Photos from both the IBRA IPRA Illinois Finals and the Central States Classic LLC this weekend are all up at carlyonphoto.com - thanks to Jocelyn and Andrea Hug for covering the CSC while I was across the river at the IBRA!

The purchased photos will look much better than the proofs - especially for the CSC, because I had to come home and process the thumbnails all at once to get them online asap!

If you’ve been having trouble checking out from carlyonphoto.com, please try again! The link to Square was broken when they updated, so I had to upgrade the website to fix it. Apologies for the hassle!

Welcome to Carlyon Photography! Events prior to 2020 will continue to be available to view and purchase at my old site, http://carlyon.photoreflect.com/

Remember to check out your photos from the Little Britches Finals weekend! Jocelyn Hug was shooting 2nd camera shots for some alternate angles so make sure to check out both cameras!

Photos from this weekend's Little Britches at Flickerwood Arena are all online now! Some photos may appear too dark or too bright - don't be put off by that. Backlighting, changing light from the windows, etc., caused some of the previews to be out of whack, but purchased photos will be corrected, adjusted, and cropped.

All photos from the Central States Classic LLC at Reflections Equestrian Center are up now. The last of Jocelyn's candids just finished uploading. We also have Kim Govero's videos available for Saturday and Sunday (I forgot to enable the Video option for Sunday - it's active now.)

Some changes to Print orders: Print orders will go out much faster now - usually within 1-3 business days.

The past few years, I used a professional printing lab for all my prints, but they had a minimum order charge. Therefore I had to queue up a few orders to send in a batch so I didn't lose money to that fee. That often caused waits of 3 weeks or more during slow periods.

Prints larger than 13x19" will still be drop-shipped from the lab.

I removed the UPS option from Shipping - if some people still want a UPS option due to problems with USPS, let me know, and I'l figure out how to economically send photos through UPS.

All the photos are up at https://www.carlyonphoto.com/equine-events/2026/01-17-26-ice-breaker-at-flickerwood-arena/

Also, at this moment, I'm caught up on sending out all orders - BUT some people's emails are bouncing back. Hotmail has got my network blocked for some reason, and several peoples' icloud accounts are full, causing the emails to bounce back.

(If you take a lot of photos and videos on your phone, then it fills up you icloud account, then your icloud emails bounce back, which is terrible for an email - DO NOT RELY ON ICLOUD ACCOUNTS FOR IMPORTANT THINGS! You don't want to miss an email from your attorney or doctor because you filmed a video on your phone... Do beter, Apple!)

So if you haven't gotten your emailed photos yet, send me a message and I can try texting them to your phone, or send them to another email.

Feels good to be back to work!
