I’m Jodie — a photographer and creative thinker who’s always been drawn to how stories are shaped, not just captured.
A good photographer doesn’t just walk in and start snapping images. They step back, look at the scene, notice the dynamics, read the room…then start making decisions on where to stand (or sit), how to use the light, and how to direct the people in to beautifully crafted images designed with intention.
This is how I approach every single session - observe first, create second. Because every story is different, every family is different, every brand is different and every single one deserves to be photographed in a way that feels honest and authentic and beautifully unique to them.
I’m a firm believer in our differences being something to celebrate. Life would be so boring if we were all just the same - and your photos should reflect that belief!
My dream is to someday live in Maui. I'm done having babies but I wish I was never done having babies. I can easily be bribed with travel, plants, really good chips and salsa, a great trucker cap or holding a baby (do you have a baby? Hand it over!). I drink Earl Grey tea every morning. I wish I could live in an infrared sauna. I was raised in TX but I hate country music and have never owned real cowgirl boots (also, I'm not sorry about it. Deal with it!)! I absolutely love going to the dentist. Genuine, kind, imperfect people are my kind of people. I have a cat that's a stage 5 clinger and thinks he's a human baby. I love to laugh. I conquered my fear of sharks as an adult and now I love to snorkel. And hike. And redecorate everything. And order fruity cocktails. Christmastime and bedtime are my favorites.

We've all had experiences with people where we felt like just a number and not a person. I truly hate that!
You can rest assured that I take the time to notice things. I don't just learn your names, I notice details, I listen to your stories, I ask questions so I know how to best photograph you, your family or your brand. I pick up on all the little subtle things that a lot of people miss but make a huge difference. You can be sure I won't. That's part of what makes me uniquely who I am...I don't just notice the little things - I work with them to create something unique that translates your story into your images!
Lately, that way of seeing every session as a unique opportunity to tell a story has led me into a newer chapter — working with businesses to shape their branding with intention, clarity, and a point of view that helps them stand apart. Soft branding is a thing of the past - we're going bold or going home.

I wish I could put into words how amazing it feels to capture people's growing families in a way that brings tears to their eyes, or to nail a branding session and give a small business owner photos that make them truly proud and confident about their work. It's really not about me...it's about what I get to do for YOU that I'm in love with!
