I can hardly contain myself! Photographing Children Photo Workshop by Ginny Felch

August 6, 2011 by 14 Comments

Today brought such an exciting surprise to my front door.  My first copy of Ginny Felch’s new book Photographing Children in which a few of my images were published!  First of all, before I go any further with this post I must say before I was even approached  to participate in providing photographs for some of the sections in her new book..  I was well familiar with the book “Photographing Children”,  I remember a few years back when i finally made the decision to start my own business and start this new adventure behind the camera I had purchased her first book and had gained so much clarity, so much inspiration and direction.. Its been sitting on my desk ever since and there are many days where I still go back to it as I evolve as a photographer.. Whats wonderful about this book is that it has something for everyone..current with many of the trends going on in photography today and not only great for the pro photog.. but is also great for the parent that is trying desperately to capture all those tiny precious moments of their children..It is such a great read and I have no doubt that this book will make the best seller’s list just as the other one did..  You can purchase it here  Photographing Children Photo Workshop by Ginny Felch at Amazon.com.  In addition, when Ginny contacted me, not only was I flattered and humbled that she choose a few of my images for the book, but when I heard who some of the other Artist’s were….. words cant explain, how excited and honored I was to be present with some of the greats such as Mary Schannen from Melange Photo who continually makes my jaw drop everytime she posts a photo!  Shana Rae from Florabella Collection, whom I could not live without her incredible action and textures sets, not to mention her beautiful photography..and some new artists that I was not as familiar with such as Melanie Johnson from Melaniejohnsonphotography.com and Valerie Spring from TheRedballoonphotography.com…as well as so many others.. and yes I will be stocking your blogs and portfolios from this point forward!! Ginny, thank you so much for allowing me to be apart of this and for all the encouragement you have given me personally and through this wondeful book.. Congratulations!

Here are a few images of mine that were chosen to be apart of this incredible project!  Thank you to my sweet little clients whom without, this would not be possible  :) hehe!

Pittsburgh Photographer Jen Carver visits “Randyland!”

April 22, 2011 by Leave some love

Mexican War Streets holds one of Pittsburgh’s finest Randy Gilson and his act of love!

What a fabulous day we had! What started off scouting out a new possible shooting location.. turned into so much more!

Welcome to Randyland. Meet Randy Gilson.

It sits proudly from the Central Northside’s Jacksonia Street, a vibrant colored testimony to one man’s efforts to change the inner city neighborhood in transition.  It features, brightly colored walls maps of the city and beautiful murals reflecting different places in Pittsburgh! It is something to see to say the least. Trash to treasures is how Randy explains his creation.  Although, he claims “not to be an artist” one look at this magnificent place and you soon realize he is an artist in every sense of the word!  People flock to see Randyland from all corners of the world but for me, just the time we spent with Randy listening to his story, you realize how special and sincere this man really is.  As many people walked by to catch a glimpse or jump in on the tour Randy welcomed them with open arms and such kind words.. you can certainly see what he has done for this town just by listening to the neighbors passing by ..I know I left there feeling a better person to have met this special guy who is literally bringing so much sunshine to Pittsburgh’s Northside!   I cant wait to share this little piece of Love with some of my clients! Its a kids dream, a place where you can imagine, create and dream!  My girls loved “Randyland”!  We cant wait to go back not only for another photo op. But Randy plans to have some”painting parties” to help keep “Randyland” shining this summer … my family is more then excited to join in on the fun!   Clients choosing to go to “Randyland” for a portrait session, Jen Carver Photography will be donating a portion of your session fee to “Randyland” to keep this this dream going on Pittsburgh’s Northside!
