As the days get longer and warmer, the world around us starts to come back to life with blooming flowers, chirping birds, and the birth of baby animals!  What could be more adorable than newborn babies AND baby animals?!?!?!?!!  I had fun putting together a little spring collection of images thanks to my good friend and incredible artist, Sasha Chomakov.

Idaho Falls, ID Newborn Infant Baby Child Photographer | NELLY

Monday, August 29, 2022

Miss Nelly was born on the 4th of July just after 6:30 in the morning, weighing in at 6 pounds and 6 ounces!  To celebrate her very special birthday we just had to do some Independence Day inspired photos.  She looks so cute in red, white and blue!!!!!!!!

This beautiful girl did so great during her newborn portrait session at my photography studio in Idaho Falls, ID!  She was content and sleepy and even gave me a smile!!!  Enjoy a look at Nelly:

Nelly’s mom mentioned that her nursery is a pink and green cactus theme and when I saw the picture I knew exactly what I wanted to do to create a fun and unique art piece for the wall!!!!!  Give me ALL the succulents, cactus and pink blossoms!!!!!  Isn’t Nelly just a doll?!?!?  I had so much fun creating this set up that I turned it into a digital backdrop so my friends and fellow photographers can use it too!!!!!!!!  You can find it here.  Thanks for stopping by my blog, I have the best job ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NEW Holiday Digital Backgrounds by Caralee Case at INTUITION BACKGROUNDS

Friday, December 4, 2020

Have you ever tried using a digital background?  I love that they can be so quick and easy as seen in this video tutorial.  In this case, I’ve designed the images with my props, flowers, greenery, layers, bowls, furs, etc, and photographed it with my big beefy camera.  All YOU have to do is insert your own newborn photo! (Examples below)  Today the NEW Holiday Digital Backgrounds are available!!!!!!!!  I love traditional Christmas colors like red and green, but I also like to use different, fun and unique color combinations to add variety to the holiday season portrait options.

New to digital backgrounds?  Here is a quick VIDEO TUTORIAL and some visual samples of how digital backgrounds work:

This design below is SO MUCH FUN!!!!  I added Christmas decorations to 2 different versions of this background, and then took it all away to create a simpler year-round option:

Here are some other samples of the NEW Holiday Designs in use:

Idaho Falls, ID Newborn Child Photographer | PERFECTLY POLKA DOT BACKDROPS

Friday, October 30, 2020

I am so grateful that Intuition Backgrounds invited me to create a collection of backdrops.  I knew immediately that I wanted polka dot backdrops in my most used and requested colors!!!!  And here they are…..introducing Perfectly Polka Dots:

These backdrops are SO MUCH FUN!!!! I have been searching for the perfect shade of pink, something that reminds me of fresh raspberries, and it’s finally here!!!!  It photographs beautifully!

I love a tack sharp image with a dreamy, soft, blurry backdrop.  Compared to the rest of the backdrops in my studio, I made this one a little more green and the color is simply divine!!!!!!! 

This soft purple is a wonderful lavender color:

The denim dots are a MUST HAVE for every studio!  Of course this beautiful blue is perfect for boys, but it is just as perfect for GIRLS!!!!!  This is my most used and requested backdrop!

This backdrop is a soft bubblegum pink color. It’s not too warm and not too cool, just a pretty and precious shade of baby pink.

Another one of my most requested backdrops is Young Love.  I’ve always thought is was the perfect shade of yellow.

The new yellow polka backdrop is a bit softer and more gender friendly (no hearts!), but still a beautiful shade of yellow!!!!  Add a little saturation in post processing if you like to make the yellow polka dots as bright as you’d like!!!!  This backdrop adds sunshine to any set, and works for all genders!!!!!! Looking for the perfect purple?  Well here it is!   Purple meets a touch of pink in this backdrop to create a beautiful shade of lavender.

And here are some more samples of the gorgeous, gender friendly polka dot, Caribbean.

 

Thank you to Intuition for allowing me to create these backdrops, in colors that will get LOTS of use in my studio!  I hope you love them as much as I do!!!!!!!!

Student Workshop Review ~ Caralee Case Photography

Monday, July 29, 2019

I have been teaching photography workshops since 2012, and it has been amazing!! Watching ‘my’ students grow, hone their craft, and reach the level of quality and success they desire makes me SO happy. I say ‘my’ students, because I love and care about EACH ONE of my students! Even long after our workshop has taken place, I’m there to continue the learning and support of the students; to be their cheerleader, advisor, friend, brainstorm helper, an ear to vent their troubles too, whatever they need. I LOVE teaching!!! It is in my heart, it is in my blood, I am passionate about it, and I strive to always give 150%!

 

A few days ago I received this message from a July 2019 workshop student, and wanted to share it with you!

Caralee Case Photography’s Custom Flash Drives from USB Memory Direct

Monday, February 25, 2019

Hi friends, I’d like you to meet my custom USB drives! Idaho Falls ID Newborn Baby Children Birthday Cake Smash Family Photographer ~ Caralee Case photography

They are the little handy tools that help me deliver high-quality digital photos to my clients. I have used flash drives from USB Memory Direct since 2014, and I absolutely love them! As a colorful, bold, whimsical newborn photographer, these flash drives fit my branding colors and business perfectly. They represent a little bit of me every time I hand them over to a client.Idaho Falls ID Newborn Baby Children Birthday Cake Smash Family Photographer ~ Caralee Case photography

One of the main reasons I love flash drives SO much is that they work on all computers. Many new computers and laptops, including my own new laptop, no longer have disc drives, making it impossible to transfer my clients’ photos using a CD. USBs, on the other hand, work on all devices that have a USB port.Idaho Falls ID Newborn Baby Children Birthday Cake Smash Family Photographer ~ Caralee Case photography

I also love that I was able to custom design the front AND the back of each drive.  The back includes a little thank you message.Idaho Falls ID Newborn Baby Children Birthday Cake Smash Family Photographer ~ Caralee Case photography

When I deliver digital images and products to my clients, they receive a colorfully bag with the USB drive, a Thank You card, and a print release.   Along with all the other fun products they ordered.Idaho Falls ID Newborn Baby Children Birthday Cake Smash Family Photographer ~ Caralee Case photography

I truly adore packaging these flash drives in little custom tins that secure the flash drive in place. It also ensures that the flash drives will stay protected when I mail them to my clients. Idaho Falls ID Newborn Baby Children Birthday Cake Smash Family Photographer ~ Caralee Case photography

I always feel like I am handing over a luxury product to my clients because of the sleek and simple design of the drives. And they are customized with my colors and logo which makes them perfect!Idaho Falls ID Newborn Baby Children Birthday Cake Smash Family Photographer ~ Caralee Case photography

I want to thank USB Memory Direct for supplying me with awesome flash drives. Not once have I had a USB go bad on me, and the drives are always reliable and fast. Plus, they have great packaging options. I highly recommend their products!Idaho Falls ID Newborn Baby Children Birthday Cake Smash Family Photographer ~ Caralee Case photographyIdaho Falls ID Newborn Baby Children Birthday Cake Smash Family Photographer ~ Caralee Case photography

ARGENTINA Congreso Smile Photography Conference and Workshop March 2018 | CARALEE CASE

Monday, April 9, 2018

In late March I had the opportunity to present at the Congreso Smile Conference in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and also give 2 full day newborn posing and editing workshops!  At the first workshop we had the sweetest baby boys come model for us.   They didn’t want to sleep at first, but eventually they gave in and posed beautifully for us.

He didn’t want to sleep as I was getting ready to lay him down onto the posing fabric, so I was talking to him softly and he gave me the sweetest smile!  I am so glad this moment was captured, and I hope that it shows how much I truly LOVE working with newborns.  z (3)z (5) z (4)03-26-18 (1) 900 03-26-18 (3) 900z (7)z (6) 03-26-18 (7) 900 03-26-18 (8) 90003-26-18 (10) 900 2 03-26-18 (22) 90003-26-18 (21) 900 03-26-18 (23) 900vthumbnail7 03-26-18 (24) 900 03-26-18 (25) 900 z (8)29060761_948276105353774_3926244572651473566_o 29060115_948275808687137_786165644202280581_o03-26-18 (10) 90003-26-18 (13) 90003-26-18 (15) 90003-26-18 (17) 90003-26-18 (18) 900   Baby boy #2 was SO adorable and had the cutest whispy, light colored hair.  z (9)z (10)z (11)03-26-18 (31) 900 03-26-18 (33) 900 03-26-18 (35) 900 03-26-18 (38) 900 03-26-18 (40) 900z (12) 03-26-18 (42) 900 03-26-18 (45) 900

At the 2nd workshop, we had the opportunity to photograph some beautiful girls, and even a set of twins. 29749558_2307646506129055_5265856524511121842_o03-27-18 (1) 900 03-27-18 (5) 900 03-27-18 (4) 900 thumbnail803-27-18 (6) 90003-27-18 (8) 900 thumbnail9 03-27-18 (11) 900 03-27-18 (12) 900thumbnail12 03-27-18 (13) 900 03-27-18 (16) 900 03-27-18 (18) 900 03-27-18 (20) 900 03-27-18 (23) 900 03-27-18 (24) 90030051853_2307646462795726_7450017548800064862_o03-27-18 (26) 900 03-27-18 (27) 900 03-27-18 (28) 900 03-27-18 (32) 900 03-27-18 (34) 90003-27-18 (30) 90003-27-18 (36) 900 03-27-18 (37) 900 03-27-18 (45) 900 03-27-18 (49) 900 03-27-18 (51) 900

The workshop group from day 2 was amazing!!!!!!  I just wish I had a better picture of us all, I had to steal this one from my hubby’s cell phone.  Thank you friends, it was an honor meeting and teaching you!thumbnail10 copy

The Congreso Smile Conference was very well attended (as you will see in the last picture), and everyone was so sweet, kind and welcoming.  I was one of the last presenters at the end of the conference.  You probably don’t know this about me, but presenting or public speaking or giving a lecture is one of my favorite things to do!  I don’t get nervous at all, because I’m talking about things I truly love and am passionate about, and that I think can help other photographers in their lives and in their businesses.  29662830_949421925239192_6579108633079196813_o29662307_949422748572443_3459880536155002601_o35306102_1885218351776416_6947375824827842560_n
