Holiday Cards 2010
Posted on August 27, 2010
Just wanted to give you guys a sneak peek of some of this years’ Holiday cards! I’m so excited about them! They will be available in the Powerhouse Studios Store next week. What I love about these designs is they are flexible enough to become Save the Dates or announcements or cards of any kind.
I will be announcing dates for Mini-Sessions soon, too, in preparation for Christmas. Book your holiday sessions now! The cutoff date for holiday portraits will be November 15th, and there are a limited number of dates available between now and then. If you’ve already had your session this year, and would like to order cards with images from that session, let me know and I will re-post your images for 7 days so that you can order your holiday cards and gifts.
Stay tuned for more info!

Inspiration: Wall Displays
Posted on August 25, 2010
One of the aspects I really love about photography is that, not only can you caputure moments in time for future generations to see, but you can also use it to create personal art pieces in your home. Paintings and stock photography have their place, but decorating your house with personal images really gives that feeling of “home” that we all strive for.
Keri just sent me the following photo of the wall collage she put together using photos from their recent portrait session at the Kiddie Park. I love the clean lines, the simple design, and the fact that it’s a real focal point in the room! This just goes to show that you don’t always have to order a huge 30×40 canvas in order to make a statement. (Although that’ll do the trick, too!) This is an easy and affordable way to display your photos and tell a story.

Keri, thanks for sending me your idea! You will be receiving a $40 Powerhouse Studios gift certificate! For more wall display ideas, check out the Inspire Guide gallery on the Client portion of our website! If you have displayed your portraits or wedding photos in a beautiful or unique way, please send us a photo. If your display is selected to be featured on the blog, you will also receive a $40 gift certificate!

Heather & Chris – Holiday Cards
Posted on November 30, 2008
I just wanted to take a second to show you the Christmas cards we put together for Heather & Chris. We took the design from one of our holiday card sets and made a few adaptations to it and I think it came out really nice! More to come!

The Holidays!
Posted on November 13, 2008
This is the first year we’ve offered press printed holiday cards and I’m so excited! In the past, photo cards have been printed on photo paper and, more often than not, were kinda cheesy. Now there is an awesome alternative! There are several different sizes and paper types available, ranging from $2-4 each, so order yours soon!
Here are some of the designs that you can choose from, and I’m working on putting together some other simpler, modern designs too! The designs below are for 5×5 or 5×7 flat cards, but they can be modified and we can create an inside design too if you are wanting folded cards. Let me know if you’ve got questions!

Ideas & Inspiration: Kelly
Posted on October 9, 2008
There are so many things that you can do with photos (especially these days), and I just love seeing what things clients do with their portraits! I was in awe when Kelly sent me this adorable invitation she put together using one of the portraits from our recent session. Kelly will be receiving a $25 Powerhouse Studios credit for sharing her wonderful creation! I want to invite the rest of you to send photos of how you used or displayed your Powerhouse Studios portraits, and you will also receive a $25 credit if we publish your submission. Email breanna [at] ph-studios dot com to share!

NEW! Guest Books
Posted on September 17, 2008
Let’s take a poll… how many of you married folks had a guest book at your wedding? Everyone? Okay, how many of you have actually looked at your guest book since your wedding day? Do you even know where it is?! I know I don’t have a clue where mine is, and you know what… it’s not that important to me, because all I am going to find when I find my guest book is a list of names. Names that matter to me, but its a list, all the same. On white lined paper in a plain white book. Well things are about to change!
We’re helping the Guest Book to become a keepsake that matters. A hard back book customized with pictures from your bridal or engagement session (or we can even scan in pictures from your childhood!) that your guests can write in. There are not lines or strict formats, just pages full of space for your guests to write a meaningful note or a funny memory. This is a priceless keepsake from your wedding that you can look at again and again for years to come.
