The Geffre Family was all together for the Thanksgiving holiday and decided to come in for a long over-due family portrait session. They are such a fun family with genuine affection for one another. It was great meeting you all!

JENNA!
I had so much fun with Jenna, her mom and their cute little pup. We experimented with the wind machine and fake snow… a bit of a learning curve but I think we managed to get some cute shots. Later we headed down to Old Sac and had a blast goofing around. Thanks Jenna for such a great morning!
Jaz’s senior session Part 1. November 17, 2008
Jaz, her MeeMee and I headed up the hill to the amazing state park, Empire Mines. Such beautiful grounds and an incredible day! We decided to head up there for her photos because of the adorable cottage, colorful leaves and beautiful fountains. It was just a perfect day. Stayed tuned for part 2… the studio session.
2nd annual Jessica Giblin Photography employee holiday party at World Headquarters!!
I can’t believe it’s been a whole year since our first employee holiday party. I feel so fortunate so have such a supportive and hard working team. Thank you Shannon, Sally and Jim for your loyalty and dediction!
We schlepped our vintage orange couch out to Old Town for some fun and funky family photos. Sally was there to photograph our family and help out with Shannon’s family. Unfortunately, family photos for Sally needed to be put on hold. We’ll post them as soon as we get them!
We then ordered pizza from “Basic”… one of our favorite Roseville restaurants and continued the party at “World Headquarters” ( my house) 🙂
Mr. Independent November 15, 2008
Tarrah and Tim invited me along this morning to try to capture some photos of their 14 month son, Noah, who quickly earned the name “Mr. Independent”! This little guy was on the move the whole time and we really had to work to get a family photo…but we had lots of fun trying and Noah was full of smiles when left to his own devices! :o) Thanks you guys for a great time!! ~Sally

Girls ROCK!! November 10, 2008
Yvette and her girlfriends gathered for a fun photo shoot in Historic Oldtown Roseville, to celebrate Yvette’s 17th birthday! Our dear friend LaVonne invited Sally along to caputure some of the fun. Everyone had a great time and I think we might even have a few of America’s NEXT top models!! Work it girls!!!
Deidra is a teenager!
Our beautiful friend, Deidra, turned into a “mean-ager” earlier this month. She’s 13! I can’t believe it… I held her the day she was born. Time sure does fly. I dont think she’ll actually ever be a “mean-ager” though. She is way too sweet! We had fun with her friends last night. They applied make-up and came over for a mini-glamour session.
Happy Birthday sweet girl! We love you.
November 4th Election Day (and my Dad’s b-day) November 9, 2008
As we all know, there was something different about the election this go around. The excitement, the record numbers of voters braving the weather and long lines, and what I personally loved… kids getting interested in politics. There was so much buzz among the high-schoolers. Daily conversations not only about the next president but the propositions as well. Even though they weren’t of voting age, they seemed to believe (rightfully so, I think) that their futures were directly affected by the choices made on Nov. 4th. We watched the results and celebrated the night at an election party in Auburn.
