CJ Expeditions?...That's a strange name for a portrait studio!
Well...yes...but let us explain. In order to understand our name, we need to take you back to the beginning...
The original goal of CJ Expeditions was to sell beautiful landscape photos. You see, we both enjoy being outdoors and both love to take pictures. Friends and family were impressed with our photos and convinced us to try selling them. We wanted our name to capture the sense of exploration and discovery of beautiful places that we felt was reflected in our photos. In 2004 we registered CJ Expeditions and began a new type of journey -- owning and operating our own business!
Since that time, we have expanded our services to include weddings and portraits. Although this type of work doesn't reflect travel, it is, in a way, still an expedition. Portraits reflect the individual and are a journey into each subject's personality and character. Wedding photos take you on a voyage through the emotion of that special day - excitement, anticipation, joy and love. When you think about it, nearly every photo has within it some type of journey. So...maybe CJ Expeditions isn't that strange of a name after all.
