The December issue of Dallas Child is actually out NOW, and I picked up an issue at my local Tom Thumb…lo and behold:
Favorite Family Photographer: Jennifer Weintraub of Sugar Photography
*blush*
I admit that I actually got ‘the call’ about 3 weeks ago, and sent the following email to all of my clients:
Channeling Sally Field
We received a special phone call this morning (not unlike what I assume the Academy Award nominees receive early in the morning)….only much less dramatic. We were voted Dallas’ Favorite Family Photographer! What an honor!
So while I quickly try to pull together a self portrait by noon tomorrow (in which I look rested, thin, tan, and like someone you’d want to let your children play with) I wanted to also tell everyone THANK YOU!
Thank you for letting us into your homes and into your lives. Your children are all gorgeous, brilliant, and talented (truly!) and I have loved every second of the past year. What better way to spend my days than rolling on the ground, jumping in the air, and playing peek-a-boo with sweet kiddos?
So all that to say…(this is where Sally Field comes in)…”You like me! You really like me!” Thank you for the recognition! Thank you for the support and the wonderful families you’ve sent our way!
Thank you for everything!
Jennifer
The write-up in this month’s issue:
Dallas photographer, Jennifer Weintraub of Sugar Photography, has a gift for discovering the artistic in the everyday. Her photographs capture the emotions and relationships between families with a freshness and purity – and instantly become heirlooms. A natural with children, Weintraub combines art and photojournalism to achieve unique and evocative portraits. (Jennifer is also a regular contributing photographer with DallasChild – we discovered her first!)
and my little self-portrait…(did I achieve the thin, well-rested, and like-someone-you’d-let-your-kids-play-with look?)
(don’t answer that)
And to celebrate my new status as Dallas’ favorite family photographer (where is my coffee mug and t-shirt, people? bumper sticker?)…I’m off to bathe two kids and slip them into bed before cleaning the house (such is my glamorous life).
Let’s all hope tomorrow is a snow day…I stocked up on cookie supplies in hopes that we’ll finally get to work on our family holiday card.
C’mon snow!

Congratulations! I want to be like you someday!
What an honor. You must be thrilled!
I love your self portraits. They are great! I have yet to get something decent of me. Not that I’ve tried… I’m just being lazy LOL!
Anyway, I just wanted to drop a comment by. Congrats, again!
Congrats again Jenn! It is well deserved and I am so happy for you!!
Many congrats! You have such a talent! I love looking at the pics you post here. I would love the gift you have with your camera. Again, so exciting!
You look absolutely gorgeous. I’m so proud of you!!! We’re not worthy, we’re not worthy…
Congrats! You can play with my kids anytime!
Congrats! I love your photos, I wish I lived in Dallas.
I read your blog all the time, I found you through both ILP and the Scott family.
Beautiful self portrait!
Jen, I’m so excited and proud for you! You must be thrilled! I wish I could go pick up a copy so I can tell people “hey guess what? I know her!” LOL. Thanks for everything – you truly are a great friend!
First, congratulations!!! You are a very tallented photographer. I wish we lived in Dallas so you could photo us!
Second, oh. my. god. I wish I had clicked on your link earlier. I went to the nablopomo list just now and decided to click on the blog name above mine. And who do I find but you. You! I knew your name sounded familiar… we exchanged a few emails about 2 years ago. I was on the ttc while nursing board and asked you about the Ergo backpack… and then had a miscarriage.. Do you remember me? sweetisu? Wow. This is so strange.
It’s late but I just wanted to make a comment here. I’m sure I’ll come back to read.
I just stumbled apon your site and wanted to tell you how much I love your photography. I am 5 months pregnant and if I lived anywhere close to you, I’d be having you chronical our first year. I live in Canada – a little too far for you to travel I think.
Congrats Jen! =) LOVE the portraits….you look so spunky and cute! =)
