Product share...

Although traditional prints are great, there are so many other products I offer clients... canvases, specialty mounts, mini accordion albums, press cards, storyboards, metal prints (yes, you can print directly on metal) and press books - both hard and softcover. Here are a few shots of a hardcover that arrived today.

Sample share

Just thought I'd share a few pictures of some alternatives to framing. Frames are great - they come in all shapes and sizes, different finishes, colours, with and without mats, you name it - but it's not the only way to display prints.

One option that looks gorgeous on the wall is the gallery wrap. Your photo is printed on canvas, UV laminated for added protection and wrapped on a 2 1/4" stretcher frame. These are stunning as a stand-alone or as part of a collage of canvases. They're available in many sizes - the larger the better in my opinion - and come ready to hang.

The flush mount is another option. Great for storyboards (more than one photo) and look especially good in kids rooms. They're laminated, so they're easy to keep clean, and come ready to hang.

And one of my favourites, the float mount (just had the one below printed - 20x30). Your image is printed and mounted on masonite, laminated to protect it from UV and fingerprints and then attached to a frame that brings it out from the wall so it appears that it's floating. Very modern.

There are more options than what I've shown here and I'll hopefully be able to share more samples soon.

So when it comes time to order, don't just think standard prints and digital files... there's lots more to consider and I can definitely help out with some ideas. And think BIG. I consider 5x7s and 8x10s desk prints - go larger for the wall. Hang something that is going to have an impact. A 24x30 canvas has much more of a 'wow' factor than a small framed print. It's art!

NEW DESIGNS

Here's a look at some of the new birth announcement designs I'm offering (there are more coming and will soon be available for viewing on my website). I will also be adding a 'for photographers' link to my site in the next couple of weeks where I'll be selling templates of these cards and others, along with my calendar design, collages, and more. If you're a photographer, keep checking the site for more information or drop me a line and let me know you're interested so I can contact you when things are ready to go.

Happy Holidays! Just a quick post to show off a couple of things I had printed before Christmas. One is the wall calendar I offer and the other is one of the hard cover books I designed for a client. I've partnered with some great printer/suppliers so I'm excited to add these and other products to my offerings - they'll be on the website soon!

HOLIDAY CARDS

Thought I'd show a few of the holiday card orders that have been printed. I'm anxiously awaiting books and calendars and will post a photo of those when they arrive.




(KEEP WATCHING FOR THE UPCOMING CONTEST - I'LL BE POSTING DETAILS IN A FEW DAYS)

thanks for looking : )
