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." To me, 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 several 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. I am based out of Las Vegas, Nevada and am available for travel! Come back soon!

It’s all in the details

Keeping in mind that it’s better late than never :), here is my last post on the Sugar and Spice shoot! I was in love with this station from the beginning, especially when Suzanne was able to work in my new table that I’m in love with! We just affectionately called it the “detail table.” Simple, sweet, and beautiful!

Beauty all around

I knew from the very beginning that whatever kind of shoot we ended up having would not only have details, but models! After all, details are breathtaking and fun to take pictures of (hey - they don’t move! :), but you can’t get expressions, genuine interaction, or that extra “spark” without people. So bring on the models! I knew I wanted at least a few children because most of the people who attended the classes and shoot are parents, and why not learn on something you’ll actually be using? So we got our cute little models - Brynlee, Halle, and Porsha. We also wanted a teenager so we could get a few more sophisticated poses and expressions. Lucky for us, Danielle came along. She is so beautiful and sweet!

I LOVE this next one because it reminds me of a painting. I adore paintings (illustration was my first major in college), and they heavily influence my style.
