I love when I receive my prints back from the printer!  It feels like the best GIFT ever.  I smile the entire time that I am adding photos to individual photo envelopes.  I take pride in my work -  from the sessions, to the editing, to the proofing, to the ordering, to the packaging, to the delivery!  

It is always my hope that the recipients smile when they open their packages and that they will cherish their photographs for years and years to come!

Baby Session | johnna brooke photography | Portland, Maine

10/11/2013

0 Comments

 
Once again, I was able to live vicariously through one of my clients.  Oh, how I miss having itty bitty ones around the house.  The best years of my life was taking care of babies!  I miss it so!  

This beautiful little girl was as sweet as can be and her big brother was such a wonderful helper!  I had so much fun just hanging with this family for the afternoon.  Dad showed up after work right at the end of our session and I was able to snap a couple of photos (he protested….just a little) of the entire family together!  

Taking photos of families and little ones is my absolute favorite thing to do.  I love looking back on my very own personal photographs when my boys were little and it is my hopes that the families that I photograph will treasure their documented afternoons for many years to come!

Common Ground Fair - Unity, Maine | Maine Photographer 

9/27/2013

Hello All!  It has been a very busy week for me.  Where do I begin?  Let's see:  10 soccer practices, 6 soccer games, 2 academic open houses, work, grocery shopping, house cleaning,  2 photo sessions, tons of breakfast and dinners and should I dare mention -  wrestling matches between my three boys!  

We are all crazy busy!  I get it!  But I wanted to remind all of you to get out to your local farmer's market for some wonderful end of summer, start of fall vegetables!  

This past week, I had the pleasure of doing some freelance photography work for a company that was an exhibitor at the Common Ground Fair in Unity, Maine!  It was fantastic.  Sweet Annie and Patchouli field the air and the beautiful colors of the Farmer's Market can't even be described!  I loved every single minute of my work.  I left the fair with tons of veggies and, of course, a huge bunch of Sweet Annie!  I hope to make it back to Unity every single year to get my fill!  The Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association knows how to put on a fair!  If you have never been before, put it on your calendar for next year!  AMAZING!

Below are some photos that I snapped in between exhibitions, lectures and product demonstrations!  Oh, how I wish you guys could smell all the wonderful fair scents.  It is a feast for the senses for sure!  

As I type, my husband is with my three little boys at the Cumberland County Fair!  I hope they bring me home some fresh Maine Goods!

Stay tuned for more previews!

Family Session |  johnna brooke photography | Maine Photography

9/5/2013

This beautiful family purchased my donated Session Package at the Ted Hellier Fundraiser event last winter.  It gave me great pleasure to photograph them knowing that they did their part in helping a fellow friend!

I always have so much fun with families, especially, families with dogs!  Check out how we just let their family friend do as she pleased.  Some of my favorite shots were the candid shots that the pup just happened to appear!  Dogs are very much like little kids; they can't be forced to sit still and the best shots are always the candids!  Give them time, they always come around.  The first photo makes me laugh!  It is like she was channeling Balto!  

Enjoy this very small preview!

Just so you know, I was not let in on the secret until the last 10 minutes of our session, when the "Mama" pulled out a shirt and changed her little boy, set him down and I was all like…..STOP IT!  Tears, people.  Tears!  I really loved being part of such a special moment!  I feel honored to have been in on their little secret and I feel even more honored that they have allowed me to finally share with all my readers and followers their BIG SURPRISE!  


I love you guys and can't wait to celebrate MORE special events with you!

Let's talk relationships.  I have photographed this family many times:  wedding, maternity, newborn and now 1 year old family photos.  I love my relationships with my clients.  

This little boy is the cutest thing EVER.  He is so happy and so very handsome.  I loved that this family picked the waterfront in Portland, Maine for their family session.  But what I love the most is that this Mom and Dad let their 1 year old just BE!  They let him down, they let him crawl, they did not hover and they had fun.  Relaxed Parents - love them so much.  

I can't wait for birthday #2!  You guys will always hold a very special place in my heart!  Thanks for the awesome photo shoot!

I have been photographing this family for YEARS and every time I photograph them I have a great time.  They are all so full of personality and I love the dynamic of all of them together.  Here are some single head shots that I captured of each of them!  The oldest daughter could not make it so I am saving a group shot for a later blog post!  Check out their personalities….they ROCK.

It Has Been Awhile | Personal | johnna brooke photography

It has been awhile since I have captured my children how I really see them.  All three of them together, laughing and cutting up with one another.  Sure they fight, sure they drive me nuts, sure they are messy little boys but I would not have it any other way.  When I capture photos like these all the nonsense and chaos of our lives leave and I am left with memories of all of our beautiful fleeting moments together. 

I love when I snap a photo that truly reflects reality.  My reality?  -  These happy, crazy, wild, funny, precious boys.  They give me so very much joy!  I feel blessed.

I am gearing up for a couple of photo shoots this week and it is my hope that I capture my clients very own realities!  I promise to give a preview; stay tuned.

Last week was a transition week for me.  In between wrapping up my old job and starting my new job, I had some time to snap a couple of personal photos!  Of course we were at our two favorite places in the world…1) Peaks Island 2) Any Lacrosse Field.  This is where my love of photography began; documenting my children! 

Enjoy.

I am Back! | Portland, Maine Photographer | Small Business Guru | I Have Something to SAY!

It has been a long time since I have sat down and blogged about my business, or personal life for that matter.  Well, you see, I took a year off to try on the corporate hat for the 2nd time.  Although I enjoyed the last year immensely, I am really looking forward to getting Johnna Brooke back up and running.  I know that I have let a lot of my past clients down during the past year — but hope that you will let me make it up to you. With my new flexible "real" job I will now have a better work/life balance and plan on doing what I love:  spending more time with my family, helping out small businesses with all their branding and web presence needs and creating and documenting memories for old and new clients!

I have lots to say and hope to be able to integrate both my personal and professional life into one seamless enjoyable blog!  You want to talk Mommy Wars?  I have opinions…from both sides.  Want to talk business?  I can do that, too!  In fact, with my past year experience of working for an upscale retailer, I have a lot to say about building brand loyalty.  Want to talk about social media marketing?  Follow me, I am ready to swing the bat and shoot for the fence!

Just to get you excited about what is to come, check out some work that I did this past year while juggling 3 very wild and busy little boys and one extremely time consuming traveling J-O-B!  Oh and I did keep my toilets clean!  Ok, they were only clean when I knew I was having visitors!

Enjoy your preview of what's to come…….
