Freshly Snapped Photos {BUY 1 GET 1 FREE}

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Wall decor is a necessity in making a house a home.  Lately, for some reason, I’ve visited plenty of homes where their owners are very sparse in the “art” department, some people never add photos or decor to their walls, NOTHING, just plain white walls!  That would drive me insane!  I’m an advocate of…not clutter per say…but of keeping variety alive amongst the art work in your home; this meaning personal pieces {photos of family and friends or handmade art by your children}, vintage or classic pieces {antiques or treasures passed down}, modern must haves {mirrors, wine racks, Pier One specials}, and than of course, those unique pieces that bring it all together.  Those are what I have for you today!

And we’re not talking hundreds of dollars spent on one of a kind art pieces, we’re talking distinctive art, at affordable prices!  Fresh Snapped Photos on Etsy offers brilliant, unique “photos” for you to display around your home or office, perfect for redecorating an entire room or for that last piece, for the final perfect touch added to any space!  These 5 x 7 images {or larger} fit all types of decor in all types of houses, whether you have a country home, a new modern condo, an old Victorian, or a studio apartment, you’ll find a unique photo at Fresh Snapped Photos that will look just right on that bare spot of wall you’ve been meaning to fill!

Meet the photographer Lori, the “artist” behind Fresh Snapped Photos {you’ll also find her and more of her masterpieces on her blog Paisley Wallpaper, at Marzipan Inc., and Fin-Roe}; she’s a busy little bee sharing her creations with the world along with her husband Chris, can you blame them for having 3 fabulous companies offering superb quality products…NOT AT ALL, I don’t know about you but I want to see more from Lori!  She’s got a gift for capturing life {and nature, and the world in general} at it’s finest moments and I would be honored to have her work displayed in my home!

For a fabulous Black Friday deal, from Friday November 27th to Monday November 30th, anyone that orders a fine-art print from Fresh Snapped Photos will get a 2nd print of equal or lesser value absolutely FREE!

Multiply Photo Book {GIVEAWAY}

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Are you like me and have tons, and tons of pictures stored on your computer?  Since I had my baby in January of last year, I have thousands of pictures saved on my PC.  Well, why not do something with those precious pictures!  I was really excited to have the opportunity to do a sample book through Multiply.  This was so easy and fun to do, and my book turned out so fabulous.  The process is very simple,  just choose a theme, pick a cover, and add your photos.

“Multiply’s Photo Books Named Outstanding Product of 2009 By Disney’s iParenting Media Awards “

I went with the baby book theme, and chronicled all those special moments during my son Charlie’s  first year. It was so easy to do! I installed the Multiply AutoUploader, which makes uploading photos very quick and easy. Multiply is the only major social network site that offers this fantastic feature. Navigating through the Multiply website is super easy, and I had so much fun deciding on what layout to go with. I was able to chronicle photos from the day my son was born through those exciting first holidays and special moments in his first year of life.

Just drag and drop your photos with a click of the mouse. It’s also great that you have the option to add captions, and since you use Multiply, you have the option to use photos from contacts albums as well.  When my book (above) arrived, I was thrilled!  I love it so much. Each and every page is so special and meaningful and the picture quality is superb.  It was also so neat that I got to write a special note to my little guy on the back cover. I have gotten so many wonderful comments on my book, and its something that I will cherish forever.  My little boy loves looking at all these special moments in his very own book.

Kacey Rehg Photography {Charlotte}

Friday, October 16th, 2009

Hey locals, have I got a wonderful photography studio for all your growing bellies, babies & beyond needs!  Check out the amazing photo galleries of Kacey Rehg Photography, and prepare to plan for a reason to have yourself or your kids portraits taken!

With both of my prior pregnancies I had every intention of photographing the memory, but you know how things go, and good intentions never happen…  Well, I knew if I didn’t do anything else new and exciting for this 3rd little boy growing inside of me, I would be photographing his “early months”.  I especially love the classic look of older siblings rubbing & loving on their little brother or sister, still in the womb.  These are just the most precious images to me & will add a very special touch to any new baby’s nursery.

So this past weekend, we hired Kacey Rehg for her classic & timeless portrait photography services!  Her style is exactly what I was looking for, with the simple & crisp black and white backgrounds, that allow for the bellies & babes to shine even more.

Kacey was fabulous to work with!  Both of the kids warmed up to her right away, and the entire session went off without a hitch!  One of the greatest things about hiring Kacey, besides her calm & friendly nature, was that she came to us.  No need for us to pack up outfits and the family for a studio session, when she had all the tools she needed to set up in the comfort of our home.

I received my online proof gallery just days after the shoot, and am so impressed with the way they came out, despite my initial hesitation to look at my semi-nude self.  No, I am not posting my proofs here…  Those will only be available for private viewings in my home!

So if you are in Charlotte, and you’re looking for a wonderful maternity portrait photographer, who will know just how to make you “glow” then Kacey Rehg is your woman!

For those of you not in Charlotte, considering maternity portraits, I highly recommend you find a reputable photographer, and just go with it!  It is so worth it & those are photos you’ll have to treasure for always!
