Another baby girl this week who I can’t help but call Sweet Pea.  Her mom brought along some little peas in a pod that were a gift for her (mom) on her first christmas.  I love using elements that have meaning to the family!  Such a fun, creative family to work with – thanks so much for all your insight and suggestions – you guys were awesome.  I hope you find some shots you love.  I’ve already got ideas on how to work the girls in to the next session!  Your gallery will be ready very soon….enjoy your sneak peek!

I’m very excited to finally post a few images of a hard cover, flush mounted album for everyone to admire!  These have been an extremely popular product this summer and I think you can see why…. This one is 9×9 and has a custom photo wrapped hard cover with 30 pages.  Each page is 2mm thick and the color and vibrancy are stunning.  Albums now come in 3 sizes: 6×6, 9×9 and 12×12.  These really need to be seen to appreciated but hopefully these images will help you get an idea of their beauty!

Cute baby and toddler hats – I can’t get enough of these!  I sometimes get requests from Etsy sellers to take shots of their products for their online shops.  I am happy to do this as I love Etsy and have always found the most amazing handmade goodies from the various shops and I like supporting these entrepeneurs who are doing what they love (as am I).  I recently received some beautiful baby and toddler hats from the wonderful Joni at Joni’s Creative Creations http://www.etsy.com/shop/JoniCrochetCreations.  These hats are so sweet and my own girls instantly loved them.  I’ve already used them for a session this week and they just look so cute!  I was so impressed yesterday as the mom and I realized the hat we put on her little one was cotton and so soft.  Check her shop out for a great selection of soft hats for your kids.  Here’s a few shots of a couple of them.  Check my website for more kids photos http://www.heatherwagnerphotography.com

After MUCH agonizing, waiting and some obsessing, I have finally chosen an album vendor that fits the style of my photography and the needs of my clients.  I am so thrilled to introduce the new albums I am offering.  They come in two sizes, a 6×6  which comes with 20 pages, and the 9×9 which has 30 pages. 

A little more detail about these beautiful albums.  Each album is flush mounted, meaning they lay flat when opened (perfect for displaying on an easel or a shelf, open to a different page each day).  Your images are printed on Fuji professional photo paper and are matt coated and embossed.  These books are sturdy but still beautiful, and are made to withstand little fingers checking out the pages.  You will fall in love with these albums and will have it for generations to come.

Here are a few product photos to show off until I receive my studio sample!  Albums are available a la carte, and also as part of several collections.  Check my website for prices (look under the investment tab).  Enjoy.

More accordian albums arrived this week.  These have quickly become my new favorite product.  Sets of 3 accordian albums with up to 12 images of your choice, they are so cute.  I will be adding them to my price list this weekend and massaging a few of the collections as I’ve changed album vendors.

I am very excited to show off some new products I will be offering to my clients. These are mini accordian albums, and are  great for brag books or gifts. They are sized at 3×3, and come in packs of 3. I created these ones to give my brother and one to my grandparents when we go to visit. They’re small enough for grandma to carry in her purse, or unfold onto the mantle if she wants to admire them! You get 12 images into this little album, and the front and back or hard covers so they are quite durable. I have some templates to use when creating these or for a more contemporary look, consider one image per page! Check them out, I will be adding them my a la carte prices soon. I am also reworking my collections as I have had difficulties with the album company I’m working with. I’ve decided to switch vendors meaning the product will be different but there will be a price decrease, so that’s good for everyone. The albums will be  high quality coffee tables and I had a chance to view some last week and really liked them.  It’s hard to choose vendors as they are all in the USA and we can’t just run out and ‘touch them’ to see if we like them…  Details coming later this week. Now here’s the accordian albums!
