Glad you're here!

If you’re anything like me – you both get really excited and stress out about upcoming photos. How will the session go? Will my kids cooperate? And the big question – WHAT DO WE ALL WEAR? Let me take the guesswork out of it for you! I’ve put together a few quick tips and several […]

Talk about a dreamy home to shoot in….I had ALL the heart eyes when I pulled up to my client’s new home! Honestly, I was sad when they told me they were moving because they previously lived in one of my favorite areas of Fort Worth in the cutest home. It was older and had […]

I hear it all the time – “My house isn’t (fill in the blank) enough to do photos there”. Isn’t big enough. Isn’t fancy enough. Isn’t decorated enough. Isn’t clean enough. And I hear you – I have felt the same way before but let me tell you something – it isn’t true. A skilled […]

“Do people even read blogs anymore?” She asks herself as she submits her first post in a year.   A year.   And not just any year, but the year we stayed home. Like…what did I do with all that time? I didn’t have time to post ONE new blog in that whole year? I […]

  There’s a magical formula I love for my Right At Home sessions. Are you ready to hear it? Super casual clothes Bare feet Absolutely NOTHING planned No gimmicks, no props, and no fake smiles And a whole, whole lot of cuddles   That’s it. That’s the kind of session I could shoot over and […]

This is what 2019 is looking like. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t squealing a little bit right now! Because THIS is really, really what I love. And I am determined in 2019 to do more of what I love. And less of what I don’t. More connection. More feeling. More mamas just […]

Okay so it’s been awhile since we actually shot this session. Last spring, to be exact. And truly, I thought I blogged it and I’m shocked that I didn’t! One of those very Jodie things to do….doing things in my head but not actually getting them done in real life. Oopsie. Anyhow – this session […]

I’ll tell you what friends. If you were to close your eyes and try to dream about me having one of my best 1/2 years ever, you’d probably be pretty accurately envisioning what January-June 2018 has looked like for me, for reals. I’ll give you some real life examples: I opened my dream studio in […]

When I arrived at this session, I knew it was going to be incredible. The parents were relaxed, the baby was content, and there was a bare-bellied toddler bouncing around in the backyard. I secretly hoped that mom would leave him just as he was – that cute little tummy showing and diaper sticking out […]

Do you want to know something crazy? I did this shoot a little over 8 months ago. That’s not the crazy part. It’s one of my favorite shoots, ever. A mom and her boys at home on an ordinary day, doing ordinary things. As I was looking at photos I just took of these two […]
