Christmas Cards Galore!

I didn't manage to get Cebulski family Christmas cards out this year (I never have, actually, but thought this year might be a first!), but I did do a lot of Christmas cards for clients and friends!

I'm hoping that next year I can offer more official Christmas card "packages" and have options pre-made for people to choose from. Below is a sampling of some of my favorite cards from this year. A few of them have notes above them. All the photography is mine as well (except for the one of us with my in-laws...Joe's cousin, a talented photographer, took that one on my camera for us. Thanks Teresa!) Also, many of these cards are flat (it's noted if they are different)....but on the back we printed more photos in black and white (of the client's choosing). I didn't include the backs for space reasons....but they all looked really cool!


The top is the front of the card, then it opens up and below is the inside of the card.



Below is a second option for this family (they chose the one above). Since I didn't have any templates made beforehand, I ended up creating 2 or 3 different options for each client--so it was a bit labor intensive for me! But next year I'll have lots of ideas!

The card below needs some explanation. It's a tri-fold card, so when all folded up, the square with LOVE is on the front. When that is opened, the one with PEACE is to the right, and the one with JOY is to the left. When the last flap is opened, you see exactly what the second image shows--three squares, with JOY to the left, words in the center, and the family pic to the right. And on the back is the photo of the grandparents and grandkids. Does that make sense? Tri-folds are cool looking--a really different option for a Christmas card.




This family below is amazing---these 2 woman have taken in lots of children with special needs, and right now they have 10 adopted children living at home (others have moved on). What a privilege it was to photograph them all! A little chaotic, but so much fun. Can you imagine?

This is my mother and father-in-law's card :) Recognize us?


Perfect fall day for this shoot, huh? I can't wait to show you the rest of the images from this session.

And a few birth announcements thrown in for good measure. These are 2 of my favorites from the last few months. Beautiful babies!
