TESTIMONIAL
" What an incredible As I Am photo shoot experience with Bobbi Jo Brooks Photography. My photos were stunning! I have never felt more empowering and beautiful! When I came in, I was scared. Anxiety was off the charts. I was a little embarrassed and shameful because of my body. But after my photoshoot, I feel exhilarated, I feel empowered, I feel strong, and I feel a confident woman in me. The photoshoot was amazing. - Jennifer N, Dalton, GA

Imagine giving yourself permission to live a life unhindered by self doubt
I want to do something different... to photograph people with OUT pro hair, makeup and fancy clothes. Not because I think those things are bad (they have their purpose and I love them), but because I was ready to meet people in a newer, more vulnerable place: as they are. Sometimes you want the full band, but sometimes you just want to do an acoustic set. Understand?
Hence why the portrait experience is entitled "As I Am a RAW Portrait Experience.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Beth's As i am story
"I hesitantly and finally decided on a photo project that was comfortable for me. It was Bobbi Jo’s “Just as I am” experience. You literally come to the studio, just like you are. For me, that’s no make up, hair pulled back and plain clothes.
Now, I wasn’t thrilled to be there but doing it with my daughter made me push through. I felt anxiety, shame and even a little terror before we got started, but after a quick talk with Bobbi Jo, I felt much more relaxed.
By the time we got into the studio, my anxiety level had decreased to manageable! I’ve never liked pictures of myself. But Bobbi Jo captured me in such a way that I really didn’t mind.
She allowed me to play, laugh, do things that made me comfortable and guided me carefully through the process. After years of headshots that I hated, I honestly was delighted by the results.
I didn’t feel fake or false, the experience was genuine and I came out loving myself more than ever.
Thank you Bobbi Jo for your special attention to capturing the magic of women in all facets of life. I’m coming back soon for my 40 Over 40 experience and I can’t wait."
Lea's As i am experience
"It is so hard to photograph me. For one thing it is hard for me to find pictures I love and want to share. I smile awkward, role my eyes at weird moments and never know what to do with my hands.
This time was different, I found 185 photos that I fell in love with instantly. None of these photos are edited, aside from a little cropping. No changes, no touch-ups. This is just me, as I am. The title of this photo shoot is perfect.
At the start, you write down words to describe how you feel and how you see yourself. One of the things I wrote was, "I hate my smile." When I’m in front of the camera, my smile feels awkward. At the beginning of the session, that awkwardness and my anxiety about being in front of the camera really showed. But as Bobbi Jo worked her magic through questions, storytelling, and humor, I began to relax. You can see that transformation in the pictures.
Many—well, most—of the photos I love are because they remind me of this experience. I can see in my eyes when we are talking about emotional things. When I look through them, I can recall the moments I was nervous and the moments I let go and simply enjoyed the process. After the session, Bobbi Jo has you take that same piece of paper and write how you feel now. One of the things I wrote was, "I love my laugh." Imagine, in such a short time, going from focusing on something you dislike about yourself to discovering what you love. This was nothing short of inspiring.
Amber's as i am expereince
Bobbi Jo is an absolute treasure! Her photography is art and her personality is genuine and down to earth. I was nervous before my photography session but she put me at ease and got some great shots too! She asked before we began what I hoped to gain from the session and she surpassed all expectations. Thank you Bobbi Jo for showing me myself in a new light and giving me precious memories I will treasure for life!

"UNOBTRUSIVE"
An SAT word my highschool teacher used to describe me to the whole class, "Stephanie is unobtrusive." Not easily noticed.
That one humiliating moment has stuck with me, always in the background telling me to keep myself small, to not attract attention to myself, and to not give myself attention either.
Lately, I've been learning to give myself the attention I deserve, to listen to and be more comfortable in my physical body, and to be more gentle with my soul along the way. So when Bobbi Jo asked me to come to her studio for an "As I Am" session, I thought it was a unique opportunity to explore my growth and test my comfort levels. I was excited to challenge myself and see what would come out of this raw, no-frills experience.
During our session, Bobbi Jo encouraged me to relax into the experience, to feel free, and to take up space. This was so important for me to feel safe, and I am thankful for her kindness, compassion, and encouragement throug
hout the session.
Looking through all the images was the most profound part: I saw both my insecurities coming forward as well as my innate spirit, the parts of me that have all too often been buried deep down for fear of being "too much" or taking up too much space. I was able to hold an appreciation for what each image brought out (joy, love, shame, freedom, uncertainty, confidence, etc.), and was able to be gentle with myself in ways I didn't expect. "There's a lot going on there", I remember saying about one image.
This experience allowed for my inner self to bubble up and meet my physical body, manifesting a sense of wholeness for my personhood. It showed me that I am worth noticing. That I am enough, just As I Am.
