Christmas inspiration - I can help!

As we approach Lockdown 2.0 in the UK and also Christmas, I am aiming to help out with a little inspiration!  Its inevitably going to be a tough time to get together in our usual large family settings over this period, so here's a way of spreading the family love....... at a distance!

Over the years I have pulled together large family photo prints for my own family which I have used for many purposes.....

Either as individual large framed prints, kids poster or indeed split up into 1000 or 2000 piece jigsaw puzzles!

If you have a collection of photographs either shot by me or indeed your own, I am happy for you to send them to me via Dropbox, Google photos etc. and I can create one single print which includes all the images!  I can add text and create prints in all sorts of sizes and shapes.

I can also take the hassle out of photobooks, send me your holiday photos (ok so maybe not from this year... unless you were lucky) the dates and location and I can create a photobook for you...

Here are some of my creations so far!

You provide the images and I will provide the technical formatting and sprinkling of fairy dust to help you produce all sorts of creations!  I can even help you order - Prices start from £25.00

Call me or send me an email and we can discuss your requirements 

Christmas gifts ~ Get your photos out there!

I am a massive believer in not allowing my photos to just sit on my computer/phone, never be seen apart from a random flick through.

What if you were to actually do something with them, its a instant thoughtful personalised gift for your family!  So I decided to try and inspire you all to give a gift involving your photographs....... they don't have to be the worlds best photograph in terms of light, composition etc, its more that you have taken a photograph of people, things or places you love and cherish and you look at them and smile 😀

So here is a bit of inspiration for you to try......... share the love 💖

1. Photobook or magazine
There are lots and lots of sites now offering great products in terms of books etc, I have tried most of them so here are a few you can try....
Photobox

Blurb not only do books but actually do magazines.... imagine your own holiday magazine! you could create something fun!!

2. JigsawsHow about a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle for the family over the festive holidays! Myphotopuzzle can create jigsaws up to 2000 pieces, or go for something simple for a little one and order 'matching pairs' game with the family on the photographs! 

 3. Collage poster

Why not create your own collage poster including lots of photographs from a holiday or family outing and create a poster print, frame it and give as a gift.  You can add text and lots of fancy borders to jazz it up!

There are many other items I have tried over the years, from designing my own calendars, mobile phone cases, creating my own family bookmarks or make a piece of pop art .  Whatever it is you create, it will be cherished and seen more than being stuck on your phone!
