Behind the Lens
All about ME + MY LOVE FOR PHOTOGRAPHY
My heart for photography started at a young age when I was surrounded by my Dad’s images and heard him constantly talk about photography. Seeing his work throughout the years stirred up my own passion for photography later on in life. I’m so thankful my Dad instilled such an appreciation for photography early on. Little did he know the impact it would have on me and how it would shape the way I view things … with and without a camera.
In 2012, I turned my hobby into my profession with a photography degree. Along the way, I've been mentored by some gifted photographers and have gained invaluable experience and wisdom that I'll forever be grateful for.
I love seeing the joy that comes from everyday moments in life and to see them come through in a photograph. That’s what I like to capture. Just people being people. Laughing. Interacting. Enjoying life. It’s in those moments where we can see the sweetest smiles and the most genuine emotions.

THE GALLIK FAMILY
Jodi has helped us capture so many milestones with our family. She is always so sweet and patient with our children and amazes me with the moments she captures. She consistently delivers amazing photos!
THE BROWN FAMILY
Jodi was fantastic to work with. She is kind, makes the session fun, and works with toddlers very well. I am the happiest I've ever been with our family photos and we will definitely be regular customers.

Another amazing holiday session with Jodi! She is so easy to work with and is able to capture the best photos of our family (even when we add the dog)! I'm always so happy with our photos.
THE PETERSEN FAMILY
Jodi has such a gift for capturing moments. She is kind, patient, easygoing, and never in a hurry. As a mom of 4 including one who sometimes requires a little more time, she always manages to highlight our unique personalities and best traits through her photography.
Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them.
