…tumbleweeds
Oh good lord. Is anyone still here? Hellooooooooo? I don’t blame you if I’m talking to myself. Gone are the days of three posts a week. I’m lucky if I do one! I have so much to say, too, but about a million things to do in my limited spare time. Let it be known that my kitchen is staying dirty during this naptime so that I may update my stale-ass blog. Don’t come over. I’ll be embarrassed.
So what have y’all been up to? Me, I’ve been busy with my New Career. I keep meaning to do some epic post about it, but clearly, that isn’t happening. So here goes.
It probably comes as no surprise, given my previous posts, that I’m about to embark on a career in Bullfighting. No, just kidding. Photography!
A couple of months ago, a friend asked me if she could send me some photography business, and I was all, “Um. Yes! Yes you can.” Then SB and I arranged the finances a bit so that I could start putting my unemployment checks entirely towards gear and training. Then I stopped blogging because I needed to spend every spare moment thinking up a name, designing a logo, building a website, taking photos, editing photos, and on and on.
So, finally, without much fanfare, I announce Ginger Jacobs Photography. Why Ginger? Well, because Jenny is boring and common. Ginger has always been my karaoke name, or my table reservation name, the name I use when Jenny won’t do because someone else will take my turn or my latte. Ginger Jacobs is the saucier version of myself who has the guts to do this. Ginger wears big rings and will tell you what to do, and won’t get nervous. Ginger knows that out of the 200 shots she takes in a sitting, there will be plenty of good ones, so she doesn’t stress out.
I hate it when people blog about not blogging, but there it is. That’s my excuse. I think it’s a good one. So far, things are going really well! I’ve started a photography blog (um, it’s kind of stale, too, surprise surprise), which is where I will normally post such things, but here are a few of my favorite images I’ve taken so far. I hope you like them! Please don’t tell me if you don’t.

Ginger, you go girl! I love it. Feels right for you. You do a great job, too. May you do well~
So, so excited, and the pictures are gorgeous. Pondering a trip north just for portraits.
I thought that might be what you were up to! Congrats!! Very exciting. Gorgeous work.
Per-fect-ion. I LOVE THIS! Every single photo is gorgeous and I cannot wait to make you even more busy, as long as it doesn’t mean you will stop blogging. I love your blog. Look at me: I want to have my cake and eat it, too. Congratulations!
This looks and sounds so great Jenny! I think you and Ginger are about to conquer the Cool Factor on the Internets. Now you DEFinitely deserve that Tempest-uous drink!
I was going to say which of the photos I REALLY liked, but I couldn’t choose from among them – they’re all beautiful.
THANK YOU, EVERYONE! You have no idea how much this encouragement means to me.
Ok, I’m waaaaay behind on reading your posts, but I love your photos! (and the name of the biz). Hope you’ve been having fun this summer getting it all together and excited to see more.
