Callie Ann: Photographic Witness to Life

   Purpose…its one of those evasive pursuits that teases us and taunts us toward all kinds of actions, investments, and never-ending searches on Google, college degree lists, and discussions with friends. We seek to find what it is in life we were meant to do. We try tangible work, service, chasing money, achieving a professional dream. Most often people settle into a less than fulfilled line of work to pay bills, knowing that they have compromised their happiness.
   Not so with Callie.
    Callie studied Fine Arts at Indiana State University. But that is not where she found her passion. Callie happened upon passion; she discovered her purpose while in search of a relatively useful camera at Best Buy about four years ago. While there, looking for a practical camera to begin a business in photography, Callie discovered her dream, her purpose, and made the investment in a rather more professional version of a camera. Turns out it was a wise choice.
   Callie has developed from a hobbyist at photography into a talented and accomplished professional.
   While she can be engaged to photograph many things from antique cars to birthday parties, and the usual events that one would wish to record for posterity, Callie makes it clear that her favorite subject is life. It is the celebration of life. Callie is a witness to the blossoming of life into unbounded purpose and potential.
   We begin with maternity photography: Life becomes not only obvious but expectant as pregnant women approach delivery date. This quality of expectancy becomes a precious moment to capture. Callie loves to pose and capture such moments, not only as a memory or a record of a moment; Callie brings witness to the potential of life as she focuses and snaps. This moment becomes more than a memory. This moment becomes a living impression of love to be framed and cherished upon walls and desktops and tables.
    Callie loves taking newborn pictures. I am a sucker for babies. Each baby is uniquely beautiful and inspiring in their small movements, their small voices and their very large impressions they make on us. With a newborn, it soon becomes obvious, they don’t belong to us, we belong to them. Callie captures that belonging. She brings position and light to bear upon that newborn in a flattering and
  compelling vision and snaps that vision into a heart-warming sigh every time you revisit that picture.
    And of course, Callie loves photographing children. The continuity of life. From pregnancy to newborn to children running and playing. Callie is witness to the full potential that life brings forth. She captures the giggles, the jumps, the ever active moment of childhood.


   Yes, our children are children for such a short period. They laugh and play briefly and then run on to other things in life.
   It is fortunate for you that Callie discovered her purpose, her passion at a Best Buy store while looking for a camera.
    Callie has a “clients first” philosophy toward her art and work. She wants to make sure you are happy with your purchase.
Callie offers witness to life to be framed and cherished upon your walls for years to come.
