JPP at the Pennsylvania Farm Show

Going to the Pennsylvania Farm Show is a HUGE tradition in my family. I believe that I have been there almost every year of my life. This year was Rickey's first year at the farm show! Here are some highlights from the day!

A big part of the tradition is taking a picture in the tire of a tractor and the bigger the better - I'm not looking so fabulous in this picture so bear with me!

And just for fun - here is a picture of me at the Farm Show when I was Rickey's age (well actually one month older than Rickey) with my Uncle Stan!

All Things Mommy

I apologize for neglecting the blog for so long! I have been very busy doing all things Mommy! Our crazy household was down for the count first with colds and now with the stomach bug! This leaves no time for blogging or for picture taking actually!

But here is a shot that Rick took while Rickey was napping and I was de-germing the house!

Bear with us until we can get back to our regularly scheduled blogging!

Big Plans for 2011

I usually don't make New Year's resolutions because I just break them in like 5 minutes - but this year I'm going to make "goals" instead of resolutions. - I made personal "goals" and Jennifer Parke Photography "goals" - here are a few of my favorites

• Make new connections (network baby!)
• Upgrade my gear (I am always dying to do this but try terrible to control myself)
• Learn new things (editing styles; organizational skills)
• Rebrand ( getting the JPP website up and going was beyond frustrating for me and I gave up - and the hubs took over - but I need it to be a better representation of me - so I think I'm gonna have to get my hands dirty!)
• Go to a workshop (either online or in person - they are so fun and the best way to learn and network - and I could cross off a couple of these resolutions all at once if I do that!~)
• Take pictures every day! Session or no sessions (and I don't mean just taking pictures of my baby! Cause I really do that every day!)

So there they are! Did you make any "goals" or old fashioned resolutions this year? What are they? And do you think you will keep them?
