Hello! My name is Jodie. I live in Minnesota where the temps can fluxuate by 20 degrees in one day. Most of my photos have been taken very close to my home, a 10 acre hobby farm., where I raise Alpacas and chickens. I am a band director, a musician/singer and a photographer/adviser on the yearbook committee. My camera of choice is a Nikon. I have a D90 and a D70. I also have a SB800 flash and favorite lens is Nikon 18-200mm AF-S, with VR. Revisiting the visual arts is something I should have done years ago. If I see something remarkable, I just try to capture it. Nobody else will ever see it quite that way again so I hope you try that, too. This is just like expensive therapy for us.  Thank you for visiting and may you have a peaceful day!Â

I've wanted to visit your portraits more, and I chose this at random, just to 'dive in'---and it's just gorgeous. I assume portraiture is an art all to itself, and I don't know how photographers do so many arts at once; but what's so portrait-like about this is that you captured a human as a radiant burst, both luminous and very gentle. She fits into the world around her, but also stands out from it; and you've caught highlights on her hand as if to emphasize the 'connecting point' between the two; and the tree is in just enough focus to be whole itself, while backing her as well. But above all---and this, I assume, is what portraiture is all about---you captured an utterly whole human being, radiant & unassuming & wholly present. Simple & beautiful. My bows.
