  • Welcome to jo.co.fotographie: The new Tami Johnson Photography

    Thanks for stopping by. We are Stephen and Tami Johnson, the husband and wife photography team behind jo.co. fotographie. At the risk of showing our age, we are most definitely the Paula Abdul song "Opposites Attract". Stephen is very outgoing and fun to be around. His photography style is very dramatic. He absolutely loves dramatic lighting in photos. Tami is very reserved and loves bright naturally lit photos. Together we make the perfect photography team. Take a look around the site and then give us a call. We look forward to photographing you.

Rockin’ the Shot

We had the pleasure of hanging out with some pretty amazing photographers for a “rock and roll” themed wedding shoot this weekend. We all met up at the awesome Cotton Ginnovations in Sumrall, MS and I must say the space was perfect for this funky shoot. The bride totally rocked out the dress from Forrest Paper and Bridal Company while the rest of the models completely fit the theme. The flowers provided by Blooms in Hattiesburg, MS where the perfect addition. We had such a great time and look forward to the next time!

Nice! I love how you all got such different images that totally reflect each of your styles. Hate I couldn’t be there to meet you all.

Love them!!!! Hate I had to skip out, looks like ya’ll had lots of fun!

Nothing but Business

The other day Tami and I had the opportunity to hang out with one of Jackson’s most eligible bachelors. Our inspiration for the shoot was a mix of Saturday Night Live and GQ Fasion meets 50 Cents. Although the pictures are more on the serious side, the behind scenes were full of fun and laughter! We had a blast hanging out and I hope you like the sneaks.

These are awesome!

Time Flies…

The other day I had the opportunity to hang out with a family that I have known for a long time.  I started off with their maternity pictures, then newborns and now we are at Jordan’s two year mark.  Wow, how time flies!  It was a blast haning out with your family and I hope you like the sneaks.

So cute!! She is looks like she has such a fun personality!

Baby love…

We don’t get very many opportunites to love on “fresh” babies any more since we mainly book weddings and engagements, but this little cutie has been on the calendar for a while now and we were so excited to finally meet her! She was such an angel the whole time we were there. I am pretty sure she only wimpered once. I love all the photos we were able to get! Congratulations again, guys, on your beautiful baby girl! We had so much fun hanging out with the three of you and hope you are getting some much needed rest!






Happy New Year

As we enter into the new year, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the previous one. First off, we had some of the most awesome brides this year. There were a total of three military weddings, two of the grooms I know are still over seas as you and I celebrate the New Year. We wish them a safe and speedy return and thank them for their service to our country. 2011 marked several changes for us; our family saw the addition of a new little baby boy named Isaac in late summer. Life has certainly been more fun since he came arround! We also decided to change our name from Tami Johnson Photography to JoCo Foto to better fit the direction of the business. The name change was discussed for over a year before we finally decided on a name. Possible options that we considered were Stephen and Tami, Blu Door, Fresh Fotos, He & She, You & Me, Stami (I love this one, one of our good friend’s son combined our names one day) and several others. This year marked the first year we had second shooters with us. While Tami was towards the end of her pregnancy, she was unable to keep up with the fast pace of weddings. A big thanks to April and Paul Russell and Rachel Kabukala for helping us out. This year was a great one and we are excited to serve our upcoming brides in the new year. We wish everyone a safe and Happy New Year!

Also, this year will be our first year to be in the Premier Bridal show January 8th, be sure to go and check us out.

No post can go without pictures, so here are a couple of pics of Tami and I doing our thing as well as some of our favorites of the year.

Finally, These were not brides but Adam and Alli are good friends of ours and really awesome photographers as well. His picture is one of my greatest creative lighting works to date.
