Favorite iPhone Apps

I really love my iPhone. I think like most others who own one, it has become such an extension of me. Kind of like a third arm. I know I got along fine before its existence, but some days, I seriously wonder how. When they released the new version (2.0), Apple also officially opened the…

Lizzie Kimball - Hey Jen!

I totally love Shazam! It’s magical, I never miss a song! Even if I’m in a busy store and hear a song I like it always picks it up. Love it!

Worldle is also really great- it’s a word game where you have to take shuffled letters and make as many words as you can out of it in a certain amount of time. I’m addicted to it!

Collapse is also really fun :) I played that growing up on the computer all the time so I was really excited to see it in the App store!

And then there’s the good ‘ol Google Earth and Urbanspoon. Both are great and really handy when I’m in an unfamiliar location!

I hope all is going well! I’m in the process of writing you and Kim a testimonial for the workshops- you two seriously saved my photography skills! Without you two I’d be an empty toolbox scratching my head :) thanks so much!

Joanie Levine - Hey Jennifer!

Jason uses Shazam all the time, in Europe or wherever he may be:), he LOVES it. It works all over the world and even in REALLY loud places! I use the CameraBag and Facebook apps daily. I also found some neat apps Jack plays with, Animals & PocketGuitar. I also record Jack all the time with iProRecorder and email the recordings to Jason when he is on a trip.

Glad to hear all is well with the kids! :) Take Care!
Keep Bloggin'

Hi. It’s me.

Last night I took a break from the Academy Awards to quickly scan my email and see if there was anything urgent I needed to respond to. There wasn’t, but I did see the PPA Fresh Blog contest winners were announced, so I clicked through. Now, I knew in my heart that I did not…

Jennifer Bowen - Heather – I would love to get lunch! I’ll email you.

Olivia – I agree – it didnt work that well. She was too stoic up there. But who am I to judge. I would hate being in that situation!

February 23, 2009 - 3:04 pm

Tira J - Hi Jennifer. I am looking forward to your upcoming posts about life, photography, etc. I am not a mom yet, but hope that by reading your blog and others that by the time that miracle happens, I will be well versed. Blessings to you!

Heather at Outstanding Occasions - You are so cute! Looking forward to the mommy addition to your blog:) I need to spend a day with you, Jordan and Alex so I can see if I can handle another child. We are on the face about it. Always thought I would have two, but not sure anymore:( I know you don’t need another person asking to do lunch, but I would love to have lunch someday when you get a chance. I will even get it and bring it to your house and maybe the kids can play:)

February 23, 2009 - 10:33 am

Olivia - First of all, I love you and your blog!

Secondly, I think Jennifer Aniston was totally nervous and trying to play it cool, but it didn’t work!

Looking forward to your blog entries!

Fresh Blogs Contest

Allrighty, I am shamelessly asking for your vote for the PPA Magazine “Fresh Blogs” contest. There are many great ones on there, so it’s very stiff competition, but you can’t win if you don’t try, right? The credit for my blog design goes to the awesome Ryan Brannen of One Red Key, whose designs are…

Alexander’s First Photo Shoot

Alex had his first ‘official’ photo shoot last week. And of course I had to bring my Jordan into some as well. I will say I have found it’s definitely easier to take pictures of other people’s newborns than your own, simply because I was managing both the shoot side of things and the mommy…

Amanda - I love the one with the green hat where he has his hand on his chin like he’s pondering a deep thought – I think it’s perfect :-) I wonder what it looks like in black and white?

February 9, 2009 - 9:16 pm

Suzanne Searle - I like #1 best, followed by #3 (which I love, but if it’s just for Alex’s room I like 1 better). All gorgeous.

February 5, 2009 - 8:24 am

Jenny - Adorable Jen! Love them all! I think the first two would make awesome canvases for above his crib! Love the last one with Alex and Jordan too…definitely canvas worthy! :) Congrats again!

Kimberly Jarman - Jen, I LOVE them… I love how you brought Jordan in! I know.. it’s so hard to get pictures of your own child. AHHH..

So when I come over how about I take a couple of you and Alexander together. I’m hoping next week I can come by.

February 4, 2009 - 5:16 pm

Wendy - I like the one of Alexander on Jordan’s back too! So precious and beautiful! He’s perfect, Jennifer!

Blessings!
