Joni Photo bio picture

Hi There!

I'm very excited to explore the multi uses of this site.

Being a dynamic medium and not static like a traditional website, this blog will allow the viewer to see my latest work in the specific category of their interest simply by sorting the post by "categories", e.g. kids, events or furry BFF's.

Some posts will be educational in providing a little insight as to how some of these images are created, my thought process, etc.  And maybe "too much information (TMI) but some posts will share a little glimpse into my interests outside of photography such as wine, food and giving back to the community.

Would love to hear your feedback!

Enjoy!

Joni

Dr. Brandon’s Ice Cream Party

Dr. Brandon and his staff sure know how to throw a party – bring in a Good Humor truck full of ice cream, face painting and tattoo artists, games and best of all – prizes from a spinning gum ball style machine! This little guy has a mischievous look like he’s taunting you to take...

Sign Up – Race for Justice

What I’d like to know is why there is no ice cream being handed out at the finish line for the adult race?!  Kids get all the fun! This year’s Race for Justice is Saturday, JUNE 19th.  Click here for more information.  It is easy this year to register and ask for pledges online!  Hopefully...

“Oh Mom!”

You know this picture is going to come out every time Evan brings a “significant other” home to meet the parents.  But how can anyone resist this little cutie on his literally “sheepskin” rug.

So Different These Days…

It use to be that little girls played with dolls or stuffed animals.  Not these days or at least with these two little ladies.  If they aren’t digging in the yard for squirmy worms, pretending to be leaping froggies or other tomboy antics, they are trying to decipher how to work the speaker volume controls...

eTrade Babies

This image from a recent shoot to update Dr. Brandon’s website reminded me of the eTrade commercials with the talking babies.   I wish I had Dr. Brandon when I was younger.  His philosophy is to create a non-threatening environment for both parents and kids.  My pediatric dentist drilled without novocaine and watched sports on TV...

Keris Collage

While in Honolulu visiting family last August, I received a phone call from Katie.  Hearing her sweet voice, memories of their beautiful wedding day flashed back.  Her voice softens to a whisper as if to tell me a secret…she and Todd are expecting.  My husband rolls his eyes at me as I’m shrieking with high...

Love the Curls!

I love this image for so many reasons. From the technical aspect, the “halo” effect comes from the subject being “back lit.”  This means the strongest source of light (in this case the sun) is behind the subject. In this “back lit” situation if you let your programmable camera select the settings for your exposure,...
