Selena J. Photography bio picture
  • Hello there… welcome to my blogsite!

    My name is Selena and I'm the photographer and owner of Selena J. Photography (formerly Pose Photography) currently located in Chambersburg PA (South Central if you've never heard of it).

    I am an artist who uses a camera to capture the special moments in your life. I specialize in contemporary lifestyle photography and weddings. Please see more about me on my "about me" page where I get into more details about my husband, kids, the things I like to do and my side kick Hope... and where I should talk about why my eyes close when I smile or why I snort when I laugh.. but I haven't addressed those issues yet :)

Alway’s apologizing… {Family Portrait Sessions}

It’s funny how my clients always seem to apologize to me after their family portrait session.. You dont know how many times I’ve heard “I’m so sorry the kids didnt cooperate!”  Well the truth is that it’s actually pretty normal for kids not to cooperate for family portrait sessions!  And that’s ok!!  I’m use to it by now.. after all I have 3 young children and I know how it is!  Just for fun, I thought I would let you in on some portraits from my family session a few months ago.  My friend Hope Bigler was willing to take some pictures of us up at Kings Gap Mansion… and things didnt go AT ALL as planned (Try to overlook the irritated look on me and my husband’s face on many of the pics.. hahaha).  I hope you feel better after you see how my kids acted:)

Sherah… Any day now {Maternity Photography, Chambersburg PA}

I have 6 GORGEOUS sisters… 2 I grew up with and 4 sister-in-laws.  Each of them are so very special to me.  3 of them live in South Africa and I dont get to see them very often (insert TEARS here).  And the other 3 live in the states.  Below are some maternity pictures of my sister Sherah.  She is 9 month pregnant and expecting her first little baby any day now (you know there will be LOTS of pics of this little guy!!!)  Enjoy!  She so freaking gorgeous at 9 months pregnant that she makes most women sick:)Any day now.. cant wait to meet my nephew!

Merry Christmas and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Merry Christmas everyone!   I just want to say a massive THANK YOU to all my customers and friends, especially the ones who read my blog!  2011 has been a great year!  I feel so blessed to be a part of your lives and I just appreciate that you are willing to share your life and your story with me.   God Bless you and your families – I cant wait to see what 2012 has in store!

Below is a modified version of the Christmas card I sent out this year.  Next year I’ll print out and send more, this is a first for me so I just stuck with 30 cards and used them all!

The Brown’s have an addition! {Chambersburg, PA Maternity}

Brandie and Shannon are expecting a baby boy in a few weeks!  We got together last Saturday to take a few family pictures before the new little guy makes his appearance!    Did I mention that it was FREEZING cold?  AND snow flurries?  They were troopers!  Especially little Audrey, I dont even think you can tell that she was shaking like a leaf.. this just proves that she would be an amazing actress someday!

Speaking of Audrey, I just have to say that those smiles were probably the realist smiles I’ve ever captured of that girl.. I figured out the trick at the end of our last photo shoot which was over a year ago.  She was so sober for the first 45 minutes, no smiles whatsoever and then I made a funny fart noise (last resort for me but I was desperate!) and she cracked up.  That same day I downloaded a fart noise App on my iphone for tough cases like her.  So during this session all I had to do to make her smile was say ‘farts!’ and she smiled so big (so did Brandie.. and Shannon) haha..

Here are a few of my favorites pics…  Cant wait to meet the little guy!

1 more month… {Maternity, Chambersburg PA}

I’m so excited!  One more month (give or take) and I get to meet my new nephew!  His name is Elias and I’m sure he’ll be so cute.. after all look at his parents.. and his sister (the dog Maple, oh boy)   Here’s a few pics from our quick maternity session – I think we took these in about 10 minutes.
