Welcome To Jodified!

Hi. Welcome. My name is Jodie and I am a blogger. Eventually there will be a support group I'm sure. I am also a photographer. Oh, and a mom. To three small children. And I am pretty bad at balancing it all, but work everyday to get better. I also don't cook. I suck at laundry and struggle to return phone calls. I need a hair cut too but ponytails hide everything. This blog is not about that, but then it is, and sometimes it isn't. This blog is my life. My kids, my work, my struggles, my joys. My once professional, now personal blog that is totally me. And I love it. So welcome.

I’m not sure what got into me.

And if you are a client waiting on photos don’t get mad b/c I honestly don’t know what came over me. I shot the Wright family tonight, got home at 8:15pm and finished their edits at 11:30pm. I’ve never sat down and edited a shoot the same day. Never. And I had 4 other shoots in need of edits ahead of them. I wasn’t even thinking! I always upload them off my camera the day/night of the shoot and "star" the ones I want to work on but for some reason tonight I just kept going. I was a machine. An unthinking machine.

Sorry Birdsong, Parrish, Miller and Benko families! Yours are coming!

Since I finished tonight I am going to go ahead and post some… how efficient am I?

Nolan and Spencer are Parker and Grayson’s ages… which means that from experience I know those are two VERY hard ages to photograph. An almost two year old does NOT sit still and a 3 month old is floppy. I warned Angie that we probably wouldn’t get any good+traditional family portraits and 10 minutes into the shoot, after chasing Nolan around begging him to look at me, I wasn’t sure I was going to get anything.

Boy was I wrong!

He was totally throwing a tantrum in front of the "cheer up" sign! To die for!

It’s midnight and I got so much work done today I am on top of the world! And Adventures in Babysitting just came on. Do you remember that movie? Love it. Long live Thor!
