Product Spotlight: Print Collections
While most of the print products my clients enjoy are sold à la carte (this gives everyone the most choice, btw), Collections exist for those who would like a set package of prints…
Product Spotlight: Museum Prints
There is a reason why I print my own work - it gives me the ultimate control over the final product that my clients go home with. There are so many printing vendors to choose from (even if you just stick to the professional lab options), so why go through all that work and expense?
Product Spotlight: The Album
When it comes to photography products, the album is a fairly new addition to my roster. One of the reasons why it took me so long to add it to my product lineup is because good albums are hard to find. It takes time to order samples from different vendors and assess the quality….
Introducing: Albums
It takes me about 2 years to add a product to my product line. Why? Because I’m very selective. I know first-hand what a disappointment sub-par quality can bring and it takes me a while to find that right company or individual to work with…
Top Mistakes Parents Make with Holiday Cards
Not sure if you’ve noticed all the leaves on the ground lately. Fall snuck up on us like it does every year, it seems. Soon enough we’ll have Halloween and shortly after that, the holiday season. And as festive as that time of the year is, it’s also when (as Moms) we start thinking about our annual holiday cards…
The Advantage of Working with Different Photographers
Most of the time, people assume a few common things about photographers. One is that a photographer can photograph pretty much anything. And two, is that we’re all in competition with each other for clients. And for me at least, neither of those is true…
How to Decorate your Home with Photos
If there is one thing that's 100% true, it's that everyone is different. Every Client I've had has a different interior decor style, preferences, and what they would like to do with their photographs. And while I offer a fairly limited array of products, they actually accommodate many different preferences when it comes to decorating your home with photographs…
How to Select the Perfect Frame Size
Here is the biggest mistake people make when purchasing frames for their photographs: they determine the size of the frame based on where they want that frame to live in their home. Sounds pretty logical, right? It is.. until you realize that you probably won’t be living in that house forever. People move (every 7-10 years on average), and they take their stuff with them. Which means that perfectly sized frame will soon have to fill a totally different spot…
It's Included! 10 Things That Don't Cost Extra
Every day, I look for little extras I can include in my business to make my service just a little bit better. Now, I'm very selective about this because if I start throwing everything and the kitchen sink in for free, I will have to raise my prices to cover the additional cost. The things that are included with each session make the biggest impact on the final images. They are almost essential to the process, but a lot of the time photographers will either not take the time to do them, or won't include them for free…
A Home Tour
Back in October, we bought and moved into our new home in Wesport. It's a 1939 Cape Cod style house that wasn't what I was looking for, but it turns out, exactly we wanted...
Less, but Better
Every day I battle against the pile of "stuff" that comes into my house. My son's ever-growing Lego collection, mountains of mail, snacks and food (which doesn't always get eaten), and clutter.. oh, the clutter.. that nobody seems to care about except for ME. Yes, it's part of living with boys (I am the only female in our household), but it's also something I've come to care deeply about as I've gotten older.
The Value of a Print
I hear a lot of "I love how you believe in prints". Which makes me a bit uncomfortable, because it's not about believing in tangible products at all. I simply want my clients to receive something that is more valuable than digital files. I want them to walk away not having wasted their money on an image that might be pretty, but will never see the light of day.
