• Welcome to the new blog!

    We'd like to officially introduce all of you CG bloggers to our brand new blog. We've been hard at work putting together a blog that will finally display our work to its fullest potential. We'd also like to introduce you to our newly designed Carignan Gallery logo. As we can imagine, 99.9% of everyone reading this has no clue how to pronounce our lastname, Carignan (Carry-en). We take no offense, but for this reason we have designed a contemporary mark that will help you identify us as "CG."

    With all of that said, welcome! We hope you like what you see and hope that you are looking forward to the many forms of art that will be posted here in the near future. We're very excited to share not only our photography, but our fine art and design as well!

    Wade & Stephanie Carignan

Rachel & Tanner

Indianapolis, IN

Please welcome Rachel and Tanner to the blog! (Steph and Tanner went to high school together back in the day, so she knew that it was going to be a session filled with laughs and goofiness!) These two were great in front of the camera together. We strolled around Broad Ripple during this beautiful spring evening and captured some really great shots of these two love birds. They truly are sweet for each other and we’re really looking forward to photographing their wedding this summer!

Thank you two for letting us create some awesome memories for you! Enjoy the teasers!

DeGeorge Maternity

Mount Prospect, IL

We’re very excited to share with you some great shots we took YESTERDAY of Katy & Frank’s maternity session! These two awesome love birds reached out to us recently after seeing their friends, Tesha & Tommy’s maternity session on our blog. We love when we get to photograph friends of friends… of friends! As I’m sure you will agree, Katy & Frank have an amazing nursery. While they’re not finding out the sex of the baby until its birth, the nursery will be prefect for whichever they bring home.  We’re so happy to have been able to capture these two for their maternity session. We’re definitely looking forward to taking their newborn photos as well!

Enjoy the teasers!

Everything about their nursery is awesome!

Hands down, one of the best onesies ever!

Gizmo was quite the model!

Please welcome back to the blog, the Robinson family! Mason did a wonderful job in front of the camera. He’s turning into quite the little man! We’re so happy to be able to capture this little guy grow up. This time around he really enjoyed putting his feet in his mouth, playing airplane with mom and being smooshed with love by both mom & dad! We hope you enjoy the teasers!

Choi Maternity

Chicago, IL

Let’s see… where should we begin with these two? Well, they’re pretty much awesome. If Tesha & Tommy look familiar to you, that’s because they were in one our fun Chicago weddings, Kristen & Craig Aberle’s! Since the wedding, Tesha has openly admitted to stalking our blog, so we couldn’t be happier to now be featuring her baby bump on here. We hope you like what you see… we sure do!

We were happy to get some photos of Tesha in her Grandfather’s hat.:)

We love this shot!

Riggs Family

St. Louis, MO

The beautiful Riggs family is back on the blog! Randy, Hannah and Mona welcomed baby Gavin into the world this past December of 2011. We were overwhelmed with joy to hear the news and to see his precious little face.

During our visit to St. Louis, we had a great time photographing their new addition, as well as the whole family. While we were there they took us on a tour of their place of work, World Impact of St. Louis, treated us to one of their favorite BBQ spots, Pappy’s Smokehouse, and then to a tour of the Anheuser Busch Brewery. We had a great time and we can’t wait for our next visit. We love you Riggs family!

Enjoy the teasers!
