I determined to set myself apart as a 'Christian Photographer' after photographing a wedding where the groom was surprised and excited to learn I was a Christian. The groom then told me how the couple had prayed that their photographer would be a Christian and how happy it made them that their prayers had been answered. This surprised me, as they did not read my testimony on my Island Photographer homepage because it was buried in text, and because I did not use the traditionl fish logo on my site, they were completely unaware of my faith. As it turned out, the bride, her family and I had all been members of the same church and they were close with many of my old friends. We reflected upon how they had really wanted a Christian photographer and after that, I was prompted to specialize myself with a unique website.
A Glimpse into My Life
This is my little home on the www. Thank you for stopping by. Hopefully, this space will serve as a little window into both the latest and greatest of my photography work, and insight into what makes up my life.
About the Whidbey Island Christian Photographer
My name is Sean Callahan and I am passionate about my photography!
As a photographer, I am lucky enough to have the opportunity to capture the hilarity, joy, and emotion that erupts when people's lives are celebrated.
My work is always moving, always changing and full of new opportunities.
I really can't think of a more rewarding job in the world!
I am a Very Lucky Man
I have a fun, loving wife, two happy children and I work in an occupation that rewards my creative expression while enriching the lives of others!
Also, I am allowed to spend a great amount of time with my family and treat them to mini-vacations when I travel for destination weddings!
I tend to work primarily on weekends and spend the rest of my time involved in other pursuits, including family time at the pool or park, exercising, attempting to learn javascript, reading, lots of volunteering, and discovering new needs and ways to help others.
I am truly blessed. I belong to a great church and have strong accountability partners that help keep me focused on God and family first.
I enjoy very simple things, like jogging as the sun rises and the beauty of the sky or nature.
I get excited when I consider the myriad of future possibilities that I look forward to. I always have a passion for a project and I am a morning person, bounding out of bed, eager to resume my life and passions each day.
I look forward to bringing my passion, energy and skills to every job.
The Whidbey Island Photographer Philosophy
There is a popular saying with business networks, "Givers get." This saying is true in life, but I hate to think that others sole reason to give is their motivation to recieve. I trust completely in God to provide for my family and I have faith that I am called to give in a selfless manner, without thought for compensation.
My Walk and the Fruits of My Spirit.
I am actively involved in ministry at my church and I am sure to never market or promote myself as a photographer there.
I also give my time and finances to support the Childrens Home Society and the Defender Foundation.
I have always been committed to service in the church and I know that I have an 'Acts Of Service' personality.
I thoroughly enjoy helping others and I am counted as one of the people who gain more pleasure from giving than I do from receiving.
I am fortunate to be able to be a good steward and give to others without needing anything in return.
I value relationships and I look to help others wherever I see a need.
