New Products | 30 x 40 Lifestyle Canvas – gainesville florida photographer

Laurel — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 15:24:06 +0000

I’ve been meaning to get so many of my favorite family photographs in a book or framed for my home for ages and there never seemed to be a good time to take the time to either design an album or a wall display – so I finally decided to create a collage of my favorites and have them all in one place! I blogged the storyboard that I created here – but it finally arrived this week and I’m so HAPPY ! It’s a 30 x 40 canvas gallery wrap and I have it proudly displayed in my foyer. It is already generated a bit of a buzz as friends and clients that come in to my home can’t help but stop and stare - and of course I get to share all the wonderful moments and stories as I describe each picture!

For those that can’t decide which pictures to frame – this new product may solve that dilemma – the Lifestyle Storyboard Canvas. I am more about telling the story versus just showcasing individual portraits of my family – soI created this modern storyboard to solve that problem. I know it will also work well showcasing all the images from a family session – how fun! It comes in two sizes – 24 x 36 or 40 x 30. I just ordered the 40 x 30 for my home and will share a picture of the finished product when it arrives!

I am bittersweet that we now have this album -because that means this little guy is over one year old!

Since introducing custom wall displays for my clients during their proofing and ordering consultations- the sale of canvas gallery wraps has been soaring! I’m so thrilled because there is nothing more exciting then to see my finished portraits admired on my client’s walls – and my clients love the ease of purchasing art already to display in their homes. I absolutely LOVE consulting with my clients and creating these wall displays before their very eyes – and showing them that, YES we can create works of heART from their very own family images!

I have created 13 brand new Canvas Wall Display Collections and the best part about these collections is that since my lab has given me a quantity discount – I am passing this savings on to my clients – which means that each one of these Canvas Gallery Wrap Collections reflect 15-20% off Ala Carte Pricing. The price includes EVERYTHING – all you need to do is hang them!

Boutique Samples | Gift Prints – gainesville, florida professional photographer

Laurel — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 21:38:24 +0000

The studio now automatically professionally mats and packages each gift sized photograph 11 x 14 and smaller. I wanted to give my clients something more than just a loose print to cherish – so I’ve started this upgrade as of today – without raising any of my prices! Imagine the surprise on Grandma’s face when she opens up her decorative gift box (yup – that’s included too) and inside fits your favorite matted and packaged portraits from your session. Nothing more to do to spruce up this gift. Grandma can either easily fit your picture (already matted) in her favorite frame or have it displayed without a frame on her favorite shelf!
