Fine Art Prints make Great Christmas Presents

Calgary Skyline in the Ice Fog New Images in the Fine Art Prints Gallery I have recently added a couple of new images to the Fine Art Prints Gallery in the client area of the website. This brings the total number if images available in this collection to 26. These images are selected from my favorite nature and landscape images, and mostly come from the Canadian Rocky Mountains or the Prairies East of Calgary. These beautiful images make great Christmas presents. If you are trying to find a perfect gift for someone that's hard to buy for or if you just want to get something a little different this year then this gallery might be perfect for you. All of the images in the gallery are available as Photographic Prints, Canvas Gallery Wraps, or they can be Framed. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and finishes. If you are into finishing them yourself then you can go for a simple print; however, you can also buy a completely finished piece that comes fully assembled and ready to hang. Custom products are also available if there is something specific you have in mind. View the images in the Fine Art Prints Gallery

Print credits? What are print credits?

Nelson Siblings at The Ranche Print credits? What are print credits? I get that question all the time! Up to now my Lifestyle and Studio Portrait sessions were charged at a fixed price that included a dollar value that could be used toward a future order of gift prints, collections, or enlargements. Almost every one of my clients over the last year has had questions about what that meant, how they could be used, and so on. I have simplified the entire process! Yay! Going forward every family or children's portrait session will include a specific set of products rather than a dollar value worth of print credits. For example the Lifestyle Portrait Session and the Studio Portrait Session both include an 8x10, (2) 5x7's and a set of 8 wallets. This included items could change in the future but for now that's what it is. This will be much easier for everyone to understand and I am very excited to implement it! Note that this has not yet changed for some of the other types of sessions I offer. For example, maternity sessions, newborn sessions, and weddings all still include print credits. When I get some more time I will be completely revamping those guides as well...

Christmas Ordering Deadline

I'm starting to get asked about when orders need to be placed to ensure that they arrive in time for Christmas. Although the normal turnaround time for orders is 7-10 days (or longer for custom designed pieces), rush orders can often be done in as few as 4 days (additional charges may apply). Having said that, Christmas is always busier for the suppliers that I use and also for the shipping companies. Please try to allow at least 2 weeks for standard orders to be sure they arrive in time for Christmas. If you could get your orders in by Friday, December 11th that would be ideal. After that date please call and I'll do the best that I can to get your order done in time! It may be possible to get orders completed in time for Christmas as late as December 21st; however, special shipping arrangements (and increased cost) may be required. Note that Gift Certificates are also available at any time. These make great last-minute gifts for those hard-to-buy-for people!

Image in Use: eCanada Bond Review

I was recently contracted to create an editorial image for the Fall/Winter issue of "eCanada Bond Review", which is a financial industry trade publication produced by CanDeal for their clients. The image was to support an article about the City of Calgary's use of electronic trading technology in its treasury department, and was to feature 2 city employees. There were no specific instructions on what the image should depict, other than it should be a portrait of the 2 employees. I wanted to create an image that showed something of Calgary rather than to just show the employees in a faceless corporate environment (as editorial images used in corporate magazines so often do). Because the subjects of the photo both work at City Hall in Calgary it immediately made sense to step outside so that we could include the Calgary Tower in the image. We shot a number of other corporate style images using the glass and metal of the Plus 15 as a backdrop, but I was pretty sure that they would end up using one of the Calgary Tower images. Sure enough they did. You can download the magazine from the publications section of the CanDeal website if you want to learn more.
