Christmas {boutique cards} duloglo family

 

This afternoon brown UPS truck stopped in front of our place again and every time it stops to deliver package I feel like it’s Christmas!  Seriously receiving box from Fed Ex or UPS truck is very satisfying experience.    There is something exciting about getting shipments from Fed Ex and UPS delivery, I just don’t like when everything comes in all at ones in one day.

Today’s delivery was a set of 50 Christmas cards called “Boutique cards“.    Last week  I shared several images from Duloglo  Christmas family mini session and this week I want to show the final product.  These cards are  printed on thick paper, so they feel very sturdy.   We noticed that people who got the cards are really surprised by their quality as soon as they take them out of envelope.  The most common comments are “Oh, wow, this cards feel so expensive”.

Christmas {Luxe Card} design and print

 

Well,  with only 9 days until Christmas we are really enjoying this time of the year!   It definitely has been one of the best times of the year for us.    This year we decided to order the Luxe Christmas cards which are made with one of the finest paper available today.  Not only this paper has a really nice texture but it is also is made of very thick material, therefore it has a very nice feel to it.   Classic Felt press paper has a luxurious feel and smooth finish, producing a high-quality, timeless option for print products. It is an acid free, archival and Forest Stewardship Council certified paper.

We ordered 2 kinds of Christmas cards.  The first card is a  5×7 accordion style card that  folds twice in the middle and at the top.    It is very easy to fold this card because it already arrives pre – scorned.  The card has a unique name Luxe cards because it has a die cut {custom shape top}.  At the first image below I included images that show how the  card looks when it’s folded.
Nice thing about this cards is that the design {text+images} is printed on both sides.   It is always nice to have option to put more than one or two images from a photo session.
The second card is a very similar card except it’s a 5×7 card printed on both sides, so I redesigned elements for this card as well.

Family photo session {Maksim+Julia+Milana}

Maksim and Julia is very special couple to us.  This time I would love to share with you Maksim Julia and Milana their beautiful girl who just turned 1 years old.   Max has been our friend for many years.    Going all of way six or seven years ago, Max has been helping me on my weddings, from 2nd shooting to  designing wedding albums to designing and printing invitations.   Also I was privilege to photograph Max and Julia beautiful engagement session on Sail boat.   After photo session on 30′ sail boat we took train to SF and had really cool evening drinking best tea I ever tasted at Samovar Tea longe.    Six month later I was privileged to capture Maksim and Julia’s amazing wedding day, that took place in La Province under big oak tree.   Such a beautiful lay back outdoor wedding.

About year later Max and Julia asked us to photograph their maternity photo session and I’m very glad that recently Max called and scheduled photo session because they have beautiful girl Milana who turned 1 years old!
