Hello & Welcome To My Blogsite!

My name is Joanna, & my nick-name is J'Lynn and I am a lifestyle photographer. I am located in Northern Arizona, in the beautiful Verde Valley. I have a great husband, & four beautiful children who inspire me daily!

My Photography Style:
Lifestyle photography. I shoot 100% natural light, on-location photography.

I would describe my style as being natural/organic, very non-traditional. I love to capture those moments when you forget I'm even there. A child taking hold of your hand, a shared smile, a kiss, a tear. Those are the moments that make my heart flutter, and make me feel so very lucky to be doing what I do!!
Simply documenting a day, a memory, a moment in time.......just life as it happens.

I am so happy you found me and I look forward to hearing from you!!

Last week I went down to the valley to photograph the Gibson family. Recently the Gibson’s cousin surprised them, and sent a nomination to Giving Back Photography for the family to receive a free photo session. A fellow photographer friend contacted me, and asked if I was close to Scottsdale. This is how I found out about Giving Back Photography, the Gibson’s & their critically ill daughter… Cloey.  I was so excited to be a part of this, to be able to give this family a few memories to hang on their walls…Of Cloey, Cal & Lainey. You see Cloey was born with a very rare genetic disorder that affects every system in her body……but it has not touched her beautiful smile, her spirit or her ability to make everyone around her feel her love.  I count myself blessed just to have been near this beautiful family. Cal is so funny always making his family (and me)  laugh. Lainey is so shy that I had to chase her to capture that adorable smile. :) Megan & Ty your love for your family was a beautiful thing to see, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

To learn more about Cloey visit her blog @  http://princesscloey.blogspot.com/

I love this first shot! I had asked Cloey what color her beautiful hair was. She stopped and thought, then tried to look.

Her answer………..CURLY!!
