Jamie and Chris are getting married this November at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Carpe Vita Photography has the great pleasure of photographing everything for them. We started with an engagement session last month while they were in town making plans. We really enjoyed spending time with them and they handled the Texas heat quite nicely.

Of course, we always love it when a couple is able to completely relax in front of our cameras and just enjoy themselves and each other.

Got to have a slideshow!

And for Jamie and Chris’ friends and family who want to pre-register to be notified when the wedding photos are ready to view, just click here and you will be taken to Pictage, our online proofing partner. After the wedding, an email will be sent to you letting you know the photos are available for viewing.

Class of 2009 mark your calendars for Carpe Vita Photography’s one day super summer sale being held Thursday, June 19th from 9am – 9pm.  That day only, all senior sessions (including Add-on Sessions) are 60% off.  To qualify, sessions must be pre-paid and must be scheduled by August 1, 2008.  Carpe Vita Photography takes all credit cards and cash or checks can be dropped off at our Grapevine studio between the hours of the sale.

Here’s a copy of the promotional material regarding this sale that was sent to select local seniors for more info.  You might notice, that if you miss the June 19th sale, we still have other summer session discounts taking place, they just aren’t as significant as the June 19th sale.

If you have any questions regarding the different Carpe Vita Photography senior sessions and what might fit your wants and needs best, give us a call at either 214.245.4606 or 817.410.9975.

Due to a lot going on at Carpe Vita Photography and the busy Peyton Thomas Salon schedule, Rachael’s Class of 2009 model session had to be split over two different days earlier this month. We started on a Monday evening just as the sun was setting for some really pretty light.

We kept going as the sunset for a Twilight Session.

Tuesday, Rachael started at Peyton Thomas Salon in Southlake to have her hair and make-up professionally done.

Then we were off to the Carpe Vita Photography studio for the second half of her model session.

Rachael spied our LoveSac when she came for her model interview and loved it so we had to incorporate it into her session.

Then we ran over to the Grapevine train yard because we thought her dress was the perfect compliment for this setting.

To see more of the fun Rachael had and some more great photos of her, check out her slideshow.

Last evening the DFW Chapter of NACE sponsored a party in honor NACE’s 50th Anniversary. The party was held at FIG and provided attendees a peek into each of the 5 decades that NACE members have wowed clients with their talents and creativity. As one would expect, many of the top catering and event professionals from the Dallas area were there. The food, beverages, and entertainment were spectacular!

We set up a “photo booth” in the 2000s decade room. The incredibly creative team from Fauxcades not only provided a beautiful and unique lounge setting in the room, they also came up with an amazing design for the “photo booth” that came complete with a custom arrow sign pointing the way. If you ever plan an event and want great decor, give the folks at Fauxcades a call. Applause to the Fauxcades team: Sandra, Katie, Raymond, Robert, and all their crew.

Here’s a little slide show with a few of my favorites from the booth photos:

And here’s the link to all the images from the booth.

Enjoy!

Erica is one of our Carpe Vita Senior models for the Class of 2009. We photographed her back in April and had a great time. We have been a little crazy lately and are just getting these photos posted.

We started at Peyton Thomas Salon in Southlake for her hair and make-up. All of our models get the royal treatment in line with our top session – the Metropolitan which includes their hair and make-up being done by professionals. Thanks Amy – you did a great job and Erica especially loved the extra eyelashes.

Then we visited a Grapevine location for a little country look.

From there we headed to Downtown Dallas for some fun shots at some creative locations to make this a one of a kind experience for Erica and to ensure her senior photography stands out from her friends. Carpe Vita Photography’s Metropolitan session includes up to four hours of photography at the local city destination of the senior’s choice. This session can be split over two different times for different looks but did it all at one time with Erica.

Thanks for being such a great model Erica – we really had fun working with you.

Here is a quick slideshow to show more of the photos from Erica’s session.
