Today we have a fantastic share of an easy album that will impress you with its time-saving capabilities and your clients with its clean and polished look. Liz of Elizabeth & Jane Photography shares, “I used the InDesign template from The Fleur Book to create an 8×8 coffee table book. It was so easy to mix and match the pages to match my images and create these pieces to match and it saved me so much time. I love the way they turned out!! I really appreciate any time savers like this and the fact that my clients are really happy with the designs makes it all the better! The clients LOVED the design and had no changes at all – such a great thing!”

engage your readers with magazine style blog boards

lauren — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 14:00:26 +0000

Clients love to be in the spotlight, whether you’re bragging about them on Facebook or Blogging their special photos. Why not take it to the next level by using these blog boards to make them feel even more special with an editorial style? Nicole of Nicole Taylor Photography shares, “The Blog & Print Inspiration Boards: Magazine Style are so interesting and engaging! I went back and forth on purchasing this but knew I wanted a change. I needed something different for my blog to help me shape it and engage readers more. I had an engagement session I was about to blog and at the last minute purchased this template knowing this was a step I wanted to take. I emailed my bride an “urgent” email informing her I needed quotes from her and her fiance. She was on the ball and I had them by the end of the day, just as I was finishing up the last layout. I went back through and incorporated their quotes along with my own favorite love quotes into the layout.

As someone who is lucky to blog twice a month because of how time consuming it is – these easy templates have sparked a fire under my tush to blog. So now I’m going through current and some old sessions that I never blogged and am working on their “magazine spreads.” It’s become a fun little project for me!

I have had an overwhelming response from readers. Everyone LOVES the magazine layout style of the post and my own personal touches with the images. It was most certainly a move I needed to make and I’m glad I did!

Thank you for sharing Nicole! Enjoy your $75 gift certificate to the shop!

get creative with your clients’ valentine’s photos

lauren — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 13:00:33 +0000

Today’s fan share showcases another way to utilize your templates for the little holidays like Valentine’s Day. Wendy of Studio E Photography writes, “I selected some of my favorite pages from the Deliciously Fresh- Asuka Book Album Template templates and changed the colors and words to match some of my client’s favorite images. Then to make them treat sized I resized them down to 2×4. We added our website as well – any chance to advertise and we will! I then had them printed as stickers locally. Then we filled up some goodie bags with candy, pencils and other treats and decorated away.

I thought it was fun to do something extra creative for a holiday that I have time for since Christmas is always such a busy blur. This was a surprise for my client..so we’ll see what her reaction is when she sees them! I’m pretty sure she and her kids will be tickled pink sharing their valentines with classmates and family.”

Thank you for sharing Wendy! Your $75 gift certificate is on its way!

Inside Tip:
Design cards, stickers, and other fun products a few weeks before Valentine’s Day and give your clients a reason to get back into your studio with fun and bright colors. Create some mini-sessions for them to take some photos for your new products and show them just how much fun even the little holidays can be!
