We'd like to officially introduce all of you CG bloggers to our brand new blog. We've been hard at work putting together a blog that will finally display our work to its fullest potential. We'd also like to introduce you to our newly designed Carignan Gallery logo. As we can imagine, 99.9% of everyone reading this has no clue how to pronounce our lastname, Carignan (Carry-en). We take no offense, but for this reason we have designed a contemporary mark that will help you identify us as "CG."
With all of that said, welcome! We hope you like what you see and hope that you are looking forward to the many forms of art that will be posted here in the near future. We're very excited to share not only our photography, but our fine art and design as well!
Wade & Stephanie Carignan
Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you know that we will be releasing our new website soon! Below is a glimpse of what it will look like. Also, the new website’s main URL will be www.cgindy.com and our blog will soon be switching to www.cgindy.com/blog. If you happen to forget, don’t worry, you will still be able to access the new website by using www.carignangallery.com.
Clear as mud?? Thanks for reading, we appreciate your attention!

We’d like to introduce the next up and coming Piano Rock music artist… Joel Hutton!
We recently had the pleasure of photographing Joel and getting a taste of his fun personality. He will be releasing a new album entitled “Increasing Motion” soon and he needed some photos for the design. His beautiful wife Maggie came along as the executive hair & wardrobe manager, which was GREAT for us! 
We had a great time with Joel and we highly suggest you stay tuned for his new website and album coming soon! Until then, check him out at www.facebook.com/joelhutton
Thanks Joel and we look forward to working with you again! Enjoy the teasers.
Show us some love and leave a few comments!

Michael Chamberlain (a.k.a Māja 7th)
As you may remember, a few months ago we photographed Māja 7th’s promotional photos for his professional career as a Hip-Hop Producer. Well the time has come for him to release his national debut, The Breakout… and we’re proud to announce that we designed the album cover & his new logo!
The album is composed of local Chicago rap artists rhyming to Māja 7th’s beats. So, if you’re any kind of a Hip-Hop fan, be sure to listen & download ‘The Breakout’ here. Michael is a super talented producer and has a huge career ahead of him. Show your support by sharing his music with all of your friends. We hope you enjoy the album!
Let us know what you think! More design projects to come…
Chesterfield/Middletown, IN
Look! It’s Josmar & Darren! As many of you may or may not know, Darren is a long time best friend of mine since high school. He was my best man in our wedding and has since evolved a lasting friendship with Stephanie. Now he will soon be tying the knot with his beautiful Venezuelan chica, Josmar. We’re definitely looking forward to watching them grow in their relationship together.
We love you both and can’t wait to be a part of your new lives together. (Stephanie made me say “love”)
We were finally able to take some serious shots…
Leave some love! We love comments!

Lafayette, IN
Meet the Hochstetler’s! Troy & Shari with their two little girls, Kyla & Ashlyn, invited us into their beautiful home for family photos. This family holds a dear place to our hearts considering they were one of our very very first families to photograph when we first started 3 years ago. When we heard the wonderful news about their newest addition to the family, little Ashlyn, we were so happy to be photographing their family once more.
We had so much fun on this beautiful fall day. The weather was perfect and so we took the action to a nearby park so Kyla could play on the swings. The Hochstetler’s are an amazing family and have always been so wonderful to work with. Thank you guys for choosing us again to capture your beautiful family and we hope you enjoy the teasers!
Show us some love and leave a comment! They are always appreciated!
