Jonnye Bower Photography bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

Welcome to my new blog! It is still a work in progress, so check back often to see the improvements!

My new studio in the historic square in downtown McKinney is open for business! It is a fantastic space with gorgeous natural light and lots of opportunity for great outdoor pics in urban and natural settings.

If you would like to have your custom session there or see samples of the print products I offer, or just grab a quick cup of coffee, please email me so we can meet up!

I have several specials, so email us for details at info@jbowerphoto.com


a beautiful new life

This little angel is one of the most beautiful newborns I have ever seen, and I am so happy to be photographing her first Year to Remember!  Thank you again for choosing me :)

Gorgeous family & amazing light in their home…

a few more of her super adorable big brother!

She took her sweet time falling asleep for us, but when she did I was able to get several lovely pics!

I couldn’t decide which to post – b/w or color… love them both!

On vacation! Studio closed July 17-26

We are leaving tonight for a fun LONG camping trip in the Rocky mountains full of hiking, mountain biking and fishing!  Oh yeah, and pictures ;)

We will be returning on monday July 26th.  I will do my best to answer emails as I can (not sure how great the reception is where we will be).

Brenna is continuing with ordering sessions and helping me with emails – all questions should be directed  to info@jbowerphoto.com

Thanks!

wrapped up in light…

Just a quick note about how much I love my studio – the light is so gorgeous and there are so many fun spots outside around the square.  Makes me so happy…

I had a blast with these kiddos! They were fun and bouncy and we got amazing pictures! Hope you love ‘em too :)

Nicki B - Beautiful smiles!

Summer - Man, you got so many awesome ones of her looking right at the camera. Awesome. I could eat her up too with those cheeks.

Sarah - Love them all!!! Thanks so much Jonnye!

Jess - What a cute baby! Gorgeous photos!

Hattie C. - Your work with babies is phenomenal and completely inspiring.

Full :)

What a perfect day, and a beautiful family with so much love, and lots of time to enjoy it all…

Let me just say how nice it was to hang out with and get to know this sweet family during their full session.  I am always so happy when families book the 2 hour session because it really gives us a chance to let kids be themselves and play, and parents can be less pressured to try to fit in as much as possible into a shorter time restraint.   Full sessions make my heart happy…

I am so proud if the many many images we captured together – there are way more than I usually retouch and your gallery is HUGE, but I just couldn’t stop myself.

I hope you love them too!

Meredith - Hmm...that should have said, "Can't.... wait to get a big print of your work on our walls"

Eric - The pictures turned out great! I love the close up shot of baby Reed and his big blue eyes and the shots of the two boys together reading their comic book. Great job!

Monique Blackman - The boys are gorgeous!

Curtis Blackman - What sweet pictures of the boys. Reeds' eyes are mesmerizing and Riley is becoming such a good look looking young man. Can't believe how his teeth have fully come in since I last saw him.

Judy Gerardot - Adorable children, adorable photos! Jonny, you work hard and the results are awesome, thanks!

tammy - Sooooooo Cute! I love your Arboretum sessions!

Blink and you’ll miss it…

The sweet chubby cheeks and big bright eyes… I’m feeling a bit sentimental tonight.  This beautiful baby girl is another of my Year to Remember babies who just had to go and become a toddler.  Good thing I got to snap a few pictures along the way ;)

Take a peek at her newborn session here…

I have always loved this mama’s style and the outfits she’s chosen for each session, and this shoot was no different. Honestly though, we could have thrown a potato sack on this sweet girl and she would still be perfect.  I hope you love your sneak peek and your slideshow & gallery will be ready very soon :)

On a side note – The Summer of Love mini sessions have booked up very quickly, so I am opening up 3 new spots for those still interested.  Email us for details – info@jbowerphoto.com

{swoon}… and a contest!

I love my Year to Remember babies so much. And this sweet boy will forever be one of my absolute favorites.  Those big beautiful eyes, chubby cheeks, beaming personality and huge happy grins made every session such a joy, and I think you can see it in the pictures.  Even his serious expressions make me swoon! I usually try to put a few pics from every session in the past year into these “graduate” posts, but I decided instead to feature a ton of pics from this last Year to Remember session instead.  I hope everyone enjoys :)

Ok, who is ready to win a free session?…

The first person to post all the names of this baby’s previous session blog posts IN ORDER in the comments box below will get a free Summer of Love Mini Session! For example – newborn session was called “i love my little babies”, next session was called “happy babies are the best”, etc – get it? This is a little scavenger hunt, so pay attention while flipping through my past blog posts and Good Luck!

We have gotten so many beautiful family pictures in the past year, but Mama specifically asked for a few more special mother & son images, so here you go Mama :)

It was such a beautiful day at the Dallas Arboretum.  Let the summer begin!

I love to end my summer Arboretum sessions with the kiddos playing at the frog fountains.

Baby J is still a little young to jump in, but he REALLY wanted to! Next time for sure ;-)
