6 month old Lifestyle Session| Spring Grove Photographer

6 month old Lifestyle Session| Spring Grove Photographer

I love being asked into a family’s home to capture the sweetness of their daily life. To see them in the favorite places, with the parts of their world that they love… these are some of my very favorite shoots.

I captured itty bitty Caleb in his home when he was just a newborn, so it was extra special to return 6 months later to capture him with some of his favorites… bubbles and his big brother.

Even more fun is capturing the interaction between brothers. Caleb simply beams when his big brother enters the room. I loved getting to see their sweet love for each other.

There are so many more adorable shots from this shoot. Playing in their bedroom, snuggling on their beds, reading their favorite books. But for now, just a quick dip in the sink!

Sweet Little Leo | Spring Grove Newborn Photographer

When a family comes to Jessica Lynn Studio it is a privilege and an honor to be let into their world during the first days of their new life. Amidst feedings, sleepness nights, and adjusting to being a family of four, I’m so grateful that they came to me to capture these precious first days.

 

Little Leo (who truly isn’t so little at over 10 pounds), already fits perfectly into this Wisconsin family. And his older 18 month old brother (while he might not know it yet) was just given a best friend!

Welcome, Leo! I can’t wait to see what big thing this world has in store for you!

Just a Moment | True Rest

Just a Moment | True Rest

(sorry folks, gonna go a little deep today)
Over the past year, I’ve been pondering the idea of REST. Real rest. What is it? What does it look like? How does it make me FEEL?
For years my idea of rest was bingeing on my favorite Netflix episode (ugh… auto next episode) or lounging around with my favorite novel. But I realized that, even though these things feel relaxing while I’m doing them, I end up feeling tired… worn out… empty.
But I thought I was resting?
On a recent trip to the beach with my family I realized that true rest is restorative, nurturing, soul fulfilling. Rest grows us from within. Fuels us. Makes us better people. And it’s hard. Rest takes work! It’s the effort of doing when we don’t feel like it, and being present when we might not want to be. But afterwards we feel whole instead of depleted. Worthy instead of sucked dry.
For me, that weekend, it was being completely present with my family. Instead of drowning in a book on the beach, we searched for the perfect seashells, dug our feet into the chilly sand, and threw rocks into the waves. We made memories and moments instead of just taking a time out.
So what gives you rest? Where is your passion? Is it volunteering, exercising, cooking, creating, organizing? These are the things that will restore you!

So, as we enter fall, rest well, friend. Rest well.

Just a Moment | From France to the Farm

Did you know that you can buy my work on Amazon?
Once upon a time, while waiting for our girls during dance class,Angela Reed and I struck up a friendship. (We would later find out that we’re related! Small world!) I learned that she was a local momma blogger who was writing a cookbook, and when she asked if I wanted to help, I grabbed my camera and ran over! We spent fun afternoons in her kitchen and garden capturing slices of her passion (and even one of her in the bathtub!) Those shots went into her cookbook, and you can buy your own copy today! (pardon the dirty fingerprints on my edition- I use it all the time)
I recently shot a lifestyle session for her, and you can see glimpses of her amazing house and adorable family on my blog.

AND you can order your very own copy here!
