Brand new sample albums and proof box

I'm so excited about these new sample albums!

The first is an English line Couture Book that I designed to be very unique and complement Melissa and Brett's wedding. I'm over the moon with how it turned out! The pink flocking on the cover is so soft, the inside endpapers have a little shiny detail to them, the papers are creamy, and the cool black velvet sheath is awesome. This is from the newest line of albums that I carry, and I absolutely love it!









This album measures 10x13", which gives it a nice, big feel, but it's also available in 8x10", 6x9", and some other nice sizes.

Next is the design I made for Nestldown from Rachel and Giancarlo's beautiful wedding - another Couture Book, this time from the Japanese line. I have so much fun designing these and absolutely adore the job my bookmakers do with the finished product! This is also a 10x13" book.

Finally, a brand new product, the Proof Box. I had this sample made from my favorite shots from the Style Me Pretty Inspiration to Reality shoot this winter, and I know it's going to be a client favorite!







Just contact me if you're interested in ordering or learning more about any of these products.

Encaustics by Ghostbee - a unique new product!

At long last, I'm ready to share a newer product I'm offering. In collaboration with my wonderful painter friend, Meredith, of Ghostbee, I can now create very unique, custom art piece from your favorite photo. This product is called "encaustic" - and it involves mounting your favorite image to board, and painting it with a special blend of (locally sourced) beeswax and resin and an optional painted tint or graphics. The result enriches and transforms the images so that they have a new, etheral dimension (and a delicious beeswax smell!), texture, and depth.



You really need to see them in person to get the full effect - I have some small pieces that I can easily bring around to share, so let me know if you'd like to take a look!





From Ghostbee's site: "Encaustic is an ancient painting method, combining beewax, tree resin, and pigments to create a luminous, durable, and beautiful finished product... Encaustic paintings are extremely archival and long lasting. They do not yellow with age, and are impervious to moisture. The most famous encaustics are the Fayum Portraits of Ancient Egypt. They were painted in the first century A.D., and they still look as fresh as they did the day they were made."





I had some samples made from favorite images, and am so happy with how they look. I have several on my walls, and have given others as gifts.









If you're interested in ordering an encaustic piece for your home, or as a gift, just contact me to order and we'll go over the details. There are certain images that work better than others. I'm dying to find the time to shoot some new portraits of Devon and I to use to order some encaustic pieces!
