raleigh portrait photographer: baby mackenzie!

hey!

hope everyone had a fantastic holiday! we had a great time home in the ‘burgh, driving in snow, snow tubing, and scraping ice off our cars in the -8 degree windchill. :) we’ve been scrambling to get our lives back together and in order since we’ve gotten back…and this week we’re getting on the right track. :) new pricing for the new year, new packages, and a very busy schedule await us this year and we’re pumped! but now it’s time to play catch up.

shortly before the holidays my friend jennifer received the lovely gift of a beautiful niece! mackenzie was born november 23, 2009 at 6lbs and 15oz and is as healthy and amazing as can be. she’s really an adorable baby girl who is incredibly happy and content. jennifer bought her sister a session with me for christmas and i got to meet the lovely mom danielle and her gorgeous newborn! we all had a great time catching up with each other, admiring baby mackenzie, and enjoying the company of max…the greatest weiner dog ever.

the following two pictures demonstrate the impact a weiner dog has on the level of fun in your photoshoot.

last days of wedding package sale!

hey! hurry up and get your wedding plans on, because we’re nearing the end of our 2009 wedding package sale!

all wedding packages are 10% off if you book before december 31, 2009.

our packages and price structure will be changing starting on the first of the year (note: this will not alter the price or package of clients who booked prior to 2010). since most clients book wedding vendors in january and feburary for the year, we are offering this 10% off incentive til 12/31/2009 for the following reasons:

1. you’re booking early. congratulations! you’ve got your stuff together. you’re ahead of the pack. your wedding is in 2010 but you’re booking in 2009. you deserve 10% off, don’t you?

2. we’ve had a fantastic year at carolyn scott photography and love, love, love our clients! how about spreading some holiday cheer with a little 10% off?

3. you’re a smart shopper. you know how expensive wedding photography can be. but hey, i’ll give you 10% off since you recognize how awesome it is to book early.

2010 is looking busy and awesome – just how i like it. my clients seem amazing and i’m looking forward to working with each and every one of them! so join us! schedule a no-obligation in-person consult before december 23, 2009 or a phone consultation for december 24-31st, 2009 (i’ll be in pittsburgh…so unless you’re there too, we’re going to have to do this over the phone).

CSP updates and family portraits!

woah! it’s been a long time. i’ve been super busy between website additions and holiday gatherings and have totally neglected to update my blog.

some fun updates:

– designing a coffee table book exclusively for the use of bringing to my consultations so you don’t have to look at pictures of the coffee table book, but can actually see the coffee table book itself. i know, a crazy idea right? ;)

– CSP now ships all high-res portrait DVDs and both low and high-res DVDs of weddings in personalized DVD cases. they’re padded, have magnetic closures, and have your photograph on them. more importantly they look awesome and protect your DVD better than a standard jewel case.

– carolyn and geoff got droids! now i have instant access to e-mail, my twitter account, and my calendar…which means you experience less time waiting for me to get back to you. :) although i’m pretty much addicted to checking my e-mail anyway and am generally pretty fast in responding, this is good for when i expect to be back in pittsburgh in 8 hours but actually spend 11 hours driving due to holiday traffic and don’t have anything else to do.

shortly before thanksgiving i was given the pleasure of photographing wonderful family portraits for jane and her husband. they have two married sons and 3 grandchildren (with one more coming soon!) and it was delightful to meet the family and take some adorable pictures. beautiful kids and a beautiful family!

the weather here has been less than stellar and one of the kids is recovering from the flu, so we stuck to the great indoors for these ones:
