For some reason, I really like the last one.
Thanks for sharing!! I love your work, especially the maternity and family shots. Oh, who am I kidding, I like all of them!!
AWESOME!
Really beautiful, inspiring photos – Best to you in 2010
I’m impreesed..every picture can be associate with the word “LIFE”
Thank you so much everyone, I REALLY appreciate your support and your kind words!
I am usually a tad bit picky with design and photography websites. Yours is one of my favorites. You have wonderful work.
I love your work. I will be bookmarking this entry for some inspiration in the coming year. Just love the freshness of it and the fun and different ideas.
LOVE YOUR WORK…
EVER THINK ABOUT CREATING A BEST OF (ALL) BOOK–
would love to see them all in a blurb (or other) book– to buy.
I get so inspired by your work!!!
Beautiful Images! Bold and colourful, dramatic black and whites – just gorgeous work! Looking forward to your 2010 images!
Thanks again everyone! Tammy I am so flattered, and to answer your question, I never thought of doing that. I just thought think I’m up to par with those who do have published work. But I’m having fun, and I just want to get better
Kevin thank you! I love your Contax images! I am really considering getting one someday : )
Bestill my heart Caroline! These images are gorgeous! I’m sitting here in total awe of how lucky you are to be able to capture life everyday and make people happy as a result! it’s a wonderful gift!

Yep. I was blown away…again. Awesome year for you! I must say 2009 was such a blessed year for me! ANd part of that was being exposed to THE Caroline Ghettes! Sa-weet!

but wow SO many favs you are INSPIRING and like the others said you DO need to be published!
Honored to be your friend!
Caroline, Your photography BLOWS ME AWAY !!! My favorite is the baby/mommy feet. I have to go get a tissue you now because your baby shots got me all sappy and weepy. These pictures could cause a HUGE baby boom !
Love these!! Can I ask a question? Did you use all natural lighting for these, or did you use a flash or studio lights?
Susan, 95% of the images in this post are using available natural lighting
The b&w shot of the family of four jumping, the girl in the green dress with the birdhouse, and the same girl in the yellow dress inside the barn were all lit with a Canon 580 EXII flash & Pocket Wizard Plus II’s.
Amazing pictures. are they all taken in N Carolina?
AWWW! 6 of them were of me and/or Tobi!!!
I love all of them, GORGEOUS!!!

Welcome to my ninth installment of Recipe Mondays! This week, we are going to practice on baby Kosta using Totally Rad Actions . Isn’t he just a dream? Here we go!
The Original SOOC (Straight-Out-Of-Camera):
I used CS4’s clonestamp tool to get rid of the distractions in the photo.
Next I did a curve adjustment via CS4 with...

That’s a very sweet photo. Looks great! Love the complete step-by-step.
I so love the feeling this images gives, timeless and warm. The only thing I would revisit is the Clone Stamp, I can still see where the outlets were. Thank you for the step by step, I’m going right now to try this look on a few images of my own.
It’s really lovely Caroline! I really like the warm tone to it….what a little sweetheart
That’s the difference between photography and custom photography… makes it a real work of art!! I love recipe monday!
WOW!! That is the most ADORABLE baby I have ever seen. But then again I may be biased b/c I am his mommy.
Caroline, great pic!! Cannot wait to see more. We really enjoyed our session and are so excited about seeing more images.
Love to see how other photographers do their stuff! Great job! Jane
Thank you everyone! Chris, thank you for letting me know, however it’s so strange but I REALLY can’t see it from my monitor at all. The only thing I’m thinking is maybe my monitor is brighter and you can’t see imperfections as well on maybe other monitors that may be darker and show more? I’ll see if I can perfect it, otherwise ; )
