storyboards galore

Emily Law of Flom Designs and Photography is the storyboard queen! She also tells me they are her biggest sellers…clients love them! You can do so much with them! Here are some of her favorites.

textures!!

I’m a sucker for boys with blue eyes (just ask my husband)! Look at the colors and the textures in this shot by LillieLane!!! She used Urban Textures from the store.

Defog it!!!

I run Holly’s Defog action on EVERY SINGLE image I process. You would not believe the difference it makes! Tonya & Co ran it on this amazing image.

pink.inkspiration::books & albums

Books and albums aren’t just for weddings anymore. Some other great ways to offer albums to your clients are for:

• Newborn session
• Bun-in & out sessions (maternity & then newborn shoot)
• Senior portraits
• Birthday Parties
• A day in the life book
• Details of the wedding, instead of the traditional album
• Love book

Have you heard of KISS albums…

and their so easy, so simple philosophy?

Holly has some amazing spreads in the store for their albums. Love them! (There are also other album templates – check them all out here, and don’t forget they are on sale until April 15^th. Click here for more info). Album templates are a great way to shorten the amount of time that you spend on making your books & albums (‘cause we all know that time = money) and I love their versatility too.

While you’re checking out the KISS website, make sure you have a look at the “little KISSes” – they are so cute! A great gift to clients, or an add-on for parents, grandparents, and the like.

And you can also check out more discussions on books and albums by subscribing to the forums.

pink.inkspiration::february

Looking for a little inspiration? Here are some things to get you going for the month of February:

1. I’d love to see a gorgeous Mark Brooke bride in front of this neutral but jazzy back drop. (Wallpaper from romofabrics.com)

2. I’m in love with these love seal brushes from Tara Sroka, which you can get right here at Pink Ink Studios! Make them any color you want and use them for everything from Valentine’s day cards to birth announcements.

3. I love the simplicity of this red mokara bouquet from redenvelope.com, but mostly I chose it for it’s great color combination.

4. I’ve been spotting umbrellas everywhere in photos. I would choose this Signature Bella Umbrella in pink (you can customize the umbrella and handle) from signaturebella.com.

5. February 7, 2008 is Chinese New Year. Order take-out while you work on your latest batch of photos. Chinese Lantern by kassyjo86.

6. Find love in unlikely places, or at least, find hearts. I Searched for “heart” in flickr groups and found this photo, wooden heart by rollinoldman, in the group “The Unexpected Heart”.

For more February inspiration, check out the Valentine’s Day cards in the shoppe and participate in Melissa’s “Everday Inpsirations” challenge.
