I have moved!!!

2010-07-10T12:49:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone! Just wanted to let you know that I have moved from this blog. I'll no longer be posting here, but you can catch up with me on the NEW blog:

www.jackiebanksphotography.blogspot.com

To make a long story short, the former business name was CreekBank Photography, (clever right, playing off of my last name). But, when I created my website through Shutterfly, Creekbank Photography was taken. Soooooo, I had to come up with a new name and for lack of creativity, I choose Jackie Banks Photography. So just wanted a blog to match the business name. Anyhow, check out the new blog. It's under construction now so you'll notice some changes on it coming soon.

Also, I've posted several new pics from the Engagement Shoot I had on Thursday. So you in my new blogging home!!

Danae is 2!!!

2010-06-17T14:03:00.000-07:00

Oh my goodness!! What a time we had taking Danae's 2 year pictures, family pictures and her Mommy's maternity pictures. She is not the little baby that laid still for me any longer! I had to chase this little one around and had so much fun doing it! Foster, my little boy, had a blast chasing her too! More pictures to come soon. Still editing!!

Danae waving bye-bye!

Sandwich kiss!

Danae and Daddy!

2010-01-17T19:41:00.000-08:00

Today, I did my first maternity shoot and how fun was it!!! Ellen was willing to try anything and she had some great ideas of her own! The kids did a fantastic job in front of the camera. Especially, soon to be "BIG Sis!" Her are just a couple of shots. There will be many more to come in a few days!!

Just a few more weeks before Baby Bella makes her appearance!

Big Sis already loves little Sissy!

I know! You're probably shielding your eyes from all the colors you're seeing on my blog. But, you know, I am who I am, and I like color! I thought I would go out on a limb and test some of my creativity. I also created a new logo, which I am very proud of!!

Hope you enjoy the colorful changes! I am scheduling photo shoots for the upcoming Spring Season, so contact me soon!!

Make this day your own!!

My Future Daughter-In-Law!!

2009-12-31T12:14:00.000-08:00

Just before Christmas, I took a few quick shoots of Little Danae! She and Foster, my little man, were just too occupied to sit still for pictures long! Here are a few shots of Danae. I just love the first one!

Mommy told her to make a "fishy" face!

Blowing us a kiss!

I think she's had enough!

Little Ms. Pink

2009-12-23T07:11:00.000-08:00

What a doll!! A couple of weeks ago I photographed this cutie!! She turned on for the camera!! I just love that pink hat!!

Cousin's Senior Pictures

2009-12-20T10:42:00.000-08:00

Just after Thanksgiving, I met my crazy Aunt and Cousin in Paintsville, KY to take my cousin's Senior Pictures! What a great time we had!! By the end of the shoot, my face was hurting from smiling and laughing so much! Here are just a few pics from that day. More are on my website! I just love Senior Pictures!

Resize gone wrong!

2009-10-12T11:53:00.001-07:00

The pictures below are little fuzzy due to me incorrectly resizing them. I'll get it fixed ASAP!

The Wright Girls!

2009-10-11T16:04:00.000-07:00

I had an absolute blast taking pictures of the "Wright" Girls on Saturday afternoon! It was a cool, cloudy day but we made the best of it! After my sister-in-law told me about how beautiful Baldwin Farms was, I knew that's where we had to go, and it was wonderful! There was so much to do and see.
Destini turned on for the camera! I just loved it when she would "strike a pose" for me! I had a hard time deciding which pics to include so I added several of my favorites! Don't you just love the pink bow in her hair?

Destini is looking for "kittens" in the barn!

One of her many "strike a pose."

Gorgeous.

Doesn't this picture just sum up childhood?

Runway model pose!

Head out to Baldwin Farms! It's great!

The "Wright" Girls!

Dana & Tommy's Wedding

2009-09-23T11:03:00.000-07:00

Holy Cow! It's been almost a month since I shot Dana & Tommy's wedding and I'm just posting it! Where has the time gone?! Dana was gorious and Tommy was NERVOUS, (even I could tell that), but the wedding was wonderful! You could see the love between them. God has truly blessed this wonderful family!

Here are a few shots from the wedding!

Dana & Tommy

2009-08-22T12:37:00.001-07:00

What an amazing couple! The love that Dana and Tommy share comes through the pictures! We had so much fun taking these engagement shots! They were so comfortable in front of the camera, and, not to mention, Tommy is a ham!

Love this one!

Little Danae's 1 Year Pictutres

2009-08-22T12:29:00.000-07:00

I took Danae's 1 year pictures last week! Boy, did we pick a HOT day! TOO HOT! Next time, we'll choose a nice, cool day in the fall. But, I was able to get a few cute shots of little Danae!

I LOVE these three shots!!

Joseph's Senior Pictures

2009-05-05T19:32:00.000-07:00

This afternoon, I took Senior Pictures of my next door neighbor, Joseph. We walked down the street, into another neighbor's backyard, and started shooting away. We even took shots with Joseph's best pals, Curtis and Brutus (Joseph's dogs). Now that was FUN! Trying to keep the boys, (the dogs - not Joseph) still long enough to snatch a shot of them was challenging but fun and exhausting! Joseph graduates high school and heads off to Boot Camp in just a few weeks.

Joseph & The Boys

Brutus......Joseph's Sidekick

Curtis....The Sweetheart

The Owens' Family Easter

2009-04-11T18:30:00.000-07:00

I had so much fun taking Emily, Johnny, and Danae's Easter pictures! Danae really makes me work for a smile, so if I get one, I get excited! She is too much fun - always squeeling and LOVES her Mommy! I just love taking pictures of this wonderful family!

Sandwich Kiss!

I love little Danae's face.

If this doesn't make you smile.....

What blue eyes!

Tired Danae.

This is one cute Chick!

Daddy's Girl!?

This is love.

I got a smile!!

I count this as a smile!

She's trying to figure me out in this shot!

American Hero

2009-04-11T08:55:00.000-07:00

I can't believe it but Clinton, my little brother, is in Japan. He is a United States Marine and has been stationed there for the next three years. His wife, Andria, is with him, so it's good he isn't alone. I am so proud of him, but wish he were closer to home. It will be hard not having him here for holidays, birthdays, or just to pick up the phone whenever I want just to say hi. But this is his adventure and who am I to stand in his way. If you ever run out of things to pray for, remember Clinton and Andria.

Here are a couple of shots taken at Christmas of Clinton, Andria and my crazy little boy, Foster.

Visiting the Bluegrass

2009-02-16T14:36:00.000-08:00

My sister-in-law, Andria, is on her way to Kentucky to spend a few days with us and some friends. Next month, Andria and my very brave little brother, Clinton, will be moving to Japan for three years. Clinton is a United States Marine and will be stationed there, (expect pictures of Clinton and his beautiful nephew soon). Wish Clinton could be here for a visit too, but we hope to get the whole family together one last time before the big move very soon. I'll keep you posted!

Beautiful Ice Storm

2009-02-03T11:14:00.000-08:00

Well, we made it through the ice storm! We were only without power for about 20 hours, unlike most of Madison county. It was fun for just a moment to sit by the fireplace, warm chilli up using the fire, listening to the radio in the dark.....then it got cold and most of the fun went away! But, the ice glazed everything over and outside just sparkled! It was gorious! I couldn't help but grab my camera and head out the door to see what I could find! Here are a few shots I took behind my house. I just love all the sparkle!

One of my favoite shots!

2009-01-20T11:18:00.000-08:00

A couple of weeks ago, I took some Family Photos of some friends of mine. They have a 6 month old daughter, Danae, who seems to enjoy having a camera on her.

I LOVE this shot. Can you believe Danae made that face herself?! It looks as if she is saying, "Mom! Dad! GROSS!" I couldn't believe I caught that face! That is priceless! Love it!

Off and ROLLING!!

2009-01-19T12:46:00.001-08:00

Okay, here we go! CreekBank Photography is offically OPEN for business! I can't tell you just how excited I am. This is truly a dream come true to take pictures for a living! I can honestly say this is the best job I have ever had!

I am in the Real Yellow Pages, found under Portrait Photography. It's cool to look in the phone book and see my number listed among photographers. *Sigh* A dream come true!
