I’m so absolutely excited to offer this to my portrait clients. I haven’t gotten around to taking pictures of it until today, but here it is. It’s the most luxurious, heavy, beautiful album on the market, and it’s all mine. Ahem, well, yours!

The cover image is printed onto a high-quality lined keepsake box to house your album in. The album pictured (my sample carried to sessions) is thinner than the actual keepsake album (5 leaves, 10 Images). The session album offered for portrait clients is in fact a 15-leaf, with 30 8×10’s featured. So imagine the album you see here, only x 3! I would have that as a sample, but trust me, it’s a bit too heavy to travel with to sessions :)

The album itself is 12×12 inches, which rivals the biggest coffee table books. Professionally bound, thick matting gives your album a weight and presence that echoes the emotion of your images:

Your favorite image is printed onto silk, and wrapped around your album cover, with a custom-imprinted title:

Isn’t it pretty? I’ll add more images of details a bit later.

 

Until Next Time,

Mariah

I had taken pictures of my accents for a client- Hi Victoria!- and decided I might as well post them, right? The white bag hasn’t been emptied yet, so I think y’all deserve a look at my newborn accent props.

Depending on your monitor, these may look very bright. These pictures don’t represent a newborn shoot, rather, the fabulous props that I use in the shoot!

We’ll start with exhibit A, The white bag and my stack of assorted bowls, baskets, and trays:

Some of the yummy fabric I use for boy shoots (disregard those flowers…they got mixed in there somehow!). The basic fabrics I use are the backgrounds for these photos…the fuzzy white, soft tan, black background, etc.

My nautical stripe and beautiful white basket:

 

The big, wide bowl:

 

The big, wide bowl in action, modeling fuzzy blankets:

 

The leaf basket (this just kills me).

 

The clean, white bowl modeling my black background. Or is it the other way around?

 

Other accents, modeled with the fabric of the moment:

 

Sheepskin, tricks of the trade, basic baskets, and blankets are not featured :) You’ll just have to wait for your sessions!

Our new 2008 line of custom announcement cards is here! These are displayed as birth announcements, but can be customized as baby shower cards, invitations, or thank-you cards, and can be filled in with birth stats, quotes, or any number of possibilities! Ask me about rates and custom design.

I am SO excited to offer these, and I really think they fit with the fun, light, bright style we put forth in our images.

Our first card is a front and back or inside/outside combination, depending on if you’d like a folded or flat card. Boy version is also available:

 

The next series is one of my personal favorites. Juicy, colorful, and bright, these really put forth the “fruit” of your “labors” (forgive me). Blank spaces are for stats:

       

You can’t go wrong with argyle and paisely for your wee one:

        

        

Stars and Flowers fill these 5×7 cards (empty space for stats and names):

     

Birds hop among dots in these 5×5 cards:

       

And country charm meets modern chic in these 5×7’s:

     

And some general purpose cards that can be used for virtually anything!:

       

Aren’t they adorable! I want to print these out and send them just for fun, they’re so cute. Each card (except for the first card and the 5×5’s) is a 5×7 flat card. They can be ordered as folded cards with blank insides as well.

Card are sold at a minimum of 50, and in multiples of 25 after that. They come with your choice of linen or plain envelopes. They are a gorgeous way to announce your new addition- or anything you’d like!
