Katie McCrary Photography bio picture
  • WELCOME!

    Hi! I am an everyday life adventure photographer. I tend to find the most extraordinary moments in the ordinary. I have a famiy full of boys who love wildly and that I love wildy. My house is an adventure, my hands are never still, and my heart is always full. Contact me so we can capture your family and your adventure.
    I love this quote...I feel like I always stumble upon my most favorite photographs just like I do adventures with my boys..Be careful going in search of adventure - it's ridiculously easy to find.

I’m dusting off the blog and visiting 1492….

As you can tell, I’ve neglected my blog. I’m going to dust her off and give it a go again! I’ll do my best to keep up! So be on the lookout for client shoots and lots of life in between. My client shoots are VERY limited this summer. I will be traveling quite a bit and let’s face it…raising a 5 and 1 year old…who has time to shoot/blog? But I hope you enjoy my updates from time to time…I will indeed try and do better!

 

I’ve been on the couch with the sinus crud for the last few days. Both littles found it too…but I had mentioned we would go to see the Nina and the Pinta at our Marina this weekend BEFORE the crud hit us. So, the oldest little got to feeling better and has a memory as sharp as a tack I tell ya. So cruddy mama and sweet dad pack them up and make the stop. I didn’t feel the greatest, but I won’t forget it. Educating our children is such a blessing. No matter how much teachers teach our children, it is our responsibility to grow their little minds. For him to connect…In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue…while walking on the actual ships…phenomenal. I just enjoy peaking their little imaginations… knowledge is a gift that offers infinite return.. We were blessed today with our visit to these ships. They are here in the Columbus Marina until Tuesday. GO SEE THEM! You won’t regret it!

Add the Jane Jetson to your session…

Remember how Jane Jetson used to ride the escalator through her closet and come out the other side looking smashing? I was forever envious. Who wants to fuss with hair and makeup before a photo session and worry about everything being perfect? I had much rather someone take that task for me….daily..if the truth be known! Ladies, I now offer a coordinated hair/makeup appointment with your sessions. Senior sessions….what fun to add this to your session! Such a fun day of pampering…makeup..hair…PHOTOSHOOT!
