I met up with Briana and Chris for a quick winter engagement session in Okemos. We didn’t have to travel far to get to our location:) It was one of those sunny winter days and fortunately, wasn’t too cold. Briana and Chris will be getting married this July in Charlevoix at the wonderful Castle Farms. I’m stoked to be photographing such a sweet and fun couple in such a beautiful location. Thanks for a fun time you two!
That’s right folks, I picked up my new letterpress business cards yesterday and they are super funky-funky-fresh. Actually, they are delicate, pretty, and timeless…exactly what I strive for with my branding and imagery. These beauties were printed by a local letterpress vendor who I can not recommend enough. Elevated Press is run by a husband and wife team here in Ann Arbor and Michelle and Pete are such kind, easy going people making everything about the process organic and fun. I really do love giving my money to local businesses and I love it even more when they are as great as Elevated Press! If you are a bride or groom in need of some gorgeous save-the-dates, invitations, thank you cards, or anything else that is letterpress papery goodness, contact Michelle over at Elevated Press and sit back and wait to be amazed at what she can create for you!
Here are the details…
220# Crane’s Lettra Duplex 100% cotton paper
Silver ink (Pantone 877) Love that it prints a beautiful gray with the tiniest bit of shimmer.
Double sided with my logo on one side and contact info on the other The logo side has a deeper impression, really making my logo pop.
3.5″ x 2″ Standard business cards size.
What’s a post about my cards without pics?!?
In case you’re not too familiar with letterpress, you really do need to SEE and FEEL them to appreciate their beauty
I receive about 5-10 emails a week from photographers asking all sorts of questions. I love to teach and share, but a lot of the emails I receive (about 90%) are from photographers out of state. It is really hard and time consuming to get back to everyone and I feel bad that I can’t, as I LOVE to share, teach, and help people so that they can get to where they want
I will still be putting on my Shareshop, later this year, but one thing I’ve been doing for a couple years now, is helping people out through the internet…thanks to apps like iChat and Skype. I’m thinking about starting to offer 90 minute sessions using iChat, so that those people that are not close to me, but really still want to learn, can.
I need some guinea pigs, that would be willing to receive a free 60 minute one-on-one session in return for feedback on ways I can offer more value to those who seek out my help. Here are the details:
•5 people…the first 5 people to respond to this post using my contact link at the top
•60 minutes one-one-one with me
•I will cover whatever you like with no hidden secrets
•Takes place over iChat (iChat is the most powerful app for teaching/helping online…sorry if you don’t have a Mac) *internet speed can be a factor*
•No charge in exchange for good feedback
I will update this post when I have received the first 5 contacts, but please feel free to leave a comment with any words you may have and/or if this is something you are interested in Chat with you soon!
5 GUINEA PIGS FOUND!!!!!
