WPPI selects CHS as Studio of the Month
Press Comments Off Tue 05.13.2008
This month we were selected by Wedding and Portait Photographer International as their studio of the month which is quite an honor! Specifically they looked at our innovative approach to story telling via multimedia image narrations.
Below is the beginning and link to full article:
“Digital technology is changing the way we preserve our memories. Today’s photographers can tell stories and illustrate events in more depth than ever before,” explains photographer Catherine Hall. Hall–a pioneering artist who is developing what she calls “Image Narration”–is owner and founder of an eponymous studio. Catherine Hall Studios specializes in both editorial and wedding photography. Her wedding coverage allows her to serve the upper echelons of bicoastal society, predominantly the New York metropolitan area and San Francisco Bay Area residents.
“At the moment, I position Image Narration as a special added product that complements my in-place photography and album offering,” says Hall. With her new way of storytelling, Hall has quickly grown a following among a white glove clientele.

For those of you wondering why I disappeared off the face of the earth for a week…. I was in Vegas for EIGHT days. It was an incredible trip! The week started with album judging where I served on panel of 10 international judges (1 of 5 selected from the United States.) This was quite an honor considering the convention had over 10,000 attendees!
My favorite albums of the comp are by Jerry Ghionis, Jim Garner. and the The Sallees. I also was a young gun – more information and photos to folllow! And finally, I had my Platform class on St. Pattys day. The class was a huge success with nearly 1000 people there. We even had people bringing in chairs from other classrooms. All and all a great trip!Below is a photo of three of my favorite people at wppi, Melisa Slater, Lori Nordstrom, and Deette Sallee.

Photographing WPPI in Vegas
Out + About Comments Off Mon 04.02.2007
This year I was selected as one of the four photographers to contribute to the Day in the Life of WPPI annual publication. The book is produced by GraphiStudio, and includes behind the scenes coverage of the Trade Show, print competition and awards show from four different photographer’s perspectives. I worked closely with Michelle Kersten to come up with a concept to differentiate this book from previous editions. She has been brilliant to work with and I am looking forward to publication.
I wanted to thank Canon for graciously allowing me to use their G7 model for those times I didn’t want to carry my 5d with all my lenses. The camera is compact, allows complete control with manual adjustments, and has a10 Megapixel sensor. Problem with letting me borrow? Now, I need to go out and buy my own!
