carrie workman photography: A Look at 2008! What a wonderful year...

WELCOME TO OUR NEW BLOG: we liked our old one, but we never used it... so here's to new beginnings!

Thank you so much for stopping by! We will be using this blog to keep you up to date on our recent sessions and weddings, tell you about upcoming specials, and let you in on the some of the fun we have over at the Workman household. We want you to get to know who we are and why we do what we do!

Our home/studio/farm is located in Cleveland, TN… about 25 minutes north of Chattanooga. We mainly photograph children, babies, toddlers, newborns, high school seniors, sweet 16s, and weddings. We shoot on location, too– especially this time of year! That means, we’ll come to your house and photograph your child(ren) doing what they do best! Playing, eating, singing, dancing, sleeping, laughing,… you name it! Those are called Lifestyle Sessions and are perfect this time of year when it’s a little too cold to go outside for pictures. If you’re interested in booking a session or finding out more information, please email us at info@carrieworkman.com

Many of you had the opportunity of meeting Jenna Ghizas- our 2008 Intern! We will miss her so much!

And, in case you’ve not met or spoken with her, Tiffany Zajas is our new Studio Coordinator and Photographer!

Words cannot express how excited I was (and still am) about her joining our team last year!
