• 1 tablespoon butter

• 1 splash orange juice

• ground white pepper to taste

I had all but the codes to recover my account, and that was not enough after submitting all kinds of legal documentation, domain information, drivers license, video, you name it. The ones that stole this account did a dang good job at locking me out.
IG is much like Facebook, there really is not human to talk to, the support is the worst, even more so for a business account it seems.
So, PLEASE lock down your accounts on both these platforms. NOTHING is sacred anymore, and getting it back is next to impossible.

We had to email them 52 times, in order for them to take our copyright infringed images images down, and we are still finding them all over the web, and having to file copyright infringements on all areas that they shared them. This has become a full time job in the past week, being that PPA, Getty and many others that we work with are now involved in helping us reclaim our images.

Again, I beg you to secure your accounts!

I also noticed through this, and through our postings there has been size changes made to content and the sizing, well we have you covered there, just click here and you will be directed to Google drive for your free ATN action. The NEW IG sizing and sharpening action, will help in the clarity of your images and posting from either your Phone or Desktop. Please help yourself to it.

We aren’t gaining ground very quickly, but we are starting at square one once again. So, if you care to find us on IG we are at @impromptu_photography_2 and would love to see you all there!

I know it doesn’t seem like it’s already close to Mother’s Day, how time goes by is beyond me most days.

We’ve added some abstract modern painting ones, and some abstract with a touch of nature this year, it’s been fun working with abstracts and it’s not as easy as they look. :-) , but they have been fun to do.

When we say all you need is a printer, we really, REALLY mean it. These were printed on an old Canon iP7220 that is probably about 8 years old, and the texture quality and all are still there. We include printer settings, how to print and even give you suggestions for printing papers, and card stock.

Our go to each time is RedRiverPapers card stock in Linen and even their bigger formatted paper for our wall art. Here are just a few samples.

Well, but of course we’ve listened! And we are now proud to announce their release!

Due to the huge file size of these, the downloads will work a little differently for these. They are connected to our professional Google Drive, and are in a small Zip File with a Word Document and a PDF Document with the links you will need to download these.

If you should have any difficulties, questions or concerns, please just reach out to us via our Contact us section of the site or email us at ImpromptuPhoto@gmail.com, and we will be sure to respond timely!

Most of all enjoy and have some fun!

]]>New hand painted Oil abstract and minimalistic art printablesMarketingLogosTemplatesCindy GillespieMon, 21 Feb 2022 00:06:00 +0000https://www.impromptuphotography.com/blog/social-media-templates-new-for-2022-fhyrp577171fa3e00be9f9a312075:57719e40e4fcb54a63051b91:61febcac8d7610635894279d
We've had a lot of inquiries from Farmasi and Rodan+Fields consultants, we thought we would share our experiences and questions that we receive from them most often.

A majority of these two companies refer their consultants to Canva to make their displays, fonts, color and their own logos. Well, that is a cost of 12.99 a month to these consultants and they often can't get what they want or need in either images, colors, designs for logos, or up to date graphics that express their brands, colors or personalities.

Each of the consultants that have reached out to us for logo design are thankful they did, we've taught them how important branding colors are, and their logos, most of all of how these two things set them apart from all the other consultants.

We mentioned Canva above, now let's look at a couple of other options.

There is Photoshop Elements, which is a one time fee, desktop version, and lifelong purchase of 69.00 that can read PSD files. PSD files are layered Photoshop files that Canva can't read, and you are either forced to purchase just "Canva" templates from others or you find you can't customize them to the degree you need for your brand. With Photoshop Elements, it gives you the freedom of your brand, colors and logos. Photoshop Elements is a super user friendly program to learn quickly with. Let's face it there are zillions of YouTube videos on getting started on PSE (Photoshop Elements) and we even have some here on our site.

Now there is also Photoshop (the big boy, so to speak of the graphics and editing world). Their plan is super affordable at 9.99 a month and you get Photoshop and Lightroom at the same time. Much of the options in Photoshop are replicated in PSE (Photoshop Elements) . There are some small differences for the advanced users, and those that are advanced would benefit more from Photoshop, in our opinions.

Both PSE and PS give you the ability to edit your images (even cell phone images) and then save them, and place them in PSD templates (like pictured below), whereas Canva does not give you some of these options.

We just thought we would touch base on some of the costs, the experiences of the consultants we've helped along the way, and give you pricing and ideas to grow your business, and to stand apart from all the other consultants.

Here is just a small sample of some of the templates we offer and they are fully customizable, even the fonts!

Please use our "contact us" section for your consultation of a logo, branding colors or a personalized design.

Over the past few weeks we've had Farmasi consultants reach out to design more brand centered templates for their Facebook, Instagram and Tick Toks. Farmasi is a company that has over 70 years in the health and beauty industry. We have done these for Roden+Fields also, and the responses they are getting are pretty amazing! If you need a logo, templates to fully customize to "your taste, and your brand colors" please reach out to us and we can make those dreams and visions come true.
And if you need a Logo we are just a email message away! We will help you choose your color pallet and a clean logo, that will shine you on and up with the success of your business!
If you are unsure of how to work with PSD files, please let us know, if you can send us the images we can load your products into the custom templates, and send them to you, so even non-Photoshop, or Photoshop Elements users, we have you covered!

Just use the “Contact Us” section of the site and we will begin the work!

I know my granddaughter loves it, and her friends also. So, stop thinking and start printing and walk it to the mail box. No store, no car, no getting dressed, I believe it’s a win-win for everyone! :-)
