just for jakki.

Jakki, a sweet blog reader and fellow blogger herself (her blog HERE) loves baby photos in black and white so here you go Jakki! A few of Mr Man from today!
The light was AWFUL but I'm kind of digging the ISO at 1600 lately… love the grainy look for some reason right now. Not even minding when they are slightly out of focus like the ones I got on a family walk this evening when the light was super low. There is something to be said about the imperfect photos that still are able to capture emotion and tell a story.
Not sure if it's b/c I spent all fall trying to get "perfect" photos or what, but I'm really in love with crazy actions, low light, grain, b/w and fuzzy. A phase? Maybe. It's art baby and ever changing!
So I've finished the website and am now waiting on an email from my host company telling me that it's LIVE. Starting to stress that I haven't heard from them yet. Praying my Jan 1 debut is still possible!!!
Kind of taking it easy tonight after working until so late the last few nights and feeling a tad under the weather. C and I played Seinfeld Scene It earlier and now I'm editing a shoot from last week. Hope you enjoyed this warm day if you were in St. Louis!
And now to make Jakki smile…
Oh I love this little guy! He lost some weight last week when he wasn't eating much but luckily he didn't lose all his yummy chub! Don't you just want to kiss those lips? Oh that makes me want to go wake him up and kiss him! Yeah right! Ha!
And these are from our walk tonight…
Love these two boys!
Chris was getting sick of me attempting to get an in-focus shot, he will put up with the camera for about 3 minutes before I get this:
I love how confused Gray looks!
For some reason these shriveled up berries really spoke to me.
And although it just about killed him, I handed Chris the camera and forced him to take a few of me. I need to do this more often so the kids actually see me in their young lives!
It was so windy and I love my crazy hair here!
And me and my girls.
Here's hoping I have a website up and running by tomorrow night!

two more days
Posted on December 29, 2008
Wow.
I want to write a novel about how excited I am to launch the website in a few days but it's midnight and my kids wake up in 5 hours with a nursing session or two between now and then. So instead I just want to mention that man oh man I am so excited!
Dreams coming true and all that jazz.
Also, for all you Jodified clients out there, even past clients who will have a "grandfather clause" to fall back on, the deal of the century is almost over! To review… if you book NOW for 2009 and get me a 50% deposit BEFORE the 1st of the year you will LOCK IN the 2008 rates ($250 and a FREE disk). I've had a lot of bookings already but I want to make sure you know that this is the best deal I will ever offer.
And does anyone outside of St. Louis want to be a Jodified client? If you are in the Kansas City (or surrounding areas) area I will be traveling there for a weekend of sessions in June! I will announce the date soon but please email me with interest!
Oh, and do you notice the look and feel of the blog is a bit different? Yep. Changes all around baby! NEW LOGO to be released soon (teaser on the new banner!), no more albums of client images, soon-to-be albums of my own family, etc. I will also be updating my blog+website links soon so please shoot me an email if you want me to link your blog or website here… I won't promise I will link it, but I promise I will take a look at your site and see if I love it!
So that's what I've been doing the last few days. Editing photos, website building, blog renovating, snot wiping, potty training, etc. Oh yes. We're potty training Parker. Lord help us all.
To leave you tonight, so I can go collapse into bed feeling pretty miserable (totally caught someone's cold!), here is a sneak peek from my shoot the day after Christmas…
Just a peek!
Keep voting! We've had almost 400 votes! Spread the word and tell your family and friends to help you win! One vote per person please!
This is such an exciting week… I've never yearned for the new year to come so badly!
