Brandi Tejeda Photography
I was contacted this weekend by Brandi with Brandi Tejeda Photography to design a logo for her business. Well, not only is Brandi a local fellow Photographer, she's a long time School friend. I'm so glad she found me, neither one of us knew we were photographers. We've been emailing all weekend long and we're probably going to be doing a variety of things together. I'm so glad to be designing her logo and working in the future together. Check out her fabulous work and stay tuned for the logo she chooses.
On a personal note. Our lab Gabby had 10 puppies, Wednesday the 25th. They are so cute and I can't keep my eyes and hands off them. Here are a few pictures I've taken of the little munchkins.

Exciting opportunity
I have an exciting opportunity coming up for my Photography Business. I'm going to be working with Hillier Funeral home taking family photos for those who have lost their loved ones. This is something, I'm sure no one could have ever expected. They contacted me about working together on Family pictures while all the family is in town, dressed up, and everything. I think this is going to be really good for my business, and I'm looking forward to it!
New Blog = New Facelift
Yes, you are seeing correctly, I have a new blog design. I love it! I worked with Larra of LP Designz to create this super cute and fun blog. I actually did the design while she helped fix the background and actually did all the html coding techy stuff. We worked well together and this is the outcome!
Go check out her fun/cute blog as well. She would be happy to make a blog for you, if you're interested!
My next goal is to give my Website a matching facelift - be on the look out for that!
I hope you enjoy this new look. Look forward to the start of something great!- JMH

Welcome to my Photography & Design Blog!
Hi and welcome to my Photography & Design blog! This isn't my first blog, as I have a personal blog; however, this is my first time blogging about my business. The business I LOVE and hope to see it grow each year.
I started my part-time photography business in January of 2008 and now I'm starting my design shop this Summer. Here's how it all happened....I've ALWAYS loved taking pictures, scenery most of the time, but then found my self never leaving w/out a camera on hand. After talking to my best friend Jenn, who has always been my 'prop' we started talking about doing this as a business. I was EXTREMELY excited for this, just one thing - - we didn't have a 'professional' camera, equipment, etc..
Well, I was getting married November 3rd to the love of my life Brant. The night before the wedding I stayed in a hotel with my two Maids of Honor (Jenn & Amy) and my Matron of Honor, Kelley (my cousin). Amy, Kelley and myself were chit chatting waiting for Jenn to come (she had to get 'things' before coming to the hotel for the night). She finally came and had a gift with her. She finally let me open it....after peeking inside I started to FREAK out, literally....she bought me (us) an actual photographers camera..nice, expensive, etc. etc. I was SOOOOO happy I couldn't contain myself!
I was in complete shock and thought it was a joke, so I opened the box and yes, there it was the best camera I've ever had! Of course I told her I was paying half since we're doing it together....
Well, we started planning the business had our name, but still needed to make it "legal" so I called an Attorney and, well come to find out it was better for us just to have me as the 'owner'...and that leads us to JMHickerson Photography. You will notice that a lot of my pictures are of Jenn (tall, skinny, blonde gal), we're both as happy as we can be - I'm doing this while she's actually getting hunting/fishing shows, photo shoots and all kinds of good stuff.
The Design part started as I planned my entire wedding by myself (w/help from mom and others of course). I wanted to have fun and unique things, so I started designing monograms, programs, our save the date cards, stickers for the bubbles and so on. It was a lot of fun and now I'm designing Holiday Cards, Save the date cards, Announcements, Business logos, and monograms. This will come in handy while taking photographs for clients I can give them something extra that others may not.
Everything has been a real blast and I can only hope to further this career and make it full time.
Thank you in advance to my husband for allowing me to make my dreams come true and furthering this journey with me, My parents for their support, help and love, My Parent-In-Laws for their support in things we both want to do in life, Grammy for her love, comfort and true guidance, Jenn for MAKING me start this dream and to keep it going, Amy for her teaching skills and everything in between, Kelley for always listening, guiding and being the best cousin, Patty for being my 'marketing' gal (and Haley for being my 'prop'), all of my cousin-in-laws for loving my work, believing in me, and letting me shoot their special occasions, Sarah for helping with all the photography questions I've had, for future shoots and for the support & help w/the design part , and of course to my future clients thank you for believing in me and letting me tell your stories through photography!
