My big girl...

I love all of these awesome blogs where photographers are posting their clients shoots as well as personal things about their own families, but I have the hardest time opening up in that way on this blog! I don't know why- I just feel really protective over my family. Mother Hen mode kicks in as soon as I begin uploading a post about the cute things Stella is doing, or how awesome my husband is, and I delete the post before it's been published. Besides, my life is incredibly boring for the most part! But, while I may never be as awesome as Tara Whitney or Jonathan Canlas or Sheye Rosemeyer or any of those other awesome photographers at posting personal work on this blog- I will continue to work harder at it. (I think I've promised this before?? haha)

Today, I quickly snapped these shots of Stella just as she woke up and walked into the living room to greet me for the day. It wasn't until after shooting that I realized my ISO was at about 4000! haha :) Love that grain!

And this is another one from this morning, I just think she's the cutest thing ever. :)

I'm challenging myself by using some of the other lenses in my arsenal a bit more. These were shot with my 28mm 2.8, wide open. I really do love that lens, I have no idea why I never use it. 

PROM MINI SESSIONS! | Sign up now, slots will fill up FAST!

Here's the best news you've heard all year... 

You don't have to get the traditional prom pictures! 

Instead, book a completely custom, totally fun mini-shoot with CCP! 

There are only 8 of these awesome 30-minute time slots available on April 17th before prom,

slots are already filling up so book ASAP!

Individual, couple, or group sessions give you tons of options. Don't have a date, but want awesome prom pics? Go solo for an individual shoot- hey, you're getting all dressed up right?! Or better yet, get a huge group of friends together for a crazy group session.

And couples, guess what? No "prom poses" here. Each session will be unique, you'll have a dozen photos to choose from, and you'll have no lines to wait in for your photos! Sessions will take place downtown and will have an urban vibe. We'll get a variety of posed and candid pics for you to choose from. Plus, you can order a variety of poses to fill your print package, and you can add as many additional prints as you'd like with the purchase of any print package.

Choose your session type & your print package, then call me to book your session!

To book your own prom mini-shoot, call Carly @ 541-519-1957.

The sun teased us all morning, but it was still freezing cold and now just as grey and yucky as it feels outside. :(

I have STUFF TO BLOG, I mean, a LOT of stuff. 

It may be necessary to schedule a "blogging" day soon to get all the good stuff up on the blog! :)

What's the weather like where YOU are?

Jon B | BHS Senior Rep 2010

Jon is one of the BHS senior reps for CCP this year! He's been awesome to work with, and I hope he's enjoying the perks of being a senior rep, too! If you are a SENIOR this coming year (2011 school year) and are interested in becoming a representative for Carly Carlson Photography, call me for more information! There are some great perks, and I'm doing some new exciting things this coming year that haven't been done before for my reps! Exciting time to be a rep! There are very few slots available and it's on an application basis, not everyone will become a rep that wants to. Once the spots are filled, they're filled. So let me know if you are interested SOON! :)
NOW... Jon's pics! :)
