About Me!

Hi, I'm Bobbi Jo!  Welcome to my blog.  Writing is one of my least favorite things in the world and I speak through photographs, but here are a few things about me:

  1. I am passionate about photography.  Actually, I even say that photography is my love language.  Yes, silly, I know, but it is true! With a camera in my hand, I love to explore the world, capturing life and beauty as they unfold before my lens, which is an extension of my eyes.  Then I greatly enjoy sharing images I capture with others.  
  2. I love to travel, exploring each unique place and culture I visit.  I often do not stay put for too long. So, please, if you have an interest in hiring me for your wedding or portrait session and you do not live in Atlanta, do not let that hinder you from considering me.  My travel agent is on speed dial! Check out how I spend my summers in New York City - www.mtwandoe.blogspot.com
  3. With my love for travel, I also enjoy international foods.  I even love to prepare international food for large groups.  Chicken curry is my favorite dish to share with others.  A few weeks ago, I made it for sixty people and it was yummy! If you like international food as well, perhaps we should plan your wedding or portrait session over your favorite international dish!
  4. I am down to earth and approachable.  I also love details and want to make each wedding and portrait session unique, reflecting back your personality, interests, and special moments of life.  I look forward to getting to know each of my clients.  Oftentimes clients become friends, which is a treat!

Welcome to my new blog!

Hello! Welcome to my new blog! I’m excited about my new blog layout and design, and I hope you will be, too. I love the fact that I can now display larger images than on my previous blog. The picture below is of Anslee & Chris, whom I had the chance to photograph in Long Island City, NYC this summer, more images of their session coming soon.

Chris and Anslee

I have been out of the blogging world for a few months, but they were a fun few months! It was an exciting time, full of travel, weddings, vacation, and various photo shoots mixed in between all of the above. Right now, I am preparing for a trip to Rome, GA this weekend to visit my dear friends Jana, Kane and Mara Kate and also for a family portrait session at Berry College. I am very excited about visiting with them but also to return to Berry to photograph such a beautiful family in a location I love to photograph!

On October 24, I will be photographing Caroline & Dave’s wedding in Macon, GA at the fabulous Hay House. I am looking forward to this wedding not only for the beautiful location, but also because Caroline was one of the first friends I made when I moved to Atlanta five years ago. It is an honor to not only be her photographer, but also her friend.

I am SUPER SUPER excited about their wedding location, The Hay House Two weeks ago, I drove to Macon to scout it out. Here is a shot of the lovely dining room. Amazing!

The purpose of this blog is to share my recent work with you, offer pieces of photography tips (for all levels) or direct you to ones I found helpful, post up coming specials and to keep up with me and all my many adventures!

Photography is a gift the Lord has given me to bless others. I love capturing life as it unfolds before my lens and creating memories that those I serve can enjoy for generations to come. Photography also teaches me to stop and see the beauty that exists all around me, to stand in awe of God both for who he is and for the beautiful world he has created.

Enjoy the few posts already below, and be sure to check back–I will update often. And if you have feedback to offer or suggestions about something you would like to see on my blog, please use the comment button below! I would love to hear from you! A special thanks goes out to Elizabeth for your help with my blog, you are an awesome roommate!

I will leave you with an image from the end of photographing the wedding of my dear friends Troy and Amy in San Antonio in 2007. Someone took my camera and Troy and Amy surrounded me! It is an image I will treasure forever.
