New Products!

Sorry for the blog silence and neglect over the last couple of months. Paul + I have been absolutely flat out shooting some amazing engagements and weddings which we hope to be able to share with you very soon!!

If you receive our newsletter, you would have read that we have been expanding, meeting a more eclectic mix of clients and also offering some new products! We’re excited to share and inspire you with some awesome ways to share your favourite photos with family and friends.

First up, we have these really cool acrylic tiles. Your photos are mounted behind a block of acrylic about 2-4cm thick which give your images a three dimensional look and make your photos pop even more! They look really modern and come in a range of sizes. These would look perfect sitting on your desk at work, or on the shelf or mantelpiece!

The tiles come in 4 sizes: Large (30x30cm), Medium (30x20cm), Small (15x10cm) and Mini (10x10cm).

 

Next up, we have a series of gorgeous square canvases. We really believe that images take on a whole new dimension when arranged in a series. This series of our gorgeous god-daughter Lucy and her parents captured this precious time in their lives and looks amazing hung on the wall.

 

Another thing that we are doing differently this year is making sure that every print that leaves our studio is mounted and matted. Matts really finish off the look of your prints and ensure that they are protected. They look amazing on smaller prints and allows them to stand alone on an easel if you choose which make a great alternative to having them framed.

 

An oldie but a goodie… Frames! Now I know that I don’t frame my photos enough but when I eventually do it, I realise what a difference it makes! It’s one of those things that gets put off time and time again. So why not get us to frame your photos for you. We have a wide new selection of colurs + styles of frames to match any style or decor.

This frame shows the new feature which has an indent on the matt called V-groove. The V-groove adds that extra level of finish to your framed print and makes it look like a gallery showpiece!

Make sure to request the V-groove when ordering your frame!

V-grooves are also available for matted art prints.

 

Finally, you can’t go past a collection of images in a beautifully bound album. Modern albums are made using the highest quality materials, and we choose to use the best in the business, Queensberry!

One of our favourite albums from Queensberry are these new 8×8″ magazine style albums. These are a really great way to display and share your family portraits.

What does magazine style mean? Instead of a matted album where each photo is surrounded by card like what you see above, your photos are printed all the way to the edge of the page. These albums come with a variety of different cover choices and include 20 sides. Contact us to find out more about how you can order this with your next portrait session!

We also have a range of album covers and styles to choose from such as our new photo front album you can see below!

We’re always on the look out for new products and materials to display your photos. Sign up to receive our newsletter to keep up to date with our latest inclusions.

We hope you’ve been inspired by these products and are excited to see your amazing photos framed, mounted and bound. The most rewarding part of our job is when our clients come to collect their art prints, frames, canvases + albums – it’s then when the look on their faces really say it all and we are reminded that this is why we do what we do!

 

The Party Studio | Featured!

Excited to share the latest blog post from The Party Studio where I was interviewed by Pauline. Enjoy:)

 

Katherine + Justin | Engaged!

Self confessed science geeks- Katherine and Justin had lots of fun ideas for the Autumn shoot in the mountains. I love Autumn shoots. The colours are just so vibrant wherever we go and thanks to Breenhold Gardens, it was an amazing experience once again to shoot there. Thank God the rain held off and we were able to still go ahead with the shoot, (with all the amazing personalise props that Katherine sourced). The light sprinkling and misty fog just added to the mood and atmosphere.

Thanks J&K for your generosity to not only prepare a lovely dinner that night, but also for your hospitality in giving us a warm roof over our heads and brekkie so we didn’t have to drive home that night back to Sydney in the rain! It is truly special to have such wonderful clients whom we can also now call friends. We can’t wait for your wedding in Spring!:)

As they both met through their love for science, it was only appropriate that the science theme be brought out in the E-shoot ♥

The Party Studio + Sophisticated Yum | Spring Summer 2011

The 25deg day last week was awesome… bring on Spring!  I thought it was timely to post up these gorgeous photos of the latest Spring Summer range from The Party Studio and Sophisticated Yum.

We spoke to Pauline, who is the owner of both The Party Studio and Sophisticated Yum about what she’s been up to.

“It’s really been exciting to tap into my creative side with my two businesses, The Party Studio and Sophisticated Yum. The Party Studio is an online boutique that has a range of gorgeous products that will help you put together something special for your next event whether it’s a wedding or just a small dinner party with friends. Sophisticated Yum designs dessert tables and candy bars, something that is a fairly new trend in Australia and becoming more popular especially in the wedding industry. Designs largely focus on the couple of the moment, incorporating their personality into everything from the props right down through to the desserts. The tables are visually captivating but also very yum!”

For all you brides to be, check out some of these amazing creations as inspirations for your kitchen tea, reception table settings or bomboniere!!

Here are some sweet bombonierre ideas by Sweet ‘n’ Pretty.
