Yes… that’s right. 8 days. That is how long I will be M.I.A. as my hubby and I are taking our 3 year old on a much needed vacation. I am super excited about this bc we have not taken a vaca since our 1 year anniversary which was 5 years ago. I am going to leave my laptop behind (woohoo, go me!… this is a first) but I will have my phone which has internet (hopefully) so I will try to keep up with emails. If you need me, send me an email, but if I don’t respond you know why. Just hold off for one week and then I will return!
Anyway, I can’t leave without posting something. Here are a couple of my fav shots from a session I did two days ago. This little boy… ADORABLE! His hat… CUTEST EVER! I want one. 
See you in a week!

I was so excited to do this session. This little kid (Gabe) truly is the “All American Boy!” Blonde hair, blue eyes, representing the United Stated Military …His mom and I had such a great time playing around with all the props for the photos. (Okay, so did Gabe!) His dad works in Aviation and his uncle is in the US Army, so we had plenty of things to work with.
Taking these pictures reminded me how constantly blessed we are to have our troops fighting for our freedom and also made me think how proud I am of our country and I pray we are continually blessed by the Lord. May we never stop praying for America!
Hope you enjoy these and don’t forget to say a prayer for our men out there fighting for us!
Be Blessed!

Well, it’s another late night for me. I’m trying to catch up on my work from my wonderful Christmas time off. So that means trying to keep up with my blog, which means many late nights, which means many late night snacks! Ahhh, so that will probably turn into the need of a gym membership. Do you ever wish we could rewind time back a few decades when things were a bit simpler? Maybe even rewind a whole century.
On the other hand, I should probably be focusing on more positive things of the “now-a-days” like being able to keep in touch with friends with the click of a button, or being able to drive to the grocery store in a heated car in the winter since our grandparents apparently walked everywhere in the snow, or even having the convenience of using my flat iron on those days when the weather decides to bring static electricity to every strand of my hair. So, I guess when you find time to focus on the positives, the stress of life doesn’t seem so bad after all!
Anyway, let me try to get back to finding a point for this post.
I guess photography takes stress away from me even if I have to stay up til the wee hours of the morning editing and designing. It’s something I love to do and I think it’s all worth the few circles under my eyes easily made invisible by concealer.
So, here are a few stress free pictures from a recent session that made me smile. …enjoy!
That’s all for now. Hope you have a stress free week!

…of a new decade!
Which means lots of new, cool things are in store for Jodie Lynn Studio… I can’t wait!!! This is going to be an awesome year for us. I can’t wait to blog about it all, but first things first!
So, what should be the first thing i blog about for the start of a new year? How about the start of a brand new life! Little baby Callie born just a few weeks ago. I am in love with black and whites, so I’m putting a series of them on here first. Then i’ll end with a few colors so you can see her beautiful baby blues.
check out this look…
i just love this next pic… not totally sure why this one moreso than the rest… i just adore it for some reason!
Now to bring color to the mix…
Hope you enjoyed! Much more to come!

Okay NO, i have not blogged for the entire month of December… and YES, i pulled a few hairs out of my head from the stress of the busy season!
Good news is, i’m back! Back to the blog world for me. I’m so excited for what 2010 has in store! I already can’t wait for what might be one of my most favorite weddings so far the end of this month. It’s a vintage theme! SO excited! More of THAT in February!
Anyway, since I didn’t have time in December to blog any of my sessions, I’ve decided to just post some pics from a few of my Christmas sessions all in one post. I won’t be able to post all my sessions, but here are just a few…
Oh… and here’s the latest addition to our family… His name is Pocket!!! He’s a pom/chi and is 1 pound in this pic. He is now around 3 lbs and should be about 4 lbs. full grown.
Well, I hope you had a wonderful CHRISTmas and I hope the new year brings you many blessings!! See you soon!
