Senior Storyboard Collage

Caitlin will be graduating next week! I created this 11x14 storyboard collage for her and it will be printed on a metallic paper and mounted on a black bevel board that looks beautiful sitting on an easel or shelf.

A storyboard is a great way to feature more of your senior pictures if you are having trouble narrowing it down!

Opening Day!

It's Opening Day and a great one it was for the Cardinals!

Just a reminder that my etsy shop has some unique Cardinals prints in it.

Gifts

I just got done putting together a couple of gift certificates. One of them is for a newborn session. What a great idea for a shower gift! If you know someone who is pregnant and need a unique gift, please contact me!



I'll have to tell you more about the other one later...a unique idea that I will share after it's been gifted!

More presents!

(Jamie...do not read this!!)

I added these to my etsy shop, but thought I'd show them off on here too. I originally made this last Sunday intending it to be my brother Jon's Christmas present, but my husband liked it so much, he told me I should sell them. So I created an etsy shop and also sold a few at the craft fair.




This is what I have available right now--8x10 print ($20), 5x10 print on 2 mm styrene board ($22), or 10x20 print on 2 mm styrene board ($45). Let me know if you are interested...we have to move fast, but I can still get them to you by Christmas!

I also made this one this weekend for my sister-in-law Jamie. She's one of the most crafty and creative people I know! Hopefully she really did stop reading so she can still be surprised! :) I'm printing this one as a 10x20 for her sewing studio space (i.e. garage :)



I have some extra 8x10 prints of this one on the way too and will be posting it on etsy tomorrow...or contact me directly if you're in the STL area. Thanks!

Presents???!

(Disclaimer--Matt, Dad, Mom Hill, Erica, Rylee, Katie...don't read this!!)

Are you still wondering what to get a few people on your Christmas list?

I have three ideas for you!

One--visit my etsy shop!
http://www.etsy.com/shop/rachelhill
I have several different photography prints for sale. If you live in St. Louis, I will also have some on sale at the craft fair at Lutheran South this Saturday from 9-3. Or just contact me!

Two--Gift Certificate to Rachel Hill Photography!

Three--Storyboards!
If you have booked a session with me, a storyboard from that session is a perfect way to showcase one or more of those pictures along with some type of sentiment. It's not too late to order one, so contact me soon for prices or ideas.

Here's a few of the ones that I have put together for this Christmas! (This is where some of you should stop reading!!)



My niece Rylee just got a bedroom remodel and this is her new bedding.

So I made this 12x12 silhouette of her jumping for her new room. Printed on a 3/4 inch standout that does not need further framing... (the colors are off in the above photo and I made it to match the actual bedding, not the photo!)

This is for my husband's classroom. He likes to have pictures of the boys so I usually give his something new each holiday. And I have to say that Jordan is currently underrepresented. 8x10 standout.

I made one of these for each of Jordan's godparents. Godparent poem along with a picture taken the day of his baptism. 5x7 printed on 2 mm styrene (does not need to be framed either).

This is for my dad's office. Printed as a 12x12 standout (these pictures are also on their Christmas card).

This is for my mother-in-law. She loves the Chargers and used to be a season ticket holder. Printed as an 8x10 standout.

For darling Breanna. (This was her birthday present). Printed as a 5x30 on 2 mm styrene. Perfect for putting on a shelf or above a twin bed.

For Aunt Erica. The best 12 year old aunt ever. My boys LOVE her!!! 8x10 standout

Here's other storyboards I have featured on my blog in the past: storyboards

Got an idea for your own...email me and let's get it ordered!

Letter Art Pricing--UPDATED

I posted about these awhile ago and have had several people inquire about pricing.

These will be printed on a 2 mm styrene board and sprayed with a protective lustre coating and linen texture. They are suitable to display without framing and look great on a little easel or shelf (or could be framed as well).

5x7 $15
8x10 $22
11x14 $30

I would also sell you a digital download for $20 each that you could print multiple times on your own.

Please contact me for any other sizes or products...like a gallery wrap! I had the Peace one made into a gallery wrap for my mother-in-law's birthday on Wednesday.

I originally made the Peace one as a present for my cousin Rebekah and for her, I printed it as a 11x14 and framed it in a 16x20 that had a sage green textured mat...maybe she'll post a picture for us?? (Why didn't I take one...must have been pregnancy brain?)

EDITED TO ADD:
Rebekah sent me pictures of her framed picture!! Thank you! (The frame is from Garden Ridge)

Slideshows for Sale

If you scroll down a couple of posts, you can see an example of a full length slide show. If you are interested in purchasing a 3-5 minute slideshow of your session set to music and burned on a DVD with a custom cover, the cost is $30 ($10 each additional DVD). These would make great Christmas presents for grandparents!

Ideas for Christmas Presents

If you are looking for a unique Christmas present for someone, I have an idea for you! Below you can see some artwork that I have made using pictures of items that resemble letters. The pictures used below all were taken at my grandparents' farm. You could order the ones you see below or I could make a custom one for you with your choice of words and text. Colors and sizes can be customized as well!






Another idea for a personalized present would be to spell out someone's name. I recently made one for a wedding present...

I want to post a picture of the actual finished product so you can get an idea of what they look like, but waiting for the sun to come out! (I'm primarily a natural light photographer!) Maybe tomorrow...

You can order these as an unmounted print, a print mounted on 2mm styrene or a 3/4 inch standout (not requiring framing), or even as a download that you can print on your own. Please contact me for prices or with questions!
