the end of an era...sorta.

Hello Followers, Readers and Friends!

Since I'm kick-starting my photography off right, I have set up a new site and new blog, too! I'm not sure if I'll still be posting here or not--this seems to be more of a blog for sharing with friends and less appropriate for my business, but only time will tell!

I really appreciate your support, your kind words and your interest! Thank you for helping me with the next step in my journey!

~Carrie

hi there! just wanted to share a little info with you--my friend Nicole and I have recently teamed up to form Lux Photography NC. We'll be launching our new site very soon, but in the meantime, please check out our work.

You can find Nicole's work on her blog, and you can see my family, special occasion and commissioned work by following these links or using the menu on the right side of the blog. I just updated the family and special occasion sites with my Anderson family photos and Courtney and Derek's engagement photos--check 'em out!

thanks for stopping by!

updates, updates, updates!

There are new photos on my special occasions and family photo blogs, go check 'em out.

I'm also accepting appointments for special occasion and family photos this fall. If you are interested in getting pics of your family or loved ones (including animals!) for holiday cards, gifts or just to have around the house, please let me know!

our state publication!

I cannot believe I didn't tell you all my exciting news when it happened! See this photo? The photo below? I submitted it to our state magazine and it was published in the April 2008 issue. It was humbling and exciting and rewarding, too! Having one of my photos published was a huge goal of mine, and I am so pleased that it happened!!!



Special thanks goes out to my friend Laura who helped make sure my photo submissions got to the art department, and who found out they had my photos from months ago, were putting one in their next issue and shared the excellent news with me!
