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!

Adam and Destiny Engaged

Sunday, May 23, 2010

Last fall, I participated in a craft fair at ChristChurch Atlanta where I had a booth selling my photography greeting card, but also gave away two portrait sessions through a drawing for those who visited my booth. I remember Destiny and her mom stopping by my booth and both dropping her their names into the bowl and saying if either of us win, Destiny gets it for an engagement session. Low and behold Destiny’s name was selected! It was such fun calling to tell her that she won the free portrait session for I always love winning something and I believe Destiny did as well.

Adam and Destiny went to Columbus State University. They belonged to a group of mutual friends in Columbus and were friends for a year before beginning to date. During their time as friends, Destiny remembers the day her Mom met Adam for the first time and raved about what a polite, handsome young man her friend Adam was! The rest is history. Adam and Destiny have been together ever since, both transferring after two years from CSU to UGA and moving back to the Atlanta area for jobs after college. They will be married in September!

Engagement session was done at the amazing Cator Woolford Gardens in Decatur. Cator Woolford Gardens is an amazing place hidden away of Ponce de Leon Ave, a perfect venue for engagement pictures or to have a wedding, so if your looking for an outdoor wedding venue, I recommend Cator Woolford Gardens.
