  • Welcome to my blog!

    I have always had a love for photography.  When I myself became a parent, I became more and more interested in always pulling out my camera to capture a moment I wanted to remember forever.  Our children grow up so quickly and I think photographs are so important to document all the fun stages they go through. 

    I love children.  I love babies. I think there is nothing in the world like a child's laugh.  I want to help you capture all the moments that go by so quickly.  I'm not afraid to be silly to get that same shining personality you see on a daily basis from your child. 

    I look forward to working with you!  If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Thank you for dropping in!

Sneak Peek: Kendrick – 1 year old

I last saw Kendrick when he was a little tiny newborn and now he is so grown up! He was such a joy to photograph last weekend. He had a smile on his face from the very start of our session to the very end of our session. Can you believe how cute his little outfit is? One of the cutest I have seen since I have been photographing munchkins!

Sneak Peek: Hailey – 2 years old

Hailey is two. Two years olds are fast. 30 something year olds (or twenty something year olds in my case ..wink wink) are not. Hailey you are as beautiful as you are quick. I want you to know I am training for a marathon so during our next session I may be able to keep up with you… maybe. In all seriousness this is another one of my favorite families. They are always so happy and smiley during our sessions. I have been photographing Hailey for a while now and each time I see her I can’t believe how grown up she looks. Hope to have many more sessions with you in the future! For now ..your sneak peek.

And one for the outtake reel. This is a sight too often captured during two year old photo shoots:)

Jody - I know for a fact she is adorable but these pictures are great! I love the one of her on the wall and can hear her saying “silly girl” as she runs away!

February 25, 2010 - 1:08 pm

Amy - Absolutely love all of them! Great family picture too!

February 25, 2010 - 12:34 pm

Christie - LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these and can’t wait to see the rest! :)

Introducing: Allie {7 days old}

Allie was a early baby – she just couldn’t wait to get out into the world and meet her wonderful mommy and daddy. She was so wide and alert for a newborn baby at just 7 days old and boy was she super strong. Great head control at 7 days old! She was as cute as she was strong too. Cute baby chub and sweet little pouty baby lips. I could have photographed her the rest of the day! Mom and Dad I hope you enjoy your sneak peek. I know you didn’t want to watch me shoot and wanted it to be a surprise:)Grandma – I hope you are still there to take a look:)

Intruding.. Allie

February 25, 2010 - 12:33 pm

Christie - love them all, but the one with the bunny hat is absolutely precious!!

February 24, 2010 - 12:57 pm

Allison - JODY…seriously, how gorgeous are these?!?!!? And a great name of course…what a love!!

Sneak Peek: Colin & Hayden {brothers}

Colin and Hayden’s mommy is a friend of mine and has two of the cutest little boys I have ever known. Her 2 year old son, Colin, is the same age as my child and it just happens to be my favorite age right now. Since I have a two year old relating to another two year old is pretty easy! It took no time at all for Colin to warm up to me and by the first say 5 minutes we were best friends:)Hayden, Colin’s little baby brother, was full of chub and baby cuteness and at my other favorite age – 6 months – where babies start really developing personalities and are so fun to work with. Colin and Hayden you made my Sunday morning so much fun! I can’t wait to see you again!

February 24, 2010 - 5:21 pm

Carrie - Thanks so much Jody – they all turned out so great!

February 24, 2010 - 1:26 pm

February 24, 2010 - 12:58 pm

Allison - these are so gorgeous too!!! What a lovely family, and sweet little boys!

February 24, 2010 - 12:58 pm

Donna - What a good looking family! I love how their pictures turned out.

Shannon Hicks - My mom has been through a lot in the past few years, and has continued to help my sister with her son. Neither of them have the money to afford a beautiful photo session for my sister’s son Wyatt, and they have raved about your photos. They have never had any professional pictures taken of Wyatt, and this would be a wonderful gift to give them. This is why I should be chosen.

February 25, 2010 - 9:33 am

Kim Hanna - I love your work and now that I have a 3 week old and almost 2 year old it is time for new pics for the Hanna family! Can’t wait to take your workshop in a couple of weeks!

Donna - We are expecting a lil girl and I bet she’ll just be as cute as her older brother William! :)

February 24, 2010 - 10:30 am

Mike Williams - Hey Jody! I don’t really want to win the contest (i.e. family bias lol), but I did enter just because I think your work deserves all the accolades that I could possibly give. We absolutely LOVE the pictures you did of our twins and as I told you before, I just can’t stop looking at them. I look forward to our next session, whenever that might be. You truly are very talented and great with even the “fussiest” of subjects! I think you have truly found your calling, which is evident by everyone’s comments and by reviewing of your work.

February 24, 2010 - 12:00 am

Naelyn - I would love to be picked for many reasons…Pictures are a gift to last a lifetime, they capture moments that you can hold on to and pass on forever! My father was a photographer before he passed away when I was 11! And the few pictures I have left that he took are verrrrry dear to me! I want my two beautiful children to have memories like that, however we are a one income family right now so it is hard to get professional pictures taken! We try our best to capture their faces, however when I see the work you do, it is amazing! I would feel so blessed to have you capture and create those memories for us!

February 23, 2010 - 4:56 pm

Jamie Schoenfeldt - I would love for you to pick my adorable baby Ethan. He turns 1 on 4/6/10 and this would be a great way to capture this exciting time in his life. Plus you do absolutely amazing work and I would be honored to have you shoot my little guy

February 22, 2010 - 11:23 pm

Michelle - Connor would love to be picked as the winner for your free mini-session [per is mother :) ]. He is PAST DUE for pictures with you. In addition, Connor’s mother would love to see you running behind him in high heel boots to get the perfect picture (lol). Lastly, Connor is hilariuos like his dad, so he is lots of fun to be around and will have you ROTFL! Please consider Connor as your winner and thank you for the opportunity :) !

February 22, 2010 - 10:48 pm

Sheena - I should be picked as the winner…because my son is freakin’ adorable, and he LOVES having Mrs.Jody take his pictures, because she’s so cute and she takes AMAZING photos! :D

February 22, 2010 - 10:37 pm

Erin - I wanna win! My girls are due for pics, right? We always get THE BEST compliments on photos taken by Jody Lynn!!

February 22, 2010 - 10:00 pm

Ashlea - Please pick my 2 little cutie twins to win the mini-session! We LOVE your photos!!!

February 21, 2010 - 1:34 pm

Mindi - Reasons why the Corso Family would be honored to win the giveaway:

1. We’ve admired your work since I was pregnant with DS, but because DH is a student and I am a SAHM, it just hasn’t been in our budget.

2. DS turns 1 in May and this is the only way we’ll be able to do professional pictures to celebrate.

A session with you would really be a dream come true for us. Please consider us for the free mini session!

February 20, 2010 - 5:28 pm

Rachel - We love your photos and would love a free session so much! We wanted to have professional photos done of Derek but since my husband lost his job we just weren’t able to afford it. It would mean the world to us to have professional pictures taken.

February 20, 2010 - 5:05 pm

Alison - I wanna win!!! I think you should pick me because well.. you are already taking Caroline’s pics anyway and it would be nice if it were free! :) Seriously, I love your work! And I promise not to bring my crazy dog to this session. ;)

February 20, 2010 - 3:04 pm

Laura C - The Chenoweth Family would be an excellent choice because my little bear Addison is so adorable to be around and extremely photogenic! =D

February 20, 2010 - 11:48 am

Kiersten - I think you should pick the Howe family. 1, because we are awesome people, 2, I don’t have a cool camera like everyone else, 3, Elliott’s 4th Birthday is coming up, Four, Elliott is going to be turning four, 5 because my kids are so darn cute and I think you need a challenge like Allison to try and get her to sit still and pose for you even a second, 6 we are broke and cannot pay full price right now, 7 I would love to give the photos as Easter/Mother’s Day gifts to the grandparents all of which live out of state and don’t see their grandkids very often, 8 because I have not seen you in so long and we could catch up, 9 it might motivate me to lose weight, 10 because you are awesome at what you do and so very talented and I blessed to have met you!!

February 20, 2010 - 11:22 am

Jessica - Reasons why we should be picked as winner:
1. Our kid is amazing :)
2. Your work is amazing and we would be honored to have such a talented photographer do our first family photo. 3.We’ve never had a professional take our picture! I think it’s time for some GOOD pictures of us!

February 19, 2010 - 8:44 pm

Julia - Please pick the Stewarts!!

We would love some new and updated pics of just Steve and I. The last time we had anything professionally done was when we got married and I would love to have something that is just for us. (Something that is newer than six years ago! :) )

Thanks, Jody!

February 19, 2010 - 7:42 pm

Katie - I think you should pick the Harris family because you have only taken the boys pics once and it wasn’t a ‘normal’ session and plus twins are so fun to photograph :) It doesn’t hurt that my twosome are pretty handsome, plus your work is outstanding and I would love to hang your work right next to Lori’s :)

February 19, 2010 - 5:32 pm

Tonya Johnson - I think you should pick me because my family had such a great time with our first shoot and Ben didn’t really cooperate the first time so maybe he’ll be better now that he’s older and the weather will be warmer. Plus good lord willing I will be pregnant by then and you’ll be able to capture those first few weeks. And did I mention that I think you’re great?

February 19, 2010 - 4:51 pm

susan moss - I would love for you to take more photos of Ellie! She is growing up so fast, and I can’t capture her smile and the sparkle in her blue eyes the way you can. And I don’t have any photos of Ellie and I – always the photographer, never the subject.

February 19, 2010 - 4:34 pm

Brandi Greene - I waaaannnnnnna win because my kids love you and want Miss Jody to take their pictures again! Yeah, I love you too ;)

February 19, 2010 - 4:33 pm

Christie - I should be picked b/c Hailey’s bday is in January so we always have pictures when it’s cold outside. :) Would love to have some in the nice warm spring time. Plus you are super at what you do and I tell everyone that!

February 19, 2010 - 4:25 pm

Julie Maxwell - Pick me! Pick me! We get SO many compliments on the photos you have taken the past two fall seasons. I would love to have some spring photos by you :)

February 19, 2010 - 3:56 pm

Traci - Not only do Peter and I love you but Benjamin loves you too. I’m sure Noah will love you when he meets you too. :-) We’d love to win the contest so we can finally have some great family pictures of the four of us. Believe it or not, we don’t have any pictures of the four of us together yet!

February 19, 2010 - 3:21 pm

Stacie - I should definitely win a mini session b/c…

1. I love your work and I rave about you to everyone I meet… even complete strangers.
2. Gavin always smiles when YOU take his picture… but not for me.
3. I think you have the cutest kid ever… next to my own of course :-) (Flattery will get you everywhere, right?)

Oh, and I tried to link to your wall on FB but apparently I’m an idiot b/c it didn’t work and I did exactly what you told us to do. So please don’t disqualify me b/c I’m FB illiterate, ok?

February 19, 2010 - 2:20 pm

Jennifer Jaacks - Jody, we should be picked for your free session because we just found out this week that both Mommy and Daddy, who are both helicopter pilots, and are getting deployed for a year. Daddy in November and Mommy in June, and we need some amazing Jody Lynn Photos to paste on the dashboard of our helicopters as a reminder of our amazing little girl waiting for us back home.

February 19, 2010 - 1:31 pm

Staci Josef - Pick me, Pick me!

I would love to win a mini session with you. Your work is amazing and I haven’t had any really good family shots in a long time. :) Jax hardly sits still for good pictures with us and you have a knack for catching great shots no matter what!

February 19, 2010 - 12:00 pm

Brandi - I should be picked to win the free session because no one has ever taken such beautiful pics of my little boys and family. It puts a smile on my face every time I look at the walls of my house to see the pics that you took…and I’d like to update them :0)

February 19, 2010 - 11:58 am

Rhonda - I would love to win a free mini session with you because I am a HUGE fan of your work but I have not yet had the chance for you to take some pictures of my kids! My son turns 3 the week before and my little Olivia is due for her 6 month pictures, so the timing would be perfect to get some pictures of my kids and my family! Thank you!

February 19, 2010 - 11:55 am

Samantha - Because we love you, Jody!!! I love the way you capture the kids’ personalities. Your pictures show us how quickly they change and how much they’ve grown! :)

February 19, 2010 - 11:55 am

David Tuttle - Our son Jack, like all 3 year olds, seems to change everyday. Most of these changes are positive. An increasingly enquiring mind, a constant need to explore – sometimes to his detriment – and a constant look of anticipation. We are able to capture the images of these changes in our minds and describe them to friends and family members as best we can, but Jody’s session with Jack in November 2009 garnered photographic proof of some of these same characteristics. As my wife and I both have family spread out all over the country, photos of Jack seem to be the most requested item – holidays, birthdays, any day. We would love to be selected to win the mini session for April 25th. It should go without saying that the photos from that session would make many people, who do not get to see Jack very often, very happy. Thank you.

February 19, 2010 - 11:43 am

Carrie T - A great giveaway Jody! Thanks so much for a chance to win a session with you! I would love to win a mini session for Jack so that we can have some new Spring photos to make our new home a “home” again.. there is nothing that would warm this space more than his beautiful smile that only you can capture. We have had a few stressful months and I couldn’t think of anything better than coming together as a family and have you capture some happy moments that are sure to be in our future. Spring is a sign of new beginnings and that is what we have been given. You have been blessed with an amazing gift, thank you for all you do!

February 19, 2010 - 11:43 am

Julie - I should be picked to win the free session because I would love to have some beautiful photos of my baby girl, Lily to remember how adorable she is.

February 19, 2010 - 11:34 am

Amanda - I should be picked to get the free mini-session because, I love your work and you’re so great about catching Abigail’s huge personality with just one snap.
