I have been soooo excited to share these with you. I just sent this set out to a recent client that LOVED them. I almost didn’t want to part with them and they weren’t even images of my children! Each album set is custom designed for you. The album is 3″ x 3″ and actually has a magnet inside to keep the front and back secure when it’s closed. They also come in these adorable little clear cases that protect it when you carry them in your purse, etc. I also love the idea of using them as fridge magnets. I’m sure there are plenty of other great ideas but I’m sure Grandmothers won’t need one as long as they can reach into their purse and pull out this little gem! We are going to use them for all different types of sessions/events such as, newborn, families, seniors, weddings, engagements, bridal portraits, child sessions, pet sessions, maternity and boudoir portraits. I can’t wait to start handing these little babies out to all of our clients.

I’ve been wanting to share some photos of the new studio for some time. But I really wanted to wait until it was a little farther along in the remodeling. I just couldn’t wait any more! I decided that it wouldn’t hurt to share pictures of the work in process. Then I can take more as it becomes more complete. This has been a dream of mine for a long time and it’s finally coming true. I won’t be using the studio for traditional portraits. I will be doing all of my consultations and sales presentations there along with newborn and boudoir sessions. I still love the fresh, fun images I get with doing children and families on location so that won’t change. I just needed a place to call home (as far as my work is concerned). I can’t wait to share more as the project progresses. The owners live in Atlanta and are “living” there during the remodel. I feel so bad for them because it doesn’t have central AC yet so they are literally roasting with 2 small window units to cool the whole building. Well, hopefully it will only be a couple of more months before it’s finished. Let me know what you think!

This is the view from just inside the front door. It's quite a mess!

This is a view to the right of the front door. It's a pretty big room that I will probably use as a waiting area.

This is the entrance into the main part of the building just after you pass through the front room.

A small storage area in the bathroom. I can see props going here!

A shot of the unfinished bathroom.

Another shot of the unfinished bathroom. I think this room will be finished last. Can you really blame them?

This was taken from the back of the building looking towards the front. If only they would leave me the big screen!

A shot of the kitchen area. They are getting ready to install new cabinets next week.

Yes that is a garage door! That is coming out and french doors are going to be installed along with a couple of floor to ceiling windows on either side.

The stair leading to the second floor.

The second floor...kind of small but lots of potential.

Another shot of the second floor looking in the opposite direction. The stairs are in the middle of the room.

Well, that’s the tour. I hope to be adding some more images as the work is completed. I really can’t wait to get everything decorated and my work hanging on the walls! When it gets closer to completion, I will start planning an Open House so I can invite all of my clients, friends and family over to get a better look. I hope you have a fabulous weekend!!

Learn how to take better images of your children. It's not rocket science, but you do have to know a little about that fancy camera.

I’m so excited about this new product. I couldn’t wait to share it with everyone. We take a lot of pride in the amazing products we offer at Infinity Images. We work the best labs in the US to bring the highest quality items at the best possible prices. Now on to the Float Wrap! A Float Wrap is a new, unique option to display images. Float Wraps are similar to Gallery Wraps or Standout mounted prints in that they add dimension by extending out from the wall. Float wraps are unique in that they appear to be floating on the wall with the main focus on the image! Create a modern display with a Float Wrap wall collage that is ready to hang once removed from the box! No need for expensive frames and mats.

Float Wraps are created by wrapping the photographic print or canvas print around masonite to create a thin wrap. The print or canvas is protected with a laminate and padding is added between the print and the masonite to give the front of the Float Wrap a raised, elegant look and feel. The back of the Float Wrap is complete with a black paper backing and a black ¾” thick gatorboard block that allows the Float Wrap to extend out from the wall. The back of the block also contains drilled holes for hanging. Or, if you’d prefer to display your Float Wrap on an easel, you can order your wrap without the gatorboard block.

Order Fine Art Canvas with a Semi-Gloss Laminate or Metallic Canvas with a High Gloss Laminate. Lustre and Metallic Photographic prints are finished with a Matte Laminate. Float Wraps are available in many popular sizes from 8×10 up to 20×30.

We’ve finally done it! We’ve separated our portrait and wedding websites. We feel like Weddings really deserve to be showcased on their own site so brides can concentrate solely on what they’re looking for – all things weddings! It took a while but here it is!! www.infinityweddings.net You’ll notice that you can still link to our portrait site from there. And you can also link to the wedding site from the portrait site. Let us know what you think and feel free to be totally honest. We love the feedback!!

We are gearing up for a wonderful holiday season this year. It’s still summer (well, technically) but are already working on our 2009 Holiday Card Collection. Here are just a few samples of what will be available this year for your family portraits. We also offer custom designs so feel free to let us know if you’d like something special.

We are so excited to now be offering Handcrafted Photo Jewelry through the studio. Visit our Online Store to see all of the fantastic pieces that you can order with your photo. My favorite is the Tile Pendant!! Photo Jewelry makes wonderful gifts for all occasions. Don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any questions. We’ll be glad to help.

Classic and elegant...our 1-inch pearlescent polymer clay tiles look fabulous with any outfit...for any occasion! Each pendant features your image on the front, and is designed with a beautiful, light texture on the back. It is then glazed with a protective glass-like finish for increased durability and longevity.

I’ve been patiently (ok, maybe not so patiently) waiting for my copy of Grand Strand Bride Magazine to come in the mail. We submitted a Real Wedding for consideration and it was chosen!! And the editor also asked us to write an article and that made it in the magazine also. I’m so excited!!! My copy came in the mail yesterday and it made my day. I was slightly disappointed that the editor had to make a few changes to my article to make it fit on the page but all in all it was a truly amazing feeling. When the editor approached me about doing the article, I panicked not knowing what to do. I’m no writer by any means and all I could think was “I’d rather poke my eyeballs out with a fork than to look like a moron.” But after getting lots of support from all of the important people in my life, I decided to give it a shot. I was actually surprised how easily it came once  I started. I guess writing about what you know comes naturally. So anyway, here it is. I hope it reaches lots of brides and grooms that are debating on whether or not to hire a professional for their wedding.

Hi everyone! I can’t believe that the new blog is finally finished. We needed a new look to match our new website and we think this is it! I hope all of you enjoy it. It has loads of information and it very easy to navigate. Please let us know what you think and let us know if you have any questions.
