Just a quick note that somehow, some way every slide show has been corrupt on my server. So if you’re trying to view yours and it’s not coming up please give me some time to re create them. My husband and I celebrate our 9th anniversary today and the baby sitter is on her way but I am vowing to get these puppies back up before I leave.
Thank you for your patience!
I am breaking my own rule about two peeks in one day (I want everyone to get their fair share of the limelight!) but I am just that piled up! I have had several completely and utterly precious newborns in the last week that I can’t wait to share. I am loving all the cuddle and snuggles I have been able to sneak in - it’s a tough job but someone has to do it!
Oh and look, she came with an adorable big sister too! How lucky am I?!
An overdue peek! This session was last week on one of those almost unbearably hot days. You may recognize these beauties as the two babies together on my website - yep, they have grown up! The are so absolutely gorgeous, I’m thrilled that I was able to spend another morning with them!
Where have I been, I know there are several clients waiting for peeks and wondering that same thing! I have been working (late into the night) to get several projects wrapped up - one being an updated shopping cart with several new products and options and new collections including the Cypress albums. I also completed my new client sites which I am so excited about. I loved my adorable client books that I have been mailing out for years now but in an effort to use less paper and resources the new sites were born. But they are super cool and I think will be very helpful for clients - they walk you through every step of the process and include every bit of important information and links you will need. If you have a session coming up booked before this week and would like your own personalized site drop me a line. I think you’ll like it!
Back to the pictures! Sneaks coming up SOON! If you’re waiting for a gallery they should be up in the next day or two!
Another goodie that I have been working on! Also beginning August 1st Gallery Mount prints will be available. To create a Gallery Mount, a photograph is completely sealed with a durable, transparent semi-gloss laminate and heat-fused to a 3/4” backing with a white or black ready to hang beveled edge. This a finished piece, another ready to hang option. A digital mat can be added for additional impact. I’m loving these!
I am so thrilled to start offering Cypress products beginning August 1st. These are absolutely stunning, handmade pieces and clients will be able to customize them to their liking. I will be offering a few different products including the Artisan Book (take a look at that gorgeous thing!). Anyone that knows me knows that I do not take offering a new product to my clients lightly. I spend way more time than any human should researching the available products, the company that makes them and what impact offering the new products will have. In the end I feel great not only about the albums but the company itself. I will have photos to share soon, but in the meantime here is a statement from Cypress about the company.
Our albums are built to last for many generations to enjoy, so it goes hand-in-hand that we value the preservation of our earth for future generations to come. Here at Cypress, we are people, animal, and earth friendly.
Our Products & Our Company:*We do not use or sell any animal products.
*We use only non-toxic, archival glue.
*Our binders board (used in the construction of album covers, boxes, and folios) is made from 100% recycled content.
*Our products are made in the USA, handcrafted by artisans who receive fair wages.
*We reuse and recycle everything possible, from paper and fabric scraps to shipping boxes to cans/bottles in our lunchroom.
*Our office, kitchen, and restroom paper products are made from recycled content.
*We are working to reduce our carbon footprint by saving electricity through the use of efficient long-lasting fluorescent lighting and reminders on all of our light switches to conserve energy.Our Album Pages are…*Acid-free, which keeps your photos in a PH-neutral, archival environment.
*Tree-free, made from 100% cotton linters, which are a waste byproduct of the textile industry.
*Chlorine bleach-free, keeping harmful chemicals out of our homes, not to mention our water sources.
*Sourced from environmentally conscious suppliers. Our mat board and paper are made at a mill that generates its own hydroelectric power. They use their own water source to create the energy they use, thereby preserving the public source.
Well hello there! I have been a bit absent from the blog but not absent from work - I have actually been working like crazy! I have some major cutie peeks to share and some new goodies to add as well. New albums, new products, new Christmas cards, and on and on. But to start, a little precious bundle for you. He was so full of personality (and I know this because he was wide awake most of the time I was there!) and just had me cracking up. Completely laid back - he tolerated all of my craziness well!
