Mathewson Photography Blog bio picture
  • Welcome to my Blog!

    Hi there!  My name is Jeanmarie and I'm the chick rockin' the camera here at Mathewson Photography. I'm going to use this space to post about things both photo-related and personal. My goal is for you to learn about me as a photographer and a person. Take a look around...I hope you enjoy it!

Evelyn 2011 | High School Senior Photographer

I had such a great time with Evelyn.  She was so much fun and easy to photograph.  There’s a wry little smirky smile that she gets that I’m just crazy about! You won’t see it here, though….I’m saving those for her slideshow. ;)  Thanks much to her wonderful mom for driving us all around and for being such excellent company! 

 

Petoskey Family Session | Charlevoix Area Photographer

The original plan was to do this session somewhere around home,but as Danielle (super mom to these awesome kids!) and I emailed back and forth we realized that there was a good chance we’d all be in the Charlevoix area at the same time.  Well, why not plan the session up there…right!?  They don’t call the place “Charlevoix the Beautiful” for nuthin’ people!  We ended up meeting up in Petoskey and wandered around in the Gaslight District for a while and then headed down towards Bay Harbor. We ran out of light, and the boys ran out of patience before we made it down the road to Charlevoix, but no matter…..it was gorgeous just the same!  I very much enjoyed meeting Danielle and her wonderful family, including their very sweet Leonberger, Georgia.

Riley | Charlevoix Area Tween Photographer

I had the most fun doing this session!  The weather was beautiful, we found some really fun locations, and I got a chance to spend some time with some people that I just really enjoy.  This is Riley, whom I’ve known….well, probably her whole life.  The thing is….I only see her in the summer. Each and every summer, when I first see her, I have to ask someone if it’s really her.  Even after a “Riley-sighting” has been confirmed, I have to admit that I have my doubts.  How could it be her? That girl over there is way too grown up…it just can’t be her.  Of course, it’s always her and I’m always sort of blown away.  Anyway, I was thrilled to have the chance to photograph her this year.  You can see what a genuine (and contagious!) smile she has…..and she’s also super sweet!  Much thanks to her mom, Lynn, for coming along.  It was a great evening!

Cousins | Michigan Photographer

I don’t have time to stick around and chat, but I wanted to jump on here and post a few pics of these lovely lil’ ladies. I know that their Aunt is waiting patiently for a peek and didn’t want to keep her waiting any longer!  K, we had a blast with you and your nieces. Thanks so much for spending the morning with us!
