Images from the Latest Photo Shoot

I photographed and interviewed 5 Jennifers today.  It was awesome!  They were all amazing people, all with interesting stories, perspectives on life, insights.  Below is an image from each Jennifer I met.

Special thanks to N, who gathered props, hung out with me while two Jennifers didn't show up, and was just generally awesome.

I'm planning to schedule another Jennifer Photo Shoot in Seattle in July.  If you or someone you know is interested in participating, please let me know:  coolchickphoto@me.com.  I'm also looking for bios from Jennifers from across the country.  Look forward to hearing from you!

Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

The Jennifer Project on Twitter!

A Jen who recently commented on my blog suggest I go on Twitter to find more Jennifers for the project.  I'm on it!  I have no idea what I'm doing, but you can follow project updates at:  http://twitter.com/thejenproject.  Follow me.  I'll follow you.  Or something like that...

I'm super excited for the photo shoot tomorrow.  I have two young photographers who will be joining me during the course of the day to help, etc.

Look forward to it!

And now I need to start looking for Jennifers for shoot #3.  Sometime in July.  If you know someone who is interested...

And, you can still participate even if you don't live in Seattle.  Here's how:
1.  Send in your photograph:  coolchickphoto@me.com
2.  Answer a few questions (I'll send them to you if you email me)
3.  Send in a bio

I look forward to hearing from you and Tweeting with you!

Best,
Jen

Photo Shoot #2

Although I haven't posted for a bit, there's been a lot going on in The Jennifer Project world.  I've heard from Jennifers in Oregon and the midwest, and a local Jennifer who has 3 year old twin boys.

And, I've been preparing for the second Jennifer Project photo shoot.  It will be held on June 14.  I will meet and photograph 9 Jennifers that day.  There are two other people who may come that day as well.

It is my hope that I have a Jennifer Project photo shoot once a month.  It depends on who I find / how many Jennifers contact me.

I've been using Craig's List and put ads in local online newspapers / blogs.  Wondering what the next step might be in finding other Jennifers?  It might be a word of mouth sort of thing...

I'd love suggestions...
