Jen Schleicher Photography Blog » Jen Schleicher Wedding and Portrait Photography

I just wanted to let everyone know that Courtney and Rich’s wedding was featured on the Wedding Chicks* yesterday!  The Wedding Chicks is blog that shares everything new, classic, funky, hip and just plain fun for weddings.  It is the perfect place for brides-to-be to go to get inspiration and find vendors for their wedding day.  They also sell pretty wedding stationary, signs, tote bags, tanks and tees over at the wc couture shop.

*Wedding Chicks is a professional trade group

I have worked in Adobe Lightroom for some time now and really love everything about the program.  It allows me to easily and quickly edit RAW files.  But one can always improve upon their skills.  So when I heard Jared Platt was offering a Lightroom Workflow Workshop, I was pumped!

I attended the workshop yesterday and wow…There was SO MUCH information Jared shared with us!  The biggest thing I took away from Jared’s workshop was his super organized workflow.   His workflow system gave me some wonderful ideas to weave into and improve upon mine.  I really like the idea of placing all the unused images in a separate folder and removing the distractions them from Lightroom altogether prior to editing.

I will be implementing his ideas over the next few months and expect to shave off up to 3 hours of editing time!  I am a happy girl :)

Jared is a great story teller. I snapped this shot of Jared during one of his stories and caught him by surprise. Ha!

I was recently interviewed by The Bokeh Pot. This is a seriously cool photography blog that features new photographers each week. Crystal Genes is the creator of this wonderful resource.  She asked me everything from “What is one item you cannot live without?” to “What is the most valuable thing about your business?”  You can read the complete interview here.

It was a pleasure Crystal!

I am so excited to announce that Jen & Matt’s wedding was featured in the October 2008 issue of the Wedding Chronicle!  They had a beautiful wedding at the Wright House in Mesa, AZ.  You can find The Wedding Chronicle at many businesses across the valley including Macy’s, Borders, AJ’s, and Whole Foods.

Welcome to the new and improved Jen Schleicher Photography blog. I hope you love it as much as I do! Please take a look around and let me know what you think.

I strongly believe in good customer relations and branding yourself. That is why this year I have decided to have custom cards made for my business. Here is a peek:

Yesterday morning I got some really fantastic news. I was informed that was accepted into the WPJA. In case you didn’t know the WPJA is the a pretty exclusive wedding photojournalist association. Needless to say I am VERY excited!

I really enjoy posting things to my blog so my friends, family and clients.

I just read an article this morning in the February 2008 issue of Inc. Magazine called “More than Idle Chatter.” It was a good read. Check it out if you have an opportunity. (sorry couldn’t find it online)

You know how you go to other photographers’ blogs or websites and drool at the sight of their pictures? Well yesterday I came across Anne Ruthmann’s blog and WOW…I love her work. I thought about how many people probably feel the same and she probably has no idea so I decided to email her and tell her how much I love her work. I unexpectedly received a email back within the hour…

“Thanks Jen! You’re one to talk! Your work looks fabulous and I can see your prices going up quickly and easily with your new website!
All the best, Anne”

Feel the love :)

I am soooo excited! My New Website is up!! This has been a long time coming. Let me know what you think! :)
