About Jennifer Johnston-Clark: Photography

I have been doing photography for a while now, and I cannot believe how lucky I am to be living my dream. I wake up every morning and pinch myself. I have the most fantastic, unique, and interesting clients. Every job I get is a new adventure, and its incredible. My life is an absolute adventure and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I love shooting the variety of life. Any culture, any religion, any sexuality. Everybody has a story to share with the world, ... and my camera!

    Personal: A holiday, a birthday, and a whole lot of love :D

    Sunday, July 25th, 2010

    Oh we have been hanging out for this holiday for… well… a year lol. When Nico and I got married, we decided that every year, around our anniversary, we would take time off to celebrate it :) This year we had just under 2 weeks. First we went up to Auckland to visit family and celebrate my birthday… yep… Im even older and crustier now!

    Then we came home and I tried to resist working… its hard when you A) Love your job and B) Run your own business.

    On our actual anniversary we headed to Raglan, to stay the night at the Holiday Park (run by my uncle and aunty). We didnt have any plans, maybe just a romantic dinner in our cabin/room. But then… the fabulous uncle and aunty of mine offered us their spa pool, since they were going out for a few hours. Mighty generous since we had no togs lol. Their spa is out on their deck overlooking the whole park. So we jumped in, turned on the jets, and snuggled in the warm water as the rain poured down on our heads. It… was… SO ROMANTIC and totally made our holiday. I know thats weird, because its just a spa… but it was the first time in the week since our holiday had started, that I relaxed, and stopped thinking…! So awesome :D PS…. to all holiday campers in Raglan… forget what you saw on the deck that night, there was NOT two naked photographers climbing in and out of a spa pool!!!!! It was probably just a plastic bag or a whale or something :D

    Anyway, back to holiday talk…

    Last night Nico and I babysat for 3 kiddies. Overnight. 24 hours of kid watching. We are tired haha. But it was totally for a worthy cause (which I will so have to blog about in a couple of days), and the kids had an awesome time, so we’re happy :D

    Now we just have one day left of holiday (Monday)… then I will need to dive in my emails and try and reply to all the people who have been sending me messages while I lazed around doing nothing lol.

    I just want to say this… Nico… baby… Happy Third Anniversary. I love you, my rock, my shoulder, my heart, my soul, my companion, my best friend, my tickle monster, my fun and laughter, my hero. To another year of absolute love :D

    Love Jen :D

    Family Preview: Making it Work

    Saturday, February 20th, 2010

    Yesterday afternoon was a great day. I met up with Lynn and her awesome family for another photo shoot. We went to the Rose Gardens, only to find them clanging the gates shut, thanks to the Summer Festival. So we did some walking and found some other spots for photos :D

    Now, I LOVE this family, seriously. They are all so gorgeous, inside and out. Not only that, but they make me laugh, out loud, ALOT.

    So here is just a couple of sneaky peaky photos to tideĀ  you over till I can edit the rest, enjoy:

    Secondly, biiiiig news. The website has been completely redone. It’s basically the ‘official’ launch of my photography business. I couldn’t be happier about it. Nico and I have both been working so hard on it over the last month, and are so glad it is finally up for you all to see ;D Make sure to check it out, all new pages, prices, photos and information! Thankyou soooo much to everyone who has let me point my camera at them up until this point, you guys are the ones that make this all possible. You are the ones that helped me to live my dream. I am forever grateful. And dont think I will forget about you all, you know there will always be discounts for repeat clients ;) MUA!!

    Guy Fawkes time again, as if you couldnt tell by the copious amounts of terrified animals roaming the streets hehe. Nico and I dragged his parents along to the fireworks display in Ohaupo last night. I thought it would be a perfect time to try fireworks photography. The show was pretty short, approx 5 minutes, which was a bit sad. But the fireworks themselves were awesome.

    Ive never done fireworks photography before, and so it was really just a trial…. but, I actually got some pretty funky ones!!

    Heres a couple of shots I took while we were waiting for the show to start… I love long shutter speed!

    This is one of the crowd, love it:

But before that, I just want to say congratulations to Nico’s brother Kahn, his baby son was born the other night, and they have named him Tristan! Hopefully we will get to see him at Christmas time! So Nico and I are now Aunty and Uncle to a niece AND nephew, yay!

    I cannot WAIT to photograph Michelle and Michaels Wedding on Saturday (halloween, ooooo). They are such an outrageously cool couple, and photographing them is going to be so much fun! The other day Michelle dropped in to chat about the wedding day (although I think we talked way more about the men folk than we did weddings lol), and I just could NOT resist grabbing my camera and taking some snaps of her cute cute cute pudgy cheeked daughter, I wanted to be a nana and squeeze them… seriously, I think I need help lol. I should not be allowed around cute babies, cause I go all gaga!

    Anyhoo, here are some of the cute photos, Im sure there will be heaps more on the wedding day…. yay just one more week to wait:

    Love Jen
