Sweet Family Portraits ~ Gorgeous Holiday Cards

Tuesday, July 5th, 2011

I’m busy designing my 2011 Holiday cards, taking advantage of the summer weeks to get a jump on the holiday season. I love coming up with unique ways to help you express your holiday greetings. Last fall I had the privilege of photographing this lovely family. From our photo session, my client was able to decorate their home with beautiful family portraits and produce a keepsake card they were proud to send to friends and family members. Here are some images from our photo session and their holiday card. I’ve included a sampler of other holiday cards I produced last season to inspire you! Please contact me at nanine@naninephoto.com to book your fall family photo session so you can decorate your home and be able to send out a unique holiday greeting.

Summer Memories

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

Happy September!

Amid the hubub of back-to-school and a scheduled life, my mind wanders back to the beautiful summer we had. Let’s see … we traveled by planes, trains and automobiles to islands, beaches, pools, museums, parks and saw family, friends and neighbors. We curled on the sofa and read a ton of good books – we visited a gold mine – ate fresh figs on the veranda and we watched  Spain win the World Cup! Lots and lots of fun. As we stumble back into our routine, we need to remember to infuse a little summer into our fall, winter and spring and keep that sense of wonder and adventure alive through all the seasons. I am excited to share with you some sweet summer memories ~ I shed all my heavy camera equipment and traveled with the Olympus Pen EP-2 a downsized camera with interchangeable lenses. A modern rangefinder style camera, if you will. It was freeing to travel so lightly and fun to try a new camera with all its bells and whistles. Enjoy the view!

{Tomorrow I will resume the blog with news from Nanine Hartzenbusch Photography. But just for today we’ll dream about summer…}

Iris & Lily Cards ~ Perfect Gifts

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Ask and you shall receive ~ When I recently posted images of spring flowers, several readers asked if I would make them into cards ~ Well, guess what!? I did – and they are beautiful: 5.5″ x 4″ folded blank cards in a lustre finish ~ perfect cards to express thank you, get well, condolence, congratulations, birthday, graduation or a whole host of other greetings. They would also make great teachers’ gifts.

The card collections come with eight cards and matching parchment paper envelopes. Cost is $20 shipped to a US address. NC residents will need to add 8.25% State Sales tax. Please click here to place your order. I am now offering two designs ~ Iris and Lily. If you can’t choose between the two, you  may  order both designs in one box with 4 cards of each design.
