MODE De VIE Studio by Carolyn Buhrow

As a Photographer, I've been trying to set professional goals.
Some small, some a bit more lofty!
There is a Photography Magazine, Click Magazine, that I had long subscribed to. It is an international publication.
It is print quarterly, and also online. I love publications that are still in print! I feel photos should be seen that way still.
What I also like about this publication is that is afemale run and operated!
Click Magazine has a program known as Click Pro Elite, a group of select talented and passionate photographers from around the world.
You can apply to be one of their members.
I put it off for a few years, too much self doubt!
To be accepted into this level within Click Pro, you have to submit 150 images, which will then be evaluated by a panel of judges, scored on 7 different photography elements, and need to receive a certain score to then be accepted as a member of their ELITE team.
I mustered up the courage, submitted my images ( which was hard for me to objectively choose which photos I wanted scrutinized!), and then forgot about it.
A few days later, I found the sweetest notification in my emails-
I was accepted!
I earned my CLICK PRO ELITE BADGE !
I'm still learning what the next steps are and can't wait to participate and learn from some of the most incredible Photogs from around the globe!

Always hard to choose, but here are a few favorites from a recent in-home Family /Newborn Session.
Getting 5 year old twins, a 2 year old and a newborn (plus mom and dad and Grandma) to get into sync is not always an easy task but we did it!!

Aren't they the sweetest ,fun, loving young family?!?

I started photographing Mom and Dad , years ago, before they were Mom and Dad!
I was lucky enough to do their Engagement photos many years ago and look at them now!

I'm going to try and get caught up with sharing some of my favorite Fall families and Xmas galleries from the past few months.

I love my Legacy families- the ones I've been photographing for several years. I may only see them once a year, but it truly makes me so happy to see them and hear what they've been up to, and how the kids have grown!

This was a "sort of " windy day, but we really got some beautiful photos at one of my favorite locations ! And THIS is why I love Golden Hour !
