October 2021 | a blog post just because | St. Albert Photographer

So, I was writing a blog post, just minutes ago, and as I went to add a photograph, I accidently deleted the whole blog post. I thought I was removing the photograph that I had selected, but instead deleted my well written post, that I had finally sat down to write. Isn’t that how life feels sometimes.

But, I will not let myself be to discouraged. Sometimes, the best stories, and maybe more interesting blog posts, stem from moments like that? So, here goes.

I was writing about how thankful I am for all my 2021 clients. I photographed many beautiful family sessions, creative portraits, and second shot several weddings. It was a privilege and blessing to be welcomed into your stories and document memories for you.

I remember the day that my Dad gave me my first film point and shoot camera, when I was maybe twelve or thirteen years old. I remember the first photographs I took with it; my cat and my younger siblings and their friends up our childhood street. Those photographs are etched into my memory, even if I hadn’t looked at them since. I feel like the act of taking a photograph helps preserve the moment more clearly in our memory; being intentional to really see and appreciate what is in front of us. Of course there is balance in that, as with everything. I am thankful that I have been able to photograph my family and my life.

As the end of October draws near, and November soon meets December, I hope to embrace these quieter days and spend time being creative through my personal photography. I am planning to photograph more self portraits and creative flat lays. I love how we can photograph the same person or items time and again, but we can always create a different outcome, and something new. There is always something new to create in any form of art.

I am hoping to be in this space more often from now on! I plan to share more about myself, this photography business, and share other interests and art forms with you as well.

& I wanted to let you know that Jessica Leanne Photography is currently booking sessions in November and December 2021, and into 2022, in St. Albert, AB. You can find some of my work on this blog and throughout this website, as well as on my facebook page and instagram ( you can find the links on my homepage).

I hope you’re all doing well!
