Our update is taking a little longer than expected, and so we will be releasing it next week. We will post when it is ready. We apologize for the delay for those who are waiting. We will honor wppi discounts for an additional week due to the delay. Here’s a sneak peak of a few of our 8×10 client presentation files…
I hope you are enjoying WPPI in Las Vegas! We are offering 15% off our design shoppe through 3/17/10 with discount code “wppi”. If you are a homebody like me, you are of course welcome to use the code, too.
We are fine tuning Rock the Walls v2, and anticipate its release on 3/12/10. I teamed up with another of my talented sisters and our paint brushes for this update, and we can’t wait to share it with you!
Also, effective March 1, 2010, we will be contributing 5% of proceeds through the end of the year to 2 causes close to our heart…God’s Littlest Angels, a Haitian orphanage connected with a reputable adoption agency local to us, and the UMDF (United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation). I have 8 nieces and nephews affected by this debilitating disease, and research funded by the UMDF regarding mitochondrial function is yielding invaluable information and hope for this and other diseases including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and cancer.
As we enjoy a little warmth this week in Michigan, we wish you sunshine and green grass!
I am excited to be adding products from the Dream Album Company for my studio customers this year! Coordinating with our favorite designs from our Sketchy Borders, our image box templates are available as Dotty, Star and/or Rose sets. We LOVE the Dotty set for seniors and weddings! Each set contains multiple image box options for both the 5×7 and 8×10 boxes from the Dream Album Company (4 cover and 4 back designs are included for each size.). In addition, several coordinating back of the mat designs (similar to the image box backs) are provided for both sizes in each set. Each themed set sells for $25, or you may purchase all three together for $50. You may purchase them here!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Another resource I love is Michele Baratta’s jewelry! They have begun offering a photographer program which is perfect for studios (No sales minimums/parties to worry about!). I have a number of her portrait pieces and wear them A LOT! It is by far the most comfortable portrait jewelry I’ve found! More information (and shopping!) can be found at michelebarratta.com. Click on photographers in the middle of the page for the photographer program info.
I am so excited to be able to share this blog with my families and fellow photographers! I love helping families integrate life art into the interior design of their homes, and I hope you find this blog to be an inspiration as you consider the investment of life art for your home.
