Between photo sessions

Between photo sessions, I like to learn things. These days, mostly social media and new tech stuff...
This week I am learning how to build a welcome page on face book.

As usual, a long process... I do like to learn on my own. but even with help the little details are not always apparent. Trial and error plays a big part...
Check out the page and let me know what you see.

Have fun

Want a free Tattle Tales session with prints?

There is a perk for finding a good find ! When you buy a voucher for a Tattle tales session through Living Social, and then get three friends to buy it too, yours is free... Sounds like a good deal to me...
Hurry. The feature will be on Living Social until Friday only.

Tattle Tales being featured again!

This time in Brampton on the Living Social site. Here is the link. This feature will not last long. Two days only.

The image on the feature is of the angels on a cloud theme, but the voucher you buy is valid for any the of the Tattle Tales sessions that are already scheduled. As long as you schedule your session before the voucher's expiry date.

Hurry before the deal ends. Oh, and if you tell three friends and they buy vouchers, yours is free. 

The next few scheduled themes are: Angels on a cloud until the end of February, then Birthday surprise - the balloon set and then March break... We have three different themes scheduled during March Break. But that's another BLOG...

See you soon

Have a great day :)

QR Codes... What fun!

This is really a lot of fun and great advertising.
Read to the bottom to see really cool ones.

You may have seen this before.

 or they can look like this 

This is a QR or quick response code. 

The QR above is Wedding Stories URL The one on the right it a URL to Your Eye on Photo

They were originally invented by in 1994 Denso Wave  for use in the automotive industry. Denso has since released the patent and we are now all able to use QR Codes thanks to them. You can read more about them here

One needs a reader or scanner to decode it . There are apps widely available for smart phones and tablets that allow you to read the codes. These QR codes can be a coupon, a message or a link to a web site. They are now seen everywhere and are great to link your written material with your internet business. For example: In a magazine add you can add a QR at the bottom of the add to be scanned as a coupon. Or the Qr can contain all the information you would normally find on a business card. 

But wait... how does one get one of those??? There are many places where you can find help. To know more about QR codes, to generate your own, and to find a lot of resources. This is a good place to start. QR Stuff 

These codes have only been around a short time and are already undergoing a transformation. As you can see with the code at the top of the page. They can look pretty plain. There are graphic design companies that now specialize in personalizing your codes. I have seen a few on line but this one inspired me the most Be Q rious Custom qr code design. 

I have only starting seriously looking into those last week and here is my latest creation

 

Tattle Tales URL

 

      Your Eye on Photo URL

It was a lot of fun to do. Try scanning these with your smart phone. See where they take you. 

There are hints below each one.

This is the latest photo session at the studio.
Making sure we get some images with white and some with black background in anticipation of the one year Baby Art Book
We are looking forward to the newborn session after this. In a couple of weeks :)

Happy Groundhog Day!

Good Morning to all!
It is always nice to hear that Spring is fast approaching even though winter has not been a hard one this year.
This is what our Wiarton Willy has told us this morning ;)

In the spirit of renewal, the studio will undergo a change of scenery today. The Angel set is going up in anticipation for tomorrow's sessions.
We still have room for this one and the costumes are all pressed and waiting... See a preview and read about how to prepare for the angels on a cloud,

Let the transformation begin !

I wish you all a nice day :)
