Enjoy...

And another wonderful family...

charity: water [happy birthday to me]

2011-09-05T13:58:00.000-07:00

In honour of my birthday on September 26th, my wish this year is to raise $390 for Charity: Water's 5th Anniversary September Campaign. Instead of sending me a card in the mail (as some of you do), I would love it if you would donate the cost of the card & the postage to Charity: Water instead.

Every drop counts. Thanks! xoxoxox c

This is an exciting day for me! After a lot of hard work, time and energy, I am thrilled to introduce my new website to you at www.carolynegerszegi.com.

I have been building this website for a very long time and feel quite proud of what I have accomplished! I did all of the design and site building myself, with little help from Showit software. Not bad, eh?

Please click www.carolynegerszegi.com to visit my new site:

And now that I have added another layer to my online presence, perhaps it would be handy to know all of the places where you can find me on the internet:

Spilled Milk Photography blog - postings and photos from my portrait sessions with families, children, newborns and expectant moms.

Carolyn Egerszegi Photography blog - postings and photos about weddings and engagement sessions.

Carolyn Egerszegi Photography website - portrait, engagement and wedding galleries, rate information, an interview with me, contact and personal information - including childhood and recent photos of me - and perhaps even a few golden eggs... if you're keen enough to find them!

Facebook - updates and galleries from my most recent work. It's also a great place to engage in casual conversation with me. Be sure to click "Like" to stay up-to-date on what I am doing with my business.

Pinterest - the visual contents of my brain. Other than my website, Pinterest is probably the best place to look if you want to know more about the things I am interested in and the images that I love.

Twitter @cegerszegi - the verbal contents of my brain. Which, is surprisingly empty. I tweet maybe once a day (at best) because on Twitter I am really more interested in listening than being heard. Of course, if you want to know some of my most random thoughts throughout the day, please feel free to follow me!

Don't forget to update all of your bookmarks... and thanks for visiting!

2011-05-23T15:56:00.000-07:00

My fall mini sessions continue... this time at Granville Island.

One thing I wanted to note about this session is that many of these faces might seem familiar. A few are first time clients, but most of the others are second, third or even fourth time clients.

It's such an honour to photograph such wonderful people year after year!

And don't forget - I still have space available in my Photography Class. Sign up today!

fall mini sessions [lonsdale quay]

2011-05-13T12:03:00.001-07:00

Last fall I photographed a bazillion family mini sessions and I'm finally blogging about them now! Hopefully when Spring actually arrives I'll fully emerge from my Winter hibernation and resume a regular blogging schedule.

Things to note:

- I am offering a photography basics class on Saturday, May 28th. There are still some spaces available. Check out all the details HERE.

- I have a few spaces left for full portrait sessions and weddings in July and August. Email me today if you're thinking of having photos done this summer before my schedule is full.

Other than that... here are some shots from the mini sessions I did at Lonsdale Quay in North Vancouver... enjoy...

mother's day gift idea: photography basics [with carolyn]

2011-05-07T14:54:00.000-07:00

Do you have a mom in your life who loves photography and wants to improve her skills? Well, just in time for Mother's Day, this blog post is for you.

I'm bringing my blog out of hibernation to announce the perfect Mother's Day gift: a photography class... with me!

Over the years various clients have asked me for photography tips and tricks, so I thought it might make sense to finally offer an actual class for all those inspired beginners. If you own a DSLR camera, but really aren't sure how to best take advantage of all its capabilities or features, then my class is for you. Check out all the details below and then send me an email to sign up. My first class is less than 10 days away, so don't delay!

Happy Mother's Day!

gorgeous [multiplied]

2011-01-02T16:27:00.000-08:00

I photographed this gorgeous family way back in August and I can assure you, they are all more gorgeous now than they were back then. You may remember the mom, Carey, from her maternity session HERE. See what I mean? More gorgeous!

wedding [bonanza]

2010-08-24T16:00:00.000-07:00

I've been a busy lady this summer! Don't miss a bunch of new wedding posts on my other blog at www.carolynegerszegi.com...

one year [already]?

2010-08-16T03:00:00.000-07:00

It seems like just yesterday that I was arriving at this family's house to take newborn photos of their little girl. And now look at her... one year old already? Isn't she sweet? I just love working with this family too. They're such a warm and loving family that my job is made easy. Spending time with them doesn't even feel work at all. Thanks for everthing Marie & Steve... I can't wait to see you guys again in the fall.

[awesome] family

2010-08-12T02:47:00.000-07:00

In my work as a photographer I love meeting new families, but it's a special treat to sometimes spend the day working with friends. The little girl in these photos is one of my daughter's best friends from preschool, so it was a lot of fun hanging out at Cleveland Dam with her and her mom and dad, taking photos and capturing all of their beauty and light with my camera. What an awesome family... it was great spending some time with you guys and I can't wait to get our girls together for a play when we return from Hungary. Smooches to you all - especially on B's mushy little cheeks! Mwah!

dogs, kids and cake [oh my!]

2010-08-11T02:36:00.000-07:00

I know I say this every time I post photos of a kid's birthday party, but I think they are one of the best occassions to hire a professional photographer. With all the decorations, presents, activities, family, friends and happy kids, it's a very photogenic day and a great opportunity to document a milestone in a child's life. This is the second time I've had the lucky opportunity to photograph this sweet boy's birthday and I'm so glad I was there. He's just a delightful little guy with a bright smile, a wonderful heart and a great love for Batman! What a fun day it was. Big hugs to you Bat Boy!

one gorgeous [little] man

2010-08-09T02:26:00.000-07:00

Another quick post while I'm on vacation in Hungary. I must admit I love newborn sessions. I mean who doesn't love to spend a few hours with a sweet, brand new, precious little baby (and then get to leave when the diapers need changing)?!? This little man was perfectly gorgeous and the awesome chair in the last few photos didn't hurt my enthusiasm either... wait for it...

the power of [bubbles]

2010-08-08T02:11:00.000-07:00

Another quick post while I'm on holidays in Hungary. We're heading to the cottage tonight where there is very limited internet access, so I will not be replying to emails with any frequency. Plus, I'm going to try something new and set up my blog to "auto post" a bunch of photos every other day or so. I probably won't be checking it, so if you notice anything strange in my posting then please send me an email to let me know?! Thanks!

Now, for more photos. I just love the power of bubbles! When it comes to children, nothing will make them light up faster than some wonderful bubbles floating and popping and swirling above a open field of green, green grass. Oh, and I love the artwork behind the two boys in the first couple of shots. Isn't it great? Give me a room with colourful art on the wall and you can be certain I'll put someone in front of it for a portrait... or two...

[time] flies

2010-08-05T01:56:00.000-07:00

One of the things I most enjoy about my photography business as it has grown is the opportunity to watch the families I am working with grow as well. This is the fourth time I have worked with this terrific family and when I started with them, the gorgeous little man in this first photo was still in his mama's belly. How time flies!
