Paris dreams

So last night, I decided it was finally time to print some images from my trips to Paris. Our first workshop there was over three years ago, and can you believe that I have not printed ONE single image from any of my three trips there? It’s one of the problems with this digital age of photography… I have millions of photos stored on a half dozen hard drives, and yet I very rarely print them out. If you shot on film back in the day, didn’t you just LOVE working in the darkroom, developing your images, and watching the MAGIC happen as your images came to life before your eyes, as you held them in your hands? I really miss that feeling. So I’m telling myself that it’s time to start printing some of my photos. I want to remember all of the amazing trips and adventures that I have been on, and someday maybe I’ll create some books that document these memories. In the meantime, though, I finally decided to bite the bullet and print a few of my favorite images from Paris to hang on the walls of my new home (when I get married!!!) I had so much fun going through the images from my first Paris trip, and I couldn’t help myself – I just had to post a few here.

SO many amazing memories from Paris! After our Paris boudoir workshops, we usually take an extra week of vacation to travel around and do some sight-seeing. These are some of my all-time FAVORITE memories… and I can’t WAIT to take my new hubby with me to Paris someday! 🙂 PS – I’m getting married in about SIX weeks! Woo-hoo!


Also, I have to mention that we are for SURE doing a Paris Boudoir Workshop in the Spring of 2012! So, start planning and saving… the Paris workshop ALWAYS fills up VERY quickly, so make sure you’re signed up for our newsletter, and once we make the announcement (within the next couple weeks), sign up fast to secure your spot!

PS – There’s a CANVAS SALE happening right now with Bay Photo Lab – but it ends Sept 1st (ummm… that’s TODAY, can’t believe it’s already September!)… so go order your canvas prints right NOW. Seriously. Do it.

A lot of photographers ask if we ever sell large prints to our boudoir clients. You may not think it’s possible, but it IS! We DO actually sell large prints to our clients… especially artistic images that they can hang in their bedroom, master bathroom, or walk-in closet. So, if you are hoping to sell more large prints, you really need to have a sample to show your clients what type of image they ought to purchase. Order a canvas print of a black and white, beautiful artistic image, show it to your clients, and mention that they can purchase a canvas like this to hang in their walk-in closet. If you don’t ASK, you will never know whether you’ll be able to sell this product. So give it a try! Get a sample canvas print from Bay Photo, and ask your clients if they would want one. If they can see a sample, and hear you talk about the options of where they might be able to hang it, they will be able to envision having a piece of art like that in their bedroom.
