the PhotoGirls | Women Photographers across the world doing things a little different!

*welcome to the photogirls blog! *

we are a group of 12 women photographers from across the country who got together for an amazing week of networking in the outbanks of north carolina. we began "the photogirls" to learn from each others experiences and share all of our great ideas! the photogirls blog is a continuation of our sharing. between all 12 of us we have been to A LOT of weddings. the photogirls shoot destination weddings all over the world. we have seen the good, the bad, and the most beautiful. check out our monthly themes for tips, tricks and inspiration.

just in case you were wondering, the photo of all of our feet does have a story to it! we each have on knee socks in our brand colors.

oh yeah, we love comments! drop us comment and let us know who you are and what you think!

Introduction: Jena Murray

Hello our lovely readers... it's another greeting from the Pacific Northwest!

I'm Jena from Jena Murray Photography and I also hail from Bellingham, WA just like the lovely Misha Waite listed below... we even live just 3 blocks apart from one another! Bellingham is an awesome little town situated between the North Cascade Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, a hop away from the San Juan Islands and the border into British Columbia, Canada. This area is popular for destination weddings, but I also do a lot of my weddings in the Seattle and Portland areas as well as some traveling to other destinations.

Here's me (photo by Melissa Jill)...

My husband, Kevin, and I are proud parents of a 90 lbs yellow lab named Zephyr. Even though he's the size of a 5th grader, he's still our little fur baby. Zephyr has created a well worn path between my studio and Kevin's studio which is Incite Product Group. "Take your Dog to Work Day" is... well, everyday for us!

I photograph mostly a mix of children and weddings throughout the year ~ I consider myself both a photographer and a storyteller, as I try to create photographs that tell some sort of story between individuals and their loved ones, whether it's at their home, a favorite spot, or on their wedding day. I've been shooting professionally for just over 7 years and also have an new album company for wedding photographers, called Lush Albums. (If you like the look of these handmade letterpress albums, be sure to forward the link to your photographer, wink-wink!)

Here are some recent wedding photos to check out... If you are interested in seeing some of my children's work, please be sure to check out the website and blog. Cheers!
