THE BIG PICTURE Project

THE BIG PICTURE is my current project. The idea started as a way to give back to my local community, beginning with high school seniors in my area. For those of you who do not personally know me, I taught and coached students for 7 years. My love and passion has always been for children. As a high school English teacher, I often witnessed the struggles students experienced. It always amazed me what a child would say through their personal writings. Many had impossible challenges and turmoil at home, which most only witness on television. 

After running my idea by a few close friends and family, I decided to branch out. So many families  overcome circumstances most can never imagine. While waiting at a restaurant the other day, I overheard two people talking. One told the other, “Please, see the big picture in all of this.” A bell went off, and I decided to name my project THE BIG PICTURE.

A purpose and plan prevails for each one of us. Some of us are blessed with health, some with financial assets, and others with amazing talents. Whatever plan God has chosen for you, it is wonderfully and perfectly made by Him.

THE BIG PICTURE PROJECT features people and families undergoing unimaginable circumstances. But through their challenges, they still manage to see “the big picture.”

If you know of a deserving individual or family who has overcome the odds and wants to share their story in hopes of inspiring others, please nominate them to be the recipient of THE BIG PICTURE Project. Three individuals/families will be chosen each year to receive a photo session and pictures to capture their unique story. My hope is that we can all learn from their ability to persevere and be inspired by the stories they share. 



***If you would like to become a part of THE BIG PICTURE Project and donate your time, services, or assets, please contact Brandi at BrandiPotterPhotography@yahoo.com. My goal is to involve as many people as possible in this project.

"If you want to know how much I love you, count the waves..."

I love these two oh so much! My mom and dad have given everything they physically and emotionally could to make sure that my sister and I grew up with a strong sense of family and love. They are now passing that on to their granddaughter and they continue to be an example to my own family. When I look at these pictures I am reminded of their strong will, enduring love for one another, and a symbol of what life-long partnership is.

I hope you enjoy looking at these as much as I do. To many more memories....

PART TWO: Brynli is one

My baby turned one a couple of weeks ago and I am just now finishing up her 1st birthday shoot. I kept thinking I would be able to get some pictures of her with her tongue IN HER MOUTH! She cooperated on a couple :)  I guess I should like all the ones with her tongue hanging out since she keeps it that way 90% of the day. 

I hope this year brings so many more fun and exciting times. You are special! Be you always...even if that means keeping your tongue out of your mouth!

This beautiful lady is so much fun! She is one of the best teachers...of many different things...that I have ever come across. Her classroom is awesome and fantastic. It kind of makes me want to be a student again. Ok, not really but she really is a superstar teacher!!


She is so photogenic! I loved working with her. Thank you, JJ, for letting me take your picture.

Fall Mini Sessions

I absolutely love the fall! And I am sure that many, if not every one of you, is ready for some cooler weather. I am over this Texas heat. 

I am offering a mini session on Saturday, October 8. Pictures will be taken in the Fort Worth area. The price includes up to 4 people. If you want additional people included, there will be a $15 fee per person. You may purchase additional prints at regular pricing. Pricing can be found at www.brandipotterphotography.blogspot.com under the "Investments" tab. 

Please email me at brandipotterphotography@yahoo.com to book your session! Only 6 evening spots are available. 





How does a mini session differ from a full session?
Our regular photo sessions are sixty to ninety minutes in length and at the location of your choice. Mini sessions are conducted at a specific location and are thirty minutes in length.









Justin + Robin {and the dogs}

I had so much fun with these newlyweds. They were married in May and had an engagement session and tons of wedding photographs taken. After everything settled down, they realized they had no pictures with their babes, the dogs. What is a couple to do?! Take more pictures, of course!!! Justin is such a good sport.



                                      

Happy 1st Birthday!!

This has been a very special year for my family! This past Saturday, we celebrated Brynli Tyler's first birthday. We had so much fun celebrating with her. I love watching her grow and reach milestones. Each day is special! Brynli is such a fun, energetic, sweet, beautiful, loving child. These pictures really capture who she is!
