The BIG BIG NEWS! | Baltimore photography portrait studio

Okay, we have been busy busy busy busy!!!  My email boxes are so full right now, it’s unbelievable, and I promise, all will be answered and taken care of today.  I have a shoot first thing this morning, and I will spend the rest of the day answering emails and phone calls.  We finished up our first childrens/baby/maternity photography workshop of the year on Friday (we only have a few seats left for workshops this year - http://www.jodieotte.com/mentoring.htm - Our furthest attendee is coming from the UK - how fun is that! :))

At any rate, the big big news?  What is the big big news?  Well, I was getting ready to sign another lease for my current studio, and right before we started shooting for the next Similac ad in November, I happened upon another studio situation.  It all seemed too good to be true, but there it was, staring me in the face, and I had to make a decision.

Yes, we are moving into the new studio in February.  It is about a minute or two down the street from the current studio.  We will be using this entire building, and it sits on 8 beautiful private acres.  The gentleman who has renovated this building, has done a tremendous job.   Here’s a picture.

Here are two little “storyboards” of the decor going in the shooting area and the coffee-shop-style kitchen…

Needless to say, we’ve been placing orders on furniture, we have 34 gorgeous canvases that will be hung all over the building (I finally have great wall space), I have all new photography sets coming - everything from a shabby chic look to barnwood to stonework, and spring… wow, spring is going to be amazing shooting outdoors. We even have a stream going through the property!

So get ready, while I am still booking sessions right now, most are taking place starting the second week of February and we even have some booking up to August, so please contact us to get on this schedule! We also will be having an open house once everything is in place and settled, so stay tuned for the news.

Unique | Baltimore Child Photography

I’m making an effort to spend a few minutes a day through Christmas, blogging client images - ;)

I feel blessed to get to work with families and be a little part of their lives for a brief moment.  I’m a very emotional person, and I find I pick up really quickly on the vibes of others, and get a chance to really see their personalities and who they are in this brief time….  Every family is so unique and different, these children were no exception.  They wanted to do their own thing for this portrait, and of course I let them.  In looking at them here, their personalities are spot on with the picture…

Newborn . Babies . Children

So yeah, I’m a bit behind on blogging.  I don’t know where to start back up again ;)  To my customers, I have 20 client galleries being published this week, so if you are waiting, yes, yours should be up this week :)

Here are a few sessions - we’ll start with these, will show more later.   Two newborns, a baby, and a child…

Family | Maryland Family Portraits

Happy boy and his mom and dad.  This is the second time I have photographed this little guy and it was a pleasure!  The first time, he was only a week or two old.  There is a picture of him in my portrait website galleries as a baby, and I am sure you can pick out which one he is.  He still looks like his baby pictures! :)

Wide Awake | Baltimore Maryland Newborn Photographer

When I teach other photographers how to work with babies, I am always asked “What if they stay awake for the whole shoot?  What if they won’t go to sleep?”  This happens quite often actually - if they are awake, by all means, shoot, shoot, and shoot!  You can’t miss the wide-eyed awake shots!  This beauty was obviously very wide eyed and awake!

A reminder for those with older children - we are currently booking and shooting older babies, toddlers, children, and teens! This is a BEAUTIFUL time of year, don’t miss out!

Baltimore Maryland Children’s Photographer *blushing* Famous?

Bediboo Children's Baby Boutique

I called Bediboo yesterday to confirm everything concerning the boutique mini sessions for tomorrow, and as soon as I said, “Hi, this is Jodie Otte”, I was met with a “Did you know you are famous?”

*Hiding*  No, I’m not famous… I’m shy, I talk too much when I am nervous, and despite my online persona, I like to fly under the radar…. I’m very emotional but mostly keep it hidden.  I’m too sensitive.  I’m a realist.  I’m an observer; I watch how people naturally connect with others or with this world, before I click the shutter….

I teeter on the edge of obsessive compulsive.  I’m in love.  I’m a hopeless romantic.  I’m an animal lover.

But famous, I am not.  But thank you :) *blushing*

Tracey and I will see you at Bediboo!!!!
