It's official!

Carlycarlson.com is official. :) Check me out, I have a dot-com.

Tonight I'm taking some "bridals". I say "bridals" because the "bride" is already married. She didn't get bridals done when she was married, though. So we're having ourselves some fun.

I'll be sure to post updates asap. :)

Also, I will be in Salt Lake City next week, from Monday through Wednesday. It's a very full schedule already, I'm assisting Jessica Kettle on a wedding. Then I am doing a family and kid shoot for my cousin Aria's family, and I have another kid shoot for my aunts chocolate drop, Ruby.

Air Show & Site Update

You'd think if I was at an airshow, I would have gotten really neat shots of bombers flying on top of each other or something. But no, this is the best shot of the day. And honestly, I'm pretty excited about how cool it is. :) It looks pretty weird online, really faded for some reason. Ah, well. Just know that the vibrancy is much cooler in photoshop.



The website is totally done and will be officially up within the next day or two-- you can see it here, for now : click here... Please give me any feedback regarding how fast/slowly it loads. I realized I didn't optimize all of my images... yeah, I'm new to all of this stuff. :)

I'm so excited to have the website up, so now I can start using this as a real photo blog :)

Major update

Well hello,
I'm so sorry it's been ages since I updated. Here's what I've been doing...
I've been working on the website. I've been taking bunches of photos and editing them. I've been creating new logos and watermarks. I've been out of town. I've been chasing around my baby. I've been sooo busy. BUT! There is light at the end of the tunnel-- by the end of this week I will 100% for sure have a semi-functioning website up and ready to go! :)

Here are some shots I took while visiting my family in beautiful Eastern Oregon.

Jenny's baby

Hey, remember Jenny, the maternity shots I did a few weeks ago? Well that baby is no longer a bump in Jen's tummy! Check out this little sweetness!
(YES I know the photo says "carlycarlson.com" on it... BUT my site is not up and running QUITE yet. In the next couple of days this blog will automatically redirect to that domain, though, and then soon, very soon, we will have a full all out site running... look forward to it!)

Those are Mama Jenny's hands

and baby To-Be-Named feetsies...
Precious?!!

My Girl loves those Dandies

My sweetness is 7 months old already, crazy, eh? She just loves those dandies!

Hunter boy

2 words... perfect eyes!

This boy is just a heartbreaker! Something I love about doing photos is when I get to do them for my friends. It is so rewarding to know I can do something for my pals!

It was really hard for me to choose just a few to put up here-- maybe I'll do more later. :) Enjoy for now!!

Caitlin

Lots and lots of black and whites for Caitlin & her baby bump! Thanks for watching Stella, Steven! What a trooper.

More Adney

I just keep looking at these pictures, this boy is such a perfect model!!
(I'm trying this watermark, I hope it isn't TOO distracting from the photo, any input on that would be great!)

Adney - a teaser

Here are 3 pictures from my most recent little outing. There will be more to come, but honestly this little Adney could do NO wrong.

Mama & Baby-- Mir I hope you don't mind

being on here... You two just looked so great!

You may recognize these...

Here are some more from a few of my past shoots!! :)




LOOOOVE this little Isaac's over-the-shoulder shots.
What a little man!



ANNNND a few more maternity ones
(can you ever really get tired of the baby-bump?!)







Ok, So I know the chain in front of her face may be a bit distracting,
but I just can't get over how beautifully Jenny photographs!!!
