Waiting for the Warmth of Summer

Here’s Bob, out for a bike ride on a cold, sunny day. He loves to get out in the beautiful Arkansas woods. This picture was made at a race in November.

Bob’s New Jet…

Well, it’s not exactly my jet, but it is my photograph of the jet created for my newest corporate client, West Cost Charter. This shoot was in sunny Tampa, Florida, so I am truly sorry if it was cold, or worse, icy where you are. Welcome to West Cost Charter, and everybody have a happy new year.

Pig Racing…

It might be difficult to see them with the speed of the pigs, but my kids are in the background on the right. We had a great time watching the superbowl of pig races… Oh yeah, and deciding on a Christmas tree.

Happy Holidays from the Black-Ockens

A crowning moment of tree decorating. It was also the day we went to a Christmas tree farm and watched pigs race. (Only in Arkansas.)

Let it Snow – Louisiana?!?

It has not snowed in Louisiana since the 1980s, but this morning we got to wake up to a white pre-Christmas in Baton Rouge. So beautiful!

Bob photographed my daughter’s wedding over 17 years ago. He was amazing then and still offers the same outstanding... work as he always has !! I never hesitated to have him take a formal portrait of my granddaughter in a family heirloom dress. As I expected, the final product was beautiful!! Thank you Bob for never disappointing ‼️read more

Bob Ocken is an amazing photographer. Within the first few minutes in to our conversation, I knew he would be my choice... for our family portrait. He did not disappoint. He spent time understanding what we had in mind, gently made suggestions he felt would help us achieve our goal for the session. On the day of the photo-shoot, he was very patient, took his time and did not rush us. The final result exceeded our expectations. Without hesitation, I recommend Bob for important family occasions and milestones. I will definitely be requesting him for future photo sessions.read more

Bob was great. We had to reschedule because of threat of rain but it worked out because we had a nice day when we... actually had our photos taken. Bob was willing to work with me and my ideas. We were taking some family photos and my sons 1 year old pics. He was patient, even when my son was starting to get fussy. He tried his best to get my son to smile, did fairly well, but a 1 year old is unpredictable. My only suggestion for the future is if you have a baby or toddler in your pics, bring someone to help make them smile so Bob can focus on taking the pics. Othereise, pics turned out great. Would recommend!read more

It's extremely likely that I'm one of the more particular/needy clients Bob has worked with. We initially had our... family photos scheduled for a Saturday evening, but there was rain in the forecast, and Bob was 100% accommodating with our preference to reschedule to the following morning. He met us at the location and I was instantaneously comfortable with him - he's personable and down to earth while still entirely professional. I didn't feel silly or awkward, which is something I typically struggle with when I know I'm on camera! Our photos included a 10 year-old, and Bob was equally successful in making him completely comfortable. Following our session, Bob got the photos to me via email within hours (like, within three hours from the time we left). I was able to look through the gallery and pick our favorite photos, and from there, Bob met every retouching request I made. I literally made THREE different "favorites" albums when attempting to narrow down the ones we liked best. Bob was patient, communicative, and informative throughout that process, as I didn't know exactly what I needed to do, how many photos to choose, what type of retouching requests were applicable, etc. When I finally created the third and final album for him to work from, it was only a matter of hours before he had the final products returned to me! We will continue going to Bob for all of our future photo sessions - I couldn't be happier!read more

Very professional and efficient. I'm not the most comfortable person to have in front of a camera but Bob put me at... ease and made the experience a fun one. My photos are for marketing my business and I am extremely pleased with the outcome.read more

Bob was the perfect fit as photographer of our wedding. He offered a full range of options, but worked with us to... provide only the services we wanted, including a ton of great posed and action photos edited and available at a website we could share with our family who were able to order pictures directly. The fact that he is a super nice guy was just an added bonus!read more

Bob is fantastic! He took wedding photos a decade ago that still adorn our home. Recently we re-engaged him for family... photos. These photos with our children are classic and beautiful. I expect them to be hanging in our home for many decades to come!read more

Bob did my daughter’s senior portraits and they were great. She tends to be nervous and challenging to get... comfortable for the camera, but he was able to capture some great shots of her true personality. We used a nature setting and he took tons of pictures and let her change outfits. Will treasure these memories.read more

Bob is great to work with, from start to finish! He is a professional, with a great resume, but very casual and easy... to work with. We appreciated his professionalism and great service, together with his warm and friendly attitude. Choose Ocken Photography and you'll be happy!read more

Bob was exceptional during our engagement photo shoot, and he made it incredibly fun. There was a 90% chance of rain... and he still captured us at our best! Of the photos he took of us during the span of about an hour, there were over 45 photos that are frame-worthy, AND he got them edited and posted online in less than 24 hours. We could NOT be happier with our choice for this engagement photographer, AND he provides the service at an incredibly reasonable cost. Let Bob take your photos - you will NOT regret the decision!read more

I’ve worked with Bob Ocken on multiple occasions to have professional photos taken for use in marketing and... promotional materials. The reason I keep coming back is because he does such a great job in every aspect of the project. He is easy to work with, helps the person(s) being photographed feel at ease, is creative in his shots, and makes the whole process amazingly easy. Best of all, he is incredibly reasonable in his pricing in light of the quality of his work. If you’re thinking of having photos taken (and you should be), you need to call Bob. He’s exactly what you’re looking for.read more

Mr. Ocken helped create everlasting memories for me, my husband, and our family and friends. He is a phenomenal... photographer and he captured moments I didn’t even notice him capturing. He communicated consistently and was very flexible. I’m so grateful for our fantastic wedding photos and Mr. Ocken!read more
