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.

to stretch my legs.

I'm sure that every photographer out there right now is desperate for warm weather, blue skies and a fun family to photograph. At least I know I was. Thank goodness for today.

Not only did I get to photograph the sweetest little 6 pound bundle, I got to photograph one of my good friends and her son while teaching one of my favorite clients how to use her new DSLR. Oh those creative legs. They were tight and in major need of stretching. And to spend just a short amount of time with good friends was such a blessing.

I am tired beyond words but before I call my day done I wanted to post these photos for Emily. And a sneak peek for Sarah, Tim, Asher and Violet.

Babies first don't you think?

***the knit baby sac was made for me by a client's mother, Kathy,  who is my knitting hero! She's been working so hard! Thanks Kathy!!!***20090226_0432b

Sarah thinks that little Violet will have her Daddy's big brown eyes… I think she already has her Momma's beautiful blue eyes!

A great big thank you Crow family!

And now some photos for Emily:

Emily was up for anything and totally willing to be a model while I taught Amy all about camera settings. She even wore a SUPER colorful outfit like I asked her to! I love working with other photographers b/c they just GET IT! Thanks Em and have a great trip Amy! Manual all the way baby!

Well folks, I survived today on 1.5 hour of sleep. Not totally sure how but I did. Us moms, we're tough. My mom took the girls for a sleepover tonight so that we only have to deal with one crazy non-sleeping kid, thanks mom! I'm really hoping tonight goes better b/c sleep just sounds like heaven right now.

Damn Grey's repeat tonight. They just have NO idea what that does to a tired mom. I might write a letter. Ok. Day is DONE.
