I am really excited to have confirmed plans to be Des Moines October 10th through the 18th. I’ve got the studio location reserved and have a whole list of on-location areas that would be perfect for child and family sessions.

What I am really excited about is that session fees for my time/talent will be done as a donation to the Carlisle Area Dollars For Scholars. This is a great program that raises money to fund over 75 scholarships for Carlisle High School seniors each year.  I should have more details on that, as well as the special print and product pricing, in the next week or so.

If you are interested in scheduling a session, please contact me at 602-570-0698 or meggan@megganjacks.com.

I first met Maddie when she was her sister, Melanie’s age, waaaayy back in early 2006. Well, to keep all things fair and square between two sisters, Miss Melanie needed to have some gorgeous portraits to celebrate her own 2nd year!  Maddie, Melanie and I (oh, and their mom!) had great time dancing and laughing.

Miss Tatum brought her new little sister, Madison, in to see me a little over a week ago.  I have a feeling in a couple years, once they get past the “why don’t you share your toys with me” stage, they will be two peas in a pod! So cute together!

This one makes me laugh.

I met the wonderful H family when they were expecting their second child, Chloe, in February 2005.  Over the past 4.5 years, we’ve become good friends and I was excited beyond belief when told they were expecting another baby (I’ve already reserved some extra cuddle time with baby Tanner!)  Last week they all came in to see me to capture some gorgeous family images to celebrate the anticipation of Tanner’s arrival. As you can see, big sisters Sophie and Chloe are jumping at the bit to meet their little brother! I have to admit I can’t wait to get my hands on the little guy and have a session with him!

Okay, I really didn’t cry (well, one small tear) but I think I still have all the fear, apprehension, anxiousness and pride that a mom of a Kindergartner can possibly contain. We are lucky to have a wonderful teacher and what looks to be a great set of kids in Kev’s class.  Can hardly wait to see what this school year brings!

(oh, and if you notice several large gaping holes in my son’s smile – he’s been loosing teeth right an left it seems… well, I guess it’s just two teeth but he’s got FOUR more that are loose!)

I enjoyed everything about this session – Mr. Chase was a pleasure to cuddle with and his big brother Jack was a bit shy, but as you can see, he loves his little brother!  Here are a few of my favorites:

Miss Logan’s 8 month session was SOOOO much fun – she brought along her posse – her mom and her mom’s two best friends!  We had a great time with a gorgeous tutu and my favorite CCDs (child containment device)!

Here are a few sneaks from her portrait session:

Just before I departed for Montana (I promise a post full of pics of that later!) I was able to spend a morning with Malia and capture her 1 year portraits.  I just finished up her gallery and wanted to share some of the “cake destruction” pictures – just SOOOO cute!
