Huge Announcement!
Thursday, July 23, 2009

Hi everyone!

I have a HUGE announcement to make that's been a long time coming! I have teamed up with Zekeshem Parsons of Blue Lane Photography to create a brand new company called Room 3307, dedicated exclusively to boudoir photography!!

Don't worry, I will still be shooting weddings and portraits under Carolina Araujo | photographer but all boudoir inquiries should be sent to reservations@Room3307.com.

Months in the making, we are thrilled to finally announce the launch of our website, blog, and first boudoir marathon, which will be taking place on August 22nd in Tampa, FL.

Haven't heard of boudoir photography? Learn all about it by checking out our website at www.Room3307.com. Become a fan of our page on Facebook and keep up with all the latest news on our blog! (http://www.room3307blog.com)

We're super excited to be bringing this service to women not only in Tampa, but all over FL and even nationwide! Be sure to contact us if you'd like more information, or just want to know more about what we're doing. We look forward to hearing from you, and appreciate your support and love as we launch our new business! Spread the word!! A couple samples are below, but you'll find MUCH more on our website!

Also, check out our slideshow promo:

I know that I've been away for a little bit and but now you know why! We've been busy bees dotting all our i's and crossing all our t's for our boudoir site launch. I'll be back soon with a couple of engagement sessions and some cutie patootie children!

New Feature
Friday, May 23, 2008

Want to know how to kill time on a 7 hour flight when you can't sleep? Edit pictures and make a slide show! Unfortunately, I was only able to kill 2 hours of my flight time since my laptop battery died. Scroll down to the end of Liliana's maternity post to see a small slide show I put together. Just click the play button on the bottom right hand corner to start automatically, or click through the pictures manually. I'm very excited about my new feature. I've been wanting to incorporate a nice big slide show at the end of all my sessions but hadn't found the right software or even how to post it on Blogger.

I don't do this enough but I want to encourage you to leave me a comment and let me know what you think of the new feature or anything else that's on your mind!

Taking Baby Steps
Sunday, April 13, 2008

Today I woke up with an extra pep in my step and decided to get the proverbial ball rolling. It's a baby step, but nonetheless, exciting for me. I registered a domain with GoDaddy. For the time being, the web address is redirecting you right back to this blogspot address. I also wanted to snatch it up before another Carolina Araujo came along and claimed it! So here it is, please bookmark me!

My new email address is:

MOO..Not Just For Cows Anymore..
Friday, April 11, 2008

I think that one of the most important parts of any business is branding. To have a common thread running through your materials, whether it be your website, blog, business cards, note cards; basically something that brings it all together. Even though I firmly believe this to be true, I am not at the point right now where I can make concrete decisions on who I am as an aspiring photographer. In part, that is the purpose of this blog, to track my progress and growth. I am still very much learning daily. Developing a style is not something that happens overnight.

So this is my time to play. I can change my header everyday if I want, change my color scheme if I feel like it, or order teeny, tiny, not-your-everyday business cards! I came across MOO Cards on Flickr's main page. So what the heck are MOO Cards? Well, they are the size of a regular business card if you cut it down the middle lenghtwise. You can choose to upload your own images or pick from their graphics. Most of all, they are cute little conversation starters! I ordered my first pack of 100 about 2 weeks ago and I just received them today. The company is based out of London and basic shipping is takes 5-10 business days.

You better believe I was running to the mail every single day for the last 2 weeks, and every single day I returned empty handed and sad. I'm glad to say that they were worth the wait. Not only are they super cute, but the print quality is excellent and the paper is sturdy.
