I cannot STOP taking pictures of my kids! Today is all about Georgie. She is the most visually crazy little girl I think I have ever photographed. I can’t get enough of her! She had gymnastics today and they let me shoot her, which is SO awesome because normally parents are supposed to be up in the ‘observation room’ where I am normally texting away and catching up with photography magazines. But since getting the D3 (yes, it is ALL about the D3!!) I can’t stop shooting. I feel like FINALLY things are as I see them!

So enjoy more of my girl!

Robin Dini Photography — awesome! that's how i felt when you let me tool around with it at the restaurant. It's such an amazing creative tool. The shot of her stretching and touching her toes, amazing. LOVE IT! Now you can start filling those walls in your home with some hella cool pictures girlfriend.   ( February 29, 2008 @ 7:02 pm )

carla ten eyck photography studio OPENING!

So for the past year or so me and a whole crew of people have been busting our humps on designing and remodeling what is shaping up to be my brand spanking new kick ASS studio!! I can’t even begin to explain what a process this has been for me, my family and everyone that’s been a part of it- and there have been tons of people involved!

I haven’t blogged about it yet, not sure why really… maybe it’s because of the whole ‘big reveal’ culture we live in now, it’s sometime way more exciting to have that then the slow and arduous up to date posts of ’so now I have decided on my flooring…’ kind of posts. I had to put so many people through the stress of what to pick, what not to pick, will my clients like it? Will I like it in 5 years? … kind of constant drivel, I guess I figured I would spare whoever out there reads this, for a bit anyway….;)

I am hosting a studio open house on Saturday March 8th and have sent out evites and just word of mouth to as many of you who’s info I have- but if I have not and you would like to attend just shoot me an email and I can get you the info! carlateneyck@comcast.net

I am so excited to see it all come together in the end, the walls all freshly painted, lighting fixtures in, fabulous mantle and floor and staircase- all recycled barn wood- all brand new images on the walls… but mostly the energy that everyone in attendance will bring to it-and of COURSE there will be a Carla Ten Eyck style photo booth in full effect, with a little twist!

snow day










This is what having a snow day is all about! Not going outside and getting all cold, noooooo……! But staying in my jammies ALL DAY and cuddling with my monkeys and shooting with my super fun toys. (d3 + 85 1.4 combo switched up with the 14-24 2.8) What’s not to love about that scenario?

Of course they were more than game to play, and were so excited for Mommy to not have to work and to actually say yes to jumping on my bed!

I was working though, just a little. I had learned a while back from Mike Colon about how he programs his back auto focus button to do all of the focus and his shutter release is only that, for the shutter. Makes total sense to me NOW, back then I just didn’t grasp the concept for some reason but now it is an amazing new way to shoot and hold focus and not lose the moment at all. So of course I want to get as much shooting in doing this as possible while also working a brand new camera body. There are a lot of similarities to the D200 (my main work horses last year) and the D3 but there are just enough differences where I want to know my gear like the back of my hand. Last year I had it down, and could switch stuff up intuitively without really even thinking about it.

So I will be a shooting fool, as much as I can do whenever, where ever WHO ever! Be prepared for it!

On a side note- last night’s PUG meeting at Greg Weed’s house in Monroe was outstanding! Greg & his wife Dana were such gracious hosts, provided such delicious food and we had a ton of new people in attendance!

Robin Dini Photography — these are amazing. can't wait to play on a snow day with my monkeys. Dude, seriously, I want that camera, or just the lens. It's sick. I was watching frank from across the room and I wanted to take a picture but it wouldn't have come out in my brain the way I want it like the D3. That 1.4 is just...oooooh! the goose bumps!   ( February 22, 2008 @ 3:48 pm )

Orchard Cove Photography — Holy Toledo these are beautiful - especially Georgie by the window and the last one of Jack...really awesome awesome stuff. Enjoy the movie! xo   ( February 22, 2008 @ 3:50 pm )

Bruce Thivierge — Carla I totally cracked up when I read this 'cause I've been doing the SAME thing since I got back from the seminar! (Minus the D3 of course, don't have one yet.) But I re-programmed the focus on the D200 and borrowed Val's 85mm 1.4 and I've been shooting like crazy ever since ;)

Love the shots, and the kiddies are adorable!   ( February 22, 2008 @ 4:37 pm )

Jacob Bergmeier — Ditto to you and Bruce on the auto focus trick... [b]ecker had that about a week ago on his b-school and JBraga re-tweeked my interest in in yesterday at the PUG meeting to figure it out.... haven't put the camera down since.

PS... you rocked those shots.   ( February 22, 2008 @ 4:45 pm )

Carla Ten Eyck — YAY! I love that I wasn't the only total nerd obsessing over this... ;)

I can't wait to shoot more tomorrow- I may have to get my little guy snowboarding with his daddy-o tomorrow....ooohhhhh!!! So exciting!   ( February 22, 2008 @ 5:13 pm )

Robert J. Trenske — Hey Carla, these pictures are really georgeous. It was so good to finally meet you this week at the Mike Colon event and then again last night. It's funny that you mentioned the back auto focus button. It is really going to change the way I shoot and going to take a little getting used to, but I think it is a good thing. Anyways, I hope to talk to you soon!!   ( February 22, 2008 @ 6:25 pm )

STEVE DePINO — Such a great job on these!!! I love all of them!!!   ( February 23, 2008 @ 12:13 am )

Candace Jeffery Photography — Your kids are too cute! I really have to try that new focus thing too.   ( February 23, 2008 @ 11:41 am )

Sam Chinigo — Hey C..Love, love, love all of them!! So, just wondering...does everything you do just rock or what? BTW..you and Steve are welcome on that glass clinking thing. ;-)   ( February 23, 2008 @ 1:42 pm )

Carla Ten Eyck — Oh don't think I forgot about that Sam! That was too funny, did you see Steve blush?

OK, me too... ;)


and thank you all so much for the compliments, it really means a lot :)   ( February 23, 2008 @ 3:46 pm )

Mary Marantz — yay! I'm not spamming you anymore! Sooo like I was telling you, these are AWESOME!! That one of Georgie by the window is BEAU-TI-FUL!!!

love you!

raw photo design — hey carla. your little twerps are so lucky to have such a cool mama with a d3 that takes such amazing photos. sorry I missed you at the last PUG, are you going to Meg's house on the 1st?   ( February 24, 2008 @ 8:51 am )

nikki nicole photography — hey girl love all of them specially the one of georgie by the window. oh btw i changed my focus button too after the seminar it now makes sense to my why you do that!!!   ( February 24, 2008 @ 7:12 pm )

E. Broderick Photography — These are so beautiful. The first one is almost haunting...so pretty. I am dying to learn more about this back-focusing...   ( March 3, 2008 @ 6:35 pm )
