Thank you all for the turnout of models. We had over 100 local baby models apply. The final four were notified. I am going to try to send a personal message to each and every one of you, but I hope you all read my blog and at least see this — Everyone has such absolutely beautiful babies, and I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to respond to the casting call.

Please keep an eye on this blog in the future for more of these exciting opportunities!

We are also in the process of making some changes to our website - check it out every once in a while as changes are made –> Baltimore baby and child photographer, Jodie Otte, Black Horse Studio

You think I am kidding? Babies and more babies! This photography “prop” was a find that I really did happen upon. I was on vacation this summer, and happened to be looking in a store and had a bright idea. Thankfully, the owner of the store sent us on a little trek to his father’s house. I think I am going back again this year! I’m going to try to contact him ahead of time and see if he has found anything else for me….

ATTENTION! We have ONE seat remaining for the March 27th workshop - please see www.jodieotte.com/mentoring.htm for details!

Wakeup Call to all Women Out There…

March 5, 2009 – 7:49 am

This is just a wakeup call to all women out there. We had quite a shock happen recently. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer during her yearly mammogram. Breast cancer does NOT run in our family. No other women in our family have had this. I personally was under this false belief that because we did not have breast cancer in our family, that I didn’t have to worry about it. Wow was I wrong!

For those who pray, if you would please keep my mother in your prayers. I know we have a circle of prayer chains going now, and I am so thankful for my friends who have sent such encouraging messages. We are very thankful that it was caught at stage 0. This means that it doesn’t look like she will have to undergo chemo. I am personally amazed that this was caught so early. So all women out there, please get your routine exams and mammograms! This is so very important!

Love these!

I have a secret – Okay, I am addicted to finding handmade jewelry on Etsy. I’ve gotten my daughter involved as well - she is always looking for interesting necklaces whereever we go. I’m not a big jewelry person, so odd little pieces fascinate me

I purchased this necklace weeks ago, and it traveled from overseas and finally arrived. I love the delicate details - this image doesn’t really do it justice, but there are hand tied perfect little knots - love the assymetric design. I went back and bought three more today - couldn’t help it.
