New Products

Well since the last entry on this blog I have new products to offer. So without too much fan fair here they are.

Table top books: The books come in 3 different sizes; 8x10, 9x6, and 12.5x10. The books come with a customized cover of your image which is an alternative to a standard cover with nothing on it. You are able to order the book in addition to any package I offer or receive it free in my more popular packages. The 9x6 size book is a soft cover book. You can choose from a Matte or Simi-Gloss paper for the interior pages and a Smooth, Linen or Pearl paper for the book cover. Create a Table top book from your next portrait session; they will make a great conversational piece on your coffee table.

DVD’s of your portrait session or wedding is the second product. They are great gifts to family living near and far. Sending portraits through the mail can be a hassle and you’re never sure what size of portrait your family or friends want, so why not a DVD? Your DVD is in a customized CD or DVD case with your portrait on the front and on the DVD. An alternative to the cases are our 5x5 or 6 panel accordion card that hold your DVD of your wedding or portrait session. Each cover as well as the inner portraits is custom made from your session with me by using the portraits you want.

Next are the cards with your portrait. Send greetings, best wishes, and happy holidays or use them as graduation announcements for your senior. Not to mention putting your favorite wedding portrait on the front and a message of appreciation after the wedding. The cards are 5.5x4.5 and come in a smooth, water color, linen or pearl finish. Each panel can contain a portrait or a message to your recipients. We can even leave one panel blank so you can hand write a personal note. The greeting cards come in a bundle of 25 with envelopes. Return address on upper left hand corner can be printed on each envelope with a minimum charge.

I know it seems too soon to talk about the holidays and especially after the long winter we have experienced that does not want to seem to end. This year I have holiday cards to offer. They are the slim line card that has the portrait inset on a holiday greeting. Now you don’t need a Christmas time to get these cards you can have them as announcements such as graduation or baby announcements, holidays other than the Christmas, or even as thank you cards. It is another great way to share your portraits with family and friends.

The last new item is not a product but a new way of helping to preserve your enlargements so they last for years to come. All of the portraits that come from my studio that are 8x10 and larger will now be mounted on an archival foam core board. What makes it archival is the fact the board has no acids in the board. No acids, no turning the print colors or fading the colors. I have thought about this for the past month and felt in the interest of you, the customer, it would be better to mount the portraits than to leave them unprotected and subject to bends, folds and creases. All portraits once mounted should be able to fit into any frame you wish buy off the shelf or custom make.
