I will be better in 2009!

OK, so I got really into posting on my OTHER blog, what with the election and all that this year, and neglected the photo blog a bit. Don't worry, I'm still snapping away, just have not been very good with posting pics!

New Year's resolution-post more photos to the blog in 2009! I will try and post some recent photos this week.

Also, in about 48-72 hours this blog will be synced up with my main website, mattiecallahan.com, and you can check the blog from that page as well.

Technology! Happy New Year!

Catching up!

Oktoberfest

Baby Erica Jean

Cute Babies!

Mason is 1....and covered in cake and icing! As it should be...
And here are some of Luke and his family-my second time to photograph them. Doesn't he look so relaxed hanging out in his chair?

Cousins Ariel and Brooke

WELCOME TO THE WORLD, BROOKE! Born July 10th. 7lbs 11oz. just like cousin Ariel was in December!

Speaking of cousin Ariel, look how big she is now!

We must have done something really funny for this kind of joy-this must have been when her mommy was bopping me in the head with a pillow. :)

YUM YUM for the TUM TUM!

Sweet Mason

Congrats!

A few shots from my friend Vanessa's wedding...I was not the photographer but of course had my camera! My mom and I DID end up being the florists as hers backed out at the last minute! I think it turned out to be lovely! Despite all the last minute snafus Vanessa and Jeremy had a lovely wedding and are enjoying their honeymoon as we speak!

Dreams...

Old Photos but totally representative of the images in my head right now! I want to hear the ocean!

Engagement Photos

I had the honor of photographing my good friend Vanessa and her fiance Jeremy before their upcoming wedding. Here are a couple of my favorite shots!

Union University Tornado Damage

Girl's dorm being rebuilt
McAfee Dorms

Bookstore/Hammons Hall

Back of the Student Union Building-Cafeteria

I was passing through Jackson, TN last weekend and stopped at my Alma Mater, Union University which was hit by a tornado in February and sustained about $40 Million in Damage, mostly to the dorms. They have a lot blocked off so I could not get close to where my old dorm used to be, but I did get a few shots of the rebuilding process.

More Birthday bash

More Restless Heart...Greg Jennings on guitar, Paul Gregg on bass, Dave Innis on keyboard

Randy Owen "of the Legendary Supergroup Alabama" (as they always promoted it on the radio)

American Idol's Bucky Covington-he was entertaining-totally worked the stage-the Pro to that being he often came close so I could get a good shot-I even have a couple where he is looking right at me-the Con being that he moves FAST!!!!! So a lot of my shots were blurry because he was running all over the place!

Not sure why these are so much smaller. Still trying to learn this blog thing!

103.3 Birthday Bash Photos

The great Trisha Yearwood!

Greg Jennings and Larry Stewart of Restless Heart

New group Trailer Choir

So my mom and I were lucky enough to be on the front row for the 103.3 Birthday Bash featuring Restless Heart and Randy Owen...and special guest Trisha Yearwood! We were also next to the speaker so I have permanently damaged my hearing but it was all worth it! Here are a couple of my favorite shots! More to come....
