But also, because I LOVE valentine’s day photoshoots!

Every year I have a little fun with the theme. Last year it was the Valentine’s Day Cookie Baking theme shoot that inspired the Retro Valentine’s Day Card template in the shop. This year,  went a little bit more simple with my photoshoot set up but I had a LOT of fun designing this 5×5 chalkboard Valentine’s Day card!

All this cuteness can be yours for only $12, snag it here!

And just because I love valentine’s day and I love HIM,  here is my son Jasper and his girlfriend from this year’s Valentine’s day shoot!

See, now doesn’t it make perfect sense why I love this holiday?

So it is with GREAT pleasure that I can return the favor and whole-heartedly recommend that you go see Sandy when she comes out for her 2012 tours!

I’ve been to a few photography conferences and classes and I can tell you that NO one packs it in with amazing information like Sandy Puc. And if you told me you didn’t leave inspired by her intelligence, experience and passion and with tips you could immediately put into practice, I wouldn’t believe you.

Sandy and her team have put together a REALLY AMAZING offer, but it ends this Wednesday Feb 1st and won’t be back again with the payment plan option, so jump on this one now. Enter code WAL2012 to take advantage of the sale price, or read on for more info!

First up is the long awaited Organic Bloom frames for the Photographer’s Wall Display Guides!

If you aren’t already familiar with Organic Bloom frames- what rock have you been living under??

I kid!

Seriously though, these frames are AH-mazing. They are the only frames that I carry at my studio and my clients go gaga over them, so if you are a professional photographer and are interested in becoming an Organic Bloom retailer, you should definitely head over to their site and apply!

The only “problem” with the frames in my experience is that there are too many beautiful shapes that come in too many beautiful colors… how can the Libra in me ever decide which frame would best compliment each of my clients images? How can we expect our clients to pick from all of that gorgeous eye candy?

By seeing an example of it in a room of course!

And that’s why the Organic Bloom frames and the Photographer’s Wall Display Guides are a match made in beautiful wall heaven!

I can and will (later) go on about all of the amazing features packed into this product, but because at PWDG we are all about SHOWING is better than TELLING, here is a little video I put together about the OB wall guides:

In case you didn’t catch everything in the video, here’s a written list of features:

• Includes ALL 16 OB frame styles in 10 different sizes from a 5×7 to a 20×30!
• Cross organized by both style and size for easy reference.
• Includes an incredible 101 (yes, you read that right!) pre designed groupings!
• Includes both swatches AND a Color Book of Organic Bloom frame colors that makes showing your clients ACCURATE frame colors a breeze!
• Actions for glazing, resizing and inserting your images
• Create Double and Twin Double stack frames automagically!**{Stacking only supported in Photoshop CS3-CS5}
• Easily create custom sizes and groupings not included with the Frame Pack

Now, here comes the sliiiiiightly confusing part. The Organic Bloom pack can be purchased separately to install only in your previously purchased rooms, or, you can purchase them pre installed in any room you don’t already own and then follow the instructions to install them into your other rooms. Basically, the OB pack costs $100 and you only need to pay that ONCE, either as a stand alone product or bundled and pre installed into a room or set. Once you have paid that $100 premium, you are entitled to use the OB frames in ANY rooms you already own or will purchase in the future. I hope that makes sense. {If you are confused, leave a comment below because chances are other people may have the same question!}

Although the Organic Bloom frames look STUNNING in all of the wall guide rooms, I did create a special new release that compliments the Organic Bloom frames perfectly, which brings me to product release #2..

The Photographer’s Wall Display “Kid’s Pack!”

The kid’s pack includes four beautifully designed children’s rooms perfect for any child/family portrait photographer: A Girl’s Room, Boy’s Room, Baby Room, & Playroom with all of the usual single canvas, canvas groupings, single "regular frames" and "regular frame" groupings.

Click through each individual room to see what beautiful background options are available for each, but here are just a few sample images:

One of my favorite predesigned groupings in the Girl’s Room

Classic Boy’s Nursery from the Baby Room

The Baby Room also includes a gender neutral "Toddler Room" background.

The "Jasper" full sized bed from the Boy’s Room

One of the three Backgrounds from the Playroom

The Kids Pack does not require the Organic Bloom frames, but I think you will agree that they compliment each other perfectly -which is why I decided to release them at the same time AND offer them individually as well as part of a Kid’s Pack/Organic Bloom Bundle and offer them at a special price!

Kid’s Pack/Organic Bloom Bundle Introductory Price…

The regular price for this bundle will be $200 (still a substantial savings over purchasing each room and the Organic Bloom pack separately!) but for a very limited time – end of September to be exact- I am offering the bundle for $180!

This bundle includes the Girl’s Room, Boy’s Room, Baby Room, & Playroom with all of the single canvas, canvas groupings, single "regular frames" and "regular frame" groupings included with my other sets and rooms and also has the Organic Bloom frames pre installed!

So that about sums it up – this is what I’ve been working on for almost a whole YEAR since people started posting on my FB wall that I should have the OB frames in my wall guides.. and people started posting on the Organic Bloom FB wall that they should partner with PWDG.. One email, one in person meeting and many many hours of work later and a beautiful product was born!

Now I hope you will take the result of all of that hard work and go forth and make gorgeous wall candy for your clients! Don’t forget or post on our FB walls and/or tag us with your gorgeous new creations:

Then, I’ll give a little demo/overview of my product.

This is a great opportunity to for you to get those 7 extra groupings even if you just order one room to try out the guides!  It’s also a great chance to take a peak at H&H’s ordering software if you aren’t already familiar with it.

Here are the details, I hope you will join us!

I’ll take you through a mini tour, room by room.

Stairs

The stairs come with 20 (yes, you heard that right, 20!) different canvas groupings and FIVE different backgrounds styles to choose from – from traditional to modern!

Here’s just a tiny peak at some of the looks you can achieve with the stairs template:

For full details and many more examples, please visit the stairs template page.

Office

The office template can be used for any kind of office or workspace, from a formal “executive” type office (get your clients thinking outside their homes!) to a home office or even your studio (above the reception area or client presentation room.)

There are three backgrounds and lots of fun options to choose from, like unique brick walls to change things up. Of course you can always opt for a plain wall and change the color to your heart’s desire.

Here’s a little look at the Office template:

Visit the Office template page to see more!

Hall

The Hall is sort of a combo Hall/foyer and has 4 different backgrounds from “Park Avenue” chic to traditional (Chelsea)  to beach casual (Montauk and North Hampton.)

And there are tons of new canvas and framed groupings in the hall template that are taller and wider than any of the other rooms -perfect for ANY spot that has less horizontal room, like a narrow wall next to a window or door.   And the best part is – if you own any other rooms and want to use these new groupings all you have to do is copy them (duplicate the layer groups)  into any of your other rooms!

In fact, I  expanded the ceiling height of the dining room and couch template to modern standard ceilings (9 feet) so that you can duplicate these taller groupings into other rooms… which brings me to the topic of Upgrades!

Upgrades & Updates

FREE upgrades of your old rooms are available for anyone who purchases set III, just buy the new set (s) that you don’t own and put in the notes that you are upgrading. Once I verify, I will email you the links to the updated files of your old rooms AS WELL AS any free gifts that you now qualify for.

So, for example if you are upgrading from set I to Sets I, III and III I will email you the update to set I, plus the bonus kitchen and the 7 additional groupings in the H&H Bonus pack!  If you are upgrading from sets I&II to Sets I, II & III, I would send you an update to all the rooms in Sets I&II (including the kitchen) and also the H&H bonus pack.

What’s Changed?

Updates that have been made since the last release include a color change and floor change layer for the modern white couch, expanded ceiling heights for the chair, dining room and couch template, an additional trilogy grouping and other minor fixes and improvements like color change layers via color fill.

Here is an example of the couch before the increased height:

and after:

Dining room height before update:

and after with higher (9 foot) ceilings:

Not only does the ceiling height add more vertical room for groupings, it also is true to modern ceiling heights, so it will give your client an even BETTER idea of scale and how tiny an 8×10 or 11×14 will be on their wall!

An additional Trilogy grouping has been added to all rooms called “H&H Trilogy” which is similar to my original trilogy groupings (2 16x20s and 1 20×30 in the center) but the middle canvas is narrower at 20×23 instead of 20×30:

This is a great option for people who love trilogy but might not have enough horizontal wall space. It’s also available at H&H as a canvas cluster, so you can pocket or pass that discount on to your clients!

The modern white couch in the couch template now has the option to change the wall color as well as add a floor and change that color:

I designed these to spec for the new WHCC boutique B2 5×5 scalloped edge card, but they will also work with the Miller’s Luxe 5×5 scalloped card or any straight edge 5×5 card (always check the file against your print lab’s specs!)

The design looks like this without the scalloped edge:

I have to thank my longtime online forum friend Maria Luisa for alerting me to the post. And thanks Matt, – it’s nice to be called clever, particularly by you :)

I created a sneak peek video that shows the drag and drop interface for inserting images, it’s lightning fast!
