EVERY TIME after speaking to a group, I run through the talk in my mind thinking, “oh my gosh, what did I say?” “Did I explain that correctly?” “How many tangents did I go off on…look squirrel!”. hahaha! After driving home from this evening’s talk with students of The Student Photography Association-SPA at the Indiana…
I’m honored to have been one of the first ones to test out this sweet lens! Do YOU even KNOW how hard it was to not share??!! Since Lensbaby finally launched their brand spankin new lens on Valentine’s day…I guess I can finally share the love. Pun intended!! I took it along with me on…

[...] lensbaby edge 80 : vegas | jen mcken photography Thursday, March 1, 2012 Posted in the portraits I want to start off by saying that I know this isn’t the greatest picture of the two of us…..forgive me it was taken with an iphone in horribly overhead lighting BUT I finally got to meet Michael Griffen, Social Media Analyst for Lensbaby during the WPPI trade show! He initially contacted me right around the time that the Bullying article went viral. They reached out and say, “hey, great job!”. Since then we’ve emailed back and forth several times and I was one of the first peeps to check out the newest addition to the Lensbaby Family-the Edge 80. I’ll spare you the technical jargon since I’ve already talked about it a little bit right *here*. [...]
Really!?! You had it in Seattle and didn’t even vaguely let it slip. I’m disappointed and impressed all at the same time!
That’s such a cool effect!! Can’t wait to see more 
I know you’ve already seen the last two posts about my adventures at Creative Live in Seattle, but here are some more behind the scene photos of our shenanigans. In between “getting our learn on”, we had MANY MANY laughs! I’m going to miss this whole crew! They are in no particular order and they…

Hey Jen! Just thought I’d stop by and check out what you thought of your experience. I’m one of the attendees at Sue Bryce’s workshop in a couple of weeks and am so excited and nervous!!! If you have time, I’d love an e-mail with any advice! If not, no worries. Thanks!
Jen, I really enjoyed watching you on CreativeLive this past weekend. I am excited to follow you and see how that part of your business grows! Thanks so much for being candid and open, I think you asked a lot of questions that other photographers would have asked!
Looks like you had so much fun!!
I look like a dork! Love these. I’m wanna just bottle the whole experience and wear it around my neck. I miss you guys oodles!
Love it!
I’ve worn that kitty cat mask. Rawr!
wow, so fun!
SO FUN! Your energy is amazingly contagious! You brighten up any room you walk into – including the worldwide creative classroom that we are! : ) I can still feel it through all your shenanigan photos! You sexy six pack are the bomb! See ya in Vegas! xoxoxoxo -kenna
Love them ~ looks like it was a great time
For me, it was kind of like the first day of college-at least the way I remember it feeling. I remember very vividly laying in my twin sized dorm room bed the night before my very first freshman class. My roommate was already sleeping and I could hear the sounds of students staying out late…

Love the one on the right of the 2nd row. You were so fun to watch. Great job!
Jen!!!! Your shots are beautiful!!!! Sexy six pack rules!! You have such a beautiful light about you and I am so blessed to have been picked to be a part of this experience with you. Oh I can’t wait till we all get together again!!!
I watched the whole weekend online, but I had to miss the couples section and I’m bummed about that. so I’m glad i got to see a couple of your images here. I’d love to see more.
I couldn’t come up with a better group of people spend my time at CreativeLIVE with! And damn girl, you rocked those shots!
Hi Jen! I haven’t stopped by in a while ~ I just got done watching the Day 1 session with Christa! Imagine my surprise and excitement to see that you were in attendance
How wonderful it must have been to be able to experience such a fabulous opportunity. Congratulations to you ~ can’t wait to watch the rest. All the best ~ Rebecca
Jen, it was so fun to watch you and the sexy six pack work with Christa. You all handled the pressure and critique very well. Thanks for posting your images. They are beautiful!
Hi Jen:
I am really happy you enjoyed the weekend workshop! Christa M seemed great! You do a fabulous job under pressure. I am enjoying your shots from the weekend and can not wait to see more of your results.
Adore your couples shots seriously hawt! I was at home trying hard to catch rewatches of the creative Live sessions.. it was a nutty weekend. Your site rocks (busy but rocks as you showcase you) you are just so darn friendly! Can’t wait to see how things launch into the stratosphere for you from here!
Jen, I just wanted to say you were my favorite guest photographer at creativelive this weekend:) The others were great in their own way, but if I still lived in PA I feel like we could be best friends. You have such a great personality and it shows through on your blog. Keep up the great work!
You and the other students did an awesome job. It was really fun to watch!
LOVE your images and even more your kind words about your creativeLIVE experience! My goodness the sexy six pack ROCKED! See ya next week in Vegas. Congrats on putting your heart into this weekend!
oxxoxox,
kenna
Hello from behind the scenes….. *snap snap* Soooo, I’m not going to blog everything JUST YET, but I wanted to hop on and tell you how much information has been packed into this (tiny) brain of mine! ha! The CreativeLIVE crew have been A-MAZINGLY welcoming and FUN to hang out with and Christa is FULL…

Christa is a force to be reckoned with! I would feel so initimated in her presence, but you rocked it every time you shot! I love your “giggle at me because I’m so funny” line. I seriously laughed out loud. I’ve learned so much (and I’ve never even shot boudoir!)!
Just started watching, well catching up, and saw you were from PA and had to find out where. I moved to Blairsville when I was 18 for a few years before heading South. I am so happy to see everyday photographers on CL. You are doing well, I am sure it has to be stressful, but enjoy it…you have a lot of envoius people out there!
You did a brilliant job!! I’ve been watching all weekend and am just lovin’ it. All of you guys are doing so well! Yay!!!
Thanks for sharing, Jen! I’m loving the workshop. Christa is fantastic and I’m a big fan of yours too. I wish I could just be a fly on the wall. Wow.
