Happy Good Friday all! I am gearing up for the big weekend. Should be fun and looks like the weather is going to be amazing! But before the weekend officially begins I wanted to post another product spotlight. This week the spotlight is on storyboards.

Storyboards are one of my most popular custom designed items. They are printed on photo paper, mounted on styrene & coated with a protective lustre coating. They have several display options, you can frame them, put them on a shelf or in a easel. They come in several popular sizes: 11×14, 10×20, 16×20, 20×20 and my new size 5×10 or the “mini”. Be sure to see this and all of my other custom product samples at your next session.

TGIF! I love me some Fridays! I am looking forward to a fun weekend, including attending my cousin’s fabulous wedding! But before the weekend begins, it’s time for another product spotlight. This week I chose to feature an awesome, brand new product that I am offering – custom photo boxes*. These photo boxes are stunning! They are custom designed with image(s) from your session and hold 5×7 prints of all your proofs as well as the CD with all your digital negatives on them. (*Please note – these are only available with the purchase of the digital collection. They are not sold separately.) You really have to see these in person to appreciate just how amazing they really are. (Be sure to ask about them at your next session. I am now bringing all of my product samples with me to sessions.) They are perfect for people who don’t have loads of wall space but still want to show off all their pictures. Not to mention, they are sure to be a treasured keepsake for years to come. Here are a few pictures, take a peek!

P.S. Facebook peeps – be sure to check out the fan page for the fun new contest that’s currently running.

Happy Friday all! Hope you all had a great week. Things have been super busy here – so I apologize the blog has been slow this week. I am currently working on transforming our laundry room into my very own office. I will no longer  be working from a tiny dark corner in our master bedroom. Woohoo! While this sounds like a strange but easy feat. Let me assure you it has not been easy. There has been tons of cleaning (this room also used to serve as my craft room – you should have seen all that was in my tiny closet. YIKES!!) and then there was of course painting – YUCK!!, and  the matter of relocating the washer & dryer to the basement. It wasn’t all bad though, I got to choose some great prints to hang on the walls along with some gorgeous super girlie curtains and really cool organizational stuff etc…  I appreciate you all baring with me. I am hoping to settle in to my new space this weekend and share pics on the blog next week. So stay tuned.

Now, onto today’s product spotlight – custom photo pendants & key rings featuring images from your session. These unique and gorgeous pieces are made by Kristin from Bitty Clippies. Click the banner below to check out her entire site on etsy.

These custom photo pendants and key rings will be available in a few sizes, 1″, 1.25″ and 1.5″ in both sterling silver and copper. These will be made custom for you with your favorite image from your session in either color or B&W. You will have your choice of size, medium (i.e. copper or sterling) and optional personalization on the back. (Chains can be purchased separately from Kristin’s etsy site. See banner below.)  The possibilities are endless! And with prices starting as low at $30, these will make a wonderful keepsake from your session as well as great gifts! Check out some of the samples below.

One of the great things about having a custom portrait session is getting cool custom products with your images. I am currently working on a product selection guide to help you choose the products that best suit your needs. I also thought it would be a help to blog these products too. So every Friday this month I will do a different “Product Spotlight” highlighting all the details and of course images of each product.

This week’s Product Spotlight is on Albums. I currently offer two styles of albums the 8″x8″ and the 2 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ mini accordion sets.
Let’ start with the 8×8’s. These albums are custom designed and printed on high quality professional photo paper, mounted then bound in a book. The album’s lay flat style, allows for a single image to stretch across two pages without a gutter making a striking presentation. Plus they have custom photo covers and spines. These are a great choice when you love all the images from your session but don’t have much wall space for displaying large galleries.

And let’s not forget about the adorable set of three mini’s. You can choose up to 10 of your favorite images to feature in these sweet dark brown fabric covered albums. They are a great way to show off your favorite images from your session! Keep one for yourself and then gift the other two to family or friends. Plus, they are perfectly sized to tuck right in your purse, so you will always have pictures of your family handy!

P.S. I will now be bringing all of my product samples with me to each session. So, if I forget to show them to you, please be sure to ask. You must see these stunning products in person!
