Visiting family

Hey ya'll,
We are all home in Louisiana visiting John's family in Patterson and my extended family in Pineville. It's refreshing to go back to your routes, even if just for the weekend.
Kari and Jeremy's wedding was so pretty last Sat with all the fall colors. I bet they are having the time of their lives in Cancun this week!!
Things are really heating up with family sessions and booked engagement and bridal sessions for my spring wedding couples. I am hoping for lots and lots of great weather to be able to shoot outdoors as much as I need to.
I am excited to go to the Clay and Jane tour workshop this week coming to the Houston area!

Senior 08 cards are on the town!

I am thrilled to tell ya'll that my first mass marketing campaign is arriving in folks' mailboxes tonight. I know because I got one of my own. Do you have any idea how freaky it is to get your own work advertising you in the mail? I designed an awesome two-sided 5.5x8.5 postcard showcasing two amazing seniors. Can't wait to hear from the graduating crowd!
The last round of beach sessions went really well. It was quite windy but the temps were tons more pleasant than in August.
I also had the honor of photographing 69 members of my church's confirmation class for 2008 on Sunday. That topped out my largest group ever done on an alter!
Looking forward to Kari and Jeremy's awesome ceremony this Saturday!

catching up

Hi everyone,
Jeff and Joy's wedding at the Aquarium and All Saints was gorgeous!! The couple is in Spain as I write this. I can't wait for them to see their photos when they return!
We are headed to the beach for our last round of sessions on Saturday. Looks like the weather will hold out for us after all. We completely missed the storm that just moved through south eastern Texas. My family in LA is getting hit today though. Safe prayers going their way...
I am working on the first edition of Keepin' Up With Carlino's, our newsletter.
Have a great day!

All updated photos on the website!!!

I am so excited to announce the latest update to the Carlino's Photography website. What a summer it's been and the photos truly tell the story of where, when, and who I was privileged to photograph over the last three months.
All the opening show photos as well as the galleries are new, so please stop by and turn up the music. I couldn't bear to change out that song by Liz Phair, "Why Can't I Breathe" because it just rocks and because it is so in line with my thoughts on your moments. I am constantly thinking of new angles and new ideas to keep it fresh but am also thrilled to celebrate in these awesome moments we captured over the last few months.
ENJOY!!!
