Rich Kalonick Photography / photo-blog site bio picture

Rich Kalonick At A Glance


• Learned more from experience than his fancy photography degree.

• Likes his cappacinos dry.

• Married Gretchen. They're having a baby - their first baby. (update a girl)

• Has four blue zip-up sweatshirts and is always thinking of buying another.

• Doesn't take naps.

• Gets his kicks capturing moments that everyone else misses.

• Sweats a lot, but loves summer anyway.

• Has a collection of sunglasses most people would die for - seriously, like 25 pairs.

• Has a dog, Myla, who is more like a person and less like an animal.

• Loves getting rental cars with satelite radio - 60's and 70's music is his guilty pleasure.

• Finds his way anywhere with his supernatural sense of direction. If you get lost, call him.

• Is a foodie. Knows which restaurants to go to, what to order, and could probably make  the dishes himself - he cooks.

• Everything he touches turns to pretty.


Rich is based in Nashville TN.

Chad McClaron is a fellow photog here in Nashville.  They are getting married this summer in Sheboygan WI.  I can’t wait for them and I can’t wait to say I am headed to Sheboygan to shoot the wedding.  You can check out his work here.  It will be the first wedding of mine to shoot of a photographers own.  I am sure it will be fine at least Chad can by my assistant if I need a hand.
