Resolution: In
order to achieve the highest quality photo announcements, set your digital camera to the
highest resolution possible when taking your pictures. Please don't send blurry photos - we are unable to use them in your
design.
Lighting: Natural light is best!
Find an area in your home filled with lots of indirect sunlight. Set up the photo shoot
near a window to maximize lighting. Outdoor photos work best on an overcast
day or look for a nice spot in the shade.
Set-up: Photos
taken on light or dark backdrops work best. For baby photos, try wrapping your
baby in a plain white blanket or sheet. Avoid clothing or backdrops with busy patterns. Solid colors achieve the best results.
Photo
birth announcements: With
digital cameras, you can't take too many photos! Check out our
Baby Photo Tutorial for more tips and tricks. Bare
babies, photos of the face, hands, and feet make great shots. Try catching some
cute facial expressions. Sleeping babies and bare babies make beautiful shots.
Try taking some with mom or dad holding the baby, or even include some siblings.
The more pictures you take, the better selection you will have to choose from to
make your photo birth announcement perfect.
Photo wedding invitations/announcements: For wedding photos, try outdoor
photos.
Have fun! Candid shots can sometimes make the best photos. This is
the time to showcase your personality and love for each other! Taking
great photos will insure that your photo wedding invitation or photo wedding
announcement will meet all of your expectations.
Holiday photo cards: Ever have trouble getting all of the members of your
family together (and smiling!) for a family photo? We make it simple to
include everyone in your family holiday greetings. With our holiday photo
collage cards, every member can be included. Include photos taken throughout
the year to showcase your adventures.
Photo Thank
you notes: Make your thank-you's even more personal by creating custom
photo thank you cards with your photos. Take a fun picture on your honeymoon or
for babies, take a picture in a favorite outfit received as a gift. Your
loved ones will appreciate your personalized thank you!
