Save the Dates and More.

This post is a little delayed, but I didn't want to spoil the surprise package anyone was set to receive in their mailboxes by posting too early. Then I had a baby...so, needless to say, better late than never! Here are the engagement photos of one of my favorite colleagues and her fiance, along with some adorable Save the Dates. The design was a joint effort, but the homemade caramels were all Megan and Tom!

By the way, there were originally five caramels in the box, but I couldn't resist eating a couple before I shot these photos. Oops!

I'm back with one of my favorite products!

So during those busy fall months of family photos, wrapping up summer weddings and my own personal hectic schedule, I have a tendancy to neglect the blog.  f.e.b. images' facebook page, however, is up-to-date with lots of fun, fall, family photos.  However, I wanted to share a recent sample of one of my favorite products.  It's not something I sell individually, but if you've received one in the mail, I hope it was a pleasant surprise! 

When a client orders a family portrait session or their wedding images on CD, they receive them in one of these custom cases with a few of my personal favorites from their session/event.  Here's a glimpse of a case from one of this summer's weddings:

I took this late at night, right before I popped it into a shipping envelope, so the lighting is not perfect, but I just loved the way this one turned out and wanted to share.  I added the little hints of green to match Aimee's bridesmaid dresses, and the photos are from one of those brutally hot days in July (which seems nice right about now)! 

Stay tuned for more (regularly scheduled) posts!

Auction Donation & New Product Feature!

As many of you know, I work as a fundraiser in my less-artistic, albeit fascinating, other life.  So I'm sympathetic to the needs of so many great St. Louis nonprofit organizations.  One of my many generous and thoughtful clients is coordinating a fundraiser for the Almost Home organization, which provides transitional housing for homeless mothers and children.  I had a specific auction donation in mind, and it involved f.e.b. images' newest product! 

Organic Blooms frames are absolutely lovely, and these custom creations are availabile in an almost unlimited number of fabulous color combinations, shapes and sizes.  F.e.b. Images will be donating an 8 x 10 Lucy frame in French Vanilla, as well as a portrait session and 8 x 10 canvas mounted print! 

Isn't it beautiful?

Here's a detail shot of the wood frame with chocolate brown glaze. 

Do you have a charity near and dear to your heart?  I'd be happy to support your cause if a donation like this is appropriate.  I just need time to arrange for a special custom order like this!

FYI:  I can also hook you up with a frame or frame gallery for your own home.  Interested?  Let's talk!  A collection of these would look beautiful in a nursery or hallway, and they're both affordable and unique.  I'm offering a one-time only Introductory discount of 25% through August.  Since they are custom, they take awhile to come in, so order early for holiday gifts.  They're worth the wait!

One last shot to leave you drooling!
