Mira | One Year

The Jacobus Duo — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 15:27:44 +0000

Ive said it before. When I shoot families it holds a special place in my heart. I love seeing all kinds of personalities meshed into a solid and happy foundation. Jared and I have been married for a little over 3 years now and the urge to get started our own family has been in full swing. We still desire to wait a few years to have kids but seeing happy families gives us that much more excitement about starting our own. I had the wonderful joy of shooting Mira’s one year old photographs. If you remember, I shot Mira when she was just a tiny little baby. I fell in love instantly with this family because their personalities were so much like my own. First meeting the entire clan I was surrounded with such energy, kindness and openness. Did I mention energy? I remember family members standing behind me working so hard at getting young Mira’s attention. With BIIIINNNGGGG’s…AHHHHHH’s and loud claps I knew I had come into a family after my own heart. If any of you have ever worked with me you know that I get overly excited about fantastic images. Sometimes I even let out a gigantic squeal. When I shoot babies?? You better believe I know fantastic and super embarrassing versions- with maybe a tad of crazy goofy faces mixed in- of “I’m a Little Tea Pot” and “Ittsy Bittsy Spider”.

If you are the few around me when Im working…I apologize. I promise I didn’t just escape from the mental institute. I love making people laugh, and I’ll do anything to achieve it. =)

Happy Thursday folks!

Whitney and Doug | Married

The Jacobus Duo — Mon, 17 May 2010 14:31:34 +0000

I could go way back when and tell you the story of how Whitney and I met. I wont. But lets just say it involved pig tails, dandelion picking and T-ball. My brother in law, Doug, was chatting with Jared and I one night and he began to tell us about this girl he ran into from High School! With curious ears Jared and I (mostly me) began asking multiple questions about this gal that Doug had become smitten with. Her name was Whitney Sherman. He continued to tell us how he really enjoyed hanging out with her. They never hung out in High School nor did they ever really speak to each other. About three months rolled by (I think) and it was around Christmas time when Doug and Whitney announced they were going to get married. How excited were we?? Doug ACTUALLY found someone!! Like for real! Just kidding Dougal, you know I love you. When Doug and Whitney approached Jared and I and asked us if we wanted to be in the wedding or shoot it my mind over flowed with this and that theories. On one hand it definitely would be nice to actually attend a wedding. On the other hand I wouldn’t be able to contain my voice of opinion when it came to another photographer directing. I simply replied…I’ll shoot!! Jared had no choice. Being Doug’s brother it was a given he was going to be a Groomsmen. This made the experience super fun for me. I got to shoot my hubby in a tux!!

A year and half rolled by. The day was finally here. When I first saw Whitney on her wedding day she was so incredibly calm. Whitney has a laid back personality anyways but she was extra laid back that morning. Doug was really calm too. The day breezed by as scheduled and it couldn’t have been more beautiful.

Thank you Doug and Whitney for having me be apart of your lives and the biggest day of your life thus far. I love you both very much and I cant wait to see how our families all grow up together.

Whitneys dress came from Bella Laccio Bridal in uptown Westerville!
