So Much To Choose

When you make an appointment for your first professional photography session, the main thing on your mind is receiving beautiful photographs of your selected subject(s), whether that be you and your family, your pet(s), your graduating senior or whomever the subject might be.

After the session, and some work by your photographer, you will get to review those images.  At that point, you are hopefully thinking "Gosh!  I never knew I looked so good!" or "I never thought my dog could sit still that long to get such a great photo!"

While you also should be thinking about what exactly you are going to do with the images you love, once you decide on which ones you want to pursue, in my experience, most clients really don't think that far ahead.

My job, then, is to not just be your photographer, but to be your tester.  Yes, I am your guinea pig.  I have diligently searched the far corners of the world (well, okay, the print labs) for high quality products that will take those beautiful images and place them artfully on your walls or your desks.

There is A LOT (A LOT!!!!!!!!) of product out there.

I do have my favorites.  F.A.V.O.R.I.T.E.S. <----- (See the plural "s" and know I cannot narrow this down to one product.)  I love ART BLOCKS, and ACRYLICS, and THIN WRAPS.  And, there's more. 

But, I can also look at an image and tell you what it might work best with that fits into your specific budget.

So, this blog was very hard for me to write, with the theme of "FAVORITE PRODUCT." 

BUT

With the holidays fast approaching let me say that I absolutely love, adore, and can't get enough of METAL ORNAMENTS!!!!!!!  I mean, you can seriously festoon your entire tree with memories from your year.

They make WONDERFUL gifts for anyone in the family.  Live far away from the grandparents?  Send them an ornament of the grandkids doing something fun.

The backs of the ornaments are just as festive as the front that frames your photo choice.  And there are a number of different styles to choose from.

I am gearing up right now to do holiday card and Christmas session photos, and there is nothing I love more than to place an ornament order!  I have a number of ornaments in the studio to choose from as well.

My supplier is AWESOME!  I have tested out a number of ornament print labs, and I've found you the best!  You can feel fully confident that your image will look as great in your ornament, as it did when you viewed it in the studio.

I'm excited!  Are you excited?  Contact me for further details.

Have a great weekend!
