Senior: Andrew

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love Senior Photography.

Andrew is graduating this January. We had such a nice and relaxed lifestyle session just before Christmas.

Christmas '13: O'Connell's

I just have to say, this family is amazing. They're beautiful inside and out. Just from the little time that I get to spend with them each session, I can tell you that Michelle (mom) is amazing, she has a big heart and loves her children more than anything. John (dad) is a devoted father who adores his wife and children. Elizabeth absolutely adores her parents, almost as much as she adores her younger siblings. Peter is sweet as can be and has the best personality I've ever seen in a 6 year old. Little Sarah is their miracle. She is the light of any room and just plan adorable. Their family is so strong and devoted to one another, its just beautiful. They are truly a blessing to me.  Enjoy their preview!

P.s. While we did have some very serious images, we also managed some playful ones :) (my favs)!!

Emily

In June of '13, my mom tripped and broke her toe. For most people that's not such a big deal other than it hurts.
However my mom is a diabetic. So everything is a big deal. Anyway in October we found out that mom's toe, more specifically the bone in her big toe was infected. She needed to have surgery and then six weeks of daily infusions. The surgery went well, they only had to remove a portion of the bone in her toe. Then on November 1, 2013 we started infusion care in our town. We were both dreading it more than anything, (1) because we would have to sit for three hours straight and (2) it meant sitting in a hospital type facility. Who wants to do that?

Anyway before I continue to ramble for hours...we met some of the most amazing women. All of the nurses were just fabulous. We built friendships that will last a life time. Emily is one of my moms nurses. She and I connected and have became friends. I am so grateful for Emily and the other nurses. Emily is a such a joyful lady and she was definitely called to be a nurse. I enjoyed meeting her boys and her fiance'. Enjoy their preview

Photography 101 Workshop

I must say I am so excited. Bobbi Janell Photography will be offering workshops in 2014.

Our workshops will be geared towards Moms and Dads who want to learn more about their camera and taking better pictures of their children.  We will also be doing another Shutter Kidz Summer Camp Program. Each participant is required to have digital SLR camera. My recommendation as far as an DSLR is one of the following:

Canon EOS T3 $350-$400 (on amazon), I also would recommend that you have a 50 mm lens, but do not require it. You do not need to buy a new camera for this work shop as long as you have a digital SLR camera. There are a lot of really inexpensive dslr's that are wonderful. My recommendation is that you get at least an 12 mega pixel camera. 

Here are the dates:

Adults:
Photography 101 Part 1: Registration starts November 1, 2013
Here we will explore exposure, composition, posing and general information about your camera.
March 29th-30th: Location Alison Woods, Statesville NC. Sat 9:00 am to 4:00 pm and Sunday 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm. The cost is $125 and will include lunch, drinks and snacks plus your materials and an actual  photo shoot on Sunday. The non-refundable retainer ($50) is due at time of sign-up and the balance is due March 26th

Photography 101 Part 2: Registration starts May 1, 2013
Here we will explore 'M' or manual mode. Many people fear and dread the 'M' but if you learn from the beginning or at least soon after getting your camera you will be fine. Remember its harder to break old habits than it is to learn the right way first. We will hold our workshop on July 19th-20th, in Statesville, NC. The cost is $125 and will include lunch, drinks and snacks plus your materials and an actual  photo shoot on Sunday. The non-refundable retainer ($50) is due at time of sign-up and the balance is due June 27th



Kids:
We will hold two, 1 week long sessions. Each day will begin at 7:30 a.m. and end at 5:30 p.m. Fro ages 13-16
                       Dates: Session 1 June 16th-20th and Session 2 July 14th-18th
Week 1 we will explore our cameras, learn to handle and store them properly. We will also learn about focus, exposure and composition. The cost is $125 per child. The cost includes 2-snacks per day, drinks and materials. Registration is due no later than May 1st, a deposit of $25. The remaining balance is due on June 1st.

Before we say, "I Do'

Amanda is one of my best friends. I love her like a sister. She's getting married this coming February and I have the honor of being her photographer.

Thankfully Amanda is adventurous! And willing to let me do pretty much whatever I want when it comes to being creative! Hehe!

Over the weekend, Amanda, Carri (Maid of Honor), Teresa (mother of the bride), James (Groom), Brad (bother), Sam (Brad's girl friend) & Casey (my hubby) got together for a splatter session. It was so much fun and I hope to do more of these. (If you want to add them to your session; it is $35)!
