A Creative Christmas Gift
Sing with me now..."Tis' the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la, la la la la"...Oh! It's not that time of year yet? Silly me! I've been thinking a lot about Christmas for a few weeks because, 1. I want a new Digital SLR Camera and 2. I want a killer keyboard so I can learn to play like Chris Martin from Coldplay.
I know I'm being a tad bit selfish and maybe even having a little wishful thinking on the whole "playing like Chris Martin" part, but the truth is, I'm not going to rely on Santa Claus to bring me these items this year and I have a plan.
I have always struggled purchasing gifts for different members of my family, mainly my parents and in-laws. It's not that I don't know their character and what they would love, it's just that they don't seem to "need" the latest nose hair removal system or Bath and Body Works lotion specials. The items I see that would really benefit them in some way or another, are of course, out of my price range, so I turn to the talent God has given me and create personal gifts that not only bring tears to the eyes of the receiver, but that can be treasured for a lifetime and then some.
This is the first year that I have decided to put myself out there and actually offer up my services instead of you asking me personally. Notice that I am starting early in the season? Oh wait, it's not the season just yet! Well, anyway, I have high hopes for an awesome response to what I have to offer, after all, I am playing Santa Claus this year, not only to myself, but also to my sweet kiddos.
Here's what I am offering:
Photo Video Montage
For those of you who don't know what this is, it's basically a bunch of pictures put together in a slideshow format with music added to it and some custom titles thrown in throughout. I then burn it to DVD and create a custom cover and light scribe label. For Father's Day this year, I gathered some pictures of Patrick and our kids and did a photo montage as his present. I saw tears welding up in his eyes and knew that this gift was more special to him than that $50 gift card to Fry's Electronics I thought about getting him would ever be. You can view it HERE.
PRICING:
-100 DIGITAL photos $50
-Duplicate DVD's $8 each
-200 DIGITAL photos $75
-Duplicate DVD's: $8 each
Do you have photos that aren't digital? No problem! Just add a 20 cents scanning fee to each non-digital photo. You will recieve a CD with all your scanned images in digital format.
Each DVD comes with a Custom DVD Cover and Light Scribe Label. See Sample below: (Click on photos to enlarge for better viewing.)
You also get to choose the music you want, or I can help guide you if need me too.
Your Photo Montage can be created for someone specific like the one I did for Patrick, or we can make one that can be universally given out like to grandparents, parents, in-laws, etc. You can knock out gifts left and right doing it this way, AND it's cheaper too!
Are you excited yet? Well, I'm offering more...
How many of you upload your family photo to Snapfish or even your local drug store and create a generic Christmas card and hope that after you've sent them out, no one else picked the same design as you? Well, check this out:
Custom One of a Kind Photo Christmas Cards
-50 5x7 Cards and envelopes for: $40
-Each additional 25 cards with envelopes: $15
-Singles are just 75 cents each
-50 4x6 Cards and envelopes for: $25

You email me a photo or photos and I email you a proof when finished. After you approve, they will go to print and depending on where you live, I will either drop them off at your home or mail them to you.
Do you want to add a Photography Session to your Christmas Card Package? I'm so down to photographing you and your family and using the photos for your card. You also get all the edited images on CD with full copyright so you can print the photos you want in the sizes you want at your favorite place of business. Here are few samples below. Click on them to view a larger image:
I want to make it clear that everything I do is ONE OF A KIND. I try to capture the personality of your family and bring it to life. I am a self proclaimed perfectionist. Everything I do is top quality. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!
So are you excited now? If your not excited yet, I know you must be intrigued because you are still reading this rather lengthy post. Soooooooo, I am going to throw in one more thing...
This post is mainly for the Video Montage and Christmas Card items mentioned above, but my true passion, what I truly LOVE, is the ten tiny fingers and ten tiny toes of precious newborns. There is nothing more perfect than a brand new baby. Before I did Christmas Cards, I was doing birth announcements. Check out some samples below:
Once again, your announcement will be one of a kind.
Newborn Package: You get:
-Newborn Photo session. You will receive all edited images on CD with full copyright.
-50 5x7 Birth Announcements with envelopes
