Welcome Baby Hazel! 

When Hazel’s mom contacted us for her newborn session we were so excited to meet her! The name Hazel is simply adorable and we knew that a beautiful baby would be coming. We were simply not prepared for this little cherub’s face! Her sweet little face made all the ladies at Photography by Jodi Lynn melt.

The Littlest Feet 

I heard once that motherhood was the hardest job you will ever love. There truly is no guide book for navigating the journey that is motherhood. We believe in supporting women and mothers on this journey through life. We strive to raise the next generation of future leaders and waymakers. We are always honored when you choose Photography by Jodi Lynn to capture your moments. The littlest feet make the biggest footprints in our hearts for years to come.

 

Creative Newborn Photography

We love getting creative with our newborn sessions. Our in home studio is full of decorative bows, ribbons and hairpieces for little girls. Looking for a newborn session for your son? Don’t worry, we also have bow ties and accessories for the boys as well! If you want to be included in your baby’s session, why not consider one of our Milk Bath Mama and Me Sessions?

 

 

Photography for Milestones

We love working with expecting moms in our maternity sessions, and are so excited when they choose to come back for their newborn session! In fact, Photography by Jodi Lynn has a custom package for all the stages of your baby’s life! Our Bump to One Package features 2 full photography sessions as well as 3 indoor sessions. All of your images are included for Digital Download and we include a 20 page 8×8 custom album for you to customize your baby’s first album.

 

 

Personalized and Intimate Photography 

Jodi Lynn only books a limited number of newborn sessions each month. She wants to guarantee that you will get the most personalized and intimate session. We also understand that babies are unpredictable (isn’t that an understatement!). Whether your baby arrives early or late, contact us a few months before your due date and we will get your session scheduled!

In today’s primarily virtual world, a head shot is most likely the first impression you will have with potential clients. Having a professional head shot is a great way to boost your confidence and gives others a better idea of your professional abilities. Though people say to “never judge a book by its cover”, it’s always a good idea to try to make the best first impression that you possibly can.

Here at Photography by Jodi Lynn, we want to help you stand out from the crowd and stay fresh in your potential clients and colleagues’ minds! Choosing the right outfit can take your photos to the next level. Not sure what to wear? We’ve put together a no-fuss guide on what you should bring to your photo shoot.

Keep it simple and neutral.

Not sure where to start? Black, white, and greys are go-to classic colors that are perfect for that timeless and clean look. You can never go wrong with these!

Blazer or no blazer?

We say yes to both! Always bring a neutral colored, well-fitted blazer to your shoot as we can take photos with it on and off to give you some diversity. Don’t be afraid of some color though! Bolder colors like jewel tones can still be just as nice and work well with a variety of skin tones.

Stick with tradition.

Button-ups and blouses should be the foundation to your outfit (or at least one of your outfits). A business dress, cardigan, or nice sweater are also great choices! We want you to look good, but comfortable too! You should feel like best yourself when you wear your outfit.

Let one thing be the focus.

Whether that is a jewelry piece, a pop of color, or a printed garment, chose which one should be the highlight of your outfit and keep the rest simple.

Now that you have a better idea of what to bring, let’s talk details.

What colors or patterns should I wear? Solid colors look great on camera, and let YOU be the focus in the image. However, we do love a subtle print here and there to bring in some interest. A fun idea would be incorporating a print that goes along with your type of business!

Great grooming can go a long way. Good grooming and hygiene are crucial for a great head shot. This is your chance to look your absolute best! Ideally you will want a simple, clean, and soft makeup look that shows off the real YOU. We always offer in-studio hair and makeup services for those that are interested!

How do I portray my business in my head shots?

You can always incorporate your clothes that you wear for your profession into your head shot session. Are you a yoga instructor? Let’s take some action and resting shots of you in your gear! Accessories and props are also an easy way to show people who you are and what you’re about.

Another great way to give your head shots some more style is considering a different colored background. We have multiple options at the studio, and it can bring in some life to traditional photos. Think of your industry and career field and how we can match that same feeling. We loved doing a blush pink background for our beauty team gals! If you’re wanting anything other than a white or grey background for your session, please let us know beforehand!

Why not try a more “lifestyle” approach? Let’s take some more relaxed photos in a comfortable setting that shows off your personality, and can be more versatile for your business needs.

Whatever your business or personal needs are, Photography by Jodi Lynn offers a variety of packages to suit each individual. Book your session here, or to learn more feel free to contact us!

 

The Adventure of Moms

Motherhood is an adventure. It is one of the hardest and most rewarding adventures of all time. Whether you are a mom of one or many, you are the hardest working woman for your kids. We believe in celebrating your womanhood and femininity. One way that we celebrate your beauty is with our Boudoir photography with our sister brand Le Boudour Studio. For some women, pregnancy does not make them feel beautiful and sexy. There are so many bodily changes that can be both mentally and physically taxing. This is one reason why we love maternity photography, especially our milk bath sessions!

 

Gorgeous Maternity Looks for Everyone

Pregnancy is a milestone event! It is a great time of change in a woman’s life and those that she shares her life with. Soon a new person to love will be here and Photography by Jodi Lynn can’t wait to capture all the precious moments. Do you prefer a more convservative dress or unsure of what to buy or wear? We have a full client closet of long flowy dresses and lace robes for you to wear for your session. Our closet is complete with multiple sizes and colors that will perfect the vision you have. If you are feeling inspired by these gorgeous maternity bath sessions, be sure to tell us when you call to book your session! 

 

 

Photography Packages Catered to You

Love the milk bath sessions, but no longer pregnant? We would love to capture you and your little in a Mama and Me floral milk bath! We don’t just capture pregnancy but all stages of a child’s life. We love photographing kids of all ages, whether in our studio or we can take it outside and explore the East Valley. If you are looking to purchase an all inclusive photography package, our Bump to One package is a great gift for moms! 

 

The Sexy Side of Pregnancy

If you are looking for a more ‘jaw dropping photography experience’, we do offer Maternity Boudoir sessions. All of these sessions include full hair and makeup to fully complete the pampering experience. These images look stunning hanging up in your master bedroom or master bath. Think of the look on your partners face when you surprise them with sensual maternity boudoir shots of you! This makes a great baby shower, anniversary, new parent or just because gift! 

Maternity Photography in Arizona 

Photography by Jodi Lynn loves watching your family grow. We put a focus on our relationships and enjoy capturing all of your family milestones. We always seek to fully customize your experience in our photography studio in Arizona! If your family is expanding, this is a special time. Bring your younger children to share in the experience of your maternity session to capture these memories forever. 

Spring as Sweet as Tea 

Spring has definitely hit here in Arizona. With our early 80 degree weather and practically no winter (except for that weird day of random snow?!), Arizona is back to warming up again. This is such a great time though because let’s be real, that 80 degree sweet spot feels amazing! It’s when it starts to get above that 95 mark when we really start to dread the heat we know is coming. I know I personally dream of more pool days again. When it comes to family portraits, this is the literal perfect time to get the kids together and snap a family moment in time! 

 

 

Gorgeous Arizona Landscapes

Everyone is taking their activities to the outdoors right now and we are on the exact same wave. Spring family photos are some of our favorite types of portrait sessions! Pastels, florals, and fresh air. There are so many gorgeous views around Phoenix that we love to visit for Spring family photos. First, the Lost Dutchman State Park is an all-time favorite! Mornings here are filled with native plant blooms, birds, little animal friends, and gorgeous geologic structures like the Superstition Mountains. We love this location because not only are there perfect backdrops but there is so much to learn and interact with! There is never a dull moment at Lost Dutchman State Park! After your session, take the family to Goldfield Ghost Town for lunch! 

 

 

Fun and Exciting Arizona Family Portraits 

Right next to the botanical gardens is another favorite location, Papago Park. Papago Park is home to hole in the rock as well as various bodies of water and perfect desert mountain landscape backdrops. A short climb up to hole in the rock will reveal a great view of Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Tempe! Similarly, this awesome family’s session was in North Scottsdale, up in the beautiful boulders. Jodi Lynn has been photographing this glowing mama since before she was even pregnant with her littles! She loves that she has gotten to see them grow and work with this family for so long now. That is what this business is all about, getting to know these sweet families and watch their tribe grow. 

 

 

Upcoming San Diego Family Sessions

Finally, spring leads to summer and where do many Arizonans flee too but to the beaches of California? We are so excited to announce that we will be offering for the FIRST TIME EVER – summer beach photoshoot sessions in San Diego, California on June 4th-7th! Want to catch your family in the ocean? Soaking up the summer sun? Toes in the sand? Beach family portraits are so stunning and bring such an exciting energy to your home. Let’s kick up the sand together with a California beach shoot! When booking for this session, please book the “Sweet Story” package or higher. We are booking for these now!

 

The Most Special Bond

Mommy and Me sessions are among some of the most precious moments that we capture as photographers! The first truth that babies know is their mama and that is a bond worth saving forever. Your treasured baby will grow up so fast and that is why we emphasize taking the time to catch these moments and freeze them. Mommy and me sessions are such a fantastic way to do something fun with your baby and spend quality time together. Knowing you’ve set aside this specified time to spend with your baby makes the session so much more memorable, enjoyable, and special!

Packages designed with you in Mind

Photography by Jodi Lynn has many different  photography packages available making sure that we have an option for everyone. We want to share with you a few great options for a mommy and me session. Our Soft & Sweet package is perfect for small families or mom and two siblings.  For slightly larger families, our Sweet Story package is ideal and can be booked as an indoor or outdoor session making it wonderful for families, specifically the mommy and me sessions. Our Bump to One is the ultimate package featuring 2 full sessions, 3 mini indoor sessions, full hair and makeup service, and is wonderful for capturing your baby’s entire year! All of these sessions are also perfect for including siblings.Sitter sessions are great to highlight your baby’s personality, and we can easily add on siblings or the rest of the family! This is a really sweet way to bond as a family.  Especially with multiple sessions like the Bump to One, you get to really see the bond siblings share overtime. It is a great way to capture times where they aren’t fighting over toys or the remote.

Our clients often ask us what they should wear and while we suggest arriving with a few options, Photography by Jodi Lynn has a client closet available for your session!
