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!
So this afternoon I photographed 4 families, with 18 kids (varying ages from toddlers to young adults), in 3 hours. I was exhausted hehe, but had heaps of fun, and met heaps of wonderful people. My poor shoes and pants may never recover from the mud though lol. Thanks Paterson Street Playcentre, you guys rock!!
Here’s a preview from each family! Can’t wait to share the rest with the families once I’ve had a chance to edit them! Enjoy 
Love Jen 
Ive been a busy girl these last few weeks and keep forgetting to pop on and post some photos So this is a bit of a catch up blog.
Oh just a quick FYI, if you pop over to my facebook Fan page, you can enter to win a free portrait session. All the details are there, so check it out CLICK ME
Okay, to start off, these are all just some SNEAK previews of recent sessions. I’ll put a full post on for each once I have finished editing them!
Firstly, some photos from an AWESOME session I had this morning. I feel in love with this gorgeous bub as soon as I saw him… oh I KNEW he was gonna look amazing in his photos, and I was not disappointed. I will definitely be posting some more of him and his equally amazing looking parents and brother as soon as I can. Guys… you seriously rocked these photos, loved loved loved the session Thanks for having a bit of an adventure with me 
Argh SOOOOOO CUTE.
Anyhoo, on to the next sneaky preview. Ladies and Gentlemen…. meet Chris. He made me laugh. He let me try new things. He scared the locals. GREAT session, and can’t wait to show you more
And last but not least, Chelle! Chelle was the winner of my last Facebook Photo Giveaway. We had some crazy fun zipping around the Rose Gardens, trying to get as many shots in as I could, since it was only a mini session. I would have finished her editing by now, but I can’t stop at the 10-20 she was supposed to have for the competition lol. Anyhoo, here is a preview photo, more to come:
Right, now I better get back to work, I have wedding photos to finish, wooooohooooo Man I love my job!!

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
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 tide you over till I can edit the rest, enjoy:

Well, 2009 was an AMAZING year for me. Absolutely amazing. Where do I start.
I have been doing photography for a while now, but 2009….. 2009 was the year I can look back on and say its when I REALLY became a photographer. I fell, I got back up again, I wanted to give up 2000 times, I kicked myself each time, I cried, I laughed, I fell down exhausted, I tried, I created, I learned, I explored, I invented, and I had FUN.
I look back at the weddings I did at the start of the year, they seem like a life time ago. It was my first season of weddings. And MAN was I scared/nervous/terrified. But I met some beautifully awesome brides and grooms, that helped me grow and shape my style, that trusted me enough to capture their day, that gave me confidence when I had none. And I thank them all, from the bottom of my stubby toes, to the tip of my squishy brain And then there were all the families that came to me for portrait sessions. MAN did I meet some interesting people last year. You were all wonderful, seriously. I look back over the photos from the year, and I get all emotional… simply because of the connection I feel with all of you. 80% of my clients added me as a friend on facebook… 80%. Thats incredible. I love watching how their lives develop, how relationships bloom, how the children grow
I’m smack dab in the middle of my second season of weddings… Im still scared/nervous/terrified. But I think thats a good thing. It pushes me to be better, to want more for you guys. It makes me work harder on the day of your wedding, or on your portrait session, to get the bests shots I possibly can. I still have a LONG way to go to get to where I want to be with photography, so much to learn and try. But Im doing it. And maybe this year I will only want to give up 1000 times
Stick with me, cause its going to be an interesting ride… watch out 2010, Jen is loose with her camera
Now, I looked at every single photo I took in 2009 (yes it took me forever), and I was going to share with you my top 25 images. But I could not get it down to 25 haha, so I chose 40. These are not all the best photos technically, but they are the ones that either make me very proud, or make me smile. So here they are….
