One of our most popular wedding items is the custom photo guest book. What a great keepsake! This 8×8 book includes photos from your engagement session and has lots of room for your guests to write well wishes or advice. It’s far more personal than the old stuffy kind that only has lines for signatures, and you’re sure to pull it out time and time again throughout the years. This updated design is modern and fresh and can be customized with your wedding colors!

This is a great Christmas gift idea for family! Order yours by 12/15 and it will be ready for pick up by 12/22!

And, because, every post needs a picture, check out these cuties from last week’s mini sessions!

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!

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!

I just wanted to take a quick moment to remind all of my clients about our 16×20 Standout Wall Portrait giveaway (a $255 value)! All you have to do to enter is send me a note about your experience with Powerhouse Studios, whether it be weddings, portraits, or design. I want to know what you love about Powerhouse Studios, but I also want to know how we can improve and what you’d like to see from us in the future. Submit your feedback by 11/15 11/18 to be included in the drawing 11/18. Thanks to everyone who has already submitted their feedback!

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!
