I've been Published!

Check out the latest issue of Arabian Horse World and you'll see a photo by Kendal Jean Photography. That's right, they picked one of the photos of Kathy's mare and filly I took photos of this last spring. I can't wait to find a copy myself and hope to when I head to 'civilization' next weekend.

New Website!

I'm excited to announce that I've launched a new website. I'm still ironing out the kinks, but much thanks to my friend Anne for helping me get the bones up and hosting the site for me. I'm slowly adding to it and hope to keep it updated via the news section.

Go check out www.kendaljeanphotos.com and I promise updated photos soon!

Will Rogers Shrine of the Sun

Finally getting around to posting some more photos from Colorado. Lots of things have been going on and it finally cooled off enough to sit at the computer and get some photo editing done. Hoping to get some more exciting things rolling out soon. There is a new website in the works so if you find some downtime at www.kendaljeanphotos.com, please stop back by. I hope to make the transition smooth, but you never know what can happen with technology.

Back to Colorado. As part of the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo admission is a drive up the Will Rogers Shrine of the Sun. This stone shrine was built on top of the mountain and has amazing views across the foothills and plains of southern Colorado. The details throughout are what caught my eye as you can see in the photos. I wish there would have been a decent photo from before we drove up, but I will have to revert back to a stock photo. Have a look at the official site for some of the history and a photo that will really give you some perspective. It was a cool site to see.

Garden of the Gods

I forgot to post pictures from the Garden of the Gods. Before we went to the zoo we stopped at this free park in Colorado Springs. Such amazing rock formations and they are so red. The pops of green all over the place is stunning as well. I asked my brother how many times he had been there and he said something like five. I could never complain because it's free and gorgeous. The lighting probably changes every visit. I was lucky that the sun came out, but the big puffy white clouds stayed to give some great contrast in the photos.

Family Photos

The last couple of days in Colorado were spent relaxing for the most part. Mom did convince me to do some family photos before I left though. Payment was a yummy dinner at Red Lobster for all involved parties. I could do photos for seafood any day :0)

We did two sessions, one of me, mom, my brother Jason and my half brother Adam. The next evening (hours before we left) I did a second session of my mom, her husband Dave and Adam. I'm loving the look and feel of the first photo of those three. Adam has such a rock star, teenager look. Very fitting for his attitude about now.

The teenager rock star look apparently, though I do like the mood of this photo.

The Zoo!

I love zoos. They are so fun to be able to see animals you would never see regularly and it is even more fun when you have a camera with a big zoom. The last time I was at a zoo was almost 3 years ago when I went with my Dad and his wife to Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia, SC. I didn't have my big 70-300 zoom yet (I think I got it the next week). Now I want to go to more. Hopefully I'll be able to go over to Seattle to go to Woodland Park sometime.

After we got done at Garden of the Gods we drove up to Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. It is a very unique zoo that is built into the mountain side. You kind of meander your way up the hillside. I'm still loving the zoo in South Carolina though. The nice thing about that one is there are ditches between you and the animals instead of fences, makes for better pictures which is of course all I care about :0)

Here's a sample of some of the pictures I took. Have some fun and make a caption for that silly giraffe and leave it in the comments. Might be fun to see what some other people are thinking when they look a that photo.
