Bobbi Jo Brooks Photography bio picture

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!

East Atlanta Village: Family Portrait Session with Katie, Spencer, EA & Rane

Yesterday, despite the lack of perfect weather, Spencer, Katie, Ella Ann, Rane and I set out for East Atlanta Village. East Atlanta Village has become my favorite place in Atlanta thanks to Kim and Reid , who introduced me to this charming part of our city a few months ago.

East Atlanta is a diverse, friendly neighborhood with traditional neighborhood charm and never ending variety of backgrounds for portraits of all types.

We met up at Joe’s Coffee Shop, a lovely little coffee shop located on Flat Shoals Ave, whose staff are friendly and serve up a great cup of coffee or in my chase a mocha.

Here is a preview of the portraits from their session. Enjoy and don’t forget to leave me some comments, I would love to hear from you!

I bought this trunk months ago from a dear neighbor with the idea of using it for children’s portraits, but had not had the opportunity to use it until yesterday. The trunk is from the late 1940′s early 50′s and was used my former neighbor’s son as a suite case for summer camp in the 1950′s. I could not image packing for camp in a trunk however using it for portraits I can. I also applied a texture to this portrait, feedback is welcomed.

Mr. Bob of 1st Class Barber & Beauty invited us to come inside the barber shop and photograph Rane in their awesome fire truck seat for kids. This was a big hit with Rane and made for some super cute portraits of this little guy who recently turned one! Thanks Mr. Bob for inviting us into your shop!

It is hard to believe Ella Ann is four years old already.
