I love this holiday card, but I have several other favorites as well! I have been spending a lot of time getting adorable designs together for you all : )

My last mini session date for 2011 holiday photo cards is October 23, call me soon if you want to book a time slot for that date.  If you would like cards printed by early December, you will need to have your family or baby portrait done by mid-November, and I only have a handful of sessions open before then.  Call or email me asap… don’t end up sending out a Valentine’s day family portrait card because you never got around to it!  I can also make your card if you have had a portrait session with me in the last few months–please place design orders by Thanksgiving.  missy@powderbluephoto.com

Storyboards are a modern way of displaying favorite photos and can include design elements such as lettering, drawings, flourishes, or frames printed right on top of the photo.  They are mounted on styrene and they arrive ready to place on a tabletop easel or in a frame.  I am an experienced artist and designer and can customize designs, colors, and text to your liking.

Today I was testing out some new design elements on this photo of Baby Oona… I love the idea of putting baby’s name in these blocks right on top of the photo and printing it on a storyboard.  I also added a lacy border to this photo:

Here’s one I made of Jonah at 7 months:

You can also keep it simple, creating a collage with rounded corners to add a fresh twist to displaying photo collages… no need to bother with multiple prints and mats in a complicated frame.

Imagine this one sitting on the buffet table at the graduation shindig:

Custom storyboards start at only $40, including the photos, and are printed at my pro lab.
