Nicole Tow Photography

I just wanted to give a shout out to a fellow photographer---Nicole Tow!

A Sneak :-)

Oh it was so fun to meet baby J today...and he is SOOOO cute!
He did not however want to sleep...AT ALL!
I am having so much fun editing these! Here is a little peek for Mom!

The results are in!!

Looks like collections are what you want most. Thats not to say that other custom items and a referral program won't be introduced in the future but for now I'll focus on getting some collections put together for you. I'm hoping to have them avail. by the weekend. It is hard work figuring out what should go into a collection so the weekend is my goal but there are no guarantees!
It has also come to my attention that although square cropped pictures are really cool there are some people out there who have mentioned to me they are worried about purchasing the square crops because they don't know where to find frames.
I have decided to offer you the option of having your square cropped prints framed for an extra fee. At this time I am able to offer framed square prints in only the 10X10 and 12X12 sizes. They will come in a 20X20 inch frame with a matte sized to the print. They will be avail in black, white, and a med wood colour all with a light ivory matte.
I will be on a hunt for a frame to fit a 20X20 print as well.
Have a happy long weekend everyone!!!

Check out the new Logo!! :-)

Ever Changing

I suppose, as a new business grows there are always changes to occur. I haven't offered any collections as of yet but I have started thinking about them. I'd like to have your input on a few things(see poll at right): Please cast your Vote!

Collections-If I were to offer collections they would be customizable in that there would not be single pose chosen to fill the whole collection. for example
a collection containing 1-11X14, 2-8X10 and 5-5X7 could be 8 different pictures

Referral program: I'm thinking something like a free print of a specific size for each referal-for you and the person you refer to me.

Lastly other Unique Custom photo items: This might include things like photo jewelery and purses

I'd love your thoughts on these things

oh and lastly...what is a photography blog without a picture???

A quick sneak peek!

Before I run out the door! I think I probably got more than what we thought!

Enjoy!

Storyboards, Wall hangings, and Canvas

I wanted to take a minute to share some new things I am offering.
I have had some questions about storyboards and what they are and what they look like, so thats where we will start.

Storyboards are a fun modern way to show off your prints, all sizes of storyboards from 5X5-20X20 come mounted on styrene for stability and ease of use. You can have theme put into frames, but the fresh modern appearance of them makes them perfect for leaning on a shelf or displaying on a small easel.
Storyboards are a series of pictures displayed together on one print sometimes with a little saying included to add to the 'story'. I am offering mini storyboards as well, a mini storyboard is the perfect gift for a grandparent or other relative. Both the 5X5 and the 5X10 storyboards are the perfect size for a desk.
I am very happy to be offering the "Defined" series on my storyboards, although I do have lots of other ideas for them.
A few samples of the 5X5 and the 5X10-they are also avail. in and square size and in a 10X20 size.
Similar to Storyboards I am also offering wall hangings. Wall hangings are avail in 2 sizes 10X10 and 12X12 they are strung with ribbon in a co-ordinating colour and are perfect for nurseries and childrens bedrooms


I am also happy to announce the arrival of the CANVAS.
Canvas mounted prints are absolutely the most gorgeous prints I have seen to date. The image POPS right off the canvas. Even though the canvas is textured the print is still sharp and perfect.



I will be bring all of these samples to sessions with me for up-close viewing


Again, any previous clients who would like to order a storyboard, wallhanging or print on canvas please contact me.

Have a wonderful day....it sure is beautiful out!!

Thinking Outside the 4X6 box!

Everybody has seen the traditional crop of a basic 4X6 photograph, but why not try something a little different like a 5X5(or larger)square? Or maybe a long rectangle like 10X20
Squares and other non-traditional crops are fun and so contemporary and custom looking.

First is the original 4X6 crop


Next we have a square crop:




Lastly a 10X5 crop:

All the pictures look great in any of these crops but I wanted to put it out there that its okay to think outside of the 4X6 box.
Another thing I will be introducing in the next few weeks is prints on canvas. These are your prints stretched over stretcher bars and ready to hang with no framing needed.


They will look something like this:


So many new things to be introduced in the next few weeks....check back for more updates on new items.
Feel free to email me with any questions.
If you have already had your pictures done and I am now offering something you would like please contact me.
