Although I use to paint over 25 years ago – I just got back to it the past couple years. It’s amazing how easy it is to slip back into the brushes. It is calming and the perfect way to wind down on the weekends and evenings. You can follow my painting on Instagram at http://www.instagram.com/jeaninethurstonartwork

The year after the shutdown… we weren’t sure what to expect. Elopement weddings have been a priority for me for the past 5+ years – but this year even more so. I love my small weddings, intimate ceremonies, and the time with the couples that it affords me. Getting to know them and having more time to photograph with just the couple or a small amount of family and friends. Nothing fancy… just LOVE.
