New Product LOVE!


During the big sale my lab had a few weeks ago I decided to indulge a bit myself just to see the range of products (and to feather my nest of course) and the only thing I can say is WOW.  I don't think my pictures do them justice but here are just a few things I wanted to share.

The shadow mounts (shown above and below) are incredible.  So elegant and classic while being uncluttered and versatile enough for any room.  I put them on top of my mantle (obviously not hanging properly) but just so I could get an idea of where I will want to put them.  LOVE!!

(2 10x20's hanging vertically and a 16x20 in the middle all with the linen texture)

I also got 3 softwraps on metallic paper with the glossy finish.  3 12x12s.  my only regret is that I wish I had gone bigger.

And here is one from one of my clients just to show what a collage looks like on it (standard paper with a matte finish 12x12)

What can I say other than "Love!".  I'd be happy to show them off in person if you would want to see for yourself :)  While I think canvas will always be the gold standard I think these 2 items are a more economical way to show off your prints with minimalistic elegance and without adding a frame.

After hemming and hawing for hours over which prints to choose I am so pleased with the results. They just tie a whole room together.  Now I need to figure out something for the hallways:)

Amanda, David and Gavin



Though I did use most of their pictures in the slideshow I just had to share what a great family these 3 are. Baby Gavin may very well be the best behaved 6 month old I have ever met. We were shooting in close to 100 degrees and this little guy never made a peep. He just stared at what everyone was doing as if analyzing in his little head everything that was happening. I have a feeling he is going to be a little smarty pants. Mom and Dad were great sports while I sweat all over them trying to assist in posing and what not. I was thrilled with the results and I can't wait to photograph them again someday:)
