Aspen

How cute is she! As soon as I walked in the door, Aspen was all smiles so I immediately knew this was going to be a really fun shoot. She's a natural!

Help, Please

I submitted this image to Greeblemonkey's May Greeblepix contest and I was chosen as a finalist!! Will you please vote for me? The prize is a $250 rental credit to Pro Photo Rentals. Thank you so much for your support!!

Erica and Hannah

Erica and Hannah were some of the easiest kids ever to shoot! As long as the youngest, Hannah, had her pinecones in hand, she was happy to do whatever I asked. Erica wants to be a photographer when she grows up, so Hannah's used to having a camera in her face. :)

Emma & Anna

These are my friend, Amanda's daughters. Aren't they gorgeous! Her oldest, Emma, is ready for America's Next Top Model. She loves to pose and strut. She was so funny telling me which spots she'd prefer at the park. Anna is just a doll! She's such a little sweetheart.

More Stuff

Designing my referral cards made me want to create more stuff! I wanted to design a welcome packet for clients that looked nice and was well put together. There are still a couple things I'd like to have press-printed, but it looks good for now. The referral info card was my jumping point and I designed the rest around it. The cropping guide was a template I purchased at Pink Ink Studios. Everything that was press-printed (cropping guide, session reminder bookmark, cd cases) were all printed at ProDPI.



The inspiration for these appointment cards (as well as for the referral cards that started it all) came from Carrie Small's guest post at Paperie Boutique.



Welcome packet ready to go. Pochette envelopes are from Envelopper, Inc. The cd covers will also go in a pochette envelope to be included in client print orders.



CD "cases." They're 5x7 trifold cards I had printed and will stick a cd hub to. CD hubs were purchased at Shop4Tech, and the template for the cases is from Pink Ink Studios (can you tell I love their stuff). I used the layout and the wording from the template, and designed them to coordinate with the referral info card. The cd hubs are actually clear, I just didn't take the backing off to stick it. I ordered blank, printed DVDs from Nationwide Disc, but they haven't come in yet. ;)

I can't thank Clickin Moms members enough for their inspiration! I have learned so much on that site! Thank you!

Moooooo!

Now that I have a logo and a website, I thought it best to order some new moo cards. I so love my mini moos! If anyone would like to order their own cards from moo, let me know. I got some 15% off coupon codes with my order.

Lookie Lookie, Milk & Cookies!

Abby likes to rhyme everything these days, so this is what she says when she has something to show me. :) Now that I have a logo, I've been working on packaging and just making everything look pretty. I'd love to hear what you think!

My best client was interested in a unique Mother's Day gift for her mom, so I put together this little book for her. It's perfect for showing off the grandkids!




Thank you/referral card I put together. My starting point for the 5x5 flat card was a template from Pink Ink Studios, and I designed the wallets myself. I change the picture on the wallets for each client to make them more personal. The pochette envelope is from Envelopper in Stardream Onyx. It sparkles. :)


The envelope holding the referral card all sealed and ready to go. I bought the stickers on etsy.




I used two different colored tissue paper inside the photo box: yellow and white-and-black polka dots.



The finished product ready to be delivered.
