People ask me all the time how I find the time to do all that I do. It's my randomness. I'm pretty spastic. Starting and stopping and starting and stopping. Right now I have laundry on the table (clean), dishes half done, toys partly picked up, a design started, and now I'm blogging. I do this all day. Jump from one thing to another until by midnight most of them are complete. And I can move pretty fast. But my brain works like that too. Totally and completely random usually. Just ask my sister. We talk multiple times a day and it's usually b/c I will have asked her about 3 things in one conversation only to call her back an hour later with 5 more things that came to me.
ANYWAY.
I'm just saying that this blog might get more random since everyone seems ok with that! Thanks.

Scheduled a shoot for later in January today and we're doing a "day in the life" type of shoot. I'm heading to their home and will capture them cuddling+wrestling in their big bed, reading books together, the kids playing with their favorite toys, jumping on the bed, eating, cooking, whatever they do as a family in their home that never gets captured b/c they are JUST LIVING. I can't wait! I've been dying for this kind of shoot! We're also heading outside if the weather thaws, but I am just beyond excited that we're starting in their home!
A GREAT winter shoot idea! Capturing life. As it happens. Where it happens. Love it.

With the website and everything I decided I needed some changes in my work flow, etc. and have been working on a few design changes as well. I went back and forth between really establishing a "look" for Jodified or just a logo. I settled on the logo b/c I want my LOOK to be whatever I think is cool at that moment! So my CD insert looks different than my gift certificate which looks nothing like my thank you card which does not resemble my business card. Except for the fact that the logo is the same. Loving all the changes!
That is the CD insert (for when you purchase the disk of your photos) and below is my thank you card that my clients will start receiving with their print purchase...
It's fun to be able to change things whenever I want!

Ahhh soccer.
I have a love - hate relationship with this sport.
I love that it's a field sport and reminds me of my lacrosse days. I love how passionate Chris is about it. I love that C is the best coach I know. Hands down. And just ask anyone. But I hate that it takes so much of his time. I hate that I am alone with the kids for dinner+bath+bed every single night during the season. I hate how all-consuming it is and I hate that he gets paid bubkis for the time he puts into it.
Ahhh soccer.
I do love photographing it though, and although I'm not a great sports photographer by any stretch of the imagination, I love it. And will be taking photos a lot more this year. The season is still a month or so away but they've had their first tournament; indoor of course.
***I want to print this photo big. I love it. He hates it of course, but it is SO him. LOVE IT!

Loved all the questions I got via comments and emails today. Keep them coming! I will work on a photo question post soon!
Camera settings was the most common question I got so here is one example...
Camera: Canon EOS 40D
Lens: 50mm 1.4
Settings: shutter speed: 1/200 sec, f-stop: 2.2, ISO: 1600
Post Processing: Pioneer Woman's BOOST action, dialed down a lot and an USM (unsharp mask)
*Is that how you'd like me to explain my settings or more in depth? Like WHY I chose those? let me know!

What do you think? Random = good?
