“Every single photo feels like a piece of ART — natural, emotional, and full of joy!” - Kara + Chris

A man in a tuxedo and a woman in a wedding dress sit on a sofa. They appear to be a newlywed couple, with the woman wearing a veil. They are sitting close together, with the woman's hand resting on the man's chest.

Oh hey!

I am Callie B.

Woman with red hair wearing large black sunglasses, a wide-brimmed straw hat, and a sleeveless floral top standing against a white textured wall in bright sunlight.
A woman with long curly red hair, blue eyes, and tattoos on her left arm making a peace sign gesture near her head, sitting on a couch with a colorful abstract painting on the wall behind her.

My approach is artful and earnest, authentically documenting your unique experience - framing real moments with an emotion forward, style-driven narrative voice that is relaxed yet refined and undeniably you.

Through film and digital I blend texture with spontaneity, nostalgia with now - capturing the full spectrum of your day; the cinematic in the subtle, the beauty in the chaos, the celebration that becomes party legend.
