Holiday Cards!

I had every intention of waiting until after Halloween to post this.  I was just going to get it together while I had the chance, save the draft, and come back to it later.   But to be honest, these took me a while to upload and list out, and I’m scared that if I’m going to try to save it and come back to it and the whole thing will be gone.  So, here we are on Halloween-eve – I apologize to you, oh autumn holiday!

With a weekend full of mini-sessions, it was time for me to put these together so that I can focus on my shooting and editing.  So without further rambling, I’m pleased to offer holiday cards for my clients this year!  I found some great designers out there who I love, and I tried to mix up  a couple of different styles so that it’s not all about just my aesthetic. Hope those of you who would like these done for you this year can find some options you love, too.  🙂

These are 5×7, double-sided flat cards, and will be printed on premium press paper.  And a fun thing about me putting these together in Photoshop for you is that I can customize all the colors, so if you want a “Happy Holidays” to match your shirt, you’ve got it.  While some of the text is also customizable, the greetings in groups A and B are hand-drawn word art, and cannot be changed.

 

Group A – Ornament Cards

Brand new this year!  These 5×7 cards have an ornament-shaped center that pops out and can be hung on the Christmas tree.

 

A-1) Oh by golly have a holly jolly ChristmaS
A-2) Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
A-3) Tis the season 
A-4) Merry Christmas
A-5) We wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
A-6) Holiday Wishes

This preview image was provided by the designer, Jamie Schultz.

 

Group B – Hand Drawn Holiday Greetings

These preview images are by the designer, Jamie Schultz.  (Front and back shown.)  They also have the option of adding a coordinating address label (whoohoo!).

B-1 – Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

B-2 – Happy Holidays

B-3 – Joy to the World, Peace on Earth

B-4 – Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

B-5 – Joyeux Noel

Address Labels

 

 

Group C – Hand Drawn Overlays

These are hand drawn greetings that are laid down over your image, showcasing the photo of your family.
Any of the back-sides of the cards from Group B above can be paired with these overlays, or they can be used as one-sided cards with your family’s name added on the front, such as in C-1, C-4, and C-8.

Again, colors will be customized individually, and snowflakes are interchangeable.

C-1 – Good Tidings of Comfort and Joy

C-2 – Merry Christmas

C-3 – Happy Holidays

C-4 – Joy to the World

C-5 – We Wish You a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

C-6 – Peace on Earth

C-7 – Happy Everything

C-8 – Holiday Wishes

C-9 – Tis the Season to be Jolly

 

 

Group D – Modern Greetings

D-1 – “Be Merry” luxe card and address label.

 

D-2 – Green Dots

 

 

D-3 – Little Tree

 

 

 

D-4 – Merry card
D-5 – Peace card

Each of these has 3 back options for 1, 5, or 6 images.
Text and colors can be altered; and these guys have address label options, too.

 

 

D-6 – Cheerful Words

 

 

D-7 – Chalkboard Christmas

 

 

D-8 – Merry Little

 

D-9 – Merry & Jolly

 

 

D-10 – MC & HNW 

 

 

 

That’s it for my 2013 cards!  Don’t you feel in the holiday spirit already?!

Pricing for the cards is as follows:

Group A, Pop-Out cards are $52 per set of 25 cards.
Groups B-D are $48 per set of 25 cards.
Address labels – 50 labels for $24, or $100 labels for $28

Thanks, for checking in, and now I’ll get back to the actual photo-preparation!

a walk in the woods

I went for a walk in some of my favorite (ok, my only local woods) last weekend, and got to meet this lovely family.  (Welcome to Atlanta, ya’ll! 😉 )   Look at how handsome these boys are!   Did you look?  See, I was right.

Fall madness has begun, so I am going to stop the babbling and start the posting.  I’m off to another shoot…  Will have more to post soon… grateful to have another gorgeous day for it!

Ty boy

I apologize in advance for the largeness of this post – for all the photos you are about to see of the same baby.  But he is my new nephew, so I had to take full advantage.

Have you ever found it difficult to photograph your own children?  You’re not alone.  I hear it often.  In fact, if you bring your child to a photographer and they’re absolutely determined not to cooperate, you’d be surprised at what a difference it makes if you just walk out of eyesight.  Most of the time, they put on a completely different attitude when it’s just them and this person with a camera.

Well, my nieces are just about as comfortable with me as anyone, which means that they did not feel the need to be shy, or hold my instructions with any sort of reverence.  They were just as goofy as could be.  So I have included some outtakes for your viewing pleasure.  (Including one of our outdoor time in which the 2-year-old absolutely refused to sit facing in the same direction as her siblings.)  These are some of my favorites.

So meet my nephew Ty!  At 1 week old, and then again at the very end at 2 weeks.  (I tried for just 1 successful shot of the 3 of them.  As you can see, the 2-year-old was happy to lay down by herself while her brother was being fed, but as soon as she was supposed to lay down, preferred to stand over her siblings and try to block the light.)

it’s the most mini-session time of the year!

That’s right, that time right before the most wonderful time of the year is the most busiest time of the year in photography!
I usually do a round of mini-sessions each year – short, 20 minute sessions with the idea being to get a family shot for a holiday card – and last year I was so busy I couldn’t accomodate nearly as many folks as I wanted to.  So this year I’m trying to cut back on my end-of-year full sessions, and offer an two additional rounds of mini’s.

I’ll be doing these on the morning of Sunday, November 3rd in Smyrna (which is just about full) as well as the afternoon of the 3rd on the west side of Atlanta.  (New location that I’m pretty exited about!)  And Saturday, November 9th on the east side of Atlanta.

These spots are going fast, so contact me if you’d like to reserve one!

And in the meantime, open up your windows and enjoy your autumn!  I wish I could make it last for a greater part of the year.

Happy birthday! Well, pretend birthday.

I bought a couple of framed chalkboards so that I can start taking some birthday photos while recording a little bit about the birthday girl/boy at the same time!   To tell you the truth, I had intended to use it for back-to -school photos (maybe next year), but they’ll come in handy for birthdays in the meantime.

It wasn’t actually Lilly’s birthday, but she modeled for me anyway.  Thank you, sweet niece of mine!
