Prop Craze!

I usually make all of my props and accessories. I like them to be customized to coordinate with each session. I've got a family session coming up this weekend so of course I couldn't miss out on the latest prop craze - The Mustache on a Stick. Of course, I couldn't stop there... we have to have glasses and lips. They are so easy to make and for a fraction of the cost of what they are sold for on sites like Etsy.

Free templates can be found easily online. HERE is just one source. So get to crafting. These are so much fun!

Photography Packaging & Branding

I've finally settled on packaging. Like the branding the packaging has evolved many times. There are so many options available that it's hard to settle on just one that will forever represent your photography. Without further ado here are the items that my packaging consists of:

5x6 aqua blue boxes 

Miller's Lab prints all of my ornate cards and business cards

Metallic orange posts (like the kind used for scrapbooks)

Custom printed CDs http://www.blankmediaprinting.com/node/2

Handmade paper flowers

White tissue paper hand scalloped

Twine

Paper flowers are hand painted them assembled - Stem, Leaves, and Stamen are made from cardstock printed with Shakespearean play quotes

White tissue paper edges are hand-scalloped with simple white paper flower closure

Flying Fig CD Case

Custom Printed CDs based on one of my floral graphic designs. The case "swings" open to reveal the CD and copyright release

Informational cards will vary depending on the type of session. This picture shows the backside of the CD case with my custom designed photography subway art with matching shaped business cards all printed at Miller's Lab. Scallop edge referral card and newborn session information card
