Gina Schroeder Creations

For those of you who follow this blog, I’m sure you have heard this name quite a few times… but I just had to add a separate post to give a shout out to the super-talented artist, Gina Schroeder!!!!

Gina worked many many hours helping us on a promo shoot a few weeks back and I just had to share a few of the gorgeous models.  Granted, they are naturally beautiful, but Gina just knows how to work her magic to really make everyone’s best features just jump out.

And of course, a VERY big thank you to our stunning models, Briana, Tina, and Kenzie… you guys ROCK!!!!

(Jordan Cook (jordanmcclane@gmail.com) did a fabulous job on the hair, dresses are all from Brides by Demetrios and the location is the Gainey Ranch Golf Club in Scottsdale.  More images from this shoot soon…)

Jen — THIS IS SO COOL! I know the Royal Palms is such a unique resort and it is a huge honor to get to be their chosen photographer for this. Of course I think you will be an amazing choice for this since your boudoir work is so stylish, tasteful and has amazing/unique moody light! Congrats on this!   ( February 22, 2010 @ 9:49 pm )

Mother’s Milk Boutique

I have had the wonderful privilege of working with the lovely ladies at Mother’s Milk this past year.  They are an amazing resource for all new mothers and soon to be mothers… if you are pregnant, have a newborn, or just need a baby gift, they are definitely worth checking out.

I have been working with an incredibly talented framer and love these new whimsical frames she has been making for me.  They are on display at Mother’s Milk, so take a look and let me know if you would be interested having us put together a wall gallery for you.

Kristina — Those frames look so great with your photos! I tried to have a similar frame made for one of baby Paige's photos in her room, but it didn't turn out that well. I am definitely going to go check these out and let you know if I want to get one! (Finding a frame for the 5 x 5 photo I have of P is hard).   ( February 13, 2010 @ 11:49 am )

LaTricia — These really look Great!   ( February 13, 2010 @ 12:22 pm )

Shaliece — You know I LOVE those frames and I think I will need to order a few for the new house!! I will try to think of some fun colors and get back to you.   ( February 15, 2010 @ 11:31 am )

Jennifer Garbett — Marnee...this post makes me want to head over there and go shopping! What a cute store and great job on all the adorable frames!!   ( February 15, 2010 @ 3:51 pm )

Holiday Card Samples

Here they are… whew… sample holiday cards.  It is hard for me to show off samples, but I really customize these to fit your style, image, and message.  But, this is a starting point.  All these cards can be made into a flat (2-sided) card or a fold over or tri-fold card.  The first few designs show folded cards.  The final designs just show the front of the card.  The back can contain multiple images and text as well.  There is no design fee for going with one of these designs and we will modify it to best fit your style.

If you would like a totally custom card, I charge $95.00 to custom-design a card.  These include photocards, press-printed flat cards, or the folded card.  We can incorporate multiple images, text, and greetings.

All cards are either 5×7 or 5×5 and include envelopes.  There are three printing styles available- photocards, flat cards, and folded cards.  Pricing is quoted for sets of 24.

PHOTOCARD (printed on photographic paper)

24 - $37.50

FLAT CARD - 2 sided (press printed on high quality cardstock, similar to greeting cards - can be printed in fine art linen, watercolor, standard gloss, and metallic pearl (15% upcharge.)

24 - $50.00

FOLDED CARD (press printed card style, similar to greeting cards - can be printed in fine art linen, watercolor, standard gloss, and metallic pearl printing available on all 4 sides)

24 - $75.00

And now for the samples.  Remember, text and colors can be modified…
