Back on track

I'm home from our great family vacation and trying to get back on track! Check back later today for a new "Friday Find" and for more on this cutie and her equally adorable family! Thank you for all the positive feedback so far on the Friday Finds I've posted so far. More great stuff to come!

Friday Finds

Press Printed Albums





I was wanting a sample of a Press Printed Album so this winter I made one using our family photos that were taken a couple summers ago by Melissa Diekema Photography.  I LOVE this album.  Not only because of the photos but because of the quality of the album.  The one thing I really love is there is no "seam" or "gutter" through the middle of the pages, the pages lay flat when it's open.  One of the great things about that is you can have a photo span across both pages.  This album is an 8x8 but other sizes are available as well.   This is a great way to "showcase" your photos from a family session all in one spot.   It also makes a great gift idea, too!

Friday Finds

This week I'm featuring a great product called a Standout. A Standout is a thick lightweight board finished with a black plastic edge and comes ready to display with hanging holes on the backside. It is available in two depths, 3/4" and 1-1/2", nothing extra needs to be done to prepare to display. I love this alternative to the traditional canvas plus it's a little less expensive as well.

Playing in the buttercups

This shoot almost didn't happen on this evening, it was a cool night, the wind was picking up and there was a chance of rain but we decided to go for it and am I sooo glad we did! We had a great time and got some great shots!  Thanks, Butch, Janna and girls for having us out!

A Happy 4th!

Hope you all had a great 4th of July yesterday! We did, although the weather wasn't terribly summery (extreme understatement!) we still had a great time.

(I had seen this idea somewhere a while ago and was anxious to try it. Thankfully I had some willing participants to play along! Thanks, guy!)

Friday Finds

Did you know that Simply Enjoy Photography offers gift certificates! If you can't decide on a gift for someone, why not give them a gift certificate?  Give me a call and I'll get one out right away.

(over the next several Fridays I'll be posting some various products and other great ideas of what to do with your photographs. If you have any suggestions of what you'd like to see, leave a comment and I'll see what I can do!)

These boys are ready for GQ

This one cracks me up (like many of them did). They look like they're cruising along somewhere, each doing their own thing.



What can I say, these guys are the best! Thanks for the great variety of faces, Alec. And Graeme, thanks for sitting and smiling so perfectly the whole time (what 9 month old does that!)
