thursday three things | utah photographer
Thursday, January 28th, 2010This week’s Thursday Three Things contains three quick photos…photos that over the past year have become my favorites. I’m slowly working on updating my website to include some additional photos from over the past year, I love looking back and revisiting old sessions, seems that I always see something new.
1. From a wonderful newborn session…a photo that I have wanted to capture of a new babe for some time.
2. From one of my weddings in 2009, a great couple who were fantastic to work for. We were able to capture so much emotion and joy between the two of them in their images.
3. From a fun family session, I loved getting these images home and looking through them and this was one that stood out to me from the second I saw it.

thursday three things | utah photographer
Thursday, January 21st, 2010I hope everyone is having a great week, it’s been a busy one here at the Owens house so this week’s three things is all about my family 
1. Monday was my husband’s birthday, we had a nice quiet celebration and the kids were sooo excited to make their cards for dad and to have cake…when I pulled out the box of candles it just happened to be a box of 36 candles. So I HAD to put them all on. Had to.
2. Yesterday was my youngest son’s birthday – he turned six…I cannot believe my baby is already six! Last night before bed he brought me an old pair of his pjs and said that the night before was their last night. They are too small now, because he’s six. He’s just positive that he grew the night before as he was turning six. We had swim lessons and a pinewood derby race last night so we’re celebrating with family tonight…but I thought it would be fun to have little ice cream sundaes when we got home last night – they were more than thrilled.
3. Last night my oldest son had his Pinewood Derby race for scouts. He was pretty nervous as last year his tank that he made didn’t race very well…this year he took first and he couldn’t have been more proud! It was great seeing him so proud of himself for racing well with a car that he designed and built and painted himself. (he’s red car #79)

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010I met this cute couple last weekend and wanted to share some of my favorite images from our maternity session. It was so great meeting them and being welcomed into their home. They have a beautiful home and I cannot wait to come back to photograph their little babe. Enjoy this little peek!

thursday three things | utah family photographer
Thursday, January 14th, 2010Installment number two of the thursday three things from carrieowensphotography includes two new products and one little reminder
thing one:
whimsical frames
The above photos show an 8×8 image framed image with a beautiful linen texture to the photograph. The frame is 3-1/2″ wide with an edge detail, the whimsical trim which can be in the same shade as the frame or a coordinating color is up to nearly 2″ at it’s widest point. These frames require no glass and allow you to hang your art on your walls as soon as it arrives from my studio. Pricing and color samples available upon client request.
thing two:
rustic frames
The above storyboard is a 10×20 image framed in a 3-1/2″ wide rustic frame with coordinating 1″ detailing. In the close up image you can see the detail of the print itself that requires no glass. There are several colors and options available, pricing and color samples available upon client request.
thing three:
go big.
In the above image you can see the importance of going big with your images. This was one of my favorite shots from a session and I wanted to make an impact with it for a boutique show that I had coming up. I printed it at a 16×24 size…sounds pretty large, right? Place it in my living room (next to the giant clock…I know…kinda messes with the proportions a bit) and it doesn’t look so huge anymore. If this image was a canvas (which means it would protrude from the wall a bit) or framed, it would be able to stand on this wall. By itself (or if it were smaller) it almost gets a little lost. Pay close attention when purchasing wall portraits for your home. Look at the area in which you are planning on placing the image and really map it out to see how it will look. Also think about grouping images together to make a statement. See this past post for more images of photographic art around my home. And for my clients, I have some great wall display ideas, let me know if you would like to see them and I can set you up with the password for the online gallery of images.
friday foto | utah photographer
Friday, January 8th, 2010The second Friday of the year gets a post with not one but several photos These photos are from a recent trip to Temple Square when my dad and his wife were in town just before the holidays. We met at the Gateway for dinner and then took Trax to Temple Square. There were so many people and it was quite chilly, but the lights were beautiful! We even sat in on a high school choir performance that rocked out the most amazing rendition of Jingle Bells that I’ve heard…it was quite intense!
I loved that last image with the steam rising off the fountain into the lights of the light tree. A beautiful night!
thursday three things | Utah family photographer
Thursday, January 7th, 2010With the new year comes new things and new happenings at carrieowensphotography, and with that, a new feature on the carrieowensphotography|blog is the Thursday Three Things. Each week I will feature Three Things. They will be things that make my life easier, little photography tips, things I’m working on in my life or other little tidbits of info from me to you…aren’t you so excited?
This week’s Thursday Three Things relate to the business side of things…new offerings for twenty ten from carrieowensphotography.
thing one:
Thank you to all my clients and all the new people and friends that I’ve met in the past year. Thank you all for making it a great year, I appreciate you all very much! and to thank you for your support and business I am offering $25 off session fees for any of my previous clients…even those of you that I haven’t seen in a while
thing two:
Since opening my business I have contemplated the benefits to a baby plan or a toddler plan or one of the other various options that are out there and none of them quite fit the way that I wanted to do business. I have come up with a plan that I really like. It’s called the carrieowensphotography|year in pictures and it means just that. There are two options in this program, Option One gives you 4 sessions in a 12 month period for a discount off of your combined session fees and Option Two gives you 3 sessions in a 12 month period. Option One is a wonderful program for a baby’s first year (newborn, 3 month, 9 month and 1 year) and Option Two is great for those baby years beyond and for family portraits as well. Look for a more detailed write up on the blog coming very soon or if you need info sooner, please email me.
thing three:
As a thank you to my clients I want to offer up a new referral program. For every new client that you refer to me who books a session with carrieowensphotography I will award you a $50 print credit to be used on your next order. The credit will appear in your account in the clients section of my website once your referral has had their session. If you haven’t already created an account, please do so by clicking on the clients link on my website.
Check back next week for a different Thursday Three Things!
