I’ve Got My Photos, Now What?!

Montgomery Photographer

I know what you’re thinking. Duh, Aimee. I’m going to make one of those awesome gallery walls everyone else is making! What kind of Montgomery photographer doesn’t know about those? Ha! Okay, but seriously have you seen those beautiful grids all over Instagram? I’m working on making one for my own living room, because our photos in print are SO important!

My three year old is suddenly obsessed with seeing pictures of our family. He wants to see himself, mommy and daddy, baby brother, grand parents, etc! Our albums {coming soon to AHP!} are one of his favorite things to look through! When he gets married, I want to make sure I have photos to give him of his childhood. I have no idea what kind of technology will be around, but I know for certain that printed photographs will hold more value than anything else we can pass down to him. You see, those are his memories. They will be the moments he remembers, or the tiny details he never knew. There will come a day that he will want to hold a photo of his mother or father more than anything in the world. For now, let’s hang those gorgeous photos on your wall, print them in an album for your coffee table, or place them in a beautiful display box for all to admire! Then, when your kids are grown, you have something to hand down to them!

Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything. Aaron Siskind

What are my options?

The sky is the limit, my friend! I have my favorites available to see and hold in my studio, but there are so many things that we can create! The most popular choices are framed portraits ready to hang, canvas, keepsake boxes, albums, and torn edge prints! (I will share more about the deckled (torn edge) prints in another post, because those are just a whole post full of luxury and beauty!) Here are a few samples of the new products this fall!

Keepsake Boxes

You say you love pictures,  and you booked the works–maternity, newborn, sitter, and cakesmash! What in the world are you going to do with all of those pictures? An album of course! Or, if that’s not your cup of tea, this keepsake box is just right! It will fit a year’s worth of images easily! It even would make the perfect gift for grandparents and family members! How will you fill your box?

What could be more precious than a naked baby at the beach? How about that beautiful rose gold USB? Each keepsake box also comes with a USB to hold each of your portraits!

Mounted Prints

Would you like it in an easel? Would you like it in a frame? I do not like them in a computer! I do not like that Sam I am. (Just making sure you’re still with me!)

Albums

Before I present you with my luxury albums, I want to share my favorite mini-albums with you! These are also perfect for grandparent gifts because they come as a set of 3! The pages of this accordion album are slightly thicker and textured with fine linen.

Ready to Hang, Framed Portraits

These framed portraits are by far one of my favorite services that I have for my clients.   Searching for the perfect frame to match your home can be tough! I have done all the hard work for you by gathering them all in one place! When you order a framed print, your item will be ready for you to immediately hang it up on your walls as soon as it is in your hands!

What Should We Wear?

Guys, I have a big surprise for you! I have been drooling over Honey Tree Style & Select for a few months now, but have been too nervous to pull the trigger. Well, I finally did it and you are going to absolutely love it!

There are 3 keys to a successful session: light, location, and wardrobe. In my opinion, the third one is the hardest to achieve, but also one of the most powerful pieces to the puzzle. The colors, textures, and shape in your clothing really create a polished, cohesive portrait!  I’ve found something that is quick and easy to help you!

What is it?

The Woodlands Family Photographer

Honey Tree Style & Select is an online styling tool for photographers and their clients. It was started by two photographers who were looking for a styling solution for their own clients because we all know that styling a family can be tough.  Styling involves a lot of research, coordination, and time in the stores. Just taking the time to do the shopping is hard when you have young kiddos. (My two boys are not shoppers!) This is going to completely change how you feel about dressing your family for portraits!

How does it work?

After booking, all clients will receive an email containing an exclusive access code. Once you are logged into the system, you will be asked for details about your family like ages/sizes and genders. The final questions are for your overall “style” and color choices.  Then, like magic, you will be given coordinating options for every member in your family! The clothing choices come from stores you already know and love, with some new faces thrown in as well!  You will then be able to “favorite” items to see them paired with the rest of your family’s clothing. At the top of the page, you will see a little box like this to help you see how your choices look together.

When you have finished, the final step is to use the email button to email them to yourself. Your email will list all of your selections along with a link to purchase the items! Quick, easy, and quite fun! The best part is that it will also email your selections to me for feedback as well! Y’all this is going to take every bit of stress and guess work out of planning your portraits! These girls have picked pieces that are portrait worthy and will photograph well. I truly can’t wait for the first clients to get their email!
