Free Desktop Wallpaper for December 2011

Duck on a Bridge Free Desktop Wallpaper As a little bonus for my friends and followers every month I provide a free image for use as your desktop background wallpaper on your computer. Each beautiful photo is a picture that I have created and it always includes a calendar overlay for the month. I know that I’m always looking for a calendar and having one on my desktop is very convenient! This months wallpaper image comes from Carburn Park. My kids and I went for a walk in the woods at the back of the park. As we came up to the bridge over the stream we discovered this female mallard standing on the bridge. She stared at us as we approached, almost as if she were daring us to cross over the bridge. We watched for a couple of minutes, but then carried on. She scurried off the bridge and down the path in front of us. When we took a sharp turn onto a side trail she immediately circled back and hopped back up on the bridge. It was really quite funny! Fortunately the light at the park was beautiful and I was able to create a nice image to remember the situation. Download To install the image as your desktop background, simply click on the link below that corresponds to the file resolution you would like to use. When the larger image appears in your browser window right-click on the picture and select “Set as Desktop Background...”.

Fine Art Prints make Great Christmas Presents

Calgary Skyline in the Ice Fog New Images in the Fine Art Prints Gallery I have recently added a couple of new images to the Fine Art Prints Gallery in the client area of the website. This brings the total number if images available in this collection to 26. These images are selected from my favorite nature and landscape images, and mostly come from the Canadian Rocky Mountains or the Prairies East of Calgary. These beautiful images make great Christmas presents. If you are trying to find a perfect gift for someone that's hard to buy for or if you just want to get something a little different this year then this gallery might be perfect for you. All of the images in the gallery are available as Photographic Prints, Canvas Gallery Wraps, or they can be Framed. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and finishes. If you are into finishing them yourself then you can go for a simple print; however, you can also buy a completely finished piece that comes fully assembled and ready to hang. Custom products are also available if there is something specific you have in mind. View the images in the Fine Art Prints Gallery

Print credits? What are print credits?

Nelson Siblings at The Ranche Print credits? What are print credits? I get that question all the time! Up to now my Lifestyle and Studio Portrait sessions were charged at a fixed price that included a dollar value that could be used toward a future order of gift prints, collections, or enlargements. Almost every one of my clients over the last year has had questions about what that meant, how they could be used, and so on. I have simplified the entire process! Yay! Going forward every family or children's portrait session will include a specific set of products rather than a dollar value worth of print credits. For example the Lifestyle Portrait Session and the Studio Portrait Session both include an 8x10, (2) 5x7's and a set of 8 wallets. This included items could change in the future but for now that's what it is. This will be much easier for everyone to understand and I am very excited to implement it! Note that this has not yet changed for some of the other types of sessions I offer. For example, maternity sessions, newborn sessions, and weddings all still include print credits. When I get some more time I will be completely revamping those guides as well...

Christmas Ordering Deadline

I'm starting to get asked about when orders need to be placed to ensure that they arrive in time for Christmas. Although the normal turnaround time for orders is 7-10 days (or longer for custom designed pieces), rush orders can often be done in as few as 4 days (additional charges may apply). Having said that, Christmas is always busier for the suppliers that I use and also for the shipping companies. Please try to allow at least 2 weeks for standard orders to be sure they arrive in time for Christmas. If you could get your orders in by Friday, December 11th that would be ideal. After that date please call and I'll do the best that I can to get your order done in time! It may be possible to get orders completed in time for Christmas as late as December 21st; however, special shipping arrangements (and increased cost) may be required. Note that Gift Certificates are also available at any time. These make great last-minute gifts for those hard-to-buy-for people!
