Dillman Holiday Mini

Published on January 14, 2017 by jennifer Rupprecht PhotographyLeave a comment

So I have been a little behind on blogging with the Holiday’s. The Holiday’s kind of swept in really quick and with sessions and family time we got super busy, but now that the holiday’s and travel are done for a bit it is time to catch up on the blog.

We will start out with the Dillman family. Jacqueline Dillman and her son Ryan along with her Dad met up at to do some fall pictures. Ryan is a spit fire which isn’t a bad thing. He was on the go and loving playing in the dirt and the leaves just like any little boy wants to do. We were able to get some good pictures. He especially liked when we would have him run. Jacqueline is pregnant with her rainbow baby so we thought it would be fun to also get some fun pictures with her and Ryan. Over all I say with a 2-year-old it was a success!

BFY Colton 9 Months

Wow little boy you need to slow down it is hard to believe that you are 9 months almost 10 months already. You are getting way to big way to fast I love getting to watch you grow up. The fact that we are closer is making it even better. Colton is another little one that I have gotten to take pictures of since he was a newborn. Both of us have grown so much in the last 9 months and still have a lot of growing yet to do. It is hard to believe the next time I photograph him, he will be a year which is crazy to me. He is one of the most handsome boys I know but I might be a little biases since he is my nephew.

We decided to try some pictures in side with a rocker that is my parents and I believe came from one of my grandparents houses I believe my moms parents. Anyways my parents have a beautiful fireplace so it worked perfect for the setting. We then headed out because it was a beautiful warm November day. The leave have started to change colors and fall so it was the perfect fall setting and Colton loved just crawling every where. I am sad your first year is almost over but we have all enjoyed every minute of it so far!

Talia Baby’s First Year 4 months

Oh goodness Miss Talia is 4 months old it is just hard to believe. I was photographing this girl before she was born. She will be my first and only baby so far that I will get to photograph from maternity to 1 year that is as long as her family stays in Central Florida I know I am doing my best to keep them here because they have a special place in my heart. This family has been around the world and back and I love that we are in the same area once again.

Miss Talia was the perfect little girl for pictures. I love when I can get a good smile out of her though she usually only gives me those when I don’t have the camera around go figure right. We got to do the caterpillar again this shoot and we will somehow use it in her next 2 sessions also as this little guy has special meaning. He traveled all the way from Israel where her family lived for the last couple of years. I can’t wait to continue to watch her grow and get snuggle time in where I can get them!!

Steven Turns 6 Months

I am beyond excited that Baby Steven’s momma Linda has asked me to do Steven’s pictures through the next couple of months as he heads towards that 1 year mark. I first met Steven when he was just a month old after moving to Florida. His momma is just one of the sweetest and I am so glad that we were able to meet up through a playgroup in St. Cloud.

Steven turned 6 months old at the end of September and I couldn’t wait to photograph him. He is almost sitting up with a little assistance but is definitely not staying still. He was a roller going all over the place but it made it excited, and I bet by his 9 month session he is going to make me get some exercise in chasing him around. I can’t wait to continue to watch this little boy grow!

Here is a quick picture of when he was almost 3 months oh and his family did a 4th of July mini session with me. Oh my how he has changed in just 3 short months!

Here are the pictures from his 6 month Session! Thank you to Nicole Schunk with PaperPuff Design for the cute monster banner, she made them in a couple of different colors so if you have a monster theme for your kids I have more to use!! You can find her shop on Esty PaperPuff Design!!

Meet Your Photographer

Hi everyone my name is Jennifer. I know what you all are thinking, there already is a place for you to learn about me, but I wanted to just write a blog that kind of told you more.

So lets start at the very beginning… its a very good place to start. Ok I know you are all breaking out in song just like me right…ok maybe not. Anyways like I said my name is Jennifer Rupprecht I was born and raised a Hoosier lived there for 24 years of my life. Though you might find it interesting to know I am not and IU fan. I am a Michigan State Spartans fan. Long story short I have family that live in Michigan and they are Michigan State fans and have drilled into me from a young age all things Spartan! I have a degree from Indiana State University in Radio/TV/Film and I worked 10 years in the news business. I did everything from running the telepromptor, graphics, studio camera, and editing, but I would have to say my favorite job was as a photographer/multimedia journalist. I met my now husband back in 2005 at Indiana State, most of our dating life was long distance. He finished school a semester before me and moved to Oklahoma. We were together 4 years before he finally proposed to me and then it was another year before we got married. So basically we had been together 5 years before we ever said I DO. Fast forward almost 3 years we were living in Arizona and both well into our careers him in Construction me in News when we had our oldest child Taylor who is now 3. We decided it was best that I become a stay at home mom which I love because I was able to be there for all the big milestones. 9 months into her life we picked up and moved to Northern California where a year later we welcomed our youngest child Kyle who is almost 18 months. Now with these kids came a lot of pictures I mean a lot. (Maybe I share too much who knows who cares) Well for Christmas my husband got me a brand new Sony A6000 mirrorless DSLR and I was so excited because it meant that maybe I could still continue my career of telling stories. I loved getting to go interview people and learning about them and then hopefully do their story justice. We currently reside in Saint Cloud Florida where I am working on getting my business off the ground.

I have found out through trial and error that my nitch in this little photography business is lifestyle because I am doing exactly what I did when I worked in my career I was telling someone’s story. Do you ever look at a picture and wonder what someone is thinking. You know the saying a picture can say a 1000 words, well that is exactly what I am going for in my sessions. Some might think well I still want that Portrait photography, great we can take a couple of shots where everyone is looking at the camera, but then we can get some candid of your family doing whatever it is that you love doing!

I hope that this post helped you to maybe get to know me a little better and I can’t wait capture a day in your life whether it be Maternity, Newborn, Baby, Children, or your family. I am excited to start telling your story!

Sincerely,

Jennifer!!!

Welcome Baby Lucas

Published on July 9, 2016August 29, 2016 by jennifer Rupprecht PhotographyLeave a comment

Please welcome baby Lucas who was born on June 6th. He was welcomed into this world by mom Maria, dad Steven, and big sister Addy. You can already tell at just 1 month old this little boy is very loved by a lot of people.

I met Maria around April at a playdate I was very new to town and I was running way late and she stayed and hung out for a while and our girls got to know each other. Theybecame quick friends and now my daughter Taylor always ask when she is going to see her friend Addy again. I hope that our sons will also become close friends as they grow older.

I went over to Maria and Steven’s house to do the newborn pictures and they had a nice bright little bedroom in the front of the house perfect for natural light pictures. We tried to sneak a few pictures in outside while the sun was behind what we thought was rain clouds, but just as we got outside and started snapping pictures the sun came out and made it just unbelievable hot. We successfully got some in but we were able to grab some real beauties once we moved inside. Since Lucas was almost 1 month old at the time of pictures he was awake the whole time. Can you blame him though he didn’t want to miss out on the party.

We were able to grab some great shots of him with his big sister Addy who just loves her little brother to death. I heard a lot of can I hold him, yep that line sounds very familiar to me I heard it a lot with my own daughter. Addy loved to give hugs (or as I always put it choke holds) to her brother and lots and lots of kisses. You can already tell these two are going to have so much fun growing up together.
