With the new release of the Timeline Covers on Facebook there is now more real estate available for clients to show off their favorite photos from their session with you!  The “Featured” Timeline template collection includes six easy-to-use, customizeable .psd files specifically designed to fill the cover photo area on Facebook.  Each template was designed with enough room for you to add an image credit line (i.e.  ”Images by: Jamie Schultz Photography) if you wish to include that information.

This is a great way to earn word of mouth business as your client’s photos take center stage on Facebook!  Stay tuned tomorrow to see a brand new set created specifically for high school seniors!

I always love launching new products, but I get especially excited when I launch a template set that has been a big seller in my own portrait studio.  The Oh, Baby Folded Luxe Card Collection has easily been the most popular birth announcement set since we added them to our product line-up.  Clients love announcing the arrival of their little bundle of joy with these unique folded luxe templates.  And I love the word of mouth I get from clients who send printed cards to friends and family!  This is one of many reasons I continue to offer physical products to my clients rather than just letting them leave my studio with a disc.  When presenting the finished cards to my clients I like to pull one card from their order and wrap it in a beautiful ribbon with a handwritten note encouraging them to preserve one birth announcement as a keepsake.  I truly believe it’s little touches like this that keep my portrait clients coming back time and time again.

The Oh, Baby collection includes:

- 6 customizable .psd templates (for use with Adobe Photoshop and/or Photoshop Elements)

-Font list with links included

-Instructions for use with Adobe Photoshop

-Sized to print as 5×7 folded luxe cards

These charming Chalkboard Valentine’s Day 3×3 Mini Books combine fun lettering, bright patterns and your client’s favorite images.  These personalized designs are perfect for your clients to use to show to friends and family and also make great grandparent gifts.  This set of four 3×3 Mini Accordion Book templates includes layered .psd files designed to print through Miller’s, MpixPRO and WHCC.

This template set could also be used for:

-1st Birthday Pics

-Toddler Sessions

-Family Sessions

-High School Seniors

I just returned from Imaging 2012 which was held in New Orleans, LA and what a trip it was!  Not only did I have a chance to meet up with some wonderfully talented photographer friends, but I also had the opportunity to speak at the Miller’s/MpixPRO booth.  As nerve wracking as public speaking is for me, it is always so neat to meet with people afterwards and hear what they took away from the presentation.  A huge thank you to all of you who stopped by and a very special thank you to Miller’s and MpixPRO for selecting some of my products to display in their booths!

Now I’m back at the studio gearing up for WPPI 2012: Las Vegas!  If any of you are planning to attend you can pre-board for my platform presentation HERE.  This year I’ll be talking about how limiting distractions and the simple act of giving transformed my portrait business.  I’ll provide some concrete solutions for photographers who feel overwhelmed and are struggling to find balance in their everyday lives.
