People ONE … Week ONE

November 11th, 2009 by Jaclyn

I started taking a new photography class at the Showcase school called People ONE.  Most of my classmates complained that the hardest part of this class was finding models — I am lucky enough to have three built in models!

Our first weeks assignment was to photograph our models in as many different natural lights as possible.  Here are some of the pictures that I took for the assignment:

Year in Review

September 9th, 2009 by Jaclyn

It’s hard to believe that the Chislets will be ONE tomorrow!  This year has flown by!

Below are some of my favorite individual pictures from each month (these were posters that I designed for their 1st birthday party).  You can click each picture to view a larger version.

The Chislets’ Baptism

February 25th, 2009 by Seth

We had the Chislets’ Baptism over Valentine’s weekend. It was quite the affair with a total of 6 Godparents., some who flew in all the way from Chicago (thanks Aunt Kristine and Matt)!  The Chislets were also lucky enough to have both sets of Grandparents and two sets of Great-Grandparents in town for the special day!  Since we had such a large group of people, our parish, Holy Spirit, allowed us to do a special private Saturday Christening.

Here are some pics of the individual Chislets and their Godparent pairings:
