I am excited to show this year’s holiday card templates. I have kept a few designs from last year and added both fun, modern cards as well as more traditional designs for this year.
The full gallery of cards can be found here: Holiday Card Gallery.
The card number, sizes and other details are included. The designs can be modified to some extent- colors, fonts, number of images, image orientation, etc. If there is a design you like but want to change it up a bit, let me know.
These are a few examples of press printed cards. 5×7 press printed cards are double sided. Other options are a 5×7 folded greeting card (4 sides) or 5×5 tri-fold card (6 sides). One sided 5×7 photo cards are also an option.
This is a 5×7 press printed card.
This was my personal card from last year (folded card):
If you are stuck on what to get someone, how about a gift card:

Proof books come with all regular full sessions. I recently changed vendors for these, so the design may look different if you already have one. The front cover is a 4×6 image mounted on styrene. Inside are all of the edited images from your session. They are finished with a styrene back cover.

Here are a few pictures of recent canvas wrap. I cannot take credit for this design. This was my friend Kerry’s idea. The bible verse is absolutely perfect! This canvas is a 20×24.
The image is printed on canvas and then wrapped around a 1.5″ wood frame. The canvas is sprayed with a UV protective coating and the edges are neatly folded.
The backs are finished with Tyvek and mounted with hanging hardware. These can be hung alone or in a wall display. Smaller sizes look great on a tabletop with an easel.

Today’s eye candy is gallery mounts. A gallery mount is your image or storyboard mounted on wood substrate with a beveled edge. These are sealed with a durable laminate for protection. These come in white or black, ready to hang for a frame-less modern look.
Gallery mounts work so well with storyboards that are non-standard frame sizes. For example, this storyboard is a 14″x14.” As a styrene mount it can definitely be framed or hung on it’s own with ribbon, but frames of this size must be custom made.

This session was quite a switch from all of the babies lately! I had to joke that it was kind of nice to not have to sing Elmo or the Wheels on the Bus or chase her around the park 
Jokes aside, Brooke is a gorgous girl. Made my job easy! These are just a few, there are many more to come. Thanks again!

This adorable little girl is my friend’s new addition. Her mama and I have been friends since we were babies and it is so fun to see each other’s families grow. Anna hasn’t met little Sofie yet, but I know they will be buddies!

I have been getting a lot of questions about different products and thought a ‘product week’ would help! There are pictures of everything in the product guide I bring or send out prior to each session. This week’s posts will be all new pictures for a different perspective.
First up, my favorite- mini albums! These are 3″x3″ and contain 6-10 of your favorite images from our session. These are perfect little brag books. I have many templates for these, just ask to see. These come in sets of 3 identical albums with your choice of cover (multiple colors of fabric or leather). I gift these to orders over $300. To purchase ala carte, they are $50 for the set of 3, with each additional (must be identical) $10 each.
These are printed on both sides in a matte, glossy, or textured finish. The covers are magnetic, keeping the books together.

Finally a little BOY newborn! This was the first for me. I had to go back to count to compare- 16 girls to zero boys. Crazy! I was starting to think everyone was having girls
This little guy was so alert. Normally, I encourage sleeping pictures. Who doesn’t like peaceful, sleepy newborns? Plus, newborns are usually a little cross-eyed for the first few weeks. This little guy did not and WOW are his eyes beautiful!
We did manage to get a few sleepy pictures as well.
This proud BIG sister did so well with her little brother!
Someone said to me last week that maybe people just don’t think there are as cute hats/props for little boys. Well, I hope this last picture changes minds! I have a lot of cute boy stuff!

This was my earliest session at 8:30am and it was already crazy bright and hot outside! We did find some shade and a/c. Thank you B Family for having me over!
This little cutie is the same age as my Anna and SO much more cooperative for pictures
Can I say I have a favorite from a session? Well this is it These two are adorable!

Sorry about my lack of blogging, I am catching up! Mini-sessions will be announced soon as well. I already posted this session on FB, but wanted to share here too. This good looking family is good friends of ours. We met up the Spring Lake Preserve in Hastings last week, a beautiful park!
