charity: water [happy birthday to me]

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.

Visit my donation page HERE.

Every drop counts. Thanks! xoxoxox c

[THE CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED - CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR WINNERS, MELODY AND JONATHAN. WE LOOK FORWARD TO CAPTURING SOME AMAZING MEMORIES WITH YOU!]

Simply click HERE to visit our contest entry page. Tell us about your plans for your wedding day so we can get to know you better. Then, tell us your idea for a memorable engagement session. Perhaps it's a re-creation of your first date, or a re-enactment of your proposal, or a romantic picnic in a beautiful location. Whatever it is, make it creative, make it romantic or make it beautiful. In other words, make it something we want to capture with our cameras.

introducing [www.carolynegerszegi.com]

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!

fall mini sessions [granville island]

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!
