Whew!! That was fast! One minute we were in the midst of summer, and now, burrrr………2010!
NEW ARRIVAL
Well, perhaps the most exciting "Special Event" that occurred in 2009 is our own Rachelle gave birth to precious Elliana Sophia, a very welcome addition to their family. (she has 3 older brothers!)
Elliana has already had her first photo shoot, which will no doubt launch a successful modeling career. She knows how to work the camera. What a cutie pie!
Till things settle down for our busy mommy of four, Erin and I will be helping post McCaffrey Photography news and events. And there is never a shortage of activities to tell about in Erin’s life.
CLASS OF 2010
Our high school senior program was very active through summer and into the fall. Lots of kids coming and going, it’s always a very fun time of year! New faces, new friends and previous client’s little brothers and sisters, now all grown up. Erin continues to wow them with her cutting edge images!
IMAGENOMIC!
Always growing and changing, our shooting room/recording studio went through an image change. The wood ceiling and trim are now a dark chocolate, adding a dash of drama, and combined with some fun color and faux on the walls the space is more inviting than ever.
And as the décor of the studio grows and changes, so does the internal working system. Doing continuing education workshops and seminars has always been a priority at McCaffrey Photography and this year Imagenomic sent their rep, George to our studio to do a three day case study working with Erin on new post production techniques, innovative lighting and streamlining the workflow. George was a delight…..knowledgeable, hardworking, and VERY entertaining! Thanks George, we had a blast!

TRAVELIN' GIRL..…
Another big part of Erin’s career has been her active participation in the world of country music. In October the Oklahoma “Rodeo” Opry asked Erin to fly in to do a special 2- day headshot event photographing young artists for their portfolios. Being so close to Dallas, she combined the Opry event with a trip to do artists sessions for students attending Amanda Earhart Vocal Studios. Erin also had a blast photographing Amanda who is an awesome artist herself and is in the studio now working on her album.

And of course whenever Erin’s clients hear she’s coming to town, there are always requests for La Silhouette and family sessions.
Erin’s generous nature and love of photography is part of what makes her so popular. She wasn’t home for long when she traveled to the East coast to share some marketing/sales training techniques with fellow photographer, Mahlon Yeager, a long time friend from California. He is an incredible fashion photographer from LA and they plan on doing some projects together this year! Can’t wait to see what they do!
TENNESSEE HILLS
Between the trips, lots of things were going on at home in Franklin. We participated in a wonderful charity golf tournament benefiting Ashley’s Children, which focuses on educating and empowering youths between the ages of 16-19, in the foster care and juvenile justice system, to make a successful transition to responsible adulthood. We had a lot of fun being out on the course photographing the teams as they cruised by in their golf carts and capturing those “pro swings” at the tee! We made some new friends and were happy to do what we could to help raise funds for such a special charity.

Living in such a picturesque area, we do a lot of sessions outside, and this year an added a feature that we will be sure to continue were some kid sessions we call , “Cowboys with Butterscotch” and “Springtime Fairies”…..Too adorable to see the little one dressed for their sessions and posing for Erin.
For adults that want something more formal or somewhat edgy for their family sessions Erin has added an urban twist…..the look is a little different, from sophisticated to contemporary…, and it was so popular I am sure there will be much more of this style into next year!
DECK THE HALLS…
As the holidays approach, everything at McCaffrey Photography goes into high gear! It’s like a little North Pole. Our family sessions (in Franklin, Oklahoma City and Dallas) and Christmas card orders are always a last minute rush. Thankfully we have our office assistants and favorite elves, Jasmine and Heather, two of the sweetest girls ever, do lots of projects from cranking out order entries, to thank you notes, birthday greetings, mailings, gift packages and shipping.
Jasmine and HeatherWe also have a new elf, Ashley Roy, as our in house retouch artist . Ashley’s calm demeanor and lovely smile, along with her skill and talent, has added an extra dimension to the quality portraiture we try to produce. You go girls! We couldn’t do it without you!!

Rachelle, our sales and marketing director and custom card designer, once again, created some beautiful Christmas cards this year! Take a look at some of the designs. Our cards are always the buzz…………our clients absolutely love them!! We can’t thank you enough Rachelle for continuing to help make McCaffrey Photography a success! Thanks for all of your hard work, girls! We appreciate you!
Allessondra and the Chanel girls kicked off the season with their second portrait event at Cool Springs, Dillards. The ladies that participated were able to give a gift that lasts forever with beautiful portraits for their loved ones. We sometimes forget, creating a lovely portrait, (though we may be shy about sitting for the photographer), is not so much about us as subjects as it is about how much our family members love and cherish these wonderful gifts!
Whew!! So that’s about all for 2009! We thank our loyal clients for allowing us to be a part of your lives with portraiture! Looking forward to a fabulous New Year!!
