Jim Kennedy Photographers Welcome to my life. I'm so excited to be able to share stories of all the great people I get to photograph every week. I will also be able to share a little of my personal life as well. Not only will I be sharing with you my stories but also a little about the great team of photographers that have partnered up with my studio and the people they photograph. I feel so privileged to call them Jim Kennedy Photographers. We all love what we do for a living. They say that once you find what you love to do you'll never work another day in your life. That sums up my life exactly. Welcome to my world.

For His Eye’s Only

» View Full Post

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

I haven’t posted any for his eyes only images in a while. Just want to remind all brides to be out there that these pictures will make the best give ever for your groom to be. They are so popular at my studio. I’ve been doing about 4 or 5 sessions a week. Even if your already married these will make for a great gift no matter what the occasion.
Tamara rocked it at her session. I know her groom had to be blown away by her photos.

This shot was taken in one of the alley’s near my studio. I love getting the girls out in the streets wearing next to nothing. It’s always a blast.

I have also have our dress shop to use for the shoots. It works so well.

These two are so much fun to shoot.

This session was a blast. Tarah and SCott live in Las Vegas. So we thought it would be perfect to do their engagement session at the old neon sign graveyard in Vegas. It was great using all the old signs as props.

A week in Cozumel

» View Full Post

Friday, June 20th, 2008

Well I just returned home yesterday from a great trip. I spent the last week with my daughter in Cozumel. I actually blocked out a weekend from weddings so I could take this trip. It was fathers day weekend and last week my daughter graduated high school. So I wanted to do a father daughter trip. She had been showing an interest in scuba diving. So I decided to get her certified and go hang out in Cozumel. I actually got certified a few years back but only did a few dives. So I’m still getting used to diving. So it was a great trip for us both to work on our diving skills. After this week of diving I know my next investment is going to be an underwater camera. I had to use one of those underwater disposable camera’s just to get a couple shots under the water.

First stop was some mexican food.

We stayed in a great condo a few miles south of downtown.

I need a sign like this for when the kids start complaining.

Korynn had fun driving our jeep around the island.

We found this little ice cream shop in town that had the best ice cream ever.

One of our favorite places to eat was called Ernesto’s Fajita’s. This was the view from our table. The water is so beautiful in Cozumel.

This is the beach right outside our condo. It was so great the dive company would pick us up right at our pier every morning.

For the week we logged 11 dives. It was such a blast. I can’t wait to go back. It was such a blast hanging out with my daughter. Life is all about experiences. This week was full of them.

Well I’ve been out of town for the last 9 days. So now I’m catching up on blogging the wedding I shot just before I left town. It was a great day hanging out with Amy & Kevin at one of my favorite locations.

I love the different colored flowers. Fantasy Floral did a beautiful job on the flowers.

They wanted to see each other before the wedding. They wanted to get as many of the pictures. out of the way before the wedding as possible. I always like showing how this makes for some really great moments. And the moment of her coming down the isle is also still a great moment.
