Joy and I are SO excited about the Mutt Mugshots benefit event we are doing on February 27th in our the Montclair Studio. $10 of every portrait sitting and 5% of every collection purchased will be donated to Tony La Russa’s Animal Rescue Foundation.
We have only THREE spaces left and because I want to fill the whole day, we are having a CONTEST!! The first THREE folks to correctly answer the question: WHO did Olive recently have her portrait taken with (hint: Check An Olive a Day) will get $100 off the sitting fee! Its normally $199, so you get the sitting fee for $99 with a product credit of $99 – its like a free sitting! CONTACT Joy with your answer: joy@julesbianchi.com or 415.347.5697
Joy and I have really been enjoying the new studio. Its fun to have our own events, but we love hosting other photographer’s events there as well! Earlier this week we had the great pleasure of hosting the adorable Justin & Mary Marantz’s for their Spread the Love tour. If you are a new business owner – photography or not – this is a GREAT workshop to check out. They give a lot of immediately useful information to help you get your business to the next level!
I had so much fun teaching my Light, Location & Love workshop at the Hotel Menage. I want to thank my workshop partner Kerry Garrison of Camera Dojo who helped everyone get over their fear of portrait lighting!
Joy and I worked very hard to get an entire bridal party together so that our participants could see how I work with larger groups rather than just a couple. At first I was disappointed that it rained during our Shoot Out, but the group was glad to watch me use my lighting gear on the fly. Not only that, but we ventured out into the rain for some cute umbrella portraits.
We are thinking about doing a Light, Location & Love workshop in San Francisco, so if you are interested, please leave a comment!
I want to give a big THANK YOU to Downtown Flowers for providing us with GORGEOUS bouquets & boutonnieres and to Design Visage & Darling Bride for doing the hair & make-up on our beautiful models. Also, thanks to the lovely Heather Kincaid for coming to my rescue and modeling at the last minute!
I will do a blog post of photos soon, but in the meantime, here is a 60 second video of my Shoot Out part of the workshop that was shot & edited by my talented brother, Jeffrey Holmes.
I was so excited to hear about this workshop. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to come out for it, so if you do another one at anytime during the year I would be so excited. What interest me the most is the light part. Being in Missouri mostly every wedding is inside so I just need a major boost in ideas. Can’t wait to see more. Thanks for inspiring me always.

The last time I had used them was for my own wedding almost 10 years ago! So, I went to my favorite hibicus farm and hand picked the flowers for her workshop. I love how Jules inspired me to come up with something unique and true to my heart. I’m so impressed with Jules and her forward thinking as well as her talent for photography. View her blog!! [...]
Congrats on the well deserved cover! The sun-kissed image is beautiful, as well as the entire layout.
SO cute — great images! I do these all the time in Atlanta — we’ve raised some good $$ for so many fur babies AND it is so much fun!
What a great cause! I love puppies! Great photos, as usual!
THANK YOU, Ronnie!!
