New Product: Coffee Table Book

February 27, 2009

Today I received a new sample of a book vendor I had wanted to try.  The other coffee table book vendor I really like, but it was thinner pages.  This new vendor offers thick, sturdy pages.  This makes the book much more substantial and just b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l.

Some photos to show it off.

ps: trying out a new layout for product images.  Click to make larger, use back button to return to blog.

Laura Leslie: Oh...WOW. These are beautiful! Great job and what a talent you have =)

Bobby Dean: I love the picture you took of the father holding the new baby in both hands. That is so cool. Love al of the updates to your web site. You have been busy oxoxox your Momma

jen: This looks awesome Mo! :)

Newsletters are in the making.

Don’t worry, it won’t be something that fills up your in box daily. This is something that will be sent out every few weeks or once a month. You can easily unsubscribe at any time and your email address is not sold. ;-)

This is actually an older image. As I was going through updating my site and getting my new products together as samples for 2009, I came across this and just fell in love with it.

Hope you are all having a good weekend.

I can’t believe how time flies.  I am already getting ready for custom graduation announcements.  This is the time to start thinking about them.  If you plan to order graduation announcements or “open house” invites, get in touch with me ahead of time, as they take time to design them and unarchive your images.  Here is a sneak peek of some of the cards that are ready for 2009 seniors.

Also tell all your 2010 seniors to watch for a special announcement.

This was supposed to be a “rain” session.  Had it all planned with umbrellas and ending with some dancing in the rain or jumping in puddles.  Well,  instead the big storm never arrived and we just had high winds.  but we had fun.

This was the last part of C&C’s engagement session, some urban shots.

just two fun ones for now.  more later.

So excited to introduce my new lines of albums for 2009.  These are your basic albums.  All images are mounted edge to edge for a beautiful finish.  Lots of options to choose from.  There is lots of awesome colors, unique materials, happy cow, brocade,  suede, silks, and even patent or snakeskin.  These aren’t your ordinary plain albums.

This is a 5×5 album done with cute borders.

I am loving how it’s all coming together finally.  YAY.  Did you notice the new rotating header up top?  love that.  and now you can search the blog too.  Still have more to add to it, but it’s getting there.

First, a new little facelift for my home splash page.

next, if you are on facebook, you can join my fan page to see news about upcoming sales, events and also just to chitchat.

Kim Prochazka: Looks great! I love the new splash page too!

Dena Robles: Your blog has come together very nicely! I will be following!

Today was perfect weather.  This was a quick mini session.  I have to say, this family is super kind and very easy going.  They have several dogs that run around on the property that we added a couple at the end of their session.  So cute.  It was nice to see you again today.

Anyhow, here is a couple sneak peeks.
