5. Create custom photo a vase.

Think beyond the white mug, and print a black-and-white photo on a clear or white self-adhesive label, and place it on a smooth ceramic vase. Office supply stores carry adhesive labels in a variety of sizes, from small return address labels to 8 1/2-x-11-in. sheets for inkjet and laser printers.

I know I have been hinting for a bit now, about some BIG news going on here. Well, I am excited to say I can finally spill the beans on one project. Recently I was asked by an amazing company, A Tiny Perspective (a state of the art 3D & 4D Ultrasound office) to create a display of my newborn work for their new location. I gladly agreed and began work with A Tiny Perspective’s owners Gina & Joe to create a display that would look amazing in their space! I am thrilled with the results and honestly even a bit jealous I don’t have a studio or office space for this kind of display. LOL!

Let me tell you a bit about A Tiny Perspective. They specialize in 3D & 4D Ultrasounds for expectant mothers. They are located in downtown Glastonbury, CT on 701 Hebron Ave and open by appointment only Monday thru Friday, with evening and weekend appointments available by request. Unlike traditional ultrasound office visits, A Tiny Perspective offers an experience that you will cherish forever. The large, private viewing room has all the comforts of home. The expectant mother and loved ones can relax as they watch their baby on a large screen TV. If you or someone you know is expecting you MUST go see them. You won’t regret it! Give them a call today (860) 652-8469 or visit their website for more information here.

And without further ado, here is my display.

Decorating with photos

Friday is upon us once again. And I finally had a chance to sit and read the ever growing magazine pile on my desk. Most of you probably don’t know this but, I am a self-professed magazine junkie. I am a very visual person and find so much inspiration for all things in magazines. I subscribe to about 5 magazines and get countless catalogs as well. I pour over each and everyone, ripping pages and taking notes. I know it sounds kinda silly but it really helps to inspire me. I have even started a large binder for all my clippings and have them arranged by category. It’s nice to just flip through the binder before a session, or when I need some decorating inspiration, a craft idea or whatever I am in the mood for.

Anyway, before I run off to begin my super busy weekend I wanted to share an article I just read in Country Living Magazine. I know my clients often have tons of favorite images from their sessions and are always looking for ways to display them. So when I saw this I just had to share. The article is called fresh exposure and can be found in the May issue of the magazine. In the article, they feature 5 creative ideas to display your favorite images from a new book written by photographer Monica Rich Kosann called Living With What You Love.

You can read the article online here, as well as enter for a chance to win a copy of the book. So you should definitely check it out!

Or if you are like me and just can’t wait you can purchase a copy of the book here. Have a great weekend!
