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

It’s been a crazy week with the family getting sick, then I caught what they had plus some… I really appreciate my families being so patient as I finish their sneak peeks and galleries a couple of days behind when I promised them.  And I hope you agree they are worth the wait! Here’s a gorgeous brother & sister that were so sweet & photogenic :) I hope you love your pics – I will be emailing you the gallery login info very soon! 

We got so many amazing pics – easy to do with such beautiful children both with AMAZING eyes!

Eeeeeee!!! :)

The sun is shining!!! I’m so excited to finally get to shoot outside!!! It’s been a long winter…

This lovely baby girl was super excited as well – and beautiful and busy and so very very sweet!

I am actually kinda sad for this session, though – she is yet another of my Year to Remember babies to have her first birthday and thus the final session of her year plan.  

I have loved watching you grow, sweet Ryleigh bear, and I know there is a lot of big things & beauty in your future ;)

I don’t usually do a lot of props or holiday themed pics, but her mommy brought this easter basket and bunny and I got this bright & simple vision of how to I wanted to photograph it -

even got to break out the bunny ears hat that I bought for Alina last year & never used! 

 

from her newborn session….

3 months…

6 months…

9 months…

And now a year old!

Happy birthday sweet girl!

Kasie Moffett - These are so cute! I love the bunny hat.

sharon Miller - Darling! One pic.is cuter than the next. You both should feel very blessed, and enjoy the smiles she brings to your hearts. Hope we get to see her soon. Maybe the weather will cooperate!Love to see you all! Sharon

SHARON SIMMONS - THESE ARE ADORABLE and the "model" makes the picture. I kept scrolling down thinking this is the most adorable, and then there would be another one and then another . . . Unbelievable how cute she is! Congrats to a darling Mom and Dad with this precious little family.

The face of an angel

Showin’ off her 2 bottom teeth!

Her mama had read what I posted a week or 2 ago about bringing a favorite fabric or pattern, and she brought some of the remnant fabric from her bedding – LOVE the red! (and totally goes with my newly redesigned website!)

And just love her little look here…

No idea what daddy was doing in these but she sure liked it!  Either that or she was laughing at my poor spanish skillz…. hmmmm… ;)

Hope you love your pics! See you in a few months for your next session!!    -j

sleeping beauties

I am the luckiest.  Plain and simple.  I mean, I know that all babies are beautiful, but c’mon – MY baby planner families just blow gorgeous out of the water :)

This sweet baby girl is just a week old and a tiny little peanut at only 6 pounds.  I am so looking forward to seeing her grow and bloom.  And did I mention how cool her parents and big sister are?  Love everything about them :)

Thanks again for choosing me guys – hope you love the pics!

The next couple are a dress from Dimples & Dandelions – check out their site or visit their store in Frisco :)

sweeter than honey

This little angel baby is my newest Year to Remember baby!  She and her mommy came to visit me in the studio for her first session, and she even let me get some beautiful sleeping pics.  Love it!  Here she is, 2 months old :)

So if anyone is out there thinking that you would like to go with my baby plan but you missed the newborn window, we just rework it fit your baby’s age now.

The next few tutu pics are images for the Dimples & Dandelions website.  If you have been looking for some fun and special clothes for your next session, or you just have a sweet tooth for frilly girly outfits, this is the shop for you.  They have a new store open at the Shops of Starwood in Frisco, and you can always find them online at www.dimplesanddandelions.com

In addition to D&D, I work with several commercial clients throughout the year, and my VIPs (Year to Remember families, Party hosting families, and those booking multiple sessions in advance) get the added benefit of being chosen as models for these images! I require a signed model release on behalf of myself and the advertising company. The VIP families also get complementary images! Please email me if you are interested in being added to my model list.
