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.

yes. yes. yes. big is certainly better.

I always encourage my clients to order BIG prints. Because I swear that 99% of the population still thinks an 8×10 is an enlargement! UGH!

Seriously, go BIG people!

Anyway, I encourage this b/c there is seriously NOTHING like having your children or your family or your pet or your grandchildren as the ART WORK in your home.

But until recently I hadn’t taken much of my own advice. Mainly b/c GOING BIG isn’t always cheap. And we’ve always had a tight budget. But the nice thing about having 20+ sessions a month is adding a little wiggle room to our budget! And what do you guess I’m spending some of that wiggle room on?

US.

That simple.

US.

I walk in my house now and see US on our wall and can’t look away. I am enthralled. I am in love. Pure and simple.

AND I’M GOING BIGGER!

As soon as Lyndsay sent me our photos I put an order in for one wall in our home that desperately needed updating…

It’s a big wall, very high ceilings and I like very symmetrical photo patterns so I got out my tape measure late that night and began to plan the new wall… THIS is what I ended up with!

(sorry for the craptastic photos… it was evening when i got them hung and DARK in the house!)

I love it. It’s right outside my office door and I can’t tell you how many times a day I turn around and just stare at those photos!

I have two orders in for canvases and I want to do a BIG 30×40 soon but for now, this makes me incredibly happy.

The sizes are 15×30 at the bottom, 16×24 of me and C and then two 11×11′s. The top b/w photo I took of Bailey’s foot prints and the rest are from Lyndsay.

I had them printed on the standout mount and LOVE it. Perfect for our old plaster walls b/c they are lightweight, ready to hang (no frames needed) and I use a straight pin to hang them in our old walls.

They are about 1/2 inch thick.

Anyway, I love it.

Thanks again Lyndsay!!!
