Celebrating life love and laughter (Wagga Wagga Couple Portrait Photographer}

2010-02-02T21:45:00.000+11:00

I was so privileged to meet this wonderful couple on Saturday for a session that I really really enjoyed. I loved seeing this couple so into one another and after a little bit of awkwardness when we went to our first location only to find them setting up for a wedding we had a great time chatting and laughing and totally loving life. Mrs W has a lot to celebrate with personal triumphs that make her shine. You can see by looking at her that she is strong and add gorgeous to that with a husband that adores her she has it all. They are a wonderful couple that I really enjoyed spending some time with. Thank you for getting in contact with me and letting me share some moments in time with you.

A couple of Canberra Cuties {Wagga Wagga Family Photographer}

2010-01-18T16:55:00.001+11:00

We travelled to Canberra for a weekend away that turned into a great morning session with some friends of ours and a photographer friend of mine who has newly relocated to Canberra. Shanna of Jolie Jones Photography was kind enough to take some photos of my family and has done a fantastic job of getting my reluctant little fellows to smile! You can see our session sneak peek on her blog!

Now for some cuties! Our little cuties belong to both our family friends and Shanna with the Mr J and Miss S being full of smiles and happy to play and laugh!

Here is Miss J in her gorgeous dress all the way from the States! I just loved it! Another photographer friend made this for her and it totally suits her! Miss J and her Teddy in the garden just makes you think of tea parties and lots of girly things!

Once the kids were occupied with a packet of twisties we took some Mum and Dad time to get them together which as any parent know can be far and few between!

Oh and I couldn't forget one other member of the family! I snapped a few shots of the family pet who just loves to lounge around on the couch!

Isn't she gorgeous! Lots of big dark eyes to get around you for a treat, pat or cuddle!

Thanks so much to our friends and Shanna for a fabulous morning! The kids were great and topped it off with a play in the park so all was right with them as well!

I wish you every success in your new venture in Canberra! They are lucky to have you!

I have finally been able to put into fruition an idea that has been poking around in my head for ages and ages. I love the idea of letters and kids and letting the combination of the two show their real personalities. Over the last couple of days I have madly been getting enough letters (all of the alphabet actually) ready to go. The ideas are endless as to what can be done. Thanks so much to Jocelyn - my friend who supplied a painting expertise and time as well as fabulous looking kids as models!

Here are some of my name frames that are available in lots of different combinations, sizes and shapes. it is you, your name and your personality that makes it so special and fun and unique! A really quick and easy fun filled photo session that brings out the best in the kids and adults alike!

Crocodile Encounter {Wagga Wagga |Children |Photographer}

2009-10-03T23:16:00.003+10:00

I was fortunate to take my camera during the Crocodile encounter at my children's Daycare on the 30th. Mr T my little one gave pats too all the snakes, lizards, turtles, crocodiles that came around. The kids were fascinated by them There was the smiling crocodile Captain Crunch, Speedy the Turtle who could flip over, Spotty the snake, Olivia the olive python who could climb up the air to check out the streamers, the shingle-back and blue tongue lizards were a bit of hit as well. Some of the children were not too fussed on the snakes others let the turtle and lizard have rest on their heads!

Some very brave teachers and children even had a go at giving Olivia a cuddle!

Here are a few images from Wednesday!

I have made all the photos available at school. If your child was there they most likely were in one of my photos and if you would like a copy, please email me on jlbphoto@tpg.com.au and we can arrange it.

Canvas for Cancer Fundraiser

I am a bit happy to see that my house pictures/fence that I did as a canvas for my Dad and the Canvas for Cancer fundraiser made it into the Cootamundra paper yesterday! . Can Assist is having a Canvas for Cancer fundraiser and artists from Cootamundra (and Wagga :P) have created art work to be auctioned off tomorrow night.

We created two 30 x 90 cm (12 x 36 in) canvases for this event to be held in Cootamundra Saturday 12th September, 09. The first was a photo that Dad took up at Airlie Beach in Nth Queensland and loves, and the other was a series of photos that I took while still learning how to use my camera effectively.

Why I have been a bad blogger...

2009-08-22T21:30:00.000+10:00

I realise that my photography is something that I am pursuing with all that I am and that my blogging needs to be a little more frequent. In saying that - where have the last few weeks gone?! We had a trip to Sydney with our children introducing them to the delights of the Taronga Zoo and their first Live stage show where they were old enough to remember, followed closely by a 10 day stay in Sunny Townsville. While we were there we was fortunate to attend and do some of the photography for my cousin Jill and her now husband Bruce's wedding. This was one of the most nerve wracking days I have been through - probably since my own wedding followed closely by the day I realised that I really was a mum! So we were able to see gorgeous sunrises and a beautiful bride, bridesmaids, flower-girl and handsome men all dressed up for the occasion.

Here are a few images from our time away.>

and from the wedding...

I have to say that the hummer was one gorgeous HUGE black car for the bridal car - very cool!

These are just a couple from this wonderful day.

Thanks Jill, Bruce and Miss M for sharing your day with us all.

Capturing the Everyday

2009-06-22T22:31:00.000+10:00

Sometimes photography is all about capturing the every day. Does it mean that every single shot has to mean that you are perfectly outfitted for the occasion? I hope not. I find as the mother of two little boys are incredibly full on at times that the little moments that mean the most to me tends to happen when you just don't expect it. Master T is one of those kids that at the moment is pretty good at letting me capture those moments. He loves to climb on the mail box, and when the sun is setting it just highlights his red hair perfectly! or grab a piece of hose and swing me around with him while taking his photo!

here is Master T

Something so simple

Pirate Pete Show at ABC

2009-06-11T22:19:00.000+10:00

I was able to join my children in a very entertaining show at their Daycare. Pirate Pete was a funny man with a very cool out fit of red boots, a big feathery had and a guitar. The kids took a little while to warm up to the songs and once he had sung a few songs, played a couple of games and brought the teachers and parents up in handcuffs they were won over. Here are a few images from this great show that the children at Daycare enjoyed.

Thanks for letting share such a wonderful experience J

Session Information

2009-06-01T22:43:00.003+10:00

I am a natural light photographer, specializing in on-location work. I am still in the portfolio building stage of photography and when I am not creating memories for you I am teaching children in local Primary Schools.

Sessions generally last 1-2 hours, but will not end until quality images can be achieved.

The session fee includes the photographer's time and talent as well as individual digital processing of each image. This fee includes up to 6 people, proofs of up to 30 carefully selected images in both colour and B&W which will be available within 10 days of your session

I love the casual and candid style of photography, therefore I recommend keeping clothing simple and comfortable.

It is important to wear clothing that suits you and your child, but try to stay away from patterned clothing such as floral, plaid and/or logos. Bright solid colours with jeans or Khaki's work great! If more than one person is being photographed, dress in similar or complementary colours. The most important thing for your wardrobe is that you are comfortable. By wearing what you love then your photos will reflect you and your family.

Newborns are often photographed naked, and are best photographed within the first two weeks of life when they are still at their sleepiest. I am happy to come to your home or hospital room to capture these precious moments. Try to dress babies in loose clothing to avoid having clothing lines on their skin. I will be bringing a few hats and blankets and you are welcome to include a favourite blanket or hat in the session.

Maternity Sessions are best done between your 32nd and 36th week as this is when you are at your roundest and are less likely to go into labour. Your maternity session can be at a location within the town, at a park or at your home. We can discuss this in pre-session consultations as to what you prefer and feel the most comfortable, tailoring the session to your needs.

You may wish to bring a few change of clothes for children, I offer unlimited clothing changes!

Thanks J

We had a great time taking some engagement photos and chatting our way through a couple of hours! There is nothing better than being able to capture moments in time for friends. Thanks for such a fun afternoon.

enjoy J

I had the most wonderful time having a session with this awesome teenager! She is right into photography as well so we were learning things off each other all morning! She was so helpful in thinking up some new poses to try as well and loved the idea of having a shoot down town! We were both a little nervous but once that was gone we had a blast!

Here she is!

Thanks Miss E!!

I love seeing a sunset

We went for a little drive tonight and ended up at the river at sunset. It was magnificent. I love seeing how things can change in an instant to perfectly lit and visible to wonderful silhouettes within moments.

enjoy J

Miss E

Miss E is my first session! She is a gorgeous, cheeky funny darling daughter of a friend of mine. A get together for a coffee turned into a mini session for them. For a little girly that has only met me a couple of times in the past we had a blast in her kitchen and backyard!

Thanks M and Miss E for a great time!

All about me

2009-04-01T22:27:00.000+11:00

Hi I’m Jodie. I am passionate about photography and have been as long as I can remember. My life has taken many turns with what are my goals and I have never stepped away from photography. As a teacher I get to see the wonders of building knowledge in children’s eyes, but capturing the look of wonder when blowing bubbles or chasing a big brother or sister or the tender moments of a newborn meeting their family for the very first time is so much more amazing because it is real life at its best.

I tend to have a creative side to me that leads me creating fun and interesting things as well as works of beauty and art. This creativity has led me to pursue photography as my outlet. I am a scrapbooker and dabble in patchwork, which has led to a much greater desire to capture the every day and the special moments that we get to enjoy and treasure.

I love to see people captured as who they are in that moment. Do you have to be perfectly clothed and posed to have a portrait taken? Certainly if that is how you would like to remember that moment. I also love candid moments that capture your essence – even if that means that your kids will not get out of their pyjamas at all for anything.

As the Mum to two very energetic little boys that present me with wonderful opportunities to create memories with I know that I feel the need to capture your moments so that you can look back and say yep that was us. As a wife I also understand the need to capture those moments that are just the two of you. As a daughter and a granddaughter the connections that are our families are such a beautiful thing. The look of a great grandmother holding their newborn grand-baby is precious and fleeting. Life changes so rapidly and I hope to be able to provide you with a way of stopping time for just that moment.

I shoot on location using natural light so if you are more comfortable at your home, or you have a favourite place in which you would love some memories captured, I would love to be able to help create some lasting memories for you and with you.

A little about me

2009-04-01T21:30:00.000+11:00

Just look back is how I see what we do everyday. We live and love by creating memories of the people and beauty around us. I love to see the world around us in the different glow of our lives. Each and every day is a new and exciting time regardless of who we are. We love, we laugh, we discover. Through photography I have discovered a passion to help capture the memories that we hold dear so that as time goes by they let you just look back to remember that moment in time.
