Photo Project: Inside the Frame

I've wanted to participate in a photo project for awhile and haven't had the right opportunity. So when my friend GiGi at work told me about a photo/blog/project a friend of hers was doing, I knew I had to try it! Every week there is a different "theme." This week is SWIRLS....so I have attached for you my interpretation of swirls....the swirls of hair on a baby's precious head, swirls of roses in a bride's bouquet, swirls of blown glass from the Chihuly at Cheekwood exhibit, iron swirls from my coffee table, and my precious pup's swirly tail.

I believe next week's theme is fresh...and you can participate too! If this sounds like fun to you, head on over to the blog and link your photos up.

So Many Babies!

Meet three sisters, who all had babies within a few weeks of each other! What a special time to capture the whole family.

Sweet Baby L

Here is sweet baby L. He was a doll during our session, what a cutie!

BAD BLOGGER!

Ok, I've had several folks ask if I've given up on the blog....no I haven't! Just been quite busy, and making some changes to my business. I have a new website! Please check out the new home for Mattie Callahan Photography on the web: www.mattiecallahan.zenfolio.com (for some reasons my attempts to link this are not working today). That's taken up quite a bit of my time. There are lots of new pics there, so go check it out! Another great feature is that I can once again host my own client viewing galleries, rather than send people to Pictage, which was a great service but I am really excited to have everything in once place again. Not only can I host my own galleries from my website again, but you can actually order prints, cards, announcements, and a whole host of cool photo gifts straight from your gallery, and there is no time limit like there was with Pictage!

So, in a good faith effort to try and resume blogging, here are some pics from a wedding I had the honor of "second-shooting" with my friend Anne from Olive Grove Photography. Heather was a gorgeous bride and she and Ryan are clearly so in love! The bride's mom was the officiant too-way cool. And, they rode off in a fancy old car, which was so pretty! Here are some of my favorite shots. You'll see why I had a hard time narrowing these down-these folks didn't take a bad picture all day.

Fall Session Sampler!

Busy Busy!

Late September/Early October is always the busiest time of year for photographing folks! I am so behind on editing! But I did want to pop onto the blog and share a couple of shots from Heather's recent Bridal Session-conducted just 5 days before her actual wedding AND we managed to choose one and get it blown up for display at the reception, even though I am not even done yet with editing all her pics! Here is the one we chose.




And a few of my other faves.

Erica Turns One!

Finished up Erica's baby series recently. Here are a couple from her one year shoot!
