so, here it is january!!  a brand new year is ahead of us.  a chance to write whatever we want on the big, blank canvas staring us in the face.  a time to make a few small changes, or a time to chart a new course.  and speaking of new courses…

picture this will no longer be shooting high school seniors.  the gallery will remain open until june 30 to allow for graduation card orders for the class of 2013.  additional print orders will continue to be available after that date though will be completed via email.

i cannot begin to tell you what a difficult decision this has been for me.  i have been so fortunate to have had the best group of young men and women as my clients for the past 5 years.  it has been an absolute privilege to be a part of your senior years.  you will hold a very dear place in my heart, and i will never forget your wonderful smiles.

if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to drop me a line or give me a call.

picture this will be undergoing a branding change and new blog look.  food and food photography will be the primary focus.  and of course, you will still find copious doses of the random idiocy which seems to be so prevalent in my life!

please continue to follow me on instagram, twitter (jwilson133) and facebook.  any announcements will be made there until the new blog is up and running.

see you soon…

is your holiday pantry in order? in the next couple of weeks, i hope to share some recipes and tips to make your holidays all the more happy.  and if you haven’t already, please start following me on instagram.  you can find me @jwilson133.  as my son can attest, i take way too many snaps of food.  but who knows?  you may just get inspired…

peace – jodi.

1. my email has been hacked AGAIN!!  i have been working with yahoo to rectify the damage.  if you have received any unexpected emails from me:  DO NOT open them.  i will always include a subject line in my correspondence with you as well as a personalized greeting.  to those of you who have alerted me to this problem, a very big thank you!!  i hope this has caused no one a major inconvenience.
2. yes, i am still booked to the end of the year!  i am still receiving requests for sessions, and, although i love getting them,  it is truly a major bummer to have to turn away so many of you!  thank you for all of your lovely requests!
3. ordering session spots are beginning to fill, and the holidays, like it or not, are just around the corner!!  please call sooner than later to book your gallery time.

i hope you are having a fabulous week, and i hope to jump back to regular posts at the start november.  until then, i leave you with one of my favs from the class of 2013…

because i am an idiot, i forgot to take a snap of the ever-magnificent make-up artist, jen, working her magical power upon michaela.  but i think in one little look you won’t be able to deny that michaela looked STUNNING!!!  good grief, girl.  you sleighed it…

see what i mean about that sunshine-iness of her smile??  (yeah, i know sunshine-iness isn’t a word, but it’s my blog, and i can make up words if i want!!)  and THOSE EYES!!!

she get an A++++ is posing, too!

as much as i adore that first shot, there is just something about this that knocks me flat.  so candid.  so “60s-love-story-ish”. so FFFAAVVV!!!

i thank you for such a fun session, micheala .  thanks for braving the chilly temps and the excessive stares from the man on the bicycle.  it was soo00 worth it;))))

peace – jodi.

there is just something magical about autumn light.  i would say dylan fits into the magical category as well!!  i LOVE this!!  total fav. or. ite!!!

hello, handsome!!  i cannot even tell you how much i adore the shot on the right.  jordan, you nailed it!!

like his brother, jordan is also a wrestler.  isn’t he too sweet to be a wrestler?

and i LOVE freckles in black and white!!

peace – jodi.

hello, hollywood??!!  that smile!  those eyes!  i . am. undone.  get this kid an agent!!!

serious or smiling, you are a rock star, harrison!

i have so far failed to mention that in addition to being an all-around great guy, harrison is also a basketball demon.  a heavily scouted small forward (isn’t that an oxymoron??), he plans to continue his basketball dominance into college.  or become a nike model…

speaking of modeling…  WOOOOOOW!!!  why does the phrase “Is it in you?” come rushing into my head when i look at this?  harrison,  you are INCREDIBLE!!!!

thank you for being such a joy to be around, harrison!  please remember me when gatorade comes calling…

peace – jodi.
