Simple vs Artistic

On the new portrait site I have two options for sessions. The simple session or the artistic session. Just to give you an idea of the differences here, I thought I would give you a small taste of a few of the many finishes that your pictures can have. All of these are custom to Silverline. The homestead action I did purchase, but then combined it with another action and then tweaked it after that.

When you book a simple session all of your images are presented to you in full color.
When you book an artistic session, your images will be presented in any of the bazillion finishes I think they look good in. If you don't like a finish we change it. Simple.

Next time I will show you a few art pieces. You will get one to three of these with the artistic package. They are very very custom finishes (textures, overlays, custom brush appliques etc. )applied after the color finish to give it texture and depth. Once images have those and are printed on canvas in a decent size, well, now you have a piece of art my dear.

New Website


The new portrait site is officially up and live. Whew. All the info is there regarding new pricing and some very new packages for 2009. There is also a whole section on Fine Art Products, something I have always carried but, without a consultation, you would just never know about some of these fun and fresh things. You will all be so pleased to know that this years packages offer a gifted negative release of printable files. This is huge. Check out the website for all the details.


Another fun thing to know is that I will be in Salt Lake City for 10 days for the first two weeks of April. I will be doing on location shoots during that time for a killer special you wont want to miss. If you live in the area or will be in the area please email me to set up a time. I have done this in the past and it works beautifully. Here is how travel photography from Silverline works:


1.Choose a location. I can give you lots of ideas or choose it myself but, if I have not been to the area before then I require you to find the location of the shoots. This can be downtown, out in the country or at a park - wherever.


2. Book at least 4 sessions on one day, depending on where you live this may be less or more than 4. These sessions can be friends, family, whoever is interested in getting pics done.


3. Split travel fees - if I am travelling to the area (such as my April SLC trip) for another reason, you will NOT be charged these fees.


4. You get your session FREE. Zero. Nada. Complimentary for all those other bookings you spent hard work setting up. Sweet!


5. Session fees are due at the time of session, cash only.


6. Enjoy wonderfully fun original pictures of you and yours forever and ever. And ever.


So if this intrigues you, get in touch with me and everyone you know, really, and we can make something happen. :) I love travelling, and with the warm weather pretending to come, it is giving me studio fever. I want to be outdoors!
Have a great week!

Jessica and JR

Jessica is from New Brunswick and JR is originally from the Philippines. This was a fantastic couple on a day with perfect light, perfect weather, and the perfect amount of time. It was, well, Perfect.

Chloe

Sweet, sweet baby. I loved how sleepy and happy she was. Good babies like this make me hungry...but not that hungry. hehe.







I love this name, so classic and sweet. Very adorable. And that hair! I am always jealous of mothers who have babies with hair!!
Miss Sarra is NEXT and I can't wait to see her sweet little girl! Wahoo for the 24th!
This is a 5x7 and can be printed as a photo or on paper of choice. I would pick the art paper in linen. It's my fav.

Heston Hubbard












This is little Heston with Grandma and Grandpa along with Mom and Dad. How fun is that to have grandparent pictures?! This sweetheart was the best baby I think I have ever seen. I told Mandy that she can be surrogate for me - what an Angel!! I am so thrilled for them to have such an adorable baby to two of the nicest and most tender parents I have ever met. Congrats.



Seth














Tess is such a cute new mommy to this little sweetheart. He was sooo good and slept and slept...lucky mom! And lucky baby for having such sweet parents, - good thing they live close, it makes kidnapping easier.

boy announcements

I thought I would post a few more to give you a sweeter taste at how fun these can be. And the choices! Well, they are as high as the sky.


This first one is two sided and 5x5 in size. Printed on linen paper.


This is a 5x7 one sided card, can be printed on linen paper, cardstock or as a photo.

This last one is a 4x8 one sided card that again can be printed as a photo, on cardstock or linen paper.

Now Myriam, which one do you want?










For Myriam

As if this is not so cute - I love it!

Announcement


I usually don't post these but I thought I would today. Announcements are so fun - they can be printed on photo paper as a one sided photograph - very economical - or can be press printed on linen paper and be two sided or folded, in a variety of sizes. Every fall the Christmas cards are press printed and are hot! It's so fun to be able to do them up as baby announcements, wedding invites, shower announcements, grad announcements, thank-yous, you name it! F-U-N. I have Tons of samples I have done over the years if your curious. A definite way to stand out!

Back


Allie the little church mouse.


Isaiah the adorable.

I really do have the cutest neices and nephews...just so you know.




Congrats to Jody and Daniel on such a doll, so tiny.





So I am back, finally, and yes it is March. Talk about fast! So many things going on and lots to post... soon... I think I said that last month too...hehe. I have lots of updates and things to post on upcoming sessions and yes, dum da dum, negative releases. With a huge amount of buyouts in Feb for our special I have decided to re-vamp things a bit with the launch of my portrait site..and you'll see some wedding changes too!


I will be in Salt Lake in April for up to two weeks and am currently booking my time full there. More on that to come in a few days. Also, I am also in the middle of putting the final touches to the 2009 grad/senior packages. I think however, these will be launched in April. If you are interested in being a 'high profile '09 model' ...hehe... for the grad sessions, let me know right away.


I have a select few days in March and April I opened for sessions, and May is already filling up.
When wedding season hits (does it really ever end?) weekends for Family sessions are very difficult to fill. Please book in plenty of time if you know weekends are the only time that works. I will be doing very limited portraits and families on Saturdays from May 1st through to the end of August.


Stay tuned for all the yummy news and exciting details!
