Inspired by 100 year-old photo

Christmas came and went so fast that I didn’t get to share this last pre-Christmas photo shoot with all of you. I received a call a couple weeks before Christmas from someone that wanted to do a photo shoot with her little boy to ‘match’ a 100 year-old photo that they had of his great-grandfather. I was more than happy to help her out with this. I love vintage inspired photo shoots and I am more than happy to help with the props, perfect location and/or the clothing. This mom had it all under control… she had already contacted the Guthrie and rented a costume, figured out a collar to match the outfit in the photo, gathered a stool similar to the one in the photo.

I started out with some color film figuring that I could always have it printed black and white, but I also brought along my medium format camera to take some true vintage looking photos.

Here is the Christmas Card I put together to pay homage to the 100 year-old photo of this little guy’s great-grandfather.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

After a lot of hard work from October through December here are a few samples of my cards this year.

New this year to my list of card options were Boutique cards. With over 50 shapes of Boutique Cards I can take your cards to a new level of distinction. Choose from basic shapes, curved shapes, scalloped edges, geometric and ornate designs. The front of Folded Boutique Cards is shaped and there are also options for cut out windows on
select styles.

Also look for select Boutique Cards sizes and shapes that include an eighth inch hole at the top of the shape. Add a ribbon through the hole to transform the Boutique Card into an ornament or gift tag!

It is graduation time!!!

Senior’s are in the midst of handing out their wallet sized photos to their friends and planning their graduation parties. Make your invite personal using your senior photos. I tailor them to your personal taste. This senior decided to have her invite reflect her style by using her High School colors. Exciting times!

Baby announcements

One of my favorite things about doing a maternity and newborn shoot is the baby announcement that I get to do. The hardest part is picking out the photos you want on the card… I do the rest!

Merry Christmas

Christmas season was a crazy one this year. Between traveling, surgery’s and wrangling children and getting Christmas Cards done I barely had time to think! I had a good Christmas, but am excited for a New Year.

All Cards come with the following paper options: standard card stock, water color, linen, pearl or rc paper (photo paper). Sizes vary from 4×5, 4×8, 5×5 and 5×7 and can come as flat cards, folded, tri-fold or accordion.

I personalize the card to you. The paper is better quality. The prices end up being cheaper than many of the big online card makers like Tiny Prints. It can’t get any better than that! Here are some samples from past years.
