It's a blog party + a GIVEAWAY!!!!


Ultimate Blog Party 2010

This is the first time I'm joining the blog party and I'm super excited to introduce myself and meet a ton of other bloggers!!

My name is Jenilee.

This is my son Wesley. He just turned 1 in March.

This is my husband Kyle and Wesley @ the pool.

And I can't forget our border collie, Cleatus. We adopted him from a rescue in Saratoga, WY. We've had him 2 months and love him very much. He was abused which is something we are working on everyday to get him comfortable with us.

I live in Laramie, Wyoming. We get snow 8 or more months out of the year. This last year it snowed in August and September!!
I have a passion for photography. I have loved it longer than I can remember but just until my wedding in 2009 (which the photographer completely bombed and did the worst job ever) and after numerous people have told me that I would make a great photographer did I actually think that would be something I could actually accomplish. Photography is art. I have been in love with art since I was little. I always knew I would incorporate art into a career one way or another and I'm so happy that photography has found a HUGE home in my heart, mind, and as a creative outlet.
I currently attend the University of Wyoming where I'm majoring in Graphic Design. I have many many years left because I have been on and off since 2007 and have not gone fulltime at all since I started. And after having my son in 2009 I took a couple semesters off. But my #1 goal is to graduate from college!! I will do it and I know I can do it. The journey has not been easy at all so far but when I do accomplish this I will be very proud of myself!!

Facts
*Biggest loser fan*

Hi Jenilee, love your name btw! Thanks for stopping by my blog =) I love connecting with fellow photographers, it's such a great way to stay inspired, learn and grow as an artist. I've subscribed, joined your tweets and am also a FB peep =) I absolutely LOVE LOVE your birth image on your first I Heart Faces challenge, that is AWEsome & priceless! That was the one images I HAD to have when my baby was born, that very first very new birth shot of her..I'm partial to babies though. I also love your wheat looking nature one, it's on the thumbnail that says "nature" I can see that in some magazine or something! Your work is great, my best to you in your classes. I too am in school, a challenge with a baby ha...and a home...and hubby...oh the many hats we wear. I look forward to staying connected with you.

Hi there, my name is Courtney Knapp. I don't know if this is where I'm supposed to comment for the contest, but I just became your friend on myspace and your fan on facebook. My favorite pictures are the two bottom pictures of your son's 1st b-day. His eyes look amazing, and contrast really nicely with the fall leaves. I also really like the b&w photo of the little boy playing in the waves at the beach (in your portfolio).
