30 Day Photo Challenge: Day Twelve
A picture of something you love.
No doubt about it, this little "man" is my biggest love. I guess he's not really a thing but man, do I love this cat! He was the first pet that was ever really all mine, and still is I suppose! He's a little sh**, climbing on tables, licking plastic bags, biting me, etc. But I still love him to death. He's always there for me to cuddle when I had a bad day! Or a good one, I suppose! I feel bad at how often I leave him at home alone, but he is still my little baby!

30 Day Photo Challenge: Day Eleven
A picture of something you hate.
I was hoping to be at least a little more philosophical for this entry (hate is such a strong word!) but man, we were just talking about this the other day and my disappointing dislike of most green vegetables. Don't get me wrong, I try to eat them (sometimes...) but man, I just can't stand them. Specifically broccoli. My boyfriends LOVES broccoli (and most of those other green vegetables) so I am probably going to have to start toughening up on that, but hey, at least for now, I don't mind denouncing the stuff.

30 Day Photo Challenge: Day Ten
A picture of the person you do the most crazy things with.
I will be completely honest, I don't really do the sort of things that anyone would REALLY consider "crazy." I'm a bit more calm than crazy... but let's go with this one...
Jessica Palmer and I met at our Bible study sophomore year. We were fast friends, and even though she lives in Florida NOW, back when we were at GVSU and when we were roomies our senior year, I would say we had some "crazy" times. Anyway, it wouldn't be what normal people would call crazy, but we sure have a lot of photos of us being dorks ;)
This photo is after Ica moved down to Florida, we were at Disney World with her sister, Jennie (she's right behind my head!), and we had a blast. Again, riding a rollercoast isn't really "crazy" but "crazy fun" perhaps!
AND, as we speak, I am in Florida hanging with Ica, so it's only fair she get some love on the photo challenge. Miss you, Ica!

30 Day Photo Challenge: Day Nine
A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most.
Another hard one, not surprised. I have a lot of close friends who have gotten me through a lot of things, but if you want to go for LENGTH, I think Miss Judith Ann Cox would take the prize. Judy and I met in 6th grade and were best friends by the end of the 7th (or sooner?), so I guess she has gotten me through a lot of things. We made it through HMS in tact and even after all the trials and tribulations of high school, and college, we are still buddies. Our careers and moving away have made it a little harder for us to be as close as we used to, but we still have the occasional good times ;) Hope you are already enjoying your new place, Miss Judy!
This photo is from last year's "The Bridesmaid Project" where I made some of my favorite friends pose for a photo shoot... and then we all stayed at the Marriott, played at the BOB and ate CAKE!

30 Day Challenge: Day Eight
A picture that makes you laugh.
It seems to be some sort of tradition that when we take a group photo, another must follow that is supposed to be funny. And sometime it isn't. But this one from back in 2007 when we were up in the UP made me laugh! My favorite part is that when told to do something funny, both my mom and my grandma stuck their butts out. Because of this, very funny. Also, Kara's boobs are amusing.
I also decided to put this one in from the same UP trip, because I have no idea what the hell we are doing. Hehe.

30 Day Photo Challenge: Day Seven
A picture of your most treasured item.
I'm going to have to go with this. I have lots of great items that I treasure to a degree, including my fabulous book collection that no one but me would appreciate, but this little baby helps me make a living! I purchased a used Nikon D3 last year and I love the thing. Sure, it give me neck pain when I carry it around all day at a wedding, attached to a 2lbs lens and a 1lbs flash unit, but hey, it takes some nice photos!

30 Day Photo Challenge: Day Six
A picture of a person you'd like to trade places with for a day.
Okay, maybe this is a cop out since I can't think of anyone right now, and maybe someone is going to think "yeah, right, there's NO ONE else you'd rather be?" but really, right now, I can't tell you how great is it to be Jenna Noseda lately. And maybe it's because I'm going to Florida to see Brad Paisley, photograph babies and baby bellies, get some sun, and hang out with my favorite people in the world (especially my Ica). Three more days!

30 Day Photo Challenge: Day Five
A picture of your favorite memory.
This is tough because I don't have digital versions of all my old photos (now THAT'S a project if I ever find the time!), but I guess some of my favorite memories would have happened on our former annual vacation in the U.P. at Lake Millecoquins. We'd been going up there since before I could remember, and now that all the grandkids are grown up, we hardly ever make it up there anymore. This photo is from my senior thesis project, and all the awesome memories is why I chose to focus the project up there. I miss it, all the fun with Jeff and Greg, me and Kara playing our weird little wave jumping games, hanging with the Richies, looking for bears, Dad manning the fire every night, doing fun stuff with Grandpa, Grandma's waffles... I could go on :)

30 Day Photo Challenge: Day Four
A picture from your favorite night.
This one is kind of impossible, because of all the great nights I've had, I don't always have my camera with me (surprising, I know!). But I found one that I thought would be passable...
This is from our 2008 Halloween party at River Oaks. I don't know exactly what it was, probably a combination of a lot of things, but this night was just a blast! Judy and Alan came down and did an awesome job helping me decorate, we had tons of great costumes, everyone was rocking out the Guitar Hero, Mike showed up (oy!), and all and all it was a great evening! And since ONE photo just won't cut it...

30 Day Photo Challenge: Day Three
A picture of the cast from your favorite show.
Last year, I started watching "Community" on NBC and it's pretty much hilarious. It's that kind of moronic comedy, and they always go for the "feel good" episodes, but when you just want to unwind, not think too hard, and just be amused, this is a good one. Close runner up on my favorite shows...
Grey's Anatomy has it's ups and downs, but I still love watching every Thursday! I didn't think they'd make it past losing so many of their best characters, but they are in season six and still going!

30 Day Photo Challenge: Day Two
A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest
I guess I would have to go with my mom! She's pretty much the first person I knew ever... and we've always been pretty close! She's a great mom and I wish we lived closer, I miss her all the time! We've taken some pretty fun trips together, which includes skydiving in Tennessee and a fun adventure in Hawaii! Love you, Mer!

Welcome to My NEW Blog!
30 Day Photo Challenge
There are so many things you can do with a blog. My Jenna Rose Photography blog is meant to showcase my work throughout the year, with a few other fun things thrown in for good measure. But there are lots of fun things I'd love to showcase that I just don't think all my regular followers would be interested in. Here comes in "JRPhoto TOO!", my blog for things that I want to post but don't want to make EVERYONE suffer through. JRPhoto, the original blog, is all about my work and INTEGRITY (hehe!). Here we can have a little more fun!
To christen JRPHOTO TOO, we're going to start one of these "30 Day Photo Challenges". A friend and former client of mine has just started this one, and generally I like it, so I'm going to post it for all to see. I'll try to keep up, but if I don't, forgive me, I'll at least stick to the schedule as much as I can.
Day One - February 16, 2011
A picture of yourself with 10 facts.
Thaaaat's me! I had this photo taken for a special shoot I did (this being the only one I will let anyone see ;) and it was taken by the AMAZING Summer Osborn of Summer Jean Photography. I'm very much hoping to be working with her again in the near future, more of that to come later...
And now, the facts!
1. My absolute love is taking photos! My business is SO important to me and I want it to grow and thrive! Best career choice I could have made!
2. Apparently, I can't break the leg off a cooked chicken. Gross. Probably a live chicken either... that would be more gross.
3. I pretty much live on carbs. Mmmm....
4. My favorite restaurant is Olive Garden (they have LOTS of carbs!) and I also like my cousin's restaurant, Twisted Rooster.
5. The coolest place in the world that I've been to (so far) is the Big Island of Hawaii. Beautiful!
6. I have a weird need to put everything I have coming up on multiple schedules. Photo jobs, evening plans, trips (of course) and stuff like that. It makes me feel calm. It's weird.
7. My "regular" job is taking photos of wood. Ask me about it if you actually want to know more...
8. I recently (October) moved into my very first apartment of my own. I live there with my snarky cat. It's a bit pricey but I absolutely LOVE it. It's nice to make all your own rules.
9. I HATE it when people think anyone can take a photo. I'm not the best in the world by a longshot but just because you have a camera DOESN'T make you a photographer! It's more than just clicking a button!
10. I am insane about organization, yet I still leave papers all over my desk in disarray.
For those of you who are interested in doing this yourself, I've posted all the days below, so you can copy, paste, and join in!
