some friends have been gracious enough to let me practice my photography on their sweet family. we have an old, metal barn directly across the road from us that made for a fun backdrop.
love the way this shot came together.
little gracie has completely stolen my heart!
i plan to announce the ‘full hearts’ winners tomorrow so check back!
GREAT pictures!! Lucky family that got to be your guinea pigs 🙂 You definitely have the eye for photography…I wish i could “grow” one of those too!!
Love your photos, love your jewelry and love your story. I know you bless many with all three. I am so glad The Nester told us about you. I don’t know who will win the necklace but I know that they will be thrilled. If is is me, my little bunnies’ initials are W, K, C.

The photos turned out great! I especially love the group snuggle/kiss shot!
I found you through the Nester! WOW! How beautiful!
I love the look of your creations and you are a wonderful photographer as well! I would love to place an order with you for the Holidays. Love the look and feel of your blog.
What a true talent you are…
Blessings!

Your photography is breathtaking and I absolutely adore your jewelry. Thank you for sharing.
Found you through the NEster…have had such fun browsing.
You’re hired! I’ve always loved your artistic eye in your photography. Looks like you’ve got a business already, even if you weren’t planning on it! I think you’ve got the Midas touch with business, Lisa! I saw your jewelry on TV too, I think. Wow!
Great pics lisa. They’re a good-looking bunch!
love your photo’s ! and thanx for the heads up on picnik.com i read it on your site a few months back and i’m now an additct 😉
Beautiful photos…beautiful family!
My sister in law told me to come over from the nesting place and I just love your jewelry. I have twins who were born 3 months premature and are the greatest blessings. I would love to win the necklace and the girls initials are K and S ( for Katie and Sam) God Bless Lisa
love the first picture. now i wish i had a neat metal barn across the street too!
Somebody else already said it, but if you need more families to practice on….we could be willing to help you out. 🙂
beautiful pics of a beautiful fam.
These pictures are absolutely amazing…I love the old rustic look! The family is beautiful! This is the first time I’ve seen your jewelry..I have fallen in love, simple but beautiful! My children’s initials are K & K! Thank you for this opportunity!
ok, i love this family! you did a beautiful job capturing their loveliness.
Love your photos and your jewelry. Would be over the moon if I won the initial jewelry. My boys’ initials are E, B, and K.
I hope I win!
The barn did add personality to the photo!
They all came out gorgeous! 🙂
I’ve upgraded to a Nikon D40 and I love it. I still carry my Casio Elixim here and there and it takes great pics, too. The Nikon just captures more detail which is great for bigger prints.
Amazing pictures. I love the old barn.
The Nester sent me over to say hello! I have to say your photography is just as beautiful as your jewlery!!! I am hoping to win the necklace with my children’s initials on it. All 3 J’s and one little J in heaven! I love your stuff!!
Lisa-
Great work. I like that your designs are practical, wearable, and simple. Your photography is also awesome. I found you through Nester!!
You have a great photography eye! Those pictures are great.
Absolutely precious! Your talent is limitless:)
With the post title I thought that the boys had a new pet!
The pictures are beautiful. I love your work!
Hi Lisa,
Long time follower of your blog, first time commenting (I think). I love your style of writing and pictures. Oh, and your beautiful jewelry, too. I have a few pieces on my Christmas list :-).
I remember you had posted once before about your camera. Is it still the same (a “point and shoot” if I remember correctly) or have you been using a different one? What kind of software do you use for editing?
Thanks!
Gorgous photos, you have talent and I read your blog daily in total admiration 🙂
Love the jewelry, hope to receive some as a birthday gift (I’ll have to hint to my husband). Also love the pictures! I wish you could practice on me.
Saw on Nesting place about the contest & would love to win. My kids initials are B and N.
Thanks!
You are SO talented! I just wanted to let you know I gave you a shout out on my blog today…since you are the reason I started the whole thing! (I hope you don’t mind that I posted a picture of one of your necklaces?) Blessings!
Love you designs! Glad to have found out about you!
Absolutely beautiful pictures! You are amazing!!! I must say, so is the little, tiny, ever so thin and lovely mommy who just had a baby!
I’m not planning to start a photog business LOL, but I’d love to take more photos so if you’re interested in letting me practice on you, let me know!
So cute.. gracie and max are precious!
If you need more volunteers …
Are you branching out for fun or is this the beginning of the Lisa Leonard artistic empire?
Beautiful photos, Lisa! You’re a woman of many talents!
I came over from Nesting Place…what great jewerly! I love those pictures…so fun!

I’m disapointed… I was expecting, well, guinea pigs! Heee!
Beautiful job…you are an amazing photographer
umm… need any more guinea pigs?
So cute! On the top one, next time have Max up with the rest of the fam so he doesn’t get lost in the pic… just my opinion 🙂
