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. 

HOME | and feel like I need a vacation:)

TAYLOR | columbus, ohio senior photography

August 10, 2009 Posted in Seniors

I have so many favorites from this session. So many. I have met the nicest, sweetest girls this season. If I think about the future and high school with my girls my mind can go to some dark and scary places – but then I met girls like Taylor and all is right with the world:)

img_2385-2428All Taylor and her mom asked for was natural unposed shots. These are some of my favorite. I almost deleted the one on the left but kept coming back to it. I love both of these.

SMILING | my starbucks display

August 4, 2009 Posted in Personal

img_2329

Scared, freaked, excited, proud, exposed, thrilled, lucky.

All the feelings I have had over hanging some photos in my local Starbucks.  I need to chill out.

As simple as it looks it was a ton of work trying to figure out what to do – what pics to pick, the frames, how big, how to hang them. Like I became ocd about it. Now that I see a picture of it I need to go pull them closer together:)

For my next display I am going to collect antique frames of different sizes and shapes and cluster them all together and put my favorite family (not mine) (maybe one) photos in them. But for this month I just wanted to keep them simple and big and get them up.

So stay tuned …..
