I simply love the bright pink and yellow combo, the striped gable box and the chevron mini bag (that I use in my own packaging!). How clever to offer a cookie in your branding colors and theme?

Don’t forget the awesomeness of the outside of your packaging when mailing–branding stickers, stamps–all can really add to the wow factor.

You don’t have to match everything to have a cohesive look. Gather different frames, fill them with images and brightly-colored sayings {psst…lots of freebies here!} or art and you have the perfect little room, filled with brightness.

Frames within a frame (much like this one from Becky Higgins that I just adore) create a fun and modern display.  Add an interesting wall paper to bring it all together.

How fabulous would it be to include an inspirational saying on a tag or a sticker with each of your orders? So.lovely. I currently have heart-shaped newborn stickers with my logo and the quote,

” A new baby is like the beginning of all things–wonder, hope and a dream of possibilities.” ~eda j. leshan

on them.  I have them in pink and blue and use them with newborn session orders. I love it and would love to expand this idea!

These wedding invitations are so unique and fun, and I would love to create a similar package just for fun to give to my little kiddo clients that I photograph. How FUN would it be to give a five year old boy a little bag filled with dinos?! I love that the enclosed cards and envelopes are business card size, too! Perfect for little hands!

Welcome to Wall Art Wednesday! Find lots more gorgeous inspiration right here!

I recently did some travel sessions in Florida this summer, and I had the opportunity to meet the sweet Jill and her adorable son. Isn’t he a doll?! Jill sent over some photographs of her newly-created wall display using images from our session together.  I love it and love how it came together! Can’t wait to photograph the whole family next time, Jill, and meet your hubs!

Details on the photo wall:

The photographs were all printed through MPIX (In Jill’s words, “Love them! Beautiful quality, awesome service. I had one incident where a package came crushed. They sent me replacements within 24 hours. Unbelieveable service.”).

I adore the black and white graphic curtains with that green paint. This image illustrates how photographs do not have to be an essential part of the room to be meaningful. Here they are placed strategically and in a small way, but wouldn’t you love to work in here where you can just gaze over and see your loved ones?
