Welcome to the new blog!

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!

We recently took a short trip to Chicago to photograph Gina & Kyle’s engagement session and had a wonderful time with the two! We got to experience their area of Lincoln Square and found a lot of unique photo opportunities for this refreshing couple. Luckily it wasn’t as windy as we had anticipated.

Thank you guys for a great session! We wish you nothing but happiness on your wedding day!

The Hochstetler Family

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!

The Ricks Family

Greenfield, IN

We had a very nice afternoon visit with the Ricks family recently at their beautiful home in Greenfield. They had a nice country setting with a lot of photo opportunities, which we were very excited about. Diana, David and Spencer were great to work with… and to all our young lady blog readers, if we’re not mistaken, Spencer is on the market. :)

We hope you enjoy the teasers!

We would like to thank Lizz and Fred for reaching out to us to photograph their beautiful family, including their ever so precious grandchildren, E’mon and Malachi. We really enjoyed our studio session with this musically talented family. We captured some amazing moments with the little ones and their instruments. We are especially proud of the moments caught of the E’mon and Malachi strumming Fred’s guitars. We hope you enjoy the teasers!

The White Family

Anderson, IN

Meet Jama, Brian and Keller… the White Family. The White’s are friends of ours, so we were definitely excited when they asked us to photograph them! Both Stephanie and I first met Brian back in our Ball State days where we all shared fine art classes together. These days, Brian and I work as full time designers at a marketing agency (at least until I’m ready to go full time with CG!) Needless to say, we all met downtown Anderson to kick things off and as of course, little Keller stole the show. This little guy was a champ… so good that at the end of our session he was given a massive lollipop, most of which he wore. :)

Thanks for the opportunity and we hope you guys enjoy the photos!
