Holiday Card Designs: 2011!! {Northville, MI and Metro Detroit portrait photographer}

I can't believe it's already September....and time to start thinking about holiday cards!  This year, I'm excited to offer five unique designs for 4.5 x5-inch and 5x7-inch flat cards.  I'm also introducing a new selection of Boutique Holiday cards, that are die cut in fun and novel shapes.  You can see examples of each of these cards below.  As in the past, all cards can be customized with your own selections of colors, text, and greetings.  I can't wait to start customizing these beautiful cards for the 2011 Holiday Season!!  

Oh, and don't forget - any sessions held in September receive 20% off of their holiday card order!  I still have a few sessions slots available!





Drum roll please..... I'm so very excited to offer these four Boutique holiday card designs.  The pricing for these unique cards is different than the standard rectangular flat card design.  These are a great way to make a statement with your holiday cards!  Contact me for more info (christine@christinelongphotography.com).




A September announcement and a Sneak Peek! {Northville, MI Portrait Photographer}

For the past few weeks I have been working on a really exciting overhaul of my proofing "system" and product offerings.  So, starting with sessions held this month, I will be offering an exclusive Session Premiere night during which you will see your full set of proofs unveiled to a special backdrop of music, personally selected by me.  During this Session Premiere, which will occur 2-3 weeks after your session, I will come to your house to debut your session images over a decadent dessert of your choice.  (I'll have a selective dessert menu from you to choose from before the session - all desserts will come from Edward's Cafe in Northville).  The Session Premiere is an exclusive service for my clients, and I'm very excited to take the time to come to your home and help you plan and design custom wall art.  To make things even sweeter, special a la carte pricing will be available on all orders placed during the Session Premiere night only.  Following the Premiere night, I will post your proofs to a password protected online gallery, as I have in the past, for you to share with friends and family.  In addition to a la carte pricing, I'm also introducing three new collections for you to choose from.  They're listed in detail below!

So what exactly is the debut of proofs set to music?  Here's a sample below.  This does not represent a full session of images, which usually includes 30-40 images and sometimes more.   In fact, this doubles as the K. Family session sneak peek!  But this gives you the idea of what this special premiere will include! K family - I really hope you enjoy this sneak peek - I can't wait to share all of your proofs with you soon!! 





But wait....there's more!  I'm also adding three collections to my print and product offerings!  I will still offer all of my a la carte products, as well.  The collections are:

Collection 1: 
 Includes one 20x30 canvas gallery wrap, one image box with 20 mounted 5x7 images and an easel for display, a complimentary future session, a DVD of the session premiere slideshow, a DVD of all of the digital negatives (images) with a print release, six gift prints of 5x7 size or smaller, and 50 custom-designed press-printed cards using images from the session.  
$2,100 (value of $2,950) 

Collection 2:
Includes one 16x20 canvas gallery wrap, one image box with 10 mounted 5x7 images and an easel for display, a complimentary future session, a DVD of the session premiere slideshow, and a DVD of all of the digital negatives (images) with a print release.
$1,400 (value of $2,400)

Collection 3:

$550 (value of $850)

Senior Album! {Northville, MI and Metro Detroit Senior Portrait Photographer}

Today, I'm so excited to share an example of a hard cover, coffee table-style senior portrait album.  The unique thing about this particular album is that it was designed to be used as a guest book at a graduation party, or to pass along to friends to capture memorable quotes and memories.  The size of this album is 10x10 inches and it features 20 pages, each with multiple photographs from Lindsay's senior session.  A coffee-table album, whether used as a guest book or just a photo album, is a great way to showcase many, many photos from your session.  I custom design each album, so no two albums are exactly alike and each album reflects the personality and style of the senior.  Contact me for more information!! 


Here are the second and third pages, with space for graduation party guests to sign!

Want to record memories of friendships before leaving for college?  How about adding in pages that completely personalize your album and allow you and your friends to record your special memories?

Not crazy about having the album double as a guest book?  No problem - I can design albums that are filled to the brim with your stunning senior pictures!

All of the pages in the coffee table albums are hinged and designed to lay perfectly flat.
