For over 40 years, I've had the privilege of capturing love stories as a wedding photographer for all FABBO couples from coast to coast. Along the way, I've met some of the most talented and hard-working business owners, many of whom I'm proud to call friends.
Working alongside them, the conversations we shared often turned to burnout, frustration, and imposter syndrome. As a result, many felt their passion and purpose were gone.
Your business should reflect who you are, so stop thinking about what others are doing and start doing what's right for you. The first step to a better business is a better you. The industry is highly competitive, and there are more wedding pros than ever vying for a couple's attention. To compete and connect with like-minded couples, you need to share your story and show up everywhere as your authentic self. Clients don't just invest in business owners because they are qualified; they book them because of their passion and why they do it.
Those conversations led me here, where my mission is to help you build a personally fulfilling AND financially successful business. When it comes down to it, if you are doing what you love, you should be able to make money and a difference.

Hey Creatives, I''m Bobbi!
I’m also a Storytelling Destination Wedding Photographer, & Diet Mountain Dew Addict.
Most wedding pros I talk to tell me it’s been a while.
It has nothing to do with their couples or fellow vendors, but the business side of things can get overwhelming and fast.
After 40 years as a wedding photographer, there have been several times I just wasn’t all that excited about heading off to a wedding.
Once I got to the actual wedding though, most of the overwhelm faded away. Why? Because I knew I was fulfilling my purpose — as the days historian, documenting a chapter of someone’s life that will be shared for many generations. Capturing the privilege we have to love others and be loved, it's an honor in never take for granted.
Reconnecting to my purpose continues to help me drown out the noise and create a profitable wedding career that brings me joy. Even after 40 years.
Do you remember the last time you were excited about your work?
Your purpose is what will attract your dream clients, and guide you to create the wedding career you want.
Not what someone else wants...
Regardless of gender, size, faith, or color, you have the opportunity to make your clients feel respected and blown away with your service. So your wedding career really comes down to one thing...YOU!
YOU are what your clients are investing in. It’s YOU that will set yourself apart from the competition.
Serving the clients who allow you to share your gift with them, that is how you build a sustainable career — by consistently showing up, doing the work, and letting the people who invest with you be your number one cheerleaders.
It’s more than ok to collect a purpose-driven paycheck, my friend. My goal is to help you go back to your why, get unstuck, and take the action YOU need to align with your purpose and grow a wedding career you are proud of one step at a time.
You deserve to make a difference and make a living, agreed?

So...what does FABBO mean anyway?
I use FABBO in one of two ways:
First, FABBO is kinda’ like aloha! A phrase that is meant to add joy, bring cheer, and extend kindness in every situation. For example:
Just booked a dream client? Got over a business hump today? FABBO!
But being FABBO means using your special purpose and gift to serve others. Having confidence. Believing you can make an impact in your biz, in your life, and knowing the world (and our industry) needs you just as you are.
My goal is to help you embrace what makes you FABBO so you can show up as your authentic self and create the wedding career you love!
In case you haven't noticed, FABBO is a pretty big deal around here, and I want you to be part of it!
Truth is, you’re already FABBO!
