Hi, I am Carrie Callahan! It all started when I was a child, you couldn’t find me without a camera in my hand. Whether it was photographing silly or serious memories, I never wanted to miss capturing a moment. I take my photos so seriously that I even studied photography in college and graduated with a Bachelor's in Art! I decided to turn my passion into so much more and I cannot wait to share it with you! I'm not your typical photographer. I don't confine my photographs inside a stuffy studio. I prefer to capture the beauty of the world outside, where the magic truly happens. Whether it's a solo portrait session, a romantic couple shoot, an exciting event, or even an adorable animal - I've got you covered. My lens knows no bounds when it comes to capturing those special moments. Let's forget about the forced and posed shots. I believe in capturing the raw and genuine emotions that make each photograph truly unique. So, let's throw away the rulebook and create something extraordinary together. Additional Information: Anything from head shots, to event photography, to animal photography, to anything else you could possibly think of! I will make your dream come to life!

I found my love for clay shooting through the development of FSU’s skeet and trap team, where I served as president for 2 years. I found passion for brand design, sponsorship negotiation, marketing our team, and content making. I became adept at creating professional clay shooting content. Today, I use my photography and videography skills to create impactful content for brands and athletes. Ultimately, my dream is to create a media/marketing and coaching resource for both companies and individuals, combining resources on both brand image design and performance guidance. After further developing my consulting company, I will go back to school to become a registered sports psychologist and include performance psychology based services within my packages.

Clay shooting began as a hobby for me in the 8th grade, starting with American Trap like many youth shooters. I quickly sought a greater challenge and discovered my passion for Sporting Clays, a sport I’ve now been dedicated to for over six years. Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of meeting incredible people within this vibrant community and achieving success at the highest collegiate level. I am a two-time national champion with Lindenwood University, winning titles in 2024 and 2025. My interest in media and production began with high school sports broadcasting and evolved into a professional role at Lindenwood University, where I work as a Camera Operator and Replay Technician for ESPN+. I bring extensive experience in photography, specializing in both 35mm film and digital videography, along with a strong understanding of social media analytics to enhance brand exposure within the shooting sports community. I believe the timeless quality and character of 35mm film offer a unique way to capture the energy and precision of clay shooting, and I’m passionate about delivering that artistry through my work.
Additional Information: Proficient in the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom, Premiere Pro, and InDesign) Willing to capture photos for clubs, events, individual shooters, publications, and teams. Film development does take a bit longer than digital photos, but I will do my best to get you your scans promptly!
