Scarlett| 6 Month Milestone Session

 

There is not greater joy, than watching a baby grow and change. Embracing every new milestone and rejoicing in each new skill. What a gift to be able to capture these tiny (but mighty) steps for families!

From grabbing their toes to gummy smiles to incredible sloppy kisses, they are all sweet signs of budding personalities.

My favorite part is when mom tells me something about her babe that tugs at her heart, and then we get to capture it. For sweet Scarlett it was her newfound skill of giving mommy open-mouthed cheek kisses!

Happy 6 months, sweet Scarlett!

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

(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

Happy birthday to me! Jessica Lynn Studio is 3 years old! When I decided to start this little business 3 years ago, I had no idea what I would look like today. I have loved being able to grow into my craft and teach myself new skills (truly the whole reason I picked up a camera in the first place). And I am ever so grateful for the friends, and clients who have become friends, who have stood by me from the very beginning. What I never expected was all that goes into running a small business. In the past three years I have had:
-3 cameras
-3 computers
-3 websites
-3 lenses
and hundreds and hundreds of hours of classes and workshops. I have loved pouring myself into my passion and becoming the artist I am today. The most rewarding part of being an entrepreneur is watching yourself grow! (This is one of the dear families who has been by my side since the very beginning. Enjoy how much we BOTH have grown)

Looking forward to many more memories!
