JenniferAnne Photography-Newborn Baby Children's Child Senior Photography Cleveland OH: A love affair with The Organic Bloom frames

Even before I had my vendor's license I crushed pretty hard on these frames. They are so unique and beautiful and I admired the team of people that stood behind the company. So naturally as soon as I set my business up with a tax ID and my license to sell I applied for an account with Organic Bloom. Needless to say I was pretty excited when I was approved. I wanted the frames to become a big part of my packages but I wasn't quite sure how to get my clients to imagine the frames in their home. Since I run my business out of my home I decided that I had to show the frames in action in my own home. I started small with several 8x10's adorning the wall of my studio. I displayed all different colors and sizes but I think it was hard for clients to imagine how to create something similar in their home and I wasn't able to show off how beautiful the BIG frames are. I continued to slowly add to my home's collection with smaller frames in my living areas that would also be seen by clients during my sessions.

I already had 3 of the frames displayed in my den but I decided, during an end of the month sale on ready to ship frames, that it was time to shake things up. And I was ready to go BIG.

I went with a white 20x30 inch fonzie frame and I love it. I didn't want to put a big family picture in it because my home is already saturated with pictures of my loved ones so I created my own image in Photoshop of my favorite words on a faux chalkboard background. I like it because it is simple and the colors are neutral enough that it isn't too bold, despite its large size.

I then focused on my main wall, which is also what the parents of my newborn clients sit in front of while I'm snapping away in my studio. I wanted to show the versatility of the frames and that you don't have to have a perfectly symmetrical/color matching/same style set of frames. I started with several frames I already owned and then threw in my new purchases. I went with the colors of white, parchment and gray, with sizes ranging from ornament to 16x20 and a smattering of different styles.

I picked old and new photos, different editing styles and threw in some favorite quotes and personalized prints. (Courtesy of some pinterest finds and using photoshop to make the faux chalkboard backgrounds and text images). I didn't have an imagined layout when we started. I had my oldest son help me lay things out on the floor and then we shuffled things around until I found something that looked right. Then I just eyeballed where they should go on the wall (hence why there are many extra holes in my wall now), made a few adjustments and voila!
