Vay – cay – shun

Don’t forget — CMP will be closed from 5 pm on Saturday, May 15th until Tuesday, June 1st for some much needed R&R! All phone calls and emails will be returned during the week of June 1st! If you blogstalked us last summer, you know about The Roadtrip (posts are in reverse order). There will be some summer travels, but nothing on the scale of 2009′s trip. And yes –we’ll be doing the Comments for Charity again in conjunction with those travels …

Summer Specials

In addition to the CMP Super Minis on June 5th (Athens area, location TBA upon session confirmation) … there’s also two summer specials on the menu. One super awesome digital special good now through August 31st and one ‘Christmas in July’ special that’ll debut July 1st.

Just drop us an email at christina@christinamccall.com and we’ll send the details to you!

Casting Call and Seniors 2011!

On a budget and wish you could afford a CMP session sooner than later? You might just be in luck! Visit the Casting Call page to see if you or someone you know might fit one of the ideas I have envisioned … a few casting call sessions will be held this summer, the rest in late 2010/early 2011.

All participants selected will receive a waived session fee as well as a mounted 8×10 print as thanks for helping me make the ideas I have a reality!

And for the Class of 2011 … I’m looking for a few good soon-to-be-seniors to represent CMP. Know a current high school junior that’s outgoing, involved in lots of activities, and who’d like to earn some rewards for making referrals? Have them contact me for the CMP Rep Application ASAP!

Selected members of the Class of 2011 will receive two (2) waived fee mini sessions — one this summer (in July or August) and one in late winter/early spring (January – mid March) as well as 5 watermarked digital proofs (per session) and rep cards to pass out to their friends/family.

Awards and Features!

At the end of February, the Athens Review released its annual Best of List — selected by the readers of the Athens Review … and Christina McCall Photography was selected as Best Photographer! Read more here

Featured Session/Event

On April 17th, CMP had the honor of documenting the Speak Up for Kids CASA 5k race and festivities.

Back when I was in graduate school, I spent part of a semester observing and analyzing an area CASA office for one of my seminar courses. I’ve wanted to become involved with the organization after becoming so familiar with its mission, but it has been a conflict of interest due to the field my day job is in.

Speak up for Kids CASA 5k - CASA of Trinity Valley, April 17, 2010
