Photo of the Month Winning Images – 2025

Join us for our January 6 Brentwood Photography Group meeting, a lively and inspiring evening that sets the tone for the year ahead. Whether you’re a long-time member or considering your first visit, this meeting offers a great snapshot of what BPG is all about – learning, creativity, and community.

We’ll begin by celebrating one of the highlights of the year with our Photo of the Year, featuring Leandra Habel’s striking “Chattanooga Choo Choo” image – a wonderful example of the talent within our group.

Next, we’ll share several key updates to help everyone stay connected and informed:

  • An overview of upcoming programs, including guest speakers and Zoom mini-clinics

  • Lunch Bunch updates for those who enjoy learning in a more relaxed setting

  • Planned outings, with locations and ideas designed to get us out shooting together

  • A look ahead at Photo of the Month, including categories and themes for the coming year

Following the updates, we’ll break for Photo of the Month (POTM), where members can enjoy viewing images, voting, and catching up with friends – one of the most social and enjoyable parts of our meetings.

To close the evening, our board members will each share one favorite image from the past year. This is always a standout segment, offering insight, inspiration, and a chance to see the personal work that excites the people helping guide BPG forward.

If you’ve been thinking about attending a BPG meeting, this is an excellent one to start with. We look forward to welcoming you and kicking off the new year together.
