Get to Know Your Photographer Series - Fun Fact #1

A Snapshot of My Life

Hey everyone! I'm Jonathan, your go-to photographer here in good ol' Franklin County. Let's kick back, grab a virtual cup of coffee, and chat about the good times I've had from growing up in this area to snapping memories behind the lens.

First off, you should know, Callaway isn't just my workplace; it's home. Born, raised, and still soaking in the laid-back vibes of this place. Every picture I take has a dash of Callaway charm – it's in the air, in the smiles, and even in the occasional photobomb by a passing farm animal.

Now, onto the real stars of my show – the family. Emily and I have been riding this rollercoaster called marriage for a whopping 30 years. Yep, you read that right.  She's the one who's seen me navigate through camera gear, weather tantrums, and the chaos of family photoshoots. 

Speaking of family, meet Kayla and Madison – my dynamic duo of fantastic kids. They bring life, laughter, and the occasional eye roll to every family portrait. And then there's Buster, our beagle with a knack for stealing the spotlight. He's the real pro at posing for treats.

Now, let me open up about my approach to photography. It's not just about snapping pics; it's about creating an experience. Whether you're a high school senior nervously posing or a family looking for that perfect shot, I'm here to make it feel like a breeze. No uptight vibes here, just good times and great photos.

So, why am I spilling my life story? Well, because behind every click is a story. From capturing sunsets to freezing that spontaneous family laugh, each photo is a piece of Callaway's heart. And I want you to be a part of it.

Whether you're an old friend or a soon-to-be client, consider this your invitation to join me on this photography rollercoaster. Let's make memories, laugh a little too much, and turn those ordinary moments into extraordinary snapshots. Cheers to the good times, y'all!

As always if you have any questions for me, please feel free to contact me anytime!

Jonathan
