We thought we'd answer the top three of our most asked questions about holiday cards and photo sessions.
1. What should we wear to our session?
The only thing we feel strongly about is no prints, large logos, or designs on clothing. Solids really look best for both black & white or color photos. Of course, if you have a beautiful dress for your daughter with a holiday plaid pattern, by all means use it! Colors that compliment each other work best for larger families. It's really all about how you want your photos to look.
Also, if you're wanting a large color print for a room in your house, by all means think about what color your room decor is while deciding on your clothing choice.
2. Can we use our own photos for the holiday cards?
Absolutely! To design with one of your images, we just need the original, high resolution file of the image. You can mail, drop off a CD with images, or email them to orders@silverboxcreative.com. We can also work from non-digital files. Simply provide the photo and we will scan and return the original with the final cards. *Please note: Silverbox will need a copyright release to work with another photographer's image(s).
3. What if it rains?
Did you know that the best photos are taken on cloudy, overcast days? We will have the studio set up for an indoor photo session in the event of a rainy day. If you have your heart set on outdoor photography, we will make every effort to reschedule your shoot.
Just a little holiday card preview of one of our 2010 designs. We've been busy little elves at the studio and are so excited to introduce our new card designs and preview our new shopping cart. Look for more designs in the days to come and complete collection at the end of September. These card images are from a wonderful member of our Silverbox Affiliate Program from Kentucky,

Ah, the power of thumbnail sketches. A dying art if you ask me. This is how we start most jobs, and find a creative energy in pulling our thoughts out on paper. It's back to the basics, and we could never do without them. These thumbnails are the beginnings of our 2010 Holiday Cards that are currently being worked on here at Silverbox. Yep, some of these baby sketches will make it to the end stages, and some won't, but rest-assured you're getting authentic works of art that will greet your friends and family this winter season in style.
