So, our Monet-inspired version arrived! I am in LOVE with this new product. The 20×30 we ordered will be great for the wall above a love seat or over a mantle.

I can not wait to make these for clients. Our bridal portraits (and families and kids and everything else, too) are about to rock this world!

I’m so excited to show this off that I have done my first ever “mass” mailing. In late July or early August, 1,000 of you in a targeted demographic (which had to be narrowed down severely to get only 1,000, of course) will get a postcard advertising this new technique and product.

So, if you’d like to see the new watercolor, schedule an appointment today. We’d love to show it off!

Re-touched images. If a client wants further editing for an 8×10 or larger image, will re-touch the image. Small changes are included with the cost of the print as long as requests are emailed before a print order is placed.. Larger changes are billed at a rate of $60 hourly.

This article on fototiler shows how to do this with Photoshop.

will happily create these pages for your from any engagement images purchased in 8×10 or larger sizes.

Here is the final image.

Mr. & Mrs. Lance & Kim Parr met as Freshmen at Texas A&M University when they both joined the Aggie Cinema organization (later known as Film Society) in the Memorial Student Center. They’ve been engaged since 1993!

Congratulations on finally tying the knot! Kudos for doing it in such a uniqe, fun, and classic way!

• Allow to use your engagement images to create photo pages where guests can sign next to the image of you and across the scenery in that image. This digital photo guest book option starts at just $ 65 for a leather book with an inset cover photo and 20 pages for lines.
  (lines do not render well in thumbnail view; click for larger image.)
  

  a vignette around the couple keeps them rich in color and bright on the page
  
  a washed background image allows signatures to remain legible

• Use a scrap book. Yes, a scrap book. While As You Wish takes formal images of you and your party and family back at the ceremony site, have an honored guest take a photo of each guest/couple/family entering the reception. Give each individual/group a 12×12 scrapbook page with a rectangle reserved for the 5×7 image of their photo. Give them acid-free pens and allow them the freedom to go wild. They will write sweet notes, and even draw pictures. The result is a one-of-a-kind treasure.

Regardless of what guest book you choose, make sure it reflects your style and tastes. Do not be sold on what is “supposed” to be unless you feel that that is a reflection of you.

Before: This clients loved this tree and wanted a portrait made here. But, there were several things wrong with the location. The lighting was weak, there were several items in the background, and she had to pose strangely to maintain balance in the tree.

After: The result is a much better image. The focus is now on the couple and not the other items in the shot.

• clouds added to the clear and bright sky
• her face is brightened
• his skin is smoothed
• the tip of her shoe is removed from against the tree
• background distractions are removed, muted, and/or blurred
