Add my new blog to your feed readers, mmmkay?

Hey Everyone-
SUPER important, if you want to stay a follower of my photography blog... In the next month or so I will no longer be blogging at the blog.carlycarlson.com address. I'm trying to find a way to sync it up to my new location so we don't lose a bunch of readers along the way, but I'm having issues with that right now. Plan A and Plan B have both fallen through! :( So I'm letting you know RIGHT NOW, that if you follow this blog in Google Reader, or any other feedreader, you will also want to add the following to your feedreader (http://feeds.feedburner.com/CarlyCarlsonPhotography) right... now...

This way, when the new posting begins on my new blog in about a month, you won't miss a beat.

Any questions? I probably don't have answers... this whole blogging/feed reading/URL directing thing is way over my head. But, ask anyway. :)



In other news, I have no photos to post today and I'm sorry! Soon!

Carly

Congrats 2010 Grads!!!!

Just a quick tribute to my seniors this year! You are all awesome, I'm so excited for you all to go out into the world and be awesome.

Now... 2011... can you believe it's already time to start thinking senior pictures for the class of 2011?! Kills me! Can't wait for this fall!

Albums!! | About time, right? :)

So I am pretty sure I promised to blog my gorgeous albums like way back when... so finally, here they are!

First, these larger albums are perfect for telling your wedding story. They come in 8x8, 10x10 and 12x12. They are printed on Fuji Archival Crystal Paper (the best of the best in my humble opinion), full-grain Italian leather covers that melt like butter in your hands (and age beautifully), and tons of colors to choose from. They are simple meets luxury...

I personally design every album I sell (even my senior albums!). I don't reuse templates, I don't purchase templates from other photographers- every single album is 100% custom designed. What's so great about that? Well, since every wedding & every session is unique, and since I was there and personally invested in that wedding or session, I design based on my experience. Your album will tell the story of your day just as it was. And these leather albums are the perfect way to tell that story. They will stand the test of time, the dirty toddler hands that will likely handle them, and they will be family heirlooms for generations.

I am in love with these albums. See for yourself...

Sigh... don't you want to just eat that thing?! They are so wonderful.

And while I'm on the topic of albums, check out these sweet mini albums. They are 4x4, the same leather as our large albums, perfect to pop in your purse. They have been an absolute favorite for my seniors and their parents, and the mother-of-the-bride is a fan as well! I've had several mom's order identical mini-versions of their daughters wedding album... that's an awesome idea!

All the album sizes are available in these delicious colors...

Now I know you want your own, am I right? They are honestly irresistible... Wanna see one in person? I'd love to show you! 

I will blog again soon... perhaps it'll even be interesting! :)

Peace,

Carly
