How do YOU display your portrait memories?

I'm always curious about how clients display my work in their home. Since I meet a lot of clients on location, I don't always get to see their homes or how my portraits are displayed. On occasion, I do revisit homes (specifically newborn clients who have me back for 6 month+ sessions) and I love seeing the different ways my work is displayed.

Yesterday I revisited the Phillips Family for Leanna's 1 year session (well, technically 16 months!). I met with them a year ago and was just now able to see how they displayed my work in their home. I love it! (J & A... keep an eye out for your sneak peek soon!)


I thought it would be fun to have clients email in photographs showing how they have used their portraits in their homes. Maybe if I get enough response I'll even put together a contest for the "best displayed" work! Its been a long time since we've had a contest around here!

Well, I'll be the first to participate. Many of you know, we have recently moved into a much larger home than our last, so I have lots of place to decorate! Our home was a foreclosure and it needed (still does) a lot of TLC and updating. So, slowly we're remodeling and redecorating and putting the "us" into our home sweet home. Just this past weekend I finally finished a wall in our upstairs that I'm so thrilled with. The images are 12x12's... I love the bold statement it makes... (excuse the yellowness... I'm too lazy to color correct it!)



And another spot in the upstairs hallway... one of my favorite photos of the boys.

And in our living room... (the display needs to be updated to include pictures of Hudson... poor baby!)


So, how do YOU display your portrait memories? Email your photos to me so I can share them!

Holiday 2007... coming quickly!

If you're thinking of Holiday cards this season, now is a great time to be thinking of getting your order in before the holiday rush. This year I am doing things a little differently... I have created (or, for some of the templates- purchased them from vendors) a set of holiday cards for the 2007 season. Some are from last year, but were my favorites so they're back again. Anyhow, I will be setting up a link to the cards I am offering and will link you to them soon. For now, here are a few.






If you have had a session with me and wish to purchase holiday cards, drop me an email at nicole@nbarczak.com

The deadline for placing your order is November 10th.

Santa... bring me one of these, please?

Stumped on what to get grandma for Christmas? Well, do I have the perfect solution. What grandma doesn't want to show off her gorgeous grand children's faces? What better way to do it than with a custom photo bag!
And, whats better than that? From now until October 27th, if you order a photo bag you can get the second bag for 20% off. Order one for grandma, and one for yourself!

To check out the styles of bags available as well as pricing information, CLICK HERE.

Bags must be ordered BEFORE OCTOBER 27th to ensure delivery by Christmas.
*Shipping and handling is $9 per bag

Christmas in July....

Or, well, *thinking* about Christmas in July.

This is just a heads up to clients who plan on ordering Holiday/Christmas cards from their sessions... your order will have to be in BY NOVEMBER 10th for you to receive them by December 1st. (so, if you want them earlier than December 1st, make sure you get your order in earlier).

And, by saying "have your order in" that means you and I will have already corresponded and worked out a card design, so its best if you contact me at the end of October to start designing your card.

The last date for sessions that will include an order for Holiday Cards will be November 1st.

All cards are 5x7 and priced as follows:
(minimum order of 25)
25 cards: $2.50 each

Price is discounted for bulk orders:
100 cards: $200 ($2 each)
200 cards: $350 ($1.75 each)

Here are a few samples from last year.... (all cards are 5x7, and $2.50 each)
