I’m starting to roll out some new templates for my portrait photography clients to use on Facebook as their Cover Image for the new Timeline feature. If you don’t know what that is, you can find some information about Facebook Timeline
It's just about time to start thinking about your Christmas greeting card order for this year! While I still have many of the designs that were available last year (in both flat photo cards and traditional press printed flat or folded greeting cards), I also have a number of new designs and an all new boutique line of Die-Cut cards. Boutique cards are press printed on traditional greeting card stock. They are also die-cut to create basic shapes, curved shapes, scalloped edges, geometric and ornate designs. Die-cut Cards may be provided with sticker or magnet backings for fun gifts and year round display for your friends and family. These are a premium press-printed product that you are not likely to see from any of your friends! They are available in several shapes (Round, Square, Rectangular, Ornate, Scalloped, and more), and sizes (5x5, 5x7). Also new this year are additional sizes for the flat photo cards. Last year I only offered 5x7 cards. This year I have added 4x6, 4x8, and 5x5 cards to the line-up. Every holiday card order will be custom tailored using your own images, names, greetings, etc. Mailing envelopes are included with every order. Pricing for the various shapes and sizes can be seen by visiting the Sample Portrait Gallery in the client area of the website. Here are example images for all of the greeting card designs that are available this year:
Framed Prints I have previously mentioned some of the framing options that I have available through an arrangement with Time Frames Custom Picture Framing. These frames are still available and I highly recommend them to all my portrait clients. Please ask if you would like to see samples of the mouldings or the mats.

There are seven mat color options, including Double White, Black, Blue, Brown, Cream, Dark Green, and Light Green. All mats are acid free and archival. Mats are available with a variety of opening sizes for each frame size. Multi-opening mats are also available upon request. I have samples of all of the mouldings and mats available if you would like to see or feel them! Availability Framed prints are available for select galleries in the client area of the website now, and will gradually be rolled out to the remaining galleries shortly.
