Thank you to everyone who came out and supported such an incredible cause! 🤍

Because of all of you, the Granny Rose Pet Minis raised $620, along with a handful of donations. Every single dollar earned was donated directly back to Granny Rose.

Granny Rose does so much for our community, and I’m grateful to have been able to give back in even a small way. Thank you to everyone who booked a session, donated, or shared the event—you truly made a difference! 🐾

Thank you Callie Jo Photo & Film for you extremely generous donation. Because of people like you, we exist!

D A N I E L & N I C O L E 🥹🤠🤎

Every year, I get the chance to spend a morning/evening with Dan & Nicole, and somehow it just keeps getting better.

It’s not just the views or the cattle grazing in the background—it’s them. They’re the kind of couple that makes my job easy. Always laughing, always up for anything, and always so much fun to be around.

This year they brought along an old Dodge truck, and OH MY LORD… she was a beauty.

Safe to say this one will be hard to top 😮‍💨

✨ figured it’s about time I reintroduce myself… especially now that my new branding photos are finally here!! ✨

Hi, I’m Callie Jo — a 24-year-old photographer & filmmaker based in Northern Illinois. I formerly was known as Callie Jo Photography for the first 7 years of business- going into year 8 I rebranded into Callie Jo Photo+Film🤍

Whether you’re celebrating the little everyday moments or the biggest milestones of your life, I want to be the one preserving them. From growing families and seniors to weddings and everything in between, I’m your one-stop shop for photos & films that you’ll cherish forever.

Some days it still doesn’t feel real that I get to call my favorite thing my full-time job. I’m endlessly grateful for every single one of you who has trusted me to tell your story. This business has brought the most incredible people into my life, and I truly couldn’t love what I do more.

A few fun facts about me…
🤎 I’m a dog mom to Wrangler & Hank.
🤎 You’ll usually find me hanging out with my boyfriend, family, or friends.
🤎 Give me hunting, fishing, or anything outdoors and I’m happy.
🤎 I love reading (even though I never find time to sit down and read)
🤎 Morning walks are one of my favorite ways to start the day.
🤎 I ABSOLUTELY have to have a “fun drink” every day… coffee, a Boosted Tea, or an energy drink. 😂

A little business update…
✨ I’m only taking on 2 more weddings for 2027, and my 2028 wedding books are officially OPEN!
✨ My 2026 weekends are completely booked, and fall availability is very limited.

If you’ve been thinking about booking, now’s the time! I would absolutely love to tell your story. 🫶

Oh… and one more thing! 🎉

Once we hit 1.5K followers on Facebook, I’ll be doing a giveaway to celebrate! If you’ve loved working with me or enjoy following along, I’d be so thankful if you’d share my page and help us get there. It truly means the world to this small business. 🤍

The best sessions are the ones with no expectations. Just letting kids be kids, embracing the chaos, and preserving the moments that are gone far too quickly.

No forced smiles. No perfect poses. Just the muddy boots, outfits they pick on their own, and the little adventures that make up their everyday lives.

Because one day they’ll outgrow these moments, but their families will always have these photographs to remember exactly who they were in this season of life. And to me, that’s what photography is all about—capturing the real, the messy, and the memories that deserve to be held onto forever. 🤎
