School Photos That Rock Event

September 8th 2012   10AM - 7 PM

Friday and Saturday are also available

Just because they take them at school doesn't mean you have to buy them from school.  The schools have contracted photographers that come to their school and take 2 seconds with your child.  They average 30 kids in ten minutes.  How can that possibly ensure you have a good photograph of your child?  We are going to take three poses of your child.  One will be the traditional head shot, one will be a sitting on the ground and will be full body, and the other will be them standing and will be a 3/4 shot.  We will do this in 15 minute sessions.  This gives us the time to ensure that we get a good look and smile.  After we finish the images we will preview them prior to any processing.  Then you will decide if you want just one pose or two, or three. The choice is completely up to you.  Our pricing structure for this event is inline with what you would expect to pay with the school photographer.  We do offer great discounts if you choose to order additional poses.    I also guarantee the quality and service will be better!  If you are not happy with any of your images we will re-shoot them!  We are requesting you contact us either by phone or email to reserve the time you would like to attend.  We don't want our customers to wait in lines or feel like they are being herded in and out of their session.  Check out the event and call us with the times that work best for you.  We look forward to seeing you! 

     

I love Photo Stations.  We provided one for the wedding of Tonya and Steve Beccard.  They and their guest were a lot of fun.  Photo Booths and Photo Stations are very popular for weddings and events.  We provide the props and the photographer (ME).  I also shoot tethered to my laptop so you can preview the images right after they are taken.  We provide a disc to the bride and groom, and the guests can go to our shootproof account and can download low res images for no charge.  We only charge $150 an hour so we can be affordable to everyone.  Photo Booths are much higher priced and you can usually only fit a few people in them.  Our service does not have walls to confine you, so you can fit large groups in the area also.

Introducing "Beautiful You" by J and B Photography

I have been working on this line for quite some time now.  Lots of things had to come together to put it all together.  I found 2 amazing ladies to help me in this venture.  The first is Joy Sakolsky of Via Mia Spa.  She does amazing make up and skin care.  The second is Meghann.  She does a wonderful job styling hair and is an absolute riot.  

Why "Beautiful You"?  I love taking beautiful pictures.  But all of us photographers love to that.  This adventure all started when I was watching some videos and came across some by Sue Bryce.  What an inspiration she is.   The following quote on CreateLive was what struck the cord for me. 

“I don’t want to photograph anybody famous, I want to photograph Sandra from Canada and Amanda from Florida…I want to photograph any woman in the world who’s ever looked in the mirror and not felt good about herself at any time in her life. I want to photograph her every year through the changes of her teenage life, through her 20s, through her 30s, through her 40s, through her 50s, and as she flowers into her most beautiful-ness. I want to photograph her every year of her life to watch and celebrate the changes of who she is and what she is, so she can experience how she looks to other people”.  Sue Bryce 

I am that women.  I think that is why I prefer being behind the camera.  That will change very soon.  I want women to feel fabulous about themselves.  You are Beautiful. You deserve to take a few hours to pamper yourself, relax, and feel like a million dollars.  That is what I want to do.  I want to help women's self esteem one click at a time.  That is how "Beautiful You" was born.  One inspirational women and my crazy desire to help my fellow women.  

Women lead busy lives, and this is also an excuse we use to not pamper ourselves.  There is also a child's game or practice to attend, work, dinner needs to be made, laundry, dishes, etc, etc.   When was the last time you had profession portraits taken of just You?  Senior Year?  Your Wedding day?  You deserve 3 hours!  In those three hours you will be pampered with hair and make-up.  Your only worry during that time should be - What should I have to drink?  After your make over time, I will spend 2-3 hours with you creating fabulous portraits for you.  You are beautiful - I can see it, and I can capture all of your wonderfulness!  So no more excuses!  Call me to book your session.  

Here are a couple of images from my last session.  These women are just like you and me.  One is a mom of 2, is employed full-time, a wife, and is also going to school.  The other fabulous women is a mother of three, a grandmother several times over, employed full time, and just turned 60!  She is an amazing women.  I included a before picture also because I wanted you to see that these are "real" women.
