They’ll be coming out with their sophomore album and plan to use the photos for the artwork on the album cover & CD insert booklet … check it out:
Trying new stuff …
I did a maternity shoot with my friend Alice … we were just in her spare room, w/ sheets up on the wall … all photos were in color, but this was one of my favorites, so I wanted to play around with PhotoShop … took me a while, but finally figured out how to achieve this technique … check it out!! : )
Here are some of my other favorites from the shoot:
I actually had 2 photo shoots that day, so there’s still more to come!
As always, I encourage and welcome your feedback and comments.
Thanks for visiting : )

Finally, some new stuff!
I finally invested the money and got my “big girl” camera — Nikon D90, speedlight SB600 external flash, 18-105 lens & 70-300 lens. I also recently completed a 5wk course at the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts, which gave me the opportunity to shoot different subjects each week, using different settings, learning new techniques, and really getting outside of my comfort zone. So here are few of my favorites from over the last few months (some were published on Navy News Stand, so click the image for URL ) … enjoy!
And as always, your feedback is welcomed and encouraged : )
Here's a favorite from my most recent Navy assignment. It was Family Day during the drill weekend, so it was nice to witness some of these tough guys sharing a special moment with their kids : ) Click image for link
Wasn't one of my personal favorites, but it did get published : ) Click image for link
Using my 70-300 lens, I was able to get about 6ft away
I took this shot about 10 seconds before he got spooked and ran off
My assignment was to photograph a place ... all the other beach shots looked like your typical FL beach sunset, but this one stood out for me
My friend's son ... he didn't know I was there b/c I was using my 70-300 zoom lens : )
Trying industrial/commercial style photography
Playing around with fashion/commercial style photography
The assignment was to photograph a job or hobby ... I wanted to capture how worn & tattered ballet shoes become from all the hard work & practice that goes into the finished performance
Oldies, but goodies … some random (sports) favorites
Here’s a quick sampling of my sports photography. It’s really a thrilling experience to be on the sidelines … holding my breath while trying to be brave enough to stand still long enough to get the shot, as a stampede of players are headed right toward me! Sports and kids … I think those are the most fun and exciting images to capture : )
This little man had a BIG personality! (only 3yrs old!)
ACC Championship Game (Ga Tech vs Clemson)
The next morning this photo was all over the media … too bad the pro sports photographer beside me beat me to the punch! Guess those are the breaks sometimes. (photo taken 12/6/09)
Stories Published
It’s so exciting for me to see my work published … makes me feel like I’m actually “doing” something and contributing to something greater than me. This is the kind of thing that really keeps me motivated to write more stories and take more pics!
***********************************************
Here’s the link to my 2nd story that was just published: http://www.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=52072
My goal with this story was to try and make, what could have been a dry & boring story, interesting enough so that people would want to to read it — if Navy News Stand picked it up, I guess I’m on the right track.
Although I do have to recognize the guidance and support I’ve been given by my fellow MC’s & the PAO community … I especially want to thank MC1 Hannon and MC2 Kapica for being my “training wheels” on this story!

Welcome!
Welcome to my blog. I’m brand new to this whole blog thing, so bear with me as I learn the ropes!
I intend to use this as my “creative” archive, primarily posting images I’ve taken in the Navy, along with some other stuff along the way. I welcome your feedback and constructive criticism, and ask that if you plan to use any of these photos (or stories), just please let me know where they will be posted so that I can keep track of where they’ve been!
So far, I’ve had 3 of my images published, and one story — but they’re not always my favorites that get picked up! So this will serve as my gallery of favorites, as well as published photos.
It’s a work in progress, so I’ll continue to add more images (as I find the time!).
My “galleries” are listed in the categories sections on the right …
I hope you enjoy : )
Images Published
Besides getting to attend some really cool events, I’ve got to admit that the most exciting part for me is when a picture I took, or a story I wrote, gets published for the whole world to see! It’s a new hobby for me to just google my name and see what comes up (say what you want, but that makes me famous in my book!) … but keep in mind there’s a professional poker player with the same name, so if you feel the urge, search “Jennifer P Harman” ;~)
These are my images & stories that have been published …
