I so love reading everyones comments on yesterday’s blog post. Do you like this little contest? Do you find it interesting? Would love your feedback.

So what it was a reflection of trees in a spoon! I took this while having dinner with a family from my church, only I take a camer and photograph interesting reflections in my silverware

Congratulations goes out to Jenn B who was randomly selected as the winner and she had a great answer “my interpretation, probably super far off, but it looks like the reflection in a car window when you’re driving. i see a sideways tree.” You were very close!

Thanks everyone for playing and following my blog!

My first wedding in South Georgia! Part 1

Bobbi Jo — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 03:43:37 +0000

A few weeks ago, I had the honor of attending Stephanie and Jeremy’s wedding in Valdosta, GA. I was actually not the photographer but a guest, but I did ask permission to bring my camera for after all it would be the first wedding I ever went to in South Georgia and also on a farm. So i got super snap happy and took way to many pictures but I could not help myself for everything was just lovely, unique and so Jeremy and Stephanie. I especially loved Stephanie riding up to the wedding on the back of her daddy’s tractor! I posted these on my facebook photography page not to long ago, but also wanted to post them here to share with everyone who is not on facebook!

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Hughes!

More to come!

What is it Wednesday?

Bobbi Jo — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 02:15:58 +0000

What is up with so many people hating their child’s school portrait? Why do many people I talk to make faces like the children above when I bring up the subject of school portraits? Everywhere I read online parents have strong dislikes for their child’s school portrait or the way photographers do things for one reason or another, some I am sure are very true. This all makes me really as a photographer, one being that even though it is often a lot of children we need to strive for excellence in every job we do no matter the size, two what a great business opportunity school portraits can be, at least at least it seems like a great opportunity to me. The Lord has gifted me as a photographer and I am grateful for the gifts he has given me to be able to capture images for people that capture their personalities. I love being able to share images of my clients children with them and seeing them treasured and hung on their wall. Why can’t school portraits be that?

Well, I have stepped up to the plate to give this challenge a try and I am ecstatic about it! Some of my fellow wedding & portrait photographer friends must think I am crazy but I am so looking forward to this opportunity to serve at least one school in my area. Last week, I booked my first school portrait session for this coming October! I did not set out to become a school portrait photographer but the opportunity presented itself and I knocked on the door and one door has open. I have a meeting with another school in a few days and we shall see if this opportunity develops or not, either way I love the opportunity to grow as a business, a photographer and met new people in my community. For the past two years, I have done portraits for the members of the Westminster Ballet company and I have loved the opportunity to capture great images of each of their girls and I look forward to doing the same for the school this October.

This weeks “What is it Wednesday” question is not what you think an image is or is not, but what is one thing you think a photographer can do differently to better serve a school, parents and the child in regards to school portraits. Leave a comment below answering the above question and you will be entered into a drawing for a $25 Gift Certificate to Bobbi Jo Brooks Photography to be used towards a portrait session, prints, photo holiday cards or other great products I have to offer. Comments will be accepted until Thursday night at 10 pm, so spread the word to your friends to come by and comment as well!

Thank you so much for coming by my blog and enduring my not so great writing skills
