HI! I'M CATHY BLACKSTONE.

I am a Columbus based photographer and welcome to my blog.

I love to photograph babies in the tummy, babies out of the tummy, kids being good, kids being bad, kids with special needs, kids with fur, couples in love, families being themselves and seniors in between text messages :)

I have a fun and carefree style that I think you will be very comfortable with. Of course I love to take the classic picture where everyone is looking at the camera with a perfect smile but what I really love to catch is the real "in between" moments. The candid moments that you will cherish forever.

This is my photo blog where I will share favorite images from recent sessions and blab about my interests and family.

Thanks for visiting my site and taking a look. I really appreciate it. 

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS FAMILY | columbus, ohio family photographer

Okay, I’m going to tell you straight up - it was FREEZING this day. FREEZING. Like not funny at all freezing. And last year during this delightful family’s session it was raining. Like not funny at all raining. POURING. But it doesn’t matter with them. They laugh and sing and dance and make the most of it. Seriously. I will be taking shots and then all of a sudden they all burst out into these college like fight songs with lots of rahs rahs! It makes me smiley and giggly. And when you ask them what and where the songs are from they have no idea. They are a whirlwind and I leave wanting more.

The main reason I had another session with them this year is because of these two new preshish additions….. My husband and I had to go back and forth and back and forth to make sure these were two different boys, lol. Super serious. You can tell they are going to be super smart. Super not interested in me and super sick the next day…. but still super duper cute:)

Love the photo on the left - it’s my favorite…..img_9795-9842

This is my girl Wendi who organizes the whole thing. We go back to her 3rd kid and my 2nd - they were in the same preschool class together. The best part of this whole day for me personally was getting these shots of her whole family. I was so doing the happy dance. You see her husband no likey getting his picture taken. And Wendi values photography big time so this was a momentous. img_9919-9930

These are Wendi’s sisters. This is the 2nd time I have been around Carlos and Julie. They live in Mexico. I have known them for probably 30 minutes of my life and love them. Carlos is one of those people that is having a fiesta at all times. Talking, laughing, dancing, singing. Taking their picture is always so funny because Julie is asking if her right eye is open (don’t ask) and Carlos is asking rapidly if his cheeks look chubby  in between 50 other rapid fire comments and questions.

February 18, 2010 - 9:01 am Melanie DeBrosse - Cathy and Brad, you are the best! I have never had so much fun in the rain and freezing cold weather getting my picture taken. I guess I am now ready to be a model! Ha! Ha! Seriously, your pictures are amazing and capture what our family is all about by letting us be ourselves and having fun. I am so thrilled that we got pictures of the twins. Yes, it was cold but so worth it! I love the one of their heads together. Only a true artist can convey the closeness of these brothers! They are keeping me on my toes and I look forward to future photo shoots with you as the boys grow older. Hopefully, they won't be drooling as much next time but they can still get an outfit wet in a matter of seconds. LOL. Thank you so much for giving our family such precious memories.

February 5, 2010 - 5:34 am Wendi Miller - Thank you for being patient with our family on this FREEZING cold day!!!!!! We love the pictures SO much and every shoot with you is amazing! You always make it fun (even in 10 degree weather:) Thank you for sharing your special talent with us every year. You rock!!!!!
