Being 3 is hard work...

It is such an honor to photograph Elayna! This is the third birthday I've been blessed to capture. I love this child. She is so very smart and so much fun to hang out with.

Host a Portrait Party!

We've all been invited, hosted and probably attended parties such as Thirty-One, Scentsy, Tupperware and so on. Why not throw a Portrait Party! You could enjoy a free session for yourself.

Here's the deal:
Just like any other party you would host, you invite friends and family. I'll come set up and do a small presentation. Nothing elaborate and I am not trying to sale more than the $65 package. We may play a game or two, but it will be nothing but fun!

For a limited time the Host not only gets a free session, but also will receive a free 20x24 of your choice from your session. Also for every $20 spent on prints, you will receive $5 towards your own print order.


Once everyone has had a chance to meet me, see the products we offer and so on we'll set up dates and times for their sessions and be on our way!

To book your party call (980)223-8130 or you can call/text (704)500-5388 or email:

Joyfully,

Beautiful Country Bride!

Nearly five years ago, I met a girl! Actually I interviewed her for an assistant position at the After School program I was running. Little did I know then that God would bless my life with a new best friend, but more than that we've became sisters not only in Christ but also in life. Rarely do we go more than a day or two without talking!

A year and a half ago James asked Amanda to his bride,   I was honored when they asked me to  engagement pictures: This image was taken nearly a year ago, before I changed my name from A Joyful Hand Photography to Bobbi Janell Photography. And before I finally figured out my editing style! A lot has changed in a year :)

Anyway, James and Amanda are now married and I can share her beautiful Bridals with you! I cannot wait to share their wedding as well! Let me just say we had a blast during her bridals. We spent the whole day driving around and doing pictures, but we started out getting her make-up just right and of course her hair! Sadly I didn't capture that, but I did on her wedding day! Ok, enjoy!

Our first location was a random barn near the Bride-to-be's home! Bless her mama for getting us permission to use it :) 

This was on the side of I-77 Northbound

Most of the remaining images were taken at Allison Woods! (My favorite place on earth)

Courageous!

Courageous is defined as possessing or characterized by courage, being brave! Truthfully there are so many courageous people out there, but none are as courageous as those who face cancer or terminal illnesses or the loss of a child. 

Those of you who know myself and my husband know that we work with youth at our church. One of our youth's brother, Landon was diagnosed with  Leukemia. This hit all of us like a ton of bricks. I have never seen anyone as brave, courageous, and so full of life, never giving up! Sadly Leukemia took Landon's life. Landon was only 12!

At one of the benefits for Landon, I was introduced to Heather and Bryson, from Bryson's Fuel! Please click the link and visit their website and see what wonderful things they are doing to help families who suffer from childhood cancer. AMAZING!!!!

Now I know I need to stop rambling and explain what exactly the COURAGEOUS program is. I've always felt so blessed with this gift called Photography, that I know only God could have given me the ability to do. With that being said, I want to pay it forward, give back, so my love and support through my business. Having cancer, or other illnesses is costly and often the family cannot afford to have family portraits! We want every family to have memories that will last a life time.
