-08:00

Baby Baptism Photography

2006-10-31T20:52:00.000-08:00

This weekend I photographed a beautiful baby's baptism. She looked like an angel.

Vanderbilt Mansion

2006-10-05T11:21:00.000-07:00

I went to Vanderbilt Mansion this week to check out good sites to have photo shoots with my clients. I forgot how beautiful the Mansion grounds are. There is so many terrific places to take photos of couples, singles, or families. I went around 430 on a weekday and the crowds had left for the day.

Picture yourself with your special someone in these locations. It makes for great pictures!

I have a few engagement photos coming up with clients at Vanderbilt Mansion. I will post a few when they are done so you can see.

Photo Blog #1

2006-09-18T12:49:00.000-07:00

Photography of a newborns hand in mothers hand. Taken one month ago today while baby was still in the hospital.

Needless to say, the baby is growing quickly and this shot will be cherished as it shows the bond/relationship between a mother and child. I hope you enjoy it.

Wishimay Photography's Photo Blog Site

2006-09-18T12:16:00.000-07:00

Welcome to my photography blog. I thought this would be a nice idea to post my work here where people can come and see what my latest photography projects are. For those of you that do not know me well, or have linked to this photoblog from a photography website, let me tell you a little about myself.

My name is Jean Cann and I have been passionate about photography my whole life it seems. I notices this passion more as a teen ager and got serious about photography in 1999 when I inherited my first Professional Level SLR Camera. It was the Canon AE1 Program. I still love this camera and use it often.

My main camera that I am shooting with these days is the Digital Nikon SLR, D70.

I am a freelance photographer with a corporate 9-5 job. Luckily, photography is a creative outlet that does not have time constraints, and most peoples photography needs fall on the weekend anyway, as they work too.

I am going to try and keep this blog active, and post at least once a week is my goal. Please bookmark this site and come back often!
