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!!

Ben, Sarah & Chaeli

A year ago I received an email…a couple who are currently serving our country in the US Navy were looking for a photographer. A few short weeks later I would meet Sarah & Ben when they both came home on leave before Ben was to be shipped out for 9 months. Right by her mothers side was beautiful little Chaeli whose smile could light up a room!! The engagement photos we got that day were so touching. Ben’s love for Sarah & Chaeli was evident in every shot.

Sarah had a pretty bad break and infection in her foot just weeks before the wedding that she has been trying to deal with. You would never guess the pain she must have been in, but instead you see the beauty and grace which is Sarah. Somewhere along the way it changed from client to friend, and so to see this family become one was truly a joy for me and all the others who celebrated with them on their special day!  Thank you Ben & Sarah for choosing me to capture your families beginning as I am sure you will all have a beautiful and loving life together.

XOXO, J
