While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.
And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” Luke 2:6-12
I cannot believe it has been over a month since I have posted.... have you missed me?! ;)
I hope you are having a fabulous and Christ-filled December as we get very close to Christmas - 11 days!! Nathan & I have been trying to slow down to enjoy this sweet time of the year and hope you can say the same.
I wanted to let you know I am alive! And Cargle Photography is doing absolutely great. We have officially wrapped up 2010 sessions {with the exceptions of my December newborns!} and am so blessed by my amazing clients.
Speaking of how amazing you are, I hope you all are offering much grace as I work through the details of all the new-ness that's on it's way to Cargle Photography. I've realized how not internet/website savvy I am and how I'm even more thankful for people who know more than I do!
I hope to be back up to updating very soon - with TONS of posts! {I have over 25 that need to be blogged! Geesh!}
Much Love, Nathan & Erika
** If you are interested in booking a 2011 Session, keep checking back as 2011 prices will be available come the New Year! Cannot wait to share all the new and exciting things coming for Cargle Photography!
Please forgive me as it's been a while since I have updated, apparently blogspot has a limit of how many pictures you are allowed to post for free...and apparently Cargle Photography has exceeded the limit. {Wow, it seems like that was fast!}
...meaning, it will not allow me to upload any more pictures!!
Please offer grace to my photography blog - it will be going through a face lift very soon! As soon as I get it upgraded/renewed you will see lots of new pictures as we have been as busy as the crazy squirels in my backyard this fall! :)
Meet the adorably cute Landfair Sisters!! These two wonderful girls are in mine & Nathan's Youth Group & we are absolutely loving getting to know them. They are so fun, sweet spirited, genuinely kind, loving, giggly, and all around just SISTERS! I had a great time with them at Duke Park {Troy, Ohio} - despite the crazy high winds and extremely low temperatures for it being October 3rd!! They were good sports as we worked to tame the hair and "not look cold" from the wind and get some awesome shots! I hope you all LOVE them :)
** PS - still some openings for this weekend's Holiday Mini-Sessions, see below or click here for details!! Email me with questions! **
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… well at least at the mall and my friend Caralee’s house anyways! I’ve had had a flood of phone calls and emails requesting fall pictures for Christmas Cards and I cannot figure out a way to accommodate everyone as we are running out of weekends…so I have an idea to accomodate the most clients possible! I will be offering two days of Mini Sessions!
{Why Mini Sessions?}
Cargle Photography has had So much interest in scheduling for the Fall 2010 season that is now all but impossible to fit everyone in who wants Christmas Pictures before it gets too cold! {A great big THANK YOU to all my clients and referrals and those interested in booking me! I am so very thankful!} I literally only have a few hours still available, which means I can capture families and children quickly if we do them as Mini Sessions.
{What is a Mini Session?}
Mini sessions are quick and for the most part casual. These mini sessions can be used for anything you'd like...baby, family, siblings, couples, furry friends, etc. For this specific session we will be focusing on images for your 2010 Christmas cards!!
**Several back-to-back sessions will be booked on this day, so it is important that you are on time for your appointment.
{How are these different from regular sessions?}
Mini sessions differ from my full sessions in many ways...
My full sessions are one hour or more, and are personal to you and your family. They take place in your home, or at a location of your choice. The typical gallery from a full session is around 30-50 images depending on the type of session. For a mini session you will receive 10-20 fully enhanced images on a disc.
{Details}
* Mini Sessions are 20-25 minutes and will result in approximately 10-20 fully enhanced images. However, the number of images may vary with each session.
* Completion time is 2-3 weeks.
* Due to the limited time frame, you will need to come in the outfit you want to be photographed in and there will be no outfit changes. {Please visit my website for tips and ideas on what to wear. www.carglephotography.com and is under the ‘details’ tab.}
* For up to four people. There is a $10 fee for every additional person.
* Assorted posed and candid shots.
* There will be a few props on-hand (different chairs/furniture, ornaments, baskets, blankets, a small outdoor scene to put us in the Christmas spirit, etc. If you have an idea of something specific, please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate!)
* Payment in full is due at the time of your session. Cash or checks are the only accepted form of payment; please make checks payable to ‘Erika Cargle’.
{Cost and Location}
The cost is $50 and they will be on-location at my home {in the backyard for families / children & inside for babies}.
{Session Includes…}
* Time and processing
* Assistant on hand to help entertain the kids
* 10 - 20 final fully enhanced and edited images on a CD with print release
* The following prints:
1 8x10 : 2 5x wallets {two poses chosen by you}
* Christmas Card layout drafts {please inquire for pricing ahead of time if interested}.
{You are also able to order additional items as well: more prints (please ask for my price list), photo books, canvas gallery wraps, Christmas cards, etc.}
{Mini Sessions times / dates available}
You will want to schedule quickly, as I have lots of clients on a waiting list! These are for the most part the last appointments that I still have available (with the exception of newborns) between now and the end of 2010… Where has 2010 gone?!
{If you have something you would like to work on scheduling for the spring / summer of next year, please let me know and I can provide you with my 2011 prices!}

This is Courtney and Phillip. They've been married about 4ish months and Courtney decided she needed some pictures to hang in their home that were not all from their wedding day. And Phillip was roped into was super willing to come and smile with his Bride :) Either way, I'm so glad I got to hang out with them! I hope you all love your pictures, they turned out so good. You make a beautiful couple!
I had a blast with these two little guys running around Cox Arboretum in West Carrolton, OH. They were so fun and full of energy – and who couldn’t love those smiles!!?? You could definitely a sweet brotherly bond that will last a life time between them. Mom & Dad, I hope you love them and we cannot wait to take your family pictures soon!
Nathan & I had a great time with this sweet family at Carriage Hill! They were so fun and truly a pleasure to work with. They are all such beautiful people with beautiful smiles, it made our job a breeze :) I loved how much they love each other and how sweet little Sarah is truly the baby of the family. I hope you guys LOVE your pictures, they turned out so good!
