Jeanna Hayes Studios bio picture

Hey there!

Welcome to my blog! This is where I post my most recent work. I hope you enjoy looking around. I believe that photography is more than just "taking a picture." It is about capturing a moment through rose colored glasses. Beautiful photographs preserve memories forever. I have been studying the arts my entire life, and photography for almost 3 years - constantly keeping up on the "here and now." I love educating myself and improving my craft every day. Feel free to visit my official website, www.jeannahayes.com for more information. Come back soon!

Trevor & Tara

I’ve enjoyed spending time with my very favorite Aussie’s (see previous post :). Matt and Katie are the BEST. Not only are they amazing photographers, but wonderful people. I’d be friends with them if they didn’t know what a camera was! Luckily they do, and I’ve been able to accompany them on several shoots (they’re loving Las Vegas and having all sorts of new places to shoot). I’m like a kid in a candy store just learning from them, observing how they interact with couples and the “flow” of how they shoot (while being able to get some shots for myself over their shoulder….I mean, it would be a little too much to bear if I couldn’t get a few in for me! :).

I’d like to present Trevor & Tara, the beautiful couple I was able to photograph on my 2nd shoot with Katie. Trevor is my cousin and Tara is his gorgeous wife. Katie kept commenting on how much chemistry they have together, and how in love they are (which is what we photographers live for! :). They’ve been married for 4 1/2 years and have 3 kids, but have just as much affection as the day they were married.

Here are a few from my point of view:

They come from a land down unda…

I’d like to introduce:

Katie and Matt…

1. Are some of the COOLEST people I’ve ever met.

2. Have some MAD SKILLS. They are extremely talented photographers. Really.

3. Live in Australia!!!

4. Have beautiful accents (I could listen to them all day).

5. Are head-over-heels, crazy in love with each other.

6. Have pretty much talked me into buying all sorts of new equipment (not on purpose :).

7. Are amazing in every way.

Ok, can you tell I’m a fan? I came across Matt & Katie’s old company, Shadowplay, about a year ago. I followed their blog and reveled in their amazing-ness. They’ve now re-branded into just “Matt and Katie” and I adore what they’ve done. Check them out: http://mattandkatieblog.com.au/ . You can image the jumping up and down that occurred in my house when I got an email from Matt, asking if I would “Katie-sit” while he was at workshops the few days leading up to WPPI. When I suggested a few places, Matt decided he wanted in on the fun, too! So we went last night on our first of many shoots the next coming days.

In fact, I’m late picking Katie up, so here are a few for now!….

By the way, a BIG thank you to Jes & Tony for being so fabulous to photograph!
