CJL Photography

Every Friday morning at 6am, I make my way to BNI Catalyst, held at the Springlake Hotel in Springfield Lakes. Arriving by 6:30am gives me the opportunity to connect with fellow local business owners, build relationships, and deepen trust before our meeting officially begins at 7:00am.
Being part of BNI has given me more than just networking opportunities, it has allowed me to genuinely get to know the businesses and people behind them. Through these connections, I’ve been able to support fellow members by using their services and confidently referring them to others, knowing the quality and integrity they bring to their work.
Within the chapter, I also take on the role of Webmaster and capture key moments of our meetings. This includes photographing milestone achievements, celebrating member successes, and documenting our education sessions, where valuable knowledge is shared to help us grow both within BNI and in our individual business journeys.
Since joining just under a year ago, it has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Not only have I seen personal growth and development, but I’ve also had the opportunity to be part of and promote some amazing community and business events through CJL Photography. These include:

Springfield City Seeds Fundraising Dinner
Springfield Mo-Men Events
Goodna Jacaranda Festival
BNI Southwest and Toowoomba Awards Night

These experiences have been fantastic opportunities to help businesses and organisations showcase and promote their events through professional photography.
I’m looking forward to renewing my membership this year and continuing to support more people by capturing, promoting, and sharing their stories and events.

At CJL Photography, it’s about more than just capturing great images, it’s about supporting the community that makes those moments meaningful.
I’m proud to be involved with incredible local initiatives like:
💙 Springfield Mo-Men
🌱 Springfield City Seeds
🎀 Mater Springfield Chicks in Pink
🖤 West Moreton Men’s Health
Along with many other community and health-focused events.
When you book CJL Photography, you’re not just getting quality coverage, you’re also helping me continue supporting and giving back to these important causes.
📩 If you’ve got an upcoming event, fundraiser, or initiative, let’s work together and make an impact.

Subbing for Jase Pashley from Customised travel management.

Since 2022, I’ve had the privilege of supporting Westside Community Care by capturing their annual Springfield City Seeds Dinner. It’s always a fantastic night, full of connection, generosity, and community spirit and a great opportunity to create images that show how people come together to support those in need.
Through my work, I get to see firsthand the impact Westside Community Care has on individuals and families who are doing it tough, whether they’ve been dealt a hard blow, are facing challenging circumstances, or simply need a helping hand. From the City Seeds Dinner to events like the Back-to-School Shopping Spree, it’s inspiring to document the meaningful support they provide across so many initiatives.
I’m proud to play a small part in helping share their story and the incredible work they do for our community.
Show your support and book your ticket to be part of an evening that truly makes a difference.
